Professor Niven has just discovered some remarkable prehistoric ruins m the mountains near Guerrero, m Mexico. He believes that volcanic disturbances had once completely destroyed a vast population, leaving only the ruins of their dwellings, of which tens of thou-
sands exist m the district. M. Edouard Rod, the distinguished French litterateur, visited the stockyards at Chicago to witness the slaughter of cattle. Seeing the animals being killed at great speed all around, he exclaimed, "Mon Dieu! What barbarism ! " and immediately fainted. He did not recover immediately, and was carried out. His friend who accompanied him afterwards pressed M. Rod to witness some more of the slaughtering, as he had not yet seen any hog-killing, but he could only murmur feebly, '• Sufficient, It is too horrible !"
