IWBITTES FOETHI DISrATCH.1
One beautilul spring day many years aco
two children. Harry and Aeta, wandered
through the forest surrounding their father's
castle. The winter's snows had but lately
disappeared, and the young crass was
springing ud fresh and creen. The birds
had returned, making the woods ring with
their greeting to spring. A few violets and
snowdrops more braTe than the others had
peeped out Irom their winter home in the
earth, and were so happy in the warm, soft
air, that tbey were now urging their timid
sisters to join them.
The next day would be Easter Sabbath,
and great preparations were being made in
the castle and in the village for the reception
ot the Bishop, who was to be preent at the
next day's services. The children had
slipped away unnoticed from their play
room and, allured by the bright sunshine
and singing birds, wandered deeper and
deeper into the forest. A trumpet sounded
and the beating of drnms was heard. Meta
listened a moment, and then cried: "The
Bishop has arrived. Come, let us rnn to see
him."
"In a moment, Jleta," answered Harrv.
"But see that beautiful butterfly. It is the
first of the season; and it stood still so long
THE BUTTEEFLT S
that I can easily catch it. Do not wait for
me; I shall follow you soon."
Meta ran away, and Harry, stealing be
hind the butterfly, threw hi's cap over it,
and ran forward to secure his prize. But
the flutterfly fluttered further. Harry re
peated the attempt again and again; but in
vain. The butterfly always kept justbe
yond his reach. In the middle of the forest
stood ti hundred-year old oak. Toward
this the bntterfly flew, and slippi"" into a
small knot holedisappeared from .ht.
"Jfow you are caught, my little friend,"
cried Harrv; "I shall soon have you."
But the hole was so small that he could
not put his hand in it; and after thinking a
moment he decided to hang his cap over the
hole, and thus make the butterfly his pris
oner. Being warm and tired from his long
chase, he sat down under the tree and leaned
against its trunk. Gradually he became
unconscious, his eyelids began to droop,
and while the birds sang a lullaby, he fell
fast asleep. The sun sank below the hills,
throwing a veil of darkness over the forest;
but the silvery moonbeams soon penetrated
through the leafy branches and fell on the
face oi the sleeping boy. Then the cap fell
softly from the tree, and the butterfly came
lorth. But how changed in form it was.
The transparent wings, with their golden
border, which little Harry had so much ad
mired, had become a glittering veil, and
was thrown over the shoulder of a beautiful
little girl, who, smiling, bent oyer the little
sleeper, and in a silvery tone cried:
"Caught, my little friend, caught How
delighted onr Queen will be with this work
of her laithtul subject."
At a signal from her tiny silver trumpet
hundreds of little elvei, beautiful as her
self, came floating on the moonbeams
through the forest, and alter them in her
chariot of pearl drawn by butterflies, came
the fairy queen, having on her head a jew
eled diad .m. The tairy who as a butterfly
had allured the boy, now approached the
chariot, and bowing low, said:
"Dear Qneen, your commands have been
obeyed, and your summer palace is now
ready. I have also secured a treasure for
you, and one for which you have often
sighed," and pointing to the sleeping boy
she cried: "See, now we shall have a king."
The Queen having rewarded her servant
with warm words ot praise said: "Now we
must carrv our treasure to a safe place."
Hundreds of little hands lifted the still
sleeping Harry and placed him in the
Queen's chariot. The butterflies fluttered
their wing, and softly and silently the
chariot and the entire company sank into
the bosom of the earth, and no one but the
moon looked on.
The joyous Easter, wih its flower and
song, was a day of sorrow and mourning in
the castle. Little Harry, the pride and pet
of the household, was lo'st; and although the
forest had been searched throughout by
willing seekers, no trace of the missing bov
was found. The months passed by, and
still the heart-broken parents grieved for
their only son; and little Meta still mourned
for her lost brother and playmate. Easter
was again approaching, and sad and lonely
Meta wandered through the forest seeking
the sweet spring flowers and thinking of her
brother. Stopping to rest under the great
oak tree she tell asleep and dreamed that
Harry was with her.
"Oh, Harry, is it really you," she cried;
"and do you still live?"
"I indeed live," replied her brother; "but
I can never come to you again. My home is
tinder the earth with the fairy queen, who
carried me to ber kingdom that spring even
ing when I followed the butterfly, and on
Easter eve they will crown me king of the
fairies."
"Dear brother," cried Meta in distress,
"is there no way to rescue you?"
"Do not grieve for me," said Harry; "it
is very beautiful in the fairy kingdom, and
if it were not for my great love for you and
j dear parents I could be very happy.
There is but one way to save me, and that is
much too difficult"
"Tell me." cried Meta; "I shall willingly
endure all suffering for you."
"On Easter eve," said Harry, "when the
gun has ret and the moon is shedding ber
light through the forest, we shall come forth
from our home under the earth and wander
among the trees and flowers. I shall ride
on small white borse near the Queen's
chariot, and as we pass here, if you will
without speaking, lift me from the horse,
and in spite of all the changes that the
anger of the Queen shall produce, silently

hold me, then I shall be free. But if a sin
gle cry of fright or pain escapes your lips,
then your effort shall have been in vain, and
I shall be the fairy king."
Harry vanished as quietly as he had come,
and Meta awoke, resolved to save her brother
and restore him to her parents. The ap
pointed time came, and stealing from the
castle, she went to the oak, and with a beat
ing heart waited in its dark shadows for
the appearance of the fairy train. She
could scarcely suppress a cry of surprise as
the fairy queen and her subjects came
through the forest. Near the chariot of
pearl on a white horse rode Harry. Quickly
and silently she went to him, and drawing
him from the horse held him in her arms.
The little elves raised a shout of astonish
ment and wonder; but in spite of all their
questionings and threats Meta never spoke.
Even when her brother became a hideous
serpent in her?.rms,from whose month poured
streams of flame and smoke, she was still
silent and continued to hold him in her lov
ing embrace. Finally, the Queen, in a sad
voice, called:
"Goodbye my little Harry, my fairy king;
your sister's love is stronger than my power;
sue has conquered.
The Queen and her train then disappeared,
and Harry and Meta then returned to their
home. That Easter day was celebrated in
J the castle with greater rejoicing than ever

before, and the Easter songs were sung with
happy hearts. Paysie.
TAB IGHT BEATITUDES.
Dr. Crosby' Idea of How the Man of sh
World Would' Write Tbem.
One of the brightest of American divines
is the Key. Dr. Howard Crosby, of New
York, who has just expressed himself anent
the beatitudes. "There are eight beati
tudes," he says, "at the beginning of the
Sermon on the Mount. ,1 think they are
placed at the fore front as a sort of vignette
or frontispiece, portraits of the complete
man. As we read them over our first
thought is, 'How utterly unlike the descrip
tion of the complete man that the world gen
erally would give!' If we asked the aver
age man to write eight beatitudes, they
would run somewhat this way:
" "Blessed are the rich, for thev can buv
everything they please. Blessed are the
jolly ones, for they have a .good time.
Blessed are the powerful, for they have their
own way. Blessed are the smart fellows,
for they come it over the greenhorns.
Blessed are the unfeeling, for they have no
sentimental qualms. Blessed are the liberal-minded,
lor they can enjoy little sins.
Blessed are the strong, lor they can knock
down opposition. Blessed are they that get
the world's praise, lor they have an easy
life.' 3
"I think that the great majority of men
would sign these beatitudes, and then show
their sincerity by doing their best to occupy
the position of these blessed ones."

preserve some of the good old crudity of
taste, men and boys still use the root and
carry it around in their pockets. But a
city drug store doesn't sell a pound a year,
unless some fellow comes along the day

THE KIAGABA OF SOUTH AMERICA
tCOEHSSFOKDEKCI OF THE DISPATCH.!
Bogota, Colombia, March 3. Before
bidding adios to this "sister republic,"
whose laws and Constitution are supposed
to have been directly modeled after those of
the United States of the North, we should
take a brief survey of its political charac
teristics. One still frequently hears the
country spoken of as the United States of
Colombia, although a bloody war was lately
fought to do away with that title, and its
various divisions are as often called states
or provinces as by their proper name of de
partments. "We need not go into the details
of history. Everybody knows the story of
the long and bitter struggle which in 1810
Colombia and her sister provinces, includ
ing Mexico, began forfreedom from Spanish
rule.
Colombia's Washington, General Simon
Bolivar, was inaugurated first president of
the new-born republic, and probably all
would have gone well enough had it not
been for the dissensions that arose from
petty jealousies and personal ambitions.
The first constitution survived only 11 years,
when the central provinces of the Union
broke away and in 1831 united themselves
with another republic called New Grenada.
Bolivar's brain, like that of his antetype,
Alexander, and his cotemporary, JNapo
leon, teemed with political schemes and his
great bobby was the union of New Grenada,
Venezuela and Ecuador into one extensive
and powerful state. The idea found fwor
and was ratified by the first congress, which
convened at Angostura in December, 1619.
The nation thus constituted occupied the
whole northern portion of the continent
from one ocean to the other, possessing the
advantage of thousands of miles of seaboard.
THE CRYSTALLIZING PROCESS.
Then followed half a century of perpetual
dissensions, intestine warlare and the sub
version and reconstruction of constitution
after constitntion, in which Colombia, in
common with the other divisions of South
Americ . took part With every change of
govenn.ent the political geography ot the
country was altered, provinces, departments,
states, each new variation of division hav
ing more or less autonomy of its own, inde
pendent of their respective central govern
ments. The last revolution, that of 1885. left a
government which seems to be more firmly
established than any that has preceded it.
After its suppression a council of delegates
met in Bogota in the summer of 1886 and
sanctioned a revised constitution whereby
the United States of Colombia were de
prived of their individual autonomy, the
name of the country was restored to that it
bore nearly a century before, viz., the Re
public of Colombia, the first article of the
new constitution distinctly stating that
"Sovereignty rests solely and exclusively
with the nations as a whole, not with indi
vidual states." It recreated departments
instead of states, the same as in 1831, to be
ruled by a central government located in
Bocota.
The departments are subdivided into
provinces, and these again into municipal
districts, the lormer ruled by governors and
the latter by alcaldes. There are nine de
partments, whose names are as follows:
Magdalena, Bolivar, Panama, Antioquia,
Cauca, Tolima, Bojaca, Santander and
Cundinamaria, beside the federal district cf
Santa Fe de Bogota, which contains the
capital.
ROOM FOE THE EXPLORER.
The superficial area of this big Republic
is about 504,773 square miles. Its southern
boundary is one of the most definite land
marks of the earth, being nothing less than
the equator. Its total population is esti
mated at 2,955,255, including more than
200,000 aboriginal Indians, who dwell in
the forests of the interior, and of whose
characteristics even the Colombians know
little beyond the fact that they are peaceably
disposed toward thn civilized communities
if they are not interiered with. To show
how little is known of some parts of the
country, it may be mentioned that the
Colombian Government has recently offered
a reward of 200 to anyone who may suc
ceed in making his way to the coast from
the Itiver Magdalena, over the Sierra de
Santa Rosa.
Congress meets in Bogota on the first day
of the New Year, both the Senate and
Ciamber of Deputies using the same room,
a spacious apartment with galleries on three
sides. The various departments are admin
istered by departmental assemblies, which
meet once in two years, and each district or
province has its own municipal council.
Judicially the Republic is divided into dis
tricts, each possessing its superior tribunal
and district judge. Besides the civil, crim
inal and district courts, commercial courts
are also held.
The President's term of office is six years.
He is assisted by a Vice President, seven
Ministers and a Council of State. The
present executive, Dr. Rafael Nunez, is en
joying his third term of office, and has nearly
three years yet to serve.
NO RELIGIOUS RESTRICTIONS.
Though Roman Catholicism prevails,
there is no state religion, natives and for
eigners being guaranteed freedom of con
science and worship. So far as the text of
the law goes, foreigners enjoy equal rights
with the Colombians; bntit would be hardly
advisable to test the question in a native
court of justice. Imprisonment for debt
has been done away with and trial by jury
in criminal cases is coming into vogue. The
only monopoly in the country is that of salt,
which is still in the hands of the central
government; and in some departments that
of the rum distilleries, which is adminis
tered for the benefit of their own municipal
revenues. There is a large public debt owing
to foreigners, three-fourths of which is due
to British creditors, who hold as security a
mortgage on the Republic's chief source of
revenue that derived from the customs.
A system intended to plce the commer
cial and public credit ol the country on a
more substantial bisis has been introduced
and already largely developed. la the year.
1871, what is known as a bill and discount
company was established in Bogota, and
has succeeded in commanding public confi
dence, although there is nothing that varies
so much as the money market The princi
pal. national coin current is the hall-dollar;
but that being away below par, is
not thought of at all in the conduct ot com
mercial transactions abroad, and is pretty
nearly valueless even in Central America,
where drafts are sometimes sought by busi
ness men on the Isthmus. For the purpose
of such drafts the silver dollars of Peru and
Chili, the former called soles, the latter
pesos, are preferred, and are quoted at from
1 to 10 per cent above the money of Colom
bia. AMERICAN GOLD BANKS HIGH.
The demand ior these foreign dollars,
however, ceases when the price of local
drafts is such as to induce purchasers to buy.
tnem at home, wnere ine com ot tne united
States, brought here for Panama railroad
purposes, is generally plentitul, and is
eagerly bought up twice everymonth by
mechanics and others, principally to send
away to their friends and relatives at home.
When the foreign' dollar was introduced
thU gold was sold at par: butdomestio
want added to the bi-monthly calls above
alluded to, has sent the American tb'oney a
long way up lu the market Therefore the
very best sort of funds one can possibly
bring to South America is United States
gold, the premium on which it always con
siderable. '
The Colombian Government has lately
been occupying itself with the educational
problem. The new organization of national
schools, modeled on the German method,
took effect in the year 1870. and already
there are in the Republic as many as 1.8U0
educational institntious that are supported
from" the public treasury, with an average of
75,000 pupils. There is also a national
escuala normal for the especial instruction
of teachers in the capital of every depart
ment. Those trained for the work in these
normal schools are appointed to teach the
common branches in the national public
schools. There are many seminaries and
colleges of higher grade, besides private
schools -lor girls, where needlework and
household economy very properly receive
more attention than the higher mathematics,
mechanics, etc.
ANYBODY CAN BE A DOCTOR.
The practice of all trades and professions,
including those of law, medicine and the
apothecary, is absolutely unrestrirted, so
that one need not. even possess a license or
diploma. Rather too much liberty, one
would say, in thus placing human bones and
bodies at the mercy of any quack who
chooses to call himself a doctor.
In 1864 the Government began the con
struction of a telegraphic system, and al
ready more than 2,000 meters have been
completed, connecting the important centers
of Northern Colombia, including the Pacific
port of Buenaventuri. At the latter town
the telegraphic system will be united with
that of the submarine cable which runs
along the coast of Chill and Peru,and is in
tended to form a junction with the European
and Atlantic cables at Panama.
As mistress of the connecting hyphen be
tween the two continents, Colombia must
some day become a very important country;
although so far. it has progressed at a
snail's pace. Its resources are incalculable,
both in extent and variety. Its numerous
rivers render the agricultural and manu
facturing possibilities exceptional, while in
metallic wealth it shows the same richness
that characterizes the mountainous sections
of the rest of South America. Calculated
on the baiis of 1880, the world produces
$100,000,000 worth of gold, and $75,000,000
worth ot silver, annually. To this total
Spanish America annually contributes
$5,000,000 of gold and $25,000,000 of silver.
According to Mulhall, the total amountof
gold which Spanish America has already
put into circulation amounts to 2,220 tons,
or the enormous sum of $1,550,000,000. Most
of the old mines are still yielding as well as
they did centuries ago, while new ones are
being constantly discovered. Mulhall places
the United States next on the list, with a
product of $1,430,000,000; and Australia
third, with 1,290,000,000.
MINERAL AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
The principal minerals yet discovered are
gold, silver, platinum, mercury, lead, cin
nabar, rock-salt, coal and nitre. The region
about the Cordilleras has as yet been but lit
tle explored, therefore no accurate estimate
of the mining possibilities can be made.
There is a wonderfnl emerald mine not far
from Bogota.
Among other productions of the country
may be mentioned india rubber, Peruvian
bark, coffee, cacao, cotton, sugar cane, rice,
indigo, corn, potatoes, wheat, fruits of the
tropical and temperate zones, and some of
the finest tobacco in the world, that from
which the famous Ambalema cigars are
made. The forests, that lor the most part
cover the surface ot the country, abound in
magnificent woods of all descriptions; and
an endless variety or medicinal barks, saps,
roots, herbs, leaves, flowers and fruits are
also found. Many of these are known to
science, but are exceedingly rare, while oth
ers equally potent, and some of them far
superior to anything yet employed in ma
teria medica, are used by the Indian medi
cine men. For example, what all the re
sources of science have failed to compass,
has been accomplished as a matter of course
by the Colombian Indians in the cure of
hydrophobia, and the bite of the most dead
ly serpents. The forests, which are for the
most part totally unexplored by white men,
are alive with a vast and varied population
of beasts, birds, reptiles and insects.
ALL POSSIBLE CLIMATES.
The alternation of valleys and heights
that rise above the line of perpetual snow,
gives a great diversity of climate, from the
cold'of the polar regions to the sweltering
heats of Senegal; while the table lands and
hill slopes preserve the mild weather of the
temperate zone, scarcely varying five de
grees from year to year. It is only in the
river valleys of the interior, which are for
the most part covered with swamps or tropi
cal forests, that intense heats and conse
quent disease prevail.
The great sanitarium of the Caribbean
coast is Turbaco, built upon a commanding
eminence about six kilometers from Car
thagena, at an elevation of only 1,200 feet,
at the edge of a magnificent forest The
emigrant coming to Colombia will find it
best to settle somewhere in the neighbor
hood of Cartbagena, as that section seems to
offer most advantages.
A description of Colombia without men
tion of the wonderful Falls of Tequendama.
would seem like the frequently, quoted ex
periment which nobody ever tried, of at
tempting to play "Hamlet" with the Prince
of Denmark left out Nearing the falls,
the country becomes indescribably lovely.
A huge amphitheater of mighty rocks cov
ered with dense vegetation surrounds a mag
nificent cascade, whose height is variously
stated at from 600 to 1,000 feet The whole
body of the Bogota river, forcing itself
through a narrow fissure in the heights
above, comes tumbling down with a deafen
ing roar, until, in mist and vapor, it dives
into a pool more than 100 feet deep, and
then quietly flows away through the valley
below. Birds are flying in and out of the
spray, where it is said that caves exist in
which great numbers ol goat suckers
make their nests.
LEGEND OP TEQUENDAMA FALLS.
The Indians have a legend to the effect
that the Great Spirit tore open the moun
tains and made this fall in order to drain
for their use the fertile plains above.
Geologists argue that the great Sabana
of Bogota with its encircling hills, must
at one time have been the basin of a fresh
water lake, which was maintained, in
spite of the rapid evaporation of the alti
tude and the overflow toward the east, by
the Rio de Bogota with its numerous
branches rushing impetuously into it But
the lake cannot have been very deep, as the
natural dam that confined its waters on the
southern edge at the junction of the Bogota
and Muno rivers, is no more than 130 feet
above the presen t lowest water level. Finally
the pent-up waters overflowed this dam and
began the formation ot the Tequendama
cascade through a deep gorge of the Cordil
lera. In course of timf, probably on the
occasion of one of those great earthquakes
that have so frequently rent the Andes, the
dam was entirely swept away and the lake
drained. The contrast presented by the soil
and vegetation at various parts of this most
celebrated cataract of South America, is
highly interesting. Fannie B. Ward.
PUN1SU2IEXTS IN THE NATT.
Too Much Law and Not Enough Justice at
Times.
North American Review. 1
There may be sometimes too much law
and not enough justice. It is not the
severity, but the certainty, of punishment
that deters men from committing offenses.
Except for crimes,the punishments on board
shiD should approximate in a manner to
those used in private famlies. As much
can be obtained from a child by setting it
upon a chair and letting it cry itself out as
by bruising its flesh; and in military courts
the officers would do themselves more honor
by leaning toward humanity than by en
forcing the most rigorous punishments and
gaining the name ot martinets. Errors in
the proceedings of naval general courts
martial are possible, and there is stringency
In them whioh perhaps" might be abated;
but the revising power hat authority to
modliy sentences, tnd. as the matter comes
before the Judge Advocate General and the
Secretary of the Navy, it is to be supposed
that these gentlemen will view all cases
without prejudice. Should there be too
much rigor in the sentence of a sailor, it is
not the fault of the naval officer if it ii
carried into execution.
A LOST CONTINENT.

WONDERFUL C0LUMXS AND STATUES
fWBlTIEN FOB TD DISPATCH, "l
Two sages, Plato, of Athens, and Don
neily.of Minneapolis, have made Atlantis a
household word. Even children can plot its
metes and bounds where now the restless
ocean rolls and takes its name from the con
tinent it has drowned. Their elders speak
of the lost civilization whose ruins now lie
upon the sea bed thickly crusted with dull
crystals of salt and the strange growths of
the dark depths. In the lost Atlantis which
Plato taught and which his latest follower
has restored instinct with life, they find
solution for every mystery that stares upon
them from four continents, Europe, Africa
and the two Americas.
But who can off-hand draw the lines of
Lemuria? It is just as much a continent as
the famed Atlantis, but who knows its
former place upon the globe? It is too
sunken beneath the all-devouring "waves of
ocean, but its spires yet tower here and
there by hundreds above the sea to show
where it once was. But who can lay his
fingers on the instructive ball and turn
its proper part to view and say that here
Lemuria lay ages ago when Atlantis
raised its shores from other waves. The two
lost continents are theories of the sage,
dim figments of ancient tradition handed
down from the fathers none know how.
One rests upon a base as solid as the other,
but there the likeness ends. Atlantis is a
name familiar on the lips of all; Lemuria
rarely strikes the eye save of some book
worm grubbing in dusty folios of recondite
story.
THE BOTTOM OP THE PACIFIC.
Lemuria is the drowned continent of the
Pacific as Atlantis is of the other sea. The
map may be made to show its former lines.
Between the two tropics and stretching west
ward from the one hundred and twentieth
west meridian the chart will show the Pacific
dotted with islands, small at first, but grow
ing larger toward the west until the several
chains sweep together in a compact archi
pelago crowding through the narrow Malay
seas and spreading out upon the Indian
Ocean in scattered groups again. Around
these islands draw a bounding line, and
there Lemuria is marked to sight, and con
troversialists will battle long upon every
group included as is their wont to fight their
hardest battles over points that solved one
way or the other can have no possible bear
ing on anything at all. Thus, this poor,
forgotten continent has been fished up Irom
the depths only to be sunk again under the
load ot theories laid upon it to account for a
myriad vexing facts which puzzle students
of the island world.
These are some culled at random from a
long list of others. With peoples of differ
ent race and speech widely separated by
leagues of barren sea, why should some half
a hundred words be the same, and those
the names of simplest necessaries? Thus the
numerals .stretch out across the sea with
scarce a change; water is wai wherever you
may chance to find it, and land, if not
benua pure and simple, is so close to it that
the change may pass for careless mispronun
ciation. And sky at the eastern verge of
theLemurian continent it is found as Iani in
Hawaii; at the somthern edge it is rangi in'
New Zealand, and so through langi in Fiji,
it reached langit in the Java seas, and grows
to lanihitra in distant Madagascar. But
how these words have traveled over many
thonsand miles of trackless sea is a question
for whose solution this continent has been
raised and sunk again.
HOME OP THEIR ANCESTORS..
Then, too, these people have a uniform
tradition of whence they came and its name
is the same though modified by the lips that
frame it Hawaiians say their fathers came
from an older Hawaii lying in the remote
West; Samoan story points to an ancient
western Savaii, whose name their largest
island bears; Maori memory in New Zealand
recalls a voyagetrom Hawniki; the scattered
threads meet in Java, where the name is
still the same, and at last the slender cord
stretches clear across the Indian Ocean to
the African Saba, where it hopelessly loses
itself in the ten lost tribes of Israel. Those
ten lost tribes forever vanished from the
page of history and yet forever trying to
appear here, there and everywhere small
wonder is it that instead of wrestling with
their problem the student deems it simpler
to drag the ocean bottom.
Word pnzzles are not the only puzzles of
the islands of the South Seas. Faint and
baffling traditions of ancient voyages, dim,
unsubstantial, are not the only trace of
distant ages which remain. The past has
come down to the present in enduring stone
bnt who first set those rock memorials in
place, how many ages they have watched
creeping across the sea, no man may say lor
the memory of the builders has faded out
of every human mind and the stone gives
no clew. Scattered here and there across
the sea these stone memorials may be found,
mysterious to the white man, mysterious to
the native who has lost the art of working
stone'if indeed he ever had it The present
people of the islands could never have
faced huge blocks and cut their edges so
true that after all the lapse of unknown
ages the trysqnare shows the work to have
been done by skillful masons. These then
are not (he men who swung block on block
into massy walls, each block weighing
many tons.
SOME MARVELOUS REMAINS.
In the Tubuai or Austral group lying to
the south of Tahiti is the island of Rapa iti,
"little" Rapa, a horseshoeof steep mountains
embracing a tiny bay. Here a hill shows
rising terraces of stone one above the other,
there another hill is banked with stone that
upholds a stone fligged path winding in a
spiral to the summit where is built a solid
platlorm of huge rocks. Across a valley
between the hills is thrown a broad cause
way. So on hill and hill the stone is found
dressed to shape and the people of the
island simply say "they were there when
our fathers came here, they must have been
there since the beginning of the world."
The stones are blocks of the very hardest
rock, the smallest full 10 feet in length by
6 and 4 upon the smaller end. These have
been dressed to so truea snrface that they
rest in place without a bit of mortar and yet
the seam remains so close that one could not
even slip a sheet of paper in betweeu the
stones. When these terraces are of less ex
tent, they are known as raaraes, and the
theory has been advanced that they have a
religious meaning as altars, but it is diffi
cult to find any proper proof of such a
theory Built of stonecarefully dressed and
closely fitted, even in some cases mortised
into the course below, these maraes are
found far and wide upon the Pacific Islands,
sometimes surrounded by the houses of the
modern towns, often buried in the forests in
the wild luxuriant tangle of tropical vegeta
tion. ' REMAINS OP DEAD CniEFS.
In many of the islands at the present time
the body of a dead chief is buried in a small
marae. The corpse is laid upon the ground
and around and over it is reared a rectangu
lar cairn of undressed stone, the whole being
about 10 feet long by bait as many iu
breadth and height In due proportion to
the dignity of the chief below the tumulus
has larger dimensions and in some cases a
ecood aud smaller one ii built upon it
Close upon the brink of a sheer cliff on
the Fijian Islaud of Wakaya one such tum
ulus was found covering 60 feet in length by
20 in width, and having two terraces each 5
feet in height when carefully opened it
was found to contain the bones of the dead
chief, tome of his most valued treasures in j
the shape of whale's teeth, black and honey
combed with decay, and no less than seven
skeletonr of women who had probably beeii
strangled for the chiet to lie upon after the
custom of the country prior to the introduc
tion of Christianity This cairn was cer
tainly two centuries old, if at least any
judgment could be based upon the size of
the trees which had grown in it let, old
as it undoubtedly was, it was modern, and
its rough rubble work bore no comparison
with the finished work of the really antique
masons.
In Easter Island the maraes have at
tracted the attention of all voyagers. Upon
Nukahiva in the Marquesas are similar
maraes of even greater extent The topmost
and the lowest terraces each have a quad
rangular depression in the center suns: sev
eral feet below the general surface. At
Kaksoa in the Hawaiian Islands is a marae
of large and carefully dressed stone, a plat
form 40 yards in length by 20 in width
standing 14 feet high, flat and neatly paved
upon the top.
HINTS AS TO THEIR ANTIQUITY.
On Maiden Island nearly under the equa
tor there are large stone areas neatly paved,
and in some stances these platiorms are
raised as much as three feet above the
ground, supported by blocks of coral. A
slight hint of the antiquity of these almost
imperishable works may be gathered from
the fact that one such raised pavement has
recently been uncovered under several feet
of guano. Pitcairn's Island, uninhabited at
the time the Bounty mutineers took posses
sion, was found to be covered with these ter
races and platforms of a very high antiq
uity. Departing from the usual type of a care
fully built cairn a close approach is madeto
the peculiar style of the Hruidic monument
in two solitary yet conspicuous instances.
The first is at Huahine, in the Society
Islands, where superstition attaches rever
ence and awe to a large slab of unhewn
stone Testing on the points of three huge
boulders. In Tongatabu, of the Friendly
Islands, there stands at Moa, some 12 miles
from Nukualofa, the principal town, a
monster trilitbon composed of two rectan
gular blocks ot eray volcanic stone, stand
ing 20 feet out of the soil and no one knows
how deep below it, about 12 feet thick and
10 broad, with well-squared faces and neatly
dressed edges. The tops of these two stones
are mortised so as to receive a part of a third
as carefully hewn monolith ot much the
same dimensions. Until within the last
score of years there rested on the center of
this stone a hnge bowl cut in the same ma
terial. The art which could dress this roct
and raise the great masses into place is
strange enough, but straneer vet is the fact
that the material is nowhere found in Tonga
or the neighboring islands, in fact nowhere
nearer than Uvea or Wallis Island, several
hundred miles away.
NOT UNLIKE THE MOUND BUILDERS.
Close to this imposing monument is the
ruin of what must have been an enormous
pyramid. Not far away in the island of
Lefuka, of the same group, is found a huge
stone standing out of the earth about 20 feet
in a slanting direction. This bears the
mark of human work and seems to belong
in the same category with the famous
Eaaba, or sacred stone of Mecca, which is
known to have been sacred ages before Mo
hammed incorporated it in his religious
system. Not many rods away from this
stone shalt is found a memorial, the onlv
one of its kind in Polynesia, which makes a
slight approach to the work of -the mound
builders in this country. This is a mound
evidently artificial, in shape it is the
fmstrum of a cone, about 40 feet in height;
its summit is quite flat and almost a perfect
circle of some 50 feet diameter. What its
age may be it is impossible to determine,
but enormous trees of an undoubtedly ven
erable antiquity have grown up through it
Finally, on Easter Island is found the
greatest effort of this ancient people in the
statues. They are large stones surmounted
by a bust and head, the lower portion from
the shoulders down being rudely dressed
into shape, with no attempt to represent
either body or limbs. These statues are of
trachyte, which is found in the extinct
crater of Otuiti, at the northern end of the
island, with at least 30 statues in all stages
of completion remaining on it
HINTS AS TO HEAD DRESS.
Some of the statues are erected at least
eight miles from this quarry. They stand
from 15 to 30 feet high, with a' breadth across
the shoulders of from 6 to 8 feet Upon the
head of each is a cylinder of red tufa
measuring some 50 inches in height and 60
in diameter. Sncb a cylinder liat resem
bling that of civilization divested of its
brim is still worn by the New Caledonians.
The countenance upon these statues is
strongly marked, expression stern, eyeballs
deeply sunken and gaze directed upward.
The ears are not carved out, but simply in
dicated by large, square masses depending
almost to the shoulders.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, is known of
the race that labored in these quarries.
There is not a tradition on which to weave
the finest web to connect them with the
present Analogy gives no clew, because it
gives too many, each one as good as the next
and no means of giving weight to one above
another. An extinct people heaped up
mounds along the Valley cf the Mississippi;
the mound is found in the islands. The an
cient Aymaras of Peru carved huge statues
and left them standing in Andean valleys;
statues almost the very counterpart stand on
Easter Island. The ancient Sabsans of
Africa and Arabia stuck long stones in the
ground to worship them; a rocky shaft still
is lound in Tonga. In, Southeastern Asia
are huge terraces of massy rock; the island
world is filled with just such monuments.
England and Normandy show huge blocks
supported on stone uprights; so does the
realm in which these ancient workers hewed
stone. All solutions are probable, all are
improbable; the dead are dead to all time.

HEAbUKIXG DUST.
Remits Obtained With a New Apparatus on
the Eiffel Tovrer.
Newcastle, En., Chronicle.
Mr. John Aitken reports the results of a
nnmber of tests made with a specially con
structed apparatus in various parts of the
kingdom as well as abroad, to measure the
dust particles in the air. Last year ad
vantage was taken of the Eiffel Tower to
test the air at a great altitude over a large
city. There was considerable variation iu
the relative purity of the air on this tower,
the extreme numbers being 226 particles per
cubic centimeter and 104,000 per cubic
centimeter.
About 200 particles per cubic centimeter
is the lowest average yet observed on the
top of the Rigi and in the wilds of Argy.e
shire but near villages the number goes up
to thousands, and iu cities to hundreds of
thousands. It cannot be decided as yet how
much of the dust is of terrestrial and how
much of cosmic origin, formed by the mill
ions of meteors which daily fall into our
atmosphere, for even iu the upner strata
there seems to be dust, as clouds form at
great elevations. The effect or dust on the
transparency of the atmosphere is very
great.
Chnmberlnln'a Cough Remedy.
This remedy does not dry up a cough bnt
loosens and relieves it It prevents cough
ing by producing a free expectoration, and
by allaying the inflammation and irrita
tion of the throat. It is the only prepara
tion in common use that produces an expul
sion of mucus from the air cells ol the
lungs, renders the mucus less tenacious and
easier to expectoiate, and opens the secre
tions. It completely undermines a cold. It
is especially adapted to children, as it con
tains no injurious substance. It is a great
favorite for croup, and has never yet failed.

Coughing
IS Nature's effort to expel foreign sub
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is tho
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before tho
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my experi
ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral. For years I was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad
vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside. I did,
so, and within a week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then I have
always kept thi3 preparation in tho
house, and feel comparatively secure."
Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"A few years ago I took a severe cold
which affected my lung3. I had a ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relievedlay lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for tho
recovery of my strength. By the con
tinual use of the Pectoral, a permanent
cure was effected." Horace Fairbiother,
