The progress Of the age is astonishing To say
nothing of the Magnetic Telegraph and India Rub

cries which we have no time 10 mention But per
haps the most wonderful achievement of the age,
rousy speaking. has been the researches into the
far and deep buried past made by DR.. Koch The
unearthing OF Herculaneum and Pompeii is nothing
10 them. Here we simply go back couple OF thou
sand years so, and find the fresh traces OF race
OF men similar TO ourselves but DR. Koch has torn
the veil inwoven of the eternal earth and'rocks old
as creations dawn from another In the history
of our planet, and exposed 10 our astonshed gaze

as insane idiocy, glide awfully about-a strange and
heavy atmosphere full of tremendous poisons long

the consciousness of our own existence.
Painful az il il thus 10 suffer the Imagination 10 re-

Yet il is a wholesome and an instructive trial No
being Of thought and knowledge can stand before
the remains OF this monster OF another creation
without becoming wiser and better.
As to the doubts OF the commences OF this enor-

and see-and then doubt If you can lndeed-this
skeleton has given thought almost a new direc-
ton here and crowds upon crowds flock daily TO
behold il and assure themselves that they are not
deluded by mighty dream.
