Loss OF A CoNTINENT.-Plato sends
down to posterity tradition of his
day that a great continent by the Al
lantic Ocean suddenly sank out OF
sight. He further says it was an is
land called Atlantis. On it were
Kingdoms and organized governments,
wealth, arts and civilization, instantly
lost to human sight. 1t is now the
opinion of the leading geologists-
those most advanced in science-that
the American continent appeared
when the Atlantic waters rushed into
the cavity or depression on the earth's
surface now filed by salt water The
Rocky mountains were then the rough
bed of an ocean, which rose with ma
rine plants, shells, and other products
of an aquatic origin, that are found
abundantly strewn there, and, in fact,
all over North and South America.
Remnants of Atlantis, the submerged
continent, are believed hy some scien-
fists to be recognized in the Adimn-
dacks, the White mountains in Maine,
and few other outcroppings belong
ing to that deluged and forever lost
country. There is no knowing what
astounding discoveries may yet be
made in coming ages corroboratiye of
Plato's narration.

Contrary Kilbourne
When Kilbonrne, the witness, yes
terday addressed letter TO the
Speaker of the House reminding him
of his duty under the 10th section of
the Revised Statutes, the Speaker
had already prepared the certificate
required and it was at that tune
ready to be sent TO the District At
torney. Kilbourne made a demand
that the certificate required be given
by the Speaker so that he might en-
Joy the right to speedy and public
trial. but according to the interpola-
tion given to the law by the Speaker
and his advisors the certificate does
not release Kilbourne from prison.
This must be done by the House, it
being held that apart from such GER
tiication the House has the right to
punish for contempt.
