wa*

of some very hard,

/^park-colored wood, like palm, charred in *F|acea, and worn and broken, cat and torn, as if it had been whirled through torrents and maelstroms for hundreds of yeans. The ends were pointed, and fire hands of dark metel, like bronze, were

Iraak in the wood, and the whole bore evidence of having passed through in tenso heat. On elo&er examination the log was seon to consist of two parts, and these band# were to bind It together. ^The captain had the bands cot and in the exact centre, fitted into a cavity, was around stone, eighteen Inches in diameter. The rest of the wood wu» solid.

The captain, more diga ohsted at this result than he cared to coi-'i-m, picked up the stone ahd was greatly astonished at its lightness. Examining it more closely, he remembered that when a boy on the old New Hampshire farm he used to And hollow stones with crystals in them—geodes, as he afterward heard them called. This was ratably a geode, placed in this strange rec itaclo for some unknown purpose. He cabin and put it into hi*

trried It to his \_yt. captain re-4-veston Bay wtrlcMitieg the

Two months later thi turned to his cottager and placed among h. goede ho had so stran *iy found in the Gulf Stream. One day he studied again .And the sunlight chanced to fall upon a narrow, irrefular line. 5 "I declare," said the old man, "it looks tike as if this stone had been patched to gether ln

He struck it with a hammer and it fell apart and proved to be filled with small pieces of yollowlah-brown wood. Tlie shell of the stone was about an inch thick, studded over inside with thousands of garnet crystals. It had been broken into three parts and fastened together again with some sort of cement which showed plainly on the inside.

The old captain poured the pieces of wood on the table. They were perfectly dry and hard, They seemed almost like strips of bamboo and were numbered and covered with writing, made by pricking marks with some sharp instrument like an awl. He found the first piece of wood and btgan to read, for it waa in English. The work of deciphering*1 the tiny dents on tho bits of wood soon became the cap* tain's chief occujwiUon, He copied each sentence off in his old log-book as fast a* it was made out. Five or six sentences were about all his eyes would stand without a rust, so that it was along time bo* foro tho narrative wan at all complete. The narrative runs as follows:

llSARTH OF TUB KOCKIEH, -r About s»pt, 17, imv I am an American, Thomas Parsons, of Machias, Me. 1 have no living relatives. I write this in a vast vaulted chamber, hewn from the solid granite by some prehistoric race. I have been for months a wanderer in these aubter* ranean spaces, and now I have contrived a way to send my message out to the world that 1 shall probably never see again. If some miner, tunneling In the Rockies, come« upon a vaulted chamber,

with heaps of ancient weapon# of browse, L. bars of gold and precious stones that no it man may number, let him give Christian burial to tho poor human bones that lie in this horrible treasure-house. He will find all that is left of my mortal frame near the great over-burning lamp, under the domo of the central ball That lamp is fed from some reservoir of natural gas, It was lighted when I came, months nge. For ail I know otherwise, it ha* burned there for thousands of years.

The entrance to this sub-montane river is in the Aasiniboin® Mountains, north of the United States hue, I waa a prospector there for several years, and 1 heard stories among the older Indians that a river greater than the Columbia had once flowed where the Kooky Mountains now are that the Great Spirit had piled tho mountains over it mid buried it deep underground. At last a medicine man, whose life 1 had onoe saved, told me that he knew how to get to tho river, and took me into a cavern In a deep gorge. Here we lived for a week, explore by meat of pine torches, and at last found a passage which ran teadily downward. This, fW Indian me, was the path by wh Ui» tutors, who once lived in the middle of thenarth, had found their way to the light Of da\

I think we were about three thousand feet below thoentranceof thecave^whea wo bogan to hi'nr the sound of roaring waters.

An swrmed. For «t«ta we moved down the high *rchw*J at*

aanaiini ootlie%

«teaciy rate of only about throe miles as hour. The average width of the stream was about five hundred feet, but at limes it widened oat to almost twice that. It swarmed with many kinds of fish, and they were very easy to secure. The rock walls and ronf seemed to be of solid granite. We were below the lattea formation.

As nearly as I can calculate we wen about a thousand miles from where ouz voyage began, and nothing had yet happened to disturb its monotony, when we began to find traces of ancient work and workers. An angle to the wall was hewn into a Tiiantic figure another point there seemed to be regular windows, and a dwelling was parched far up in the gigantic dome.

The Indian told me more of the trar ditions of his race as we drifted past these things. "They were very great men who lived here. They had many things they knew more than the white men. They all are dead now." And 1 gathered from his chance remarks that they had left secrete in their cave dwellings which would make him the biggest Indian on the continent if he could discover them.

Suddenly we found that the river was flowing much faster and we failed to check our raft. We went over a waterfall, perhaps seventy feet high, and were thrown on a shelf of rock at the side of the river below. I was unhurt, but my companion was so badly injured that he died in a few hours. I repaired the raft after a fashion and continued the voyage, finding it impossible to contrive any way to scale the sides of the waterfall and attempt to return. All our torches were lost and the attempt to proceed further seemed but tlae last act of despair. A few hours later I saw alight gieom over the river in a very remarkable way, shining clear across, a* if from the headlight of a locomotive high up on the wall. This aroused me somewhat from my stupor and misery. I sat up on the raft and steered it close to the edge of the river see what wonderful thing had happened.

As I came nearer I saw that an Irregular hole was in the wall a thousand feet above the water, and the lijjbt shone out through it. It was a cheerful thing to look at, and I hung to the granite and shouted, but to no effect. Then I saw a broken place in the wall a little further down, and let the raft drift along to the base of abroad though much worn and broken flight of steps winding up the cliff that brought me at last to the- place of light, a denied hall overlooked the river, hewn out of the reck nnd having in its center a metal basin with a jet of natural gaa. I have had to cut off a part of this metal basin since, but I have not harmed the inscriptions. There are many gas jets, but in the other cham hers I have had to light them.

I have lived here for months and I have explored all the chambers of the place. There is no escape so far as I can see. The river, twenty miles below, plunges down vaster descents and the water gets so hot that I should be boiled alive If I tried the voyage. I have discovered a log of tropic wood like palm and a geode in which I can send a message to the world of sunlight Perhaps tftis will get through the fires and float to the surface tome where. I am convinced that the river which brought me here flows on into the Gulf of Mexico and that sooner or later my log will bo picked up. Perhnp.* this river is really the source of of the Gulf Stream.

I will now write down my discoveries, not in order, but a whole. My story must be brief, or this scunt means of record will fait m&.

This place seems to have en approached only by the river. It consists of six largo, domed halls, connected with a seventh, in which the light burns. There ire bronze swords, spearheads and other weapons stored in one chamber. There have been costly fabrics, also, but they aave perished and only a few fragments tre left* In another hall are many treas» ires accumulated. I do not attempt to jailmate the riches here. Montezuma's oat treasure is said to have been eighty million dollars, but I believe the hidden reastire house of this forgotten race would iwarf to insignificance the riches ot 4stecs and Peruvians put together. Tine gold is in great bars, which I cannot lift, or would have tried (o make & golden cossel to carry my story. The silver is in a yet more huge blocks, perhaps five feet square. Everything here is cyclo3ein. A granite chest, higher than my Wad, is full to Ute brim with rings and arecious stones. What surprises me most 8 that there bats diamond*, pearls and unber among them. What a widely expended commerce this people must have aad before they descended to this suberranean river and hid their treasure* n«rel

One hall i# especially the hall of piomtett and of writing. I spend many it urs there. I me the history of this race, their wars, their heroes, their my* ihology. They are like the Egyptians ia »any things, but they are not Egyptian*, nevertheless they have some of tiie art tpirit, too. Perhaps they lived in the ilxne before Atlantis was overwhelmed aerhaps they were antediluvians One hlog is certain, they had poets, historiim, phih pliers, in those days. I wish I Hi vie down here a tithe of the «ri ,.ad 3om that I find on Ute gayly amted ...sof th ancients of so many tge* fC'V" *i'

Moreover. I find everywhere, chief of tlie symbols of life, in the most sacred places, a food-root like a water-nut, from which grew white leaves and seeds. There must Iiave been some electric principle evolved here by the vast warm lakes of the river, lit with soft light everywhere at certain seasons. For now I come to the strangest fact of all that 1 gather from the records of the race these people had two kinds of light one they found and lit—that they knew as the lesser God of Life the other, coming from north to south, twice each year, filled for many weeks the whole channel of th river, from depth to dome, making the very water translucent The water-root and it? grain ripened and were harvested in the last days of the light. Two crops a year they gathered, and held their Days of tlie Feasts of th« Greater God of Life

I have tried tb put together all I can ol their picture writings and their paintings, so as to understand what sort of men and women they were. I confess that I have learned to admire them greatly. They were a strong, brave, loving, and beautiful people. I am sorry they are all gone. I never cared half so much about the dead Etruscans or Carthaginians. The ear'iest chapter in theii history, so far as I discover, is a pictur# of a line of men and women descending into a cave and a dragon pursuing them. This seems to point to a former residence on the face of the earth, and to some disaster—war, flood, pestilence, or some fierce monster— which drove the survivors into the depths of the earth foi shelter.

But all these thoughts are vain and foolish. I have explored the cliffs of the river and the walls of the mighty halls which shelter me. I have attempted to cut a tunnel upward past the waterfall, using the ancient weapons which lie in such numbers on thj floor. The bronze wears out too fast, but if 1 live long enough something may be done. I will close my record and launch it down the river. Then I'will try to cut my way out to the sunlight. §|Here the story closed. Some day, perhaps, an old man. white haired and pale as one from the lowest dungeon ol a hastile, will climb slowly out of some canon of the Rockies to tell the world more about his discovery of a lost race.

Jffei -'-//I 0 Certain KtnpJoyi»ent The cooper, printer, and barber can visit any portion of this country and always be certain of work. The typo can walk into an English printing office in tlie country, or the world, for that matter, and earn his supper. He can shift from Maine to California, from Manitoba to Florida, and, wherever he goes, find work. He needs no letters of credit, none of recommendation for he has the available knowledge. Tha same is true of the cooper. Where barrels are to be put together there lie can find employ* meat And what with beer barrels, flout barrels, whiskey barrels, and sugar bar* rels, there are always barrels to maka.

Likewise the barber. Lot him walk inic any shop in any place, it matters not, and he will find employment. Tlie clerk, the cashier, the salesman, the bookkeeper, the writer, nil must have longer time manifest their capabilities?, must have* measure of acquaintance, must hav* that which we know as confidence but these three, the printer, the barber, and tlie cooper, need no character from theii jast employer.

While in India, Captain Marryat, the novelist, was intensely interested in th* devotion and self-denial of a huge elephant. The beast was defending bin* self from swarm of mosquitoes, using large branch to keep them from th« crannies and crack* of his thick hide.

His persecutors were still annoying Mm greatly, as was evident from hfe mot ions,when, his keeper appeared witi a little child, This be laid down tafon tlte animal, sayiag, "Watch ftp «a3 walked away,

The elephant immediately broke off small whisk from the large bough, aa4 Instead of fanning himself, directed hk attention in driving away every mo» qoito from the infant. He continued this until the keeper returned, two boon after, thus wetting, though a brute, as example of devotion which few mm would have imitated.

asleep. Tlien, slowly, a* I look^I. v., whole figure mel:ed dosfn and fenle away to a pile of dust. I closed die *brin« and touched no more of tiiem. but I oftei go and look at the faded painting anc think how lovely the girl was.

The paintings on the walls of this mu ral chamber show that the people hac two systems of disposing of their dead. The great mass were consigned to th« river, but the boiies of all those wbc were famous for beauty, wisdom or anj good quality were preserved by a pro cess of emimlming. which they evidently thought would make them endnre foi ages. There are probably 12,000 separat* bodies here and they represent more that twenty successive generations, if I rightly understand the system of family group ing. If people lived as long as they dc now, there was an average of about fifteen additions each year to this great Westminster Abbey of the past. From sort of a map painted on one of the walli I obtain the idea of many an thicklypopulated communities which used thif place as the sepulchre of their chosen few.

Evidently that was before volcanic outburst made the channel of the rivei like a cauldron boiling over endless fires. All along the course are towns marked, groups of rock-hewn rooms on the cliffs, populated lands on the river, promontories from whose sides fountains of light seem to spring, Did thousands of people once live and find happiness in these vast vaults of death Things must have been very different then from now. They must have had many reservoirs of natural gas. Tlte animal life in the rivei must have been much more varied. In' deed, there are pictures in the hall ot war, as I have named it, tlmt show fcwc things plainly-—that there were thotls ands of cavarns, extending over bun dreds of inilea, and jieopled by animals with which the heroes fought, and thai the river was swarming with existonce.

TBJE BMJBJLTtllXa CAFE.

One of the Moat Singular Phenomenon In Nature. In the range of mountains in Western North Carolina, known as the "Fork flange," a most singular phenomenon exists. It is the Breathing Cave." In the summer montli3 a current of air •Mines from it so strongly that a person jannot walk against it, while in the winter the rush of air inward is just as jreat.

The cold air from the cave in summer is felt sometimes for miles in a direct line from the mouth of the cave. At times a moat unpleasant odor is emitted upon the current from dead animals ducked in and killed by coming iu violent, contact with the walls. Tlie loss of aattle and other stock in that section during the wimer months is always great, and is accounted for in this way They range too near the mouth of the mve, and the current carrier them in.

At times, when the change from innalation to exhalation begins, the air is filled with hairs of the various animals not infrequently small dry bones have been carried for over a mile from the mouth of tli3 cave as though shot from an air gun. The air ha* been known to change quite suddenly during exhalation from cold to quite hot, accompanied by a terrible roaring and gurgling jound.

Many scientific men have visited the place, but the phenomenon still remains unexplained the residents of that seclion fear a volcanic eruption. Something is wrong, sure. V,-

Stop Washing Your Hair, but ISrush it Briskly Kvery Dny.

n.

Have you been accustomed to wash four head in soapy water?" said an eminent physieiai & a ge.itleuian who conjulted him for baldness. ^Yes, every morning," was the gentleman's reply.

Well, that is the cau-e of this bald place stop washing and begin brushing your hair. Use a bristle brush, and brush for fifteen minutes every morning And night. You may not notica any improvement for a year, perhaps not for two, but be assured you will have a fine crop of hair, and never grow bald if you pursue this course."

As fifteen minutes seems very long while vigorously moving a hair-brush hither and thither over the surface of your head, it would be well to inveigle one's friends into assisting, wouldn't it?

If the hair is falling out, remember that it is owing to an unhealthy condition of the scalp. First, cut off about two inches of the hair, next wash in clear, cold, soft water, rubbing dry with a crash towel then begin the fifteen minutes' brushing process, and in a few weeks you will see the tiny spires of new hair coming all over your head.

Beware of being tempted to the use of any nostrum whatsoever, no matter how plausible the advertisement thereof all are more or less injurious, generally more, as you will find out to your sorrow if you begin the use of them.

Sewed With Her Month.

A curious human being died at Stegor Island, N. B., a few days ago, says an Ottawa ajecial. of whom the outside world knew nothing, but was Wonde ingly spoken of in Iter own neighborhood as the girl who sewed with her mouth."

This •gfcrP was fifty years old when she died. Her name waa Mary Goodine, and she had no arms, hand*, legs, or feet

She learned when quite young to perform with her mouth the ffices usually filled by the hands in cutting and sewing, and pieces of patchwork done by her are now held by neighbors as memorials of her surprising accomplishments,

She lived with a brother and sister, and onoe refused an offer from Barnum because her brother did not care to accompany her.

High.t Terror* in Children. litany adults know from their own ev jerience how distressing actual terror 4. perilous exposure has perhaps calle out so strongly that the very remetn trance of the adventure is exceedingly aainfuL Some men have been complete!, prostrated by the feeling. Not a tewsuf ferers from cerebral disease have beer rormented with terrors only less horribli than those experienced by tlie victim ielirium tremens.

It is well known that a night of terro? has not unfrequently blanched a stal wart sufferer's hair to absolute white ness. Many a sudden death has been iue to sudden fright.

Now night-terror is not uncommon among children and their sufferings fron it are quite as real, and perhaps quite & great, as those of the grown men and women to whom we have referred, and the practice of dealing harshly with them because of the unreasonableness ol the fear, and sometimes even of punish ing them with a view to breaking up the habit, or with the thought of expelling fancied trouble by a real one, can not lie too strongly condemned.

Every one should remember that it i* of the very nature of terror, whethei the cause be real or fancied, to unuervc its victim.

Says tlie Medical and Surgical Reporter! "Whoever has experienced these terrors in his own person, or studied them in hi3 own children, must feel deeply that they are a very serious affliction, and call for the greatest amount of wise and kindly sympathy, and the most discreet management "In moat cases, they are associated with some chronic or temporary adment. Indigestion, a catarrhal condition of the air passages, which interferes with respiration. swelling of the tonsils, or of the substance of tho walls of the air passages, and congestion of the membranes of the brain, constipation, or au overfilled bladder, are among tho causes which give rise to night terrors. In treating thorn, of course, it rucassary, first of all, to a-certaiu, if possible, the presence of .such existing causes, and remove thetn.

A bright light in the room is often exceedingly helpful, as thuj the real, through the medium of sight, crowds out the imaginary. Hjw often even strong minded men fiud a similar relief from imaginary fears! Snuetimes an assuring word' from one whom the child fully trusts, .with their presence for a while in the room, may be sufficient t«. allay their fours and soothe them to quiet slumber. S metime3 his mind may be relieved by diverting it, as the Reporter suggests, by producing his toys, or ?arnes, or picture-books, or by playing on a musical instrument.

Burglttr Alarm Photography. Another novelty recently patented is the combination of a flash-light appaia tus and camera with a burglar alarm fixed that*the moment the intruder step upon an electrically connected mat In sets off the flash-light and ring* the burglar alarm bell. Two cameras concealed in the wall*, aimed at the spot and loaded with sensitive plates, thus automatically photograph the burglar when the flashlight goes off. If he successfully escapes photographic record is left behinu which will tell what kind of a hat oi clothes he wore and perhaps show hiface. In viaw of the possibilities of this invention it will be advisable for burglars hereafter to wear masks.
