GOLD BY THE HANDFUL, but Clouds of Giant .Mosquitoes Keep Treasure Seekers at liny. Gold iii plenty may be found In the Bands of tne Yolador Itlver, a stream of moderate volume that comes tum bling from the snow line of the Sierra do St. Martha, In South America, but, though the lowland region and the riv er bed where the precious metal abounds In fabulous quantities are eas ily accessible, the mosquitoes are so thick and terrible there that all at tempts to rifle the sands of the gold have so far failed. Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French geographer, was the discoverer of this wonderful stream, whose waters sweep over sands that are literally golden, lie told the news to the French Vice Consul at Rio Ilacha, and this official obtained the concession of this Eldo rado. He took with him when he set out an Ingeniously constructed gauze tent of large dimensions. For two days he tried to live under its shelter and watch the operations of his workmen, who toiled in the stilling heat, clothed in thick garments and protected by heavy boots, gloves and veils. At the end of the second day, however, both employ er and employe with one accord gave up the struggle and retreated. The next to try to wring forluiie from these auriferous sands was an Italian who obtained permission from the Vice Consul referred to above. The Italian started out with n party of six, who shared with hint his belief, and so they took along no. special pro tection against the Insects. They en dured for less than half an hour the awful torture and then tied. Yet there are human beings wlio can venture with impunity Into Ibis hell whose guardian demons are mosqui toes, and these are some of the sav age natives of the mountains from whose rocky steeps the river conies tumbling down. These savages who are mosqulto-proof, are rendered so by their bodies being covered with the scales of that awful disease, leprosy. The mosquitoes will not touch them. But neither gold nor the gauds of civilization will tempt them to labor, and there Is no human power, appar ently, which will drag them out from their rude caves on the mountain side and make them labor for the white man.—-New York World.

ONE ASTROLOGER WHO KNEW. THE struggle was over; the last spark of rebellion crushed out and the ancient city of Delhi, the glory of the Mogul race, was again in the bands of the English. What a time it had been, that summer of V>7! The war over, my former regiment no longer existing, and. having realized quite a modest little fortune as my share of the fruits of tile great Delhi prize auctions, I determined to give up the service and return to England. I therefore sold my commission, but, the season of the rains approaching, I resolved to remain in Delhi tiil they should be over. My syce, or native ser vant, who had faithfully served me throughout the campaign, I retained as a valet. liis name was Meet* Alee and he was a splendid example of the hill tribe men, standing about (J feet inches. Withal, he was as intelligent as ho was handsome. 1 was seated one day in the \eranda of my bungalow, thoughtfully survey ing a slowly-healing saber cut upon my left wrist, when Meet- Alee entered the room, and, pausing in the (I )<>i way, made me a profound salaam. lie stepped close to my chair, and ex tending a small object, said, "Will the sahib look at this?" I took the thing in my hand. It was a little image of dusky yellow metal, and very heavy. I recognized it as a statue of Gautama, the incarnation of Buddha, and front its weight at once perceived that it was made of gold. "Where did you gel this, Moor Alee?" I asked. lie rolled up his line eyes till nothing but the whiles of them gleamed forth between tlie dusky lids. Then he said, "I found it in the Rani-Ragh." The "sacred garden," the Ram-Bagh, which my servant spoke of, was a lit tle, wild tract of land surrounding a ruined mosque not far distant from the outside of the city walls. It was a place whore no living creature ever went, save maybe some wretched fakir seeking shelter in the crumbling tem ple., "What were you doing In the Rani- Kagli?" I asked. | "1 will tell sahib everything," an swered the syce, squatting in Eastern fashion at my feet with the little im age in his lap. "Three days ago came j hither an astrologer, begging for alms. I brought him in and gave him food and drink, together with a few pice. "Then ho said unto 1110, 'Blmi-Bund, you are the first who this day has | given 1110 charity. May Siva bless your caste. I cannot live much longer; I will tell thee a secret in return for thy goodness which is written in no book and known only to him that can divine, the unseen. "'Know ye the Ram-Bagh!" said lie to me. 'Despise not what I tell you, but take a spade and dig deep, and you shall timl there treasures untold. For I am grown old and it is no use to me.' "So I went forth into the Ram-Bagh wiili a spade, and dug down into the earth, but discovered nothing, I was not disheartened. This morning I OIICQ more went into the Ram-Bagh and dug again the same place and found this," said he, holding up the little golden ini- The Ram-Bagh stood among the ruins I of Ferozabad, the ancient city of Delhi, and was just the spot to prove a vast earthly coffer. The land was all crown property, but the commissioner or government agent chanced to be a personal friend of mine, and I had small doubt of be ing able to obtain permission to dig for treasure by applying to him. I went that same afternoon to a well known money changer and goldsmith in the Cliandree Chouk, and, placing the image in lus hands, requested him to test it. lie took it, stroked it over, and said: "No need to test It. The tiling is pure gold." I went next to see my friend the commissioner, and found him seated in his office sucking iced brandy-paw- I nee through a straw. "I have come to ask a favor," said I, dropping into an inviting canvas chair, which at once folded up under me and landed mo on the floor. "To ask a favor, eh?" ho exclaimed, laughing at my mishap. "Most of my friends visit ine for that purpose. I be gin rather to suspect that my appar ent popularity in the station is due to my capacity of obliging." "O, it is a very simple affair," said I, getting on my feet again. "1 merely want your permission to do digging"—. he stared at mc—"on the Ram-Bagh," I added. "What the deuce can you want to go digging in that weedy, snake-haunted place for?" said lie, screwing a gold rimmed glass Into his eye, to view me more attentively. "Going to seek for treasure, eh?" "Why," I answered, a little taken aback, and wondering whether, after all, the astrologer's secret might, not be known to him, "to tell you the truth, j"ii have exactly hit it." "I wouldn't give you the value of a paper dollar for all you're likely to find. My dear fellow, dig over the whole place if you like. You will bo doing a great service by clearing it of weeds. But what, has put the notion of seeking for treasure in the Ram-Bagh into your head?" "Well," I answered, feigning reluct ance to admit a little superstitious weakness, "an astrologer called at my bungalow a few days ago begging for alms, and out of gratitude for the char ity bestowed upon him, he said that if I should dig in the Ram-Bagh heaven would reward my goodness." "My poor, deluded friend," he cried, laughing, "you won't discover any thing. But if you happen to discover ail old coin or two, or a bit of antique pottery, why, don't tell anybody about it." "One thing more to crown the obliga tions lam under to you," said I. "I.est 1 should be interfered with during my explorations, will you give nic a writ ten permit to dig up tlie Ram-Bagh?" Ho took a sheet of officially headed paper, scrawled a few lines upon it to the effect that I was at liberty to seek for treasure upon the spot named, and handed it to me. My first act upon returning to my bungalow was to summon my syce, and go with him to take a view of the Ram- Bagh. "Now listen to what I am going to say to you. First of all, I have had your image tested, and it is of pure gold. Ilere it is. Next, I went to the commissioner and obtained from him a written permission to dig in the Ram- Bagh for treasure, llis advice to nie was to keep all I found and say noth ing about it; therefore, we shall know how to act in this respect. "Now, Moor Alee, as you have behav ed so handsomely toward me, I wish to treat you equally well. We will go Into partnership in the undertaking; I will find oil the money requisite to hire labor to clear away the wild growth of the place and dig up the ground, and wo will share equally of the profits of whatever we find. Do you consent to tills?" "Sure, the sahib Is much too gener ous." replied he. "It. must l>e our business to keep ns quiet as we possibly can over the mat ter. Once we let it got wind that wo are seeking for treasure people will come flocking about lis, and it may end in the government laying claim to whatever we discover, since the land is crown property. Where are we to get, say, half a dozen good, trusty fol lows, who may be relied upon to keep their own counsel?" "If the sahib will leave it to me, T will undertake ly to-morrow to find six such men, who will eat of my elm pal toes, and swear to secrecy." Directly after breakfast I set out for the Ram-Bagh, clad in a suit of khar kce and knee boots, a useful costume in a hot climate. In due course the half-dozen natives my servant had hired arrived. They were stout, likely-looking fellows, and came well armed with shovels and pickaxes. Wo set to work in real earnest, and by the hour of noon, when I called a halt to rest, the coolies had cleared i way a broad space of laud extending (lie whole width of the bagli. The number of snakes, chiefly cobras, which lay hidden in the tall grass was in credible. The shape of the Ram-Bagh was nearly square, and my idea was to start by digging a trench about four foot deep close Up against Ihe wall whence we began cutting down the growth and work our way from this, turning up the soil till wc had covered the whole length of the garden. Moor Alee, who was himself the most enthusiastic among the workers, turn ed Ihe coolies to afresh after a short interval and they labored on with but little pause until sundown. All was now in readiness to begin digging, and I am free to confess it was with no small degree of anticipation that, on the following morning, I set the na tives to work upon the trench 1 have already spoken of. The coolies toiled on for several hours without lighting upon anything more than some fragments of broken pottery; then we came to our first find. This was neither money nor jewelry, but an elephant. The animal lay up on lis side about a yard below the sur face, pressed as fiat as a board and in a wonderfully good state of preserva tion. Our next discovery, made some yards away from the spot where we had come upon the elephant, was of a more welcome character. It. consisted of a long-necked, brown earthenware vase, ! of the size of a large melon. The neck of it was filled up with clay, but on handling it the weight of the thing gave us to know that It was full of some heavy substance, I took a pickax from one of the natives, and by a cautiously directed blow shatter ed the vase; the riven fragments flow asunder and out fell a mass of gold coins. But during the rest of the morning we discovered nothing more, save a large jadestone statue of some ancient na live god, which was so damaged that I left it. A thought came into my head while the little gang were taking their mid day rest and eating their mealies un der the shadow of tlio bagh wall. I strolled toward the ruins of the tem ple aiul entered. The flags were laid, not close togeth er, but at intervals of about a couple of inches apart, the Interstices between being filled up flush with dust. In sweeping aside the rubbish I had taken notice of a long, rusty iron spike, like a ten-penny nail. I picked It up, and, stooping down, ran It along the chinks betwixt the flagging of the floor. Out spurted a quantity of dirt, scat tering itself right and left, and—could I believe my eyes?—among the grains of dust there rolled forth a number of pearls! About twenty, I think there were. None of them was very large or of great value, but there could be 110 shad ow of a doubt that they were genuine gems, and if the floor of the temple was going to disgorge jewels in tills fashion there might bo many magnifi cent prizes among them. I put the pearls I had gathered up carefully in my coat pocket, stepped back again Into the bagh and beckoned to Mcer Alee. "I have good news to tell you," said I, subduing my voice, though excite ment was now working deep In me; "I have discovered where the real treasure of the It am-Ha gli lies." "It is beneath the floor of the temple. Look what I have just found among the flagstones there," and, drawing forth a handful of pearls, I exposed them to his view. We found that the tiles, which wore about two feet square, needed little ef fort to raise thein; if they had ever been cemented the stuff had crumbled away long ago. Almost the very first blow of the shov els Into the yielding ground gave back a sharp metallic clink. They began gingerly scraping away the soil, and presently uncovered what proved to be a most beautiful model of a pagoda in pure gold, as I after ward found, of Chinese workmanship. We were three days in lifting all the tiles and searching the soil underneath. One evening, while we were still work ing in the garden, my friend, tho com missioner drove over after dinner to visit meat m.v bungalow. He present ly said: "Have you got any treasure yet from that dirty old spot?" I answered: "Yes, we have found sev eral curious things; I will show you some of them." And then I produced one of the little golden images and about a dozen coins. I set these upon the table before hint. "I think, on reflection," said he. strok ing lils mustache, "that I may perhaps have exceeded the power vested in lue by giving you permission to search for treasure and keep all you found in the Uam-Bagh. As crown agent, you will easily understand that it is a point of honor with me to look after crown property." "Now, see here," I exclaimed. "I will tell you what I have done. You gave 1110 permission to search the Itani- Bagh for treasure and to keep what T found. On the strength of this, I set to work, hired labor, and had the pes tilential old place cleared out. That in itself was a distinct, service. "Now, I will not turn another sod myself, for I am quite satisfied with what I have already got. The place simply teems with buried treasure. The natives will go to work at. sunrise to morrow morning, as usual, but I shall not bo there. Meet* Alee will attend, and tell them they may dig for another master. Do you understand me?" He sprang toward 1110 and grasped my hand. "You have given me a for tune," cried ho. "And the government," said T. drily. "Is always pleased to have waste lands cleared away and rendered lit for cultivation," lie answered, with a slow smile. 1 contrived to get something resem bling a fair price for my valuable prop erty from the haggling Brahmins. When all was sold, and 1 came to cal culate the amount yielded, I found that. Meer Alee and myself had nearly 000 to divide. The last time I saw Meer Alee was In London. The handsome fellow was pa rading Pall Mall in the costume of a west end dandy, and a fine command ing figure he looked for ail the incon gruity of his garb. I gazed at his frock coat and his cur ly-briiiimod Bond street hat, his um brella, gloves and elegant boots, and could scarcely realize that this remark ably well-dressed Hindu was indeed the same syce who had so faithfully served mo through the mutiny.
