rTBITTCt FOB TBI DISPATCH. !
It was in March, and a furious storm was
raging; the wind whistled shrilly throneh
the streets and alleys, -while the rain,
mingled with snow and hail, beat angrily
against the windows. Little Franz, with a
discontented face, looked ont at the storm
and drammed impatiently on the window
panes.
"I hate this ugly weather," he cried; "it
rains nearly every day, and I must stay in
doors. Why can't it always be pleasant
like yesterday?"
"Why, Franz," said his aunty, who sat
sear sewing, "we must expect rain this time
of the year, and our flowers in summer will
be all the prettier for these nhowers. Be
sides, it is very pleasant here in this large,
warm room; and you hare so many boots
and toys that you ought sot to complain of
the weather."
"But, Aunty," said Franz, still frown
ing, "I am tired of these books and toys; I
hare bad them all winter, and now we boys
want to fly our kites and play marbles."
"Xever mind," said his aunty as she was
leaving the room, "the sua will soon shine
bright enough, and then you will forget
about these dark days."
But Franz was not willing to wait for the
bright days, and when he was left alone he
shook his fist at the falling rain and cried:
"You ugly, disagreeable weather, aren't you
ashamed of yourself? The rain is bad
enough, but you must have hail and snow
and make it as bad as possible."
And suddenly Oh, how frightened Franz
Vas there stood outside on the window sill
a little man not more than a foot high, and
wearing a long gray cloak covered with
enow, and a broad brimmed hat, Irom which
the water ran in small streams. After look
ing scornfully at Franz, he criea: "Mr. Im
pudence "And then he sneezed violently.
'ITou sancy boy" and here be sneezed
again, as if he had a severe cold. Then the
window flew open, and seizing Franz's col
lar, the little man continued in a threaten-
SECEET OP THE
ing tone: "How dare yon talk 60 about teh
weather? If you scold any more, I shall
wash your face with hall and snow water
until you can think of nothing else. I am
the weather sprite, and shall not stand such
abuse. Come with me and yon will see that
this is the very best kind of "weather."
The great cloak then spread itself out into
two wings which grew larger and larger;
and when the little man commanded Franz
to seat himself between the wings, the boy
tremblingly obeyed, and with great fear be
gan his journey through the air. Oh, how
cold it was, and how the wind blew the rain
and snow in his face. Over the tops of the
houses they went; out of the city into the
snow-covered lanes and fields. Finally,
thev paused before a large oak tree, which
looked very bare and desolate with its naked
branches. Taking a pair of spectacles from
his pocket, the weather sprite placed them
on Franz's nose, commanding him to look
closely at the tree and tell what he saw. At
first, Franz was too frightened to see any
thing; but after a time, as he regained his
courage, he cried: "Oh, how beautiful; I
can see inside of the tree."
"And what do you see?" asked the little
man.
"There seem to be a great many little
streets; but they are all empty, except in the
heart of the tree, and there e'its a beautiful
little girl sleeping. Beside her, is a crystal
fountain, and she is holding down the water
with her hand. "What does it mean?"
"I shall tell you," answered the sprite;
"the little nymph is the life of the tree, and
she is sleeping her winter's sleep. When
the spring's sunshine wakens her, she will
let go of the fountain, and the water will
flow throneh the streets which you have
seen, and the tree will begin to crow green
and bloom. But if she is awaked too soon,
or the tair-weather fairies become too saucy,
then both she and the tree must die. Now
do you understand why we cannot have sun
shine all the time?"
After saying this the little man again
spread out his gray cloak and carried Franz
into the middle ot a large field, where the
snow was very deep.
"2fow," said he, look down into the snow
and tell me what yon see."
Franz, wEo had now lost all fear of the
sprite, looked intently for a few moments,
and then said: "I see some grains of wneat
away down under the snow, and I hear some
whispering, as if they were talking. Yes,
I hear them distinctly. On; grain is saying:
Mt is a good thing for us that we have this
warm covering of snow, and not the hot sun
to melt it.' 'Yes answered another, 'these
sun rays are very treacherous; they seem
very Irfendly, but when the Irost comes they
run away and leave us to freeze."
Franz still listened; but the little grains
did not speak again.
"Are yon feot ashamed," said the sprite,
to have scolded, jnst because you could not
go waiting? Any kind of weather should
please children; Tor the rain makes ponds
in which they can sail their little boats; the
wind drives their windmills, and with snow
balls boys and girls can play many games."
Then he made a snowball and threw it so
high that Franz did not see it tall.

"That is fine," cried the boy; T wonder
if I could do that 1"
And he began to mold the snow in his
hands. But when he looked around, the
little fellow had disappeared, and he was
much vexed to find his new playfellow gone,
just as he was beginning to enjoy him. But
he trudged merrily home, thinking over his
adventures of the'afiernoon.
"When he reached the honse, bis aunty
said: "Vhy, Franz, I thought you did not
like this weather, and here you have been
out walking."
"Oh, it is lovely ont in the country," he
replied, "and I shall never again complain of
rainv dnvs."
Franz saw the weather .sprite only once
more, and that was one summer day after a
heavy shower. The little boy was playing
in the garden, when he saw 'the little man
waiting along the path in front of him. In
stead of a long gray cloak he wore a light
rain coat, and as he passed along the flowers
bowed to him, and even the birds and but
terflies flew low before him, as if to pay
their respects to so great a personage.
"When he saw Franz he smiled kindly, and
then disappeared. Paysie,
CARDINAL GIBBONS AT HOME.
A Correspondent's Clever Description of the
Distinguished Prelate.
The Cardinal came into the parlor with a
quick step, says a correspondent of the New
York TTorZd in describing a visit to Car
dinal Gibbons at Baltimore. Bis footfall is
clear and distinct, and there is something
abont the sound which reveals the length of
the stride. He entered the parlor with an
inquisitive smile on his iace, his head
slightly inclined to one side and his eyes
turned npon his visitor with a searching at
tention, uhich was full or kindness, but
still seemed to mate a demand lor the
stranger's identity.
You would take him at first glance for a
man of 40, hut he was born 55 years ago.
He is of medium height and slight figure
and wore the purple archiepiscopal cape
and cassock, which is piped all along the
edges with red and is trimmed in front with
small red buttons: a red scarf encircled his
waist and hung at the left side. The beretta
shone through an opening at the neck, un
der the white Boman collar. On the back
ot bis head was the red zacchetto. His thin
brown hair, brushed irom the left side, tell
in a placid wave across his forehead and
was pushed back from his ears. His (ace,
long and thin, has au ashen delicacy of hue.
OEEAT TEEE.
"While the Cardinal spoke he held in his
right hand the jeweled cross, which is about
three inches long and massive, with a large
ruby in the center. It hangs irom his neck
by a long, heavy gold chain, a loot or more
oi which falls below a sliding piece at the
back of his collar and hangs on the outside
of his cape. On the third finger of his right
hand is a ring set with a large ruby, sur
rounded by diamonds. This is the archie
piscopal signet ring.
Cardinal Gibbons has sent a copy of his
last book, "Oor Christian Heritage," to the
Pope. It is bound in white and gold, the
papal colors. A copy to Cardinal Simeoni
is bound in red, one to Cardinal Massella is
in maroon, and one to Monsignor Jacobini
is in blue.
A NEW EEAL REJIBKANDT

New York Sun.J
French artistic and picture-buying circles
are excited over the discovery a short time
ago of what is pronounced by the majority
of experts to be a genuine Bembrandt It
was in the possession of an old and infirm
woman living in Pecq. an obscure little vil
lage on the banks of the Seine some distance
from Paris. When she died the only heir
was an aged daughter, who had for a long
time been an inmate of an insane asylnm.
For her benefit the property left by the old
woman was got together, catalogued, and
sold at auction. A Paris expert made out
the catalogue of the pictures and put down
one of them as "Jesus and the Pilgrims of
Enimaus (School of Bembrandt)."
This picture attracted no attention, and
at the sale would have been knocked down
for a trifling sum had not a painter who
chanced to be present been struck with its
beauty. He attempted to get possession of
it, and pushed the bids up to 815, at which
price he dropped out and left the picture go
to a local carpenter, who was acting as the
agent of a Paris picture dealer, M. Bour
geois, who seems to have formed opinions
about the picture beforehand. The owner
has already refused 540.000 for it. The
picture bears the signature "Bembrandt, f.
1G3C."
There are, however, some artists who do
not accept the general verdict that it is
a real Bembrandt

Swindling Operations Thai Are Suc
cessful in Wall Street.
GAMES OP KAILEOAD MAGNATES.
How Gould Plucked TVilliam H. YanderMt
for Twenty Millions.
THE METHODS OP THE BUCKET SHOPS
rconnrsroxDENCE op the dispatch.!
New York, March 22. Fifteen million
dollars' worth ot stocks and bonds on an
average change hands daily in Wall street.
There have been days when the amount
reached 5125,000,000. The figures here given
are based on the actual market value of the
securities, and not on their par value. As
a rnle something like $150,000 a day, in
actual profit and loss ou the transactions,
goes out of the pockets of one set of specu
lators into the pockets of another set. There
are times when this sum may be multiplied
by ten and even by fi ty.
A great deal is heard of the plucking of in
nocents in the "street." Nowhere else are
swindling operations condncted on such an
extended scale. The rules of the Stock Ex
change governing the transaction of busi
ness are extremely rigid, and it is not often
that a brokerage concern connected with the
Exchange is caught in any downright ras
cality. Speculation is a game of chance al
most exclusively, and when an order is
given to a regular broker to "buy fora rise"
or to "sell for a drop." the risk'is well un
'derstood. The swindling is done by out
siders, or persons having no direct relations
with the Exchange. Wall street seems to
be a Mecca lor men with extensive schemes
of an illegitimate nature. It they were
petty in their extent they would be called
bunco games. As it is they are dignified
with the title sharp transactions.
A TELEPHONE GA1IE EXPOSED.
As said before, it is not often that a mem
ber of the Stock Exchange is caught in
crooked business, but there are instances
nevertheless. A broker who bad earned a
repntation as a "hustler," put the securities
of a telephone company on the market. He
said the instrument was superior to all
others in conveying conversation. A good
deal of attention was paid to the enterprise,
for the reason that it was believed a broker,
who had established a large and wealthy
clientage, and was apparently in a fair way
to become a millionaire himself, would not
take up any scheme that was not all right.
He did, though. The telephone was not
such a wonderiul affair as it was generally
supposed to be. A speaking tube would
have done just as good work. The broker
had an instrument through which prospec
tive investors could talk with Philadelphia.
The conversation was n3 clear as if the per
sons at either end of the line were within a
few feet of each other. The stock of the tele
phone company went off like the proverbial
hot cakes until one day it was discovered
that the person who was supposed to be
talking into the transmitter in Philadel
phia was, as a fact, located in the cellar
under the broker's office. The broker fled,
and is now out West somewhere herding
cattle.
A quiet-looking little man appeared in
Wall street one day, and confided to a firm
of brokers that he owned the entire shores
of an estuary of the Gulf of Mexico on the
Florida side. He had a map showing a
land-locked harbor, and also indicating
A PROPOSED P.AILROAD LINE
connecting with the important land trans
portation systems from the East, West and
North, the charter for which he said he
owned. It looked like a pretty good thing.
The man pointed out how cotton, grain,
timber and other products of the South and
West could be brought by rail to thp estuary
and taken thence in steamships and sailing
vessels to points along the coast and to
foreign ports. A capitalist who was im
pressed with the advantages of the scheme
and contemplated putting a large amount of
money in it, thought he would look over the
situation. He went to Florida and found
that the water in the estuary was two feet
deep and that the railroad line ran through
a morass. The inhabitants of the section
were exclusively alligators and turtles.
"Promotors" are encountered at every
turn, or, to be more exact, every step in
Wall street. It a capitalist wants to buy a
railroad he can he accommodated on the
spot. A railroad charter is au easy thing
to procure in a majority of the States. A
promotnr may be a friend of a representative
in the Legislature who will pnt through n
bill authorizing him to build a road between
any two points that it pleases his fancy or
snits bis advantage to select. The legisla
tor himself, seeing little or no hope of future
political preferment, may take it into his
haad to make hay while the sun shines, and
secure anywhere from one to half a dozen
charters fbr his own benefit. Charters of
this class are, of course, never obtained with
any idea of constructing the roads which
they provide for. They are merchandise to
be offered in Wall street. The lines pre
scribed, to use a common "street" expres
sion, extend from
NOWUEEE TO KOWHEBE.
Or, in other words, have for their termini
two unimportant points. These charters are
worth to the owners what they will bring, it
may be little or it may be much. To the
"smart" buyers they may be worth a good
deal. They afford opportunities for the
formation of stock companies. The stock is
unloaded on unsuspecting purchasers. To
avoid prosecution for fraud the organizers of
the companies count the valne of their char
ters at so much, pocket this amount from the
sales of stock, and leave the stockholders to
build the road from the remainder of the
proceeds if they want to, which, on inves
tigation, they usually do not.
Charters lor banks are a general com
modity in the street. The concerns are or
ganized in the same way as the bogus rail
roads. It may be said, as an inducement to
investors, that the bank was projected to
transact the business of the cattle trade of
some Western State. The location of the
bank would be found at some desolate mail
station far out on the prairie.
Gold and silver mine swindles are "too
numerous to mention." The appearance of
a "miner" in the street is a daily occur
rence. His broad-brimmed hat aud bluff
manners indicate that he is the genuine
article. He has a rich claim, bnt has no
capital to work it. Therefore he will sell a
half interest. He shows metal taken from
the claim. If an investigation is made gold
or silver, as the case may be, will be found
on the claim in large quantities. The claim,
it may be said without prolonging the story,
has been "salted" with ore from some other
place where it really exists.
PLENTY OP OIL WELLS.
Oil wells, too. can be bought in as large
numbers as maybe desirable in the "street."
Theyare.as a rule, "dry holes," or wells that
when sunk tailed to produce the expected
oil. The projector ran out of cash and wants
money to continue the drilling. Like the
miner, he will sell a half interest. The in
vestor can go ahead and drill if be wants to.
To prevent prosecution the projector sells an
interest in the land and not a guarantee to
produce oil.
A "great inter-oceanic waterway" was
put on the market not long ago. The pro
jector said it was a canal which
afforded transportation for the products of
Florida to the natural navigable waters.
By extension it could be made a highway
be'tween the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico. Possibly it could, bnt it would
take more than the suiplus in the Treasury
of the United States to do it. The "great
inter-oceanic highway" was one of those
shallow trenches dng through the bog on the
outskirts of the Dismal Swamp to float
cypress and pine trees.
To call Jay Gould a bunko steerer would
be to condemn the greater number of rail
road owners in the country. Yet his
methods, and those of others, which are
considered legitimate, partake of the natnre
THE PTTTSBUEGr I5ISFA.TCH,
of a confidence operation. Mr. Gould may
want some line that connects with one of his
roads. He will create a new issue of the
stock of his own road called common stock
to take up or purchase the stock of the con
necting line. The stock thus secured is put
in the treasury of his road "for the purpose
of control."
THE ORIGINAL STOCK
of his road is called "preferred" stock. The
earnings of both roads go into one treasury.
It they are only sufficient to pay dividends
on the preferred stock, the holders of the
common have to whistle for their expected
revenue.
Stock dividends form another and very
prevalent way of lining the pockets of the
owners of railroads.. Instead of a dividend
in cash, one in new or additional stock is
declared. If the market price of the stock
can be maintained by manipulation in Wall
street, and the extra stock sold, the owner
of it is so much ahead inasmuch as it has
cost him nothing. Xt is the custom in or
ganizing railroads to build the lines with
the proceeds from the sales of the bonds.
The stock is given away; that is, it is offered
as a bonus to the purchasers ot bonds. The
purpose is to induce capitalists to invest
their money. Projectors of a railroadoften
buy the bonds themselves and obtain the
stock for nothing. Subsequently the stock
is sold and the amount secured lor it is
pocketed as clear gain. The interest on the
bonds must be paid whether there is money
for dividends on the stock or not. If the in
terest on the bonds is not paid the mortgage
which they represent is foreclosed and the
stock is wiped out of existence. The road is
reorganized and new bonds are issued to
take the place of the ones with which goes
another bonus of stock to be disposed of as
before.
JAY GOULD BUNKOED.
Jay Gould was "bunkoed" once. Abroker
came to him with the information that a
certain railroad stock was to be advanced in
price. He told, with elaborate circumstan
tiality, how it was to be done. The man
agers of the road were to make a report
showing that it was earning far more than
had been supposed and were to increase the
amount of the dividends. Mr. Gould went
ahead and bought the stock in large quanti
ties. Suddenly the price dropoed like a
plummet and Mr. Gould found out that he
had been hoodwinked. The managers of the
road wanted to unload their stock and se
lected Mr. Gould as their victim, utilizing
the broker as a "bunko steerer."
Gould was very angry over the trick and
threatened to prosecute the broker for ob
taining money by false pretenses, but he
changed his mind. This is the only instance
when he was ever known to have been
caught by any such operation.
Mr. Gould himself "bunkoed" the late
William H. Vanderbilt ont of $20,000,000.
It is hardly fair to call it "bunkoing," but
the fact is Mr. Gould induced Mr. Vander
bilt to go into an operation which cost the
latter the amonnt named. Gould did not,
by any means, secure all the money that
Vanderbilt lost. The stock market had be
come very shaky and a general collapse was
threatened.
GOULD CONCOCTED A SCHEME.
Gould got up a scheme to avert the disas
ter by which Mr. Vanderbilt was to support
his stocks while he was to do the same with
his own. Mr. Gould's idea, as he presented
it. was that an exhibition of such tremen
dous power, would inspire the outside public
with confidence, and it would come into the
market and buy. As it turned out, the
public when it learned that the market
would fake stocks, rushed to sell its hold
ings. Mr. Gould either saw how things
were going, or knew beforehand how they
would go. and promptly unloaded on Van
derbilt. This was the time of the famous
"pegging" operation. Lake Shore was
"pegged" at 120, New York Central at 130,
and Northwest at 135. Vanderbilt awoke
to a realization of his situation when the
Gould and other stocks began tumbling all
around him, leaving him all alone with his
stocks far above the rest of the market. He
finally let go and his stocks dropped 40 to 50
points. He never had anything to do with
Mr. Gould after that. Vanderbilt told the
correspondent of The Dispatch abont a
call that Mr. Gould made at his house sub
sequently, at which the latter was "very
formally received."
Bobberies are never heard of in Wall
street nowadays, or at any rate only at ex
ceedingly rare intervals. The correspond
ent was passing through Wall street the
other day when he saw a weli-dressed man
step up to a pedestrian, touch him on the
shoulder and say "Get out of here."
OBEYED WITH ALACBITT.
"All right," replied the pedestrian, who
promptly hurried out of sight up Nassau
street. The pedestrian who would have at
tracted no attention in a crowd was a pro
fessional thief, and the well-dressed man a
detective. Inspector Byrnes keeps detec
tives in the "street" all the lime. They are
fine-looking men who we3r silk hats, cut
away coats, overcoats with silk facings, dia
mond rings and bosom studs, carry gold
watches, and smoke imported cigars. It is
necessary that they shonld look as well as
the brokers with whom they mingle. There
is a "danger line" for thieves. It crosses
Broadway at Fulton street, seven blocks
above Wall street, and the thief who ven
tures below it is liable to be arrested and
imprisoned as a "suspicious character."
Forgery is the principal thing that Wall
street has to guard against. The brokers
generally use special designs of check', and
so many precautions are taken at the banks
that a forgery is almost instantly detected.
Every bank has a detective in the lobby to
look out for sneak thieves and suspicious
individuals generally. The cashiers ara in
covered "cages," and even if there were no
detectives the thieves could not get at the
money.
BUCKET-SHOP METHODS.
The police have recently been raiding the
bucket shops in Wall street, and not with
out reason. There are two or three honest
bucket shop, hut the others are absolute
swindles. The average dealer in a bucket
shop puts up ?5 to go "long" or "short" of
five shares of stock. That sum repre
sents a margin of 1 per cent. An
"eighth each way" is charged by
the shop on the transaction. To be
more explicit, if the speculator buys stock
lor a rise he is charged J.of 1 per cent for
the purchase,and again of 1 per cent when
the stock is sold. Thus he has only of 1
per cent "margin" le:t This is called "play
ing on a thin margin," and the first few
quotations may wipe out the speculator's in
vestment. If the speculator loses, the bucket shop
gets the entire $5, for there has been no
actual purchase of stock. The transaction
amounts, simply, to a bet on the quotations.
The Stock Exchange tries to keep the bucket
shop from obtaining its quotations, and this
affords the shop an opportunity to surround
the source of their figures with mystery.
The shop has a telegraph instrument which
keeps clicking away, and the quotations
that come through it arc chalked on a black
board. The shop gets genuine quotations,
it is true, but it does not always post them.
It delays them and alters them in such a
manner as to wipe out the margins o.' cus
tomers. H. I. S.

FOKCES OF NATURE.
The Contraction of the Earth's Crust
Kaises Up Continents;
DE0PS OP WATER REDUCE THEM.
Statistics and Theories Eearding Earth
quakes and Volcanoes.
WORK THAT GOES ON WITH TEE AGES
fWEITTEN FOB THE DISPATCH!
The mysterious nature and cause of earth
quakes is getting to be better understood.
They have been active at every period of
history, elevating and depressing the earth's
surface. It is impossible that the earth's
interior is all a mass of fire, as was believed
by Humboldt. It could not be, on account
of tides which would be caused in the mol
ten mass of the interior. The earth's crust
would partake of the motion and crack into
great fissures. Vtry little smoke is now
coming out of a few volcanos, while if the
earth's interior were a mass of fire thousands
of volcanos would hardly carry off the smoke.
On the other hand there is still extant an
old belief that there is a passageway through
the earth from pole to pole, but as the poles
are impossible to reach it cannot be proven.
But it is proven that there are internal fires
from the violence of volcanos, and the gen
erally accompanying violence of the earth
quake. There are from 12 to 15 quakes
every year, and in fact the earth is never
entirely quiet or free from evidence of their
presence. Wide districts of grain and cat
tle, and great towns and villages with their
inhabitants have been destroyed. It is esti
mated that 13,000,000 of the human race have
been destroyed since history began; G0.000
were lost at Lisbon, and 40,000 in Calabria
in the last century.
CHANGES I1T THE EABTH'S SUBPACE.
In the beginning great changes on the
earth's surface were caused by these dis
turbances. New lakes and eventually river
courses were formed. The immense fissures
formed in the earth's crust were gradually
filled up by filtration; by great landslides
which brought down precipices and moun
tains and filled up yawning chasms, form
ing new water courses and long valleys.
Earthquakes are most frequent along the
line of volcanos, showing some connection
with the violence of the volcanos. Every
earthquake is followed, preceded or accom
panied by volcanic outburst. Violent
quakes are often stopped by volcanic ex
plosions, while violent commotion in vol
canoes has caused earthquakes at vast dis
tancs. The earthquake is usually accom
panied by violent tremors, rattlings, roar
ings, hissings like steam escaping and other
subterranean noises, bouietinies the noise
is not accompanied by any motion, and
sometimes the motion occurs without any
noise. At the central point of the dis
turbance the shock comes Irom below, a ver
tical shock.
The Lisbon wave lasted only an insiant
anywhere, but it extended from Finland to
Canada and the West Indies, over an area
of 7,500,000 square miles. Taking the crust
to he 20 miles thick, it took a tremendous
force to shake 150,000,000 cubic miles of
earth and water.
SOME OP THE THEOBIES.
The explosions in the interior must be
from some fearful power. A Western
geologist recently said that a sudden letting
down of the sea bottom and the precipitation
of great volumes of sea water into fierce
electric or other intense fires, caused the in
stant formation of a gas which either caused
other explosions or escaped upward through
the crevices, and deposited carbon oil near
the sur ace, and then became natural gas.
Something similar to that was the opinion
of Sir Humphrey Davy, who believed that
earthquakes were formed by chemical ac
tion of metals in an unoxydized state, acted
upon by water coming into contact with
them, causing vast quantities of gases to be
set free to which the great explosions were
due. It is an opinion of others that the
whole interior of the earth is a honeycomb
of molten rocks and their metal bases.
Great fissures 60 and 90 miles long and 18
inches wide, with remarkable circular holes
have appeared in different places, after the
passage of an earthquake, showing a severe
grind or a small upheaval. When a great
disturbance occurs under the ocean near
shore, the water recedes for a distance and
then comes back as a wall 60 feet high, and
rushes inland a long distance, carrying
everything moveable along with it. Alter
the earthquake of 1S32 the coast of Chili,
for a long distance, wjs found to have risen
from three to four feet, while in the earth
quake oi 1762 an area of 60 square miles on
the coast ot Chittagocg suddenly disap
peared nnder the water, leaving only the
higher plains visible. The wonderful island
mentioned by many ancient authors, and by
Plato called Atlantis, situated, as he
claimed, opposite the Pillars of Hercules,
has disappeared with all of its wonders and
beauties beneath the blue waters of the
Atlantic.
TEMPLE OP JUPITER SEBAPI3.
The ruins of the beautiful Temnle of
Jupiter Serapis, near Naples, attest the re
markable changes which are taking place in
that volcanic country. Three of the original
46 columns remain. The pavement is still
under water, but the three pillars stand up
out of it. They are 42 feet high, but they
show that submarine organisms have bored
into them as high as 21 feet, to which depth
they must have been buried in the water at
one time. The chauges have been so grad
ual that they have retained their perpen
dicular. Scania, on the southerlv coast of Sweden,
is being swallowed slowly. Street by street
and 600 miles of the west coast of Grecnfand
is siuking gradually. Within the past 20
years an island in the Greek Archipelago
sank gradually under water without any
sound, while another a short distance from
it raised its head above water and then sub
sided out of sight. The coast of Siberia for
600 miles east of the Lena river, the western
coast of South America and the Scandi
navian peninsnla have all been recently up
heaved. The coast line on both sides of
Scotland has been raised from 25 to 160 feet.
The western part of Connecticut shows
plainly by "raised beaches," the former up
heaval of that country. By these raised
beaches it can be shown that the most of the
land now visible was at one time under
water. High up on the Himalaya Mount
ains undoubted marine shells occur in the
solid rocks.
OUT OF THE VASTY DEEP.
In this wav it is proven by the multitude
of places throughout the earth where sub
marine organisms are certain evidence, that
at some remote time, probably very
gradually, possibly by sudden, violent,
mighty throes of earthquake and convul
sions of the ocean, the great hills and
mountains have been raised with their
marine evidences out of the "vasty deep."
But when they raised up some other vast
region subsided. Submerged forests can
olten be distinguished jar beneath the
water ot a calm sea and occasionally in the
Grecian Archipelago. The watcher oyer
the side of the vessel can see far down in the
clear water delicately shaped buildings,
whose beauty is heightened by the romance
of their mystery. And the old mythical
idea of the mermaids and sea nymphs and
their coral dwellings beneath the sea comes
to the observer like a delicious dream.
It is supposed that the deep fiords of
Norway, and the firths and locks of Great
Britain were at one time deep land valleys
or glens, which have been depressed by
gradual or violent agency into deep sea
water ways. The Coral islands of the
Pacific are widespread. Many of them are
perpendicular tor 2,000 feet. Darwin says
that ther coral builders do not work below
100 feet, and consequently these islands
must be steadily sinking while the coral
workers are building. The upward growth
keeping pace with the slow, subsidence of
the island.
BUILDING UP SINKING ISLANDS.
Coral reefs run around an island and pro
tect it against the waves. The latter break
off great pieces of the coral nnd throw them
inward, thus helping to build up the sink
ing island. All rocks found In the Pacific
islands have been of volcanic origin, and it
appears as though a vast number of peaks
of volcanoes of about the same height have
gradually disappeared within geologically
recent periods, nnd are all kept connected
with the surface through the coral build
ers. The formation of great mountain chains
has shaken up whole continents, and the
grinding and crushing subsidence and up
heaval has also evidently caused great com
motion on land and fearful tides of the
oceans, which would sweep far inland, or
possibly over half a continent. New con
tinents havearisen,groaning and quivering
out of their bed on the bottom oi the sea,
while an old continent went down miles out
of sight with a mighty rushing and roaring
of the waters, which made the whole world
rock, for these movements are not entirely
surface operations, but they originate cer
tainly at a great distance down beyond the
center of this tenanted sphere.
There is notning to determine the magni
tude ot these grand throes of the world,
but a whole mountain must have been up
heaved atonce or in the same continuous
movement, or subsided in like manner. In
their upheaval they left vast depressions be
tween them which contained great bodies of
water. Such was
THE SHENANDOAH VALLET
and its ramifications. The great lake broke
through the mountains at some remote
period, either by earthquake or weakness oi
the mountain walls, and formed the Poto
mac and Shenandoah rivers. The valleys
of the Monongahcla, Allegheny and Ohio
rivers were at one time vast cracks in the
crust chasms which have been filled up to
their present grade by the influence of the
water.
According to all theories of coal formation
the many veins of coal found from New
York to Alabama go to show that there
must have been great upheavals and sub
sidences connected with large bodies of
watr throughout all of those coal beds and
throughout the vast region irom the Blue
Bidge to the Rocky Mountains.
Water is the agent which is constantly
changing the face of the earth. Each drop
of rain has its duty to perform in changing
the face of natnre. It falls on a rock, and,
freezing, bursts away a small particle a
grain ot sand perhaps and that grain and
other grains are blown by Boreas or Zeph
yrus against the stones and wear them away
by Iriction. Drops of water in snowflakes
make the mighty glaciers, great, slowly
moving rivers of ice, which, like the mills
of the gods, "grind slowly but they grind
exceeding fine." They pulverize into sand
great beds of granite, and erode the rocky
ribs of mighty mountains, all the time
sending from underneath them great rivers
of ice water.
So these little drops of water are constant
ly at work to move the monntains and hills
down into the valleys, thus assisting the vast
upheavals and subsidences in changing the
face of the earth. There is no earthly sub
stance that is not at least partially soluble
in water, and the presence of water in rocks
means their slow destrnction. "An English
ssientist estimates that there may be every
year dissolved by rain 150 tons of rocky
matter to one square mile of surface."
BECEDING OP NIAGABA FALLS.?
It is supposed that the great Niagara
chasm has been 35,000 years receding Irom
Queenstown to the present falls. The
greatest ravine in the world, the Colorado
canon, flows 300 miles through horizontal
strata at a depth, perpendicular at many
places, of 6,000 feet. Nothing but birds
can cros3 the country on account of these
vast ravines which have been caused by the
natural erosion of the rapid streams or by
the mighty earthquake.
The history of the growth of a continent
comes down through vast cycles of time, or
through the "ages of the ages." Basing
conclusion upon fact, it is certain that the
wrinkling or corrugation of the earth's
crust has been caused by the shrinking of
the interior by great diminution of heat
and consequent contraction, causing great
earthquakes, and upheaval and subsidence
over vast spaces of the globe during long
periods of time. Mountains have not only
been formed and great valleys made, but
tremendunus bodies of rock, strange to the
locality, have been shoved horizontally over
regions hundreds of miles square. Bocks
are constantly making and unmaking.
Bain, liost, glaciers, rapid rivers and ero
sion are destroying rocks, while great rivers
are pouring the detritus into the sea, where
it is gradually being reformed into new
rocks composed almost entirely of the old
ones.
It is estimated that it wonld take 4,500,000
years to reduce this continent to the sea
level. That is a vast space of time, but the
elevation of the Cordilleras, the Andes, the
Himalayas, the Alps or the Bocky Moun
tains, and the formation of the vast beds of
sand and limestone could not have been ac
complished in much less time. As the sea
recedes, great plains are pushed above water,
composed of these vast bodies of sand which
have been washed down by the rivers. Par
ticles may stop awhile on the way down,
but the sea is their inevitable fate as surely
as that the soul of man washes into the sea
of eternity. Bumbalo.
ALL BETS DtCLAKED OFF.
Wrestling. MnicU Between n Man nnd Doff
Thnt Ended In tbo Water.
Boston Globe.
There is no more harm in"Sfcysail Jack,"
a noted North End character, than there is
in a fiery, untamed Western mule.
So thought a Newfoundland dog who
playfully frisked about the said Jack;, until
the later caught bim by the neck and tail
and attempted to throw him off Long wharf.
This not being to the liking of ihe "pup,"
he turned, and in a wrestling match, where
Judic rules prevailed, "Skysail" slipped,
and dog and man broke the thin ice in the
dock at the same moment
"No fall," said a waggish-looking chap,
who had assumed the responsibility of
referee.
Then the betting began on the bridge
as to which would get out of the water first,
and it was $2 to 1 on the man, as he had
struck out lor the nearest fishing schooner.
Unfortunately tor the sports who had
given odds, the dog sighted his recent con
testant, and, thinking that the affair had
turned into a swimming match, started,
wed-footed, after the man, who was fast
nearing the vessel.
All might have gone well had not one of
the crew attempted to catch the collar of
Skysail's coat with a boathook.
The swimmer stopped and sputtered words
which sounded likea-r-o-p-e, but the man on
the vessel, not understanding him, thrust
the boathook into the back ot his coat just
as the dog grabbed him by the coat collar.
The gang on the dock roared, "Hold him,
Groverl" and hold him he did, tor it re
quired the assistance of many men to land
Jack and Grover on the deck'of the vessel.
All bets were declared off.
IRRIGATION IX AUSTRALIA.
Centrifugal Purnpj That Throw 450 Tods
or Water In n Minute.
H. J. Barrows, of California, is connected
with the great irrigation enterprises in
South Australia and Victoria. His com
pany has just received 250,000 acres from
each province in return lor irrigating each
colony. In the Grand Pacific last evening,
says the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Barrows
told some facts about irrigation in the anti
podes. "The water used in our industry," he re
marked, "is taken from the Murray river
and forced up by great centrilugal pumps
Irom 15 to 20 teet. The surrounding coun
try is a vast plaiu and would be absolutely
worthless without water.
"Our pumps now erected will irrigate
40,000 acres. The largest set of four centrif
ugal pumps throws out 450 tons of water a
minute. We have sold 15,000 acres of land
to colonists. The English farmers are jnst
beginning to come over in large numbers.
They usually buy a few acres. The lands
are adapted to raising lemons, oranges,
raisin grapes and like fruits. We have our
summer while the Califormans have winter,
so our product does not interfere with the
Pacific slope market,''

I am something mysterious: I bother the brain.
And am quite out of character when I am

Though your mind I may torture and keep yon

You often seem pleased with the bother I

In various gnlses my shape may appear;
Numerous my forms and extended my sphere.
If you ask what's unknown. In earth, air or sky,
I tell you the truth when I say it Is I.
The scientist sees me in searching for facts
When he wishes to show how Same Nature

I am fonnd in the books that wisest men write.
In the Bible you find me in very plain sight.
I am dark and opaqne to the eye of the mind;
I keep out of sight what you must wish to find;
But shonld yon succeed in making me clear,
Like a vanishing ghost I would then disappear,
Bnt why shonld I try in a mystical way
My features to show and my form to disclayf
For I'm now in your thoughts and so plain to

That of guessing 'twould seem there's nothing

Right masterful is he.
On either band they do his will.
And all the things that be

And this is heaven's decree.

And you will plainly seo
Tboy bring at once a feat in sight
That will the answer be.
