At the house Of David Thompson, in the

extraordinary scene. Mrs. Thompson lay in
her bed dclirlOus with Il one week old child
by her side. In another bed lay three little
children, dead. The nurse lay on the floor,
out of her mind. They had all been well
the night before The husband came home
and took in the situation with dazed and
stunned look. The physicians were mysti
fed. Was it poison? or what? A caroner's
jury investigated the case and have decided
that the victims had been poisoned by coal
carelessly been left open The babe alone
seemed to be unaffected by it. The nurse

that in digging a large hole for the reception
of a pasometer of immense size in one part
of the delta near New Orleans, the stumps OF
lfour successive growths of the cypress forest

the stump of monster tree in good state OF

coal and human skeleton the Uranium of
which is said to be of the particular type OF
tbe red Indian. The ring. of the large stump
were carefully counted and from all these
data together Dr. Dowler ascribes to this
skeleton an antiquity Of fifty thousand years.
And Sir Charles Lyell, IN reference to this
delta formation says, "Thc lowest estimate OF
time required would lead Us to assign an
antiquity amounting to many tens OF thouS-
