It Is now over a hundred years since Adanson, by ingenious calculations, showed the learned that su h ideas, though, ' extraordinary, arj? yet facts of the most scrupulous exactitude. This naturalist by a happy chance found in the interior of the trunk the baobab in one of the Cape Verde Islands an Inscription which had been traced on It by the English 300 years previously.

In the Mexican state of Sonora, at the headwaters of tne Rio Mayo, is the ancient mining village of Tyopa, which In early days was famous for the. sweet-tonebells cast there from copper procured in the neighborhood. It was from Tyopa that chimes of bells were obtained for many missions on the Pacific coast, and from the same source came bells that were hauled by ox teams across the desert to mission settlements in Arizona and New Mexico. There was one such settlement at Sitka, Alaska, established by Fran-cisca- n monks, which got its chime of bells from Tyopa. Some of these bells are still in existence, their tones as sweet as ever. Many of them have been melted in lat ter days for the gold and silver they contained. The sweetness of their music, hi fact, was due to the elreiim-yearstance tha about o per cent of the crudely refined copper from which they were cast was silver and gold.
