paly In the ranks Of the ignorant, among those who
knew little or nothing about astronomy, and doubted
simply because they would accept no evidence of the
truth. For many years the "Moon II lax'' was ont of
print and could be found only in the scrspbooks of
curiosii y-mongers, but In 1859 it was issued I'm a
pamphlet form by william Gowans, at New York
and even at that late day had wide circulation.
The "moon hoax" established the Sun upon nrm
basis, and by the time the joke was fully exposed
and the people realized how completely they had
been duped, the system Of cheap newspapers was 30
completely successful that it has remained to this
day feature OF American journalism.
In 1886 Mr.. Locke dissolved his connection with
the Sum- and at once established in New York
political daily paper of his own, entitled The Se,o
Era, which he conducted for some time with consid-
erable success. But he very unwisely attempted to
repeat the moon Hoax" In the columns OF his new
journal, and, as might have been anticipated failed
Of success. He pretended to have come, by some
accident, into possession of the lost manu-
scripts OF Mungo Park, the celebrated
African explorer, and from them dshed up the
finale OF his adventures, which were navored with
all the vagaries Of imagination that did not re-
cognze the bounds OF reason the limits OF proba.
bility. No one, however, appeared to be deceived
by this trick, and the adventurous career of Mungo
Park was never brought TO an end Mr.. Locke after.
wards created some little sensation by getting up
in connection with DR.. Sherwood, practitioner Of
magnetic remedies, a book on Magnetism as the
moving power or vital force of the universe, the
more immediate object OF which was to set forth
new magnetic method OF ascertaining the longitude
The subject was brought to the attention OF Con-
gress, but finally escaped the public view, and the
author likewise retired on the laurels he had OBJ
tanned as perpetrator OF the stupendous Moon

Joseph W. Drake is an honest. simple farmer,
who resides in Stroudsburg, Monroe county,
Pennsylvania. On the night of the 10th of De-
cember he retiredito bed at an early hour, and
little after 12 O'Clock was startled to iud three
desperate looking men, with revolvers in their
hands, standing by his bedside. They threat

two O'Clock in the morning. The unfortunate
pair were released from their irksome situation
on the following morning, only to fnd that the
savings of years had been carried off. No trace
of the robbers could be found, and the poor
farmer despaired of ever again seeing his hard

receiAed telegram TO the effect that the stolen
bonds had been found in the possession of Mr..
Benjamin Cartright. cashier of the City Bsnk in
New York.
The old man came on as fast as he could, and
appeared in the Tomb's Police Court this moIIl-
ing to make formal complaint. His appear
ance was very singular. He wore an
ancient suit of homespun, with cowhide boots,
and hat about a score of years old. His hair
was tow-colored, and hung down over his
shoulders. When the bonds were HANDED 10

and his eyes glistened, while In voice tntt
faltered with suppressed emotion he declared
that they were his property. He was about to
place them in his pocket-book, when he was
Informed that he would have to wait the regular
course of the law. This considerably dampened
his ardor, but he watched the proceedings with
greater interest. Mr.. Carpenter proved that ne
had bought the bonds on the 18th of January,
in the regular course of business, from
Mr.. Gilbert Van Pelt, broker, OF
No. 3S Broad street, and had given
his check for 1889 81. Mr.. Van Pelt
had purchased them on the same day from Mr.
Louis Degron, who was acting for Mr.. William
G. Lambert, Jr., broker, whose Office is at no
81 Broadway. The bonds were, therefore
traced to the possession of Mr. Lambert, and b,
stated that he had bought them from a gentle
man named Charles Whitcomb, early In January
AS Mr.. Lambert was unable to produce Mr
Whitcomb, Justice Bowling decided that hC
