THE SECRETS OF A ROBBERS CAVE.

Two men have just been tried before
the Court OF Assizes of the Bases Py-
reneeS for number of rrbberieS,
which by an accidental circumstance,
leo to an interesting archaeological dis
cOvery. The accused, Bivas, a shoe
maker, aged 80, and Belliar, weaver,
aged 56, were arrested in May last,
after frequent burglaries and armed
attaks on the highways had spread
terror around the neighborhood of Sis
teron. The evidence against them
was very clear, but no traces could be
obtained Of the plumber until one of
the men gave clue to the mystery.
Rivas in his youth had been shep-
herd boy about the place, and knew the
legend Of the Troud' Argent, a cavern
at the summit Of one of the Alps, with
SIDES so preclpitOus as to be almost in
accessible, and which no one was ever
known to have reached The Commit
sary of Police of Sisteron, after extra
ordinary labor, succeeding in scaling
the mountain, and penetrated to the
mysterious grOttO, where he discover
ed an enormous quantity of stolen ar
tlcles Of all kinds, comprising watches,
clothes, domestics animals, food, spir-
It's fire arms, etc. The way having
been once found. the vast cavern was
afterward explored by savants. And
their researches brought to light
a number of Roman medals
OF the third century, flint hatchets,
ornamental pottery, and the remains
OF ruminants of enormous size.
The advocates of Rivas asked for
the indulgence of the jury for these
pioneers Of science, but both persons
we're sentenced to twenty years hard
abor. -LOndon GLobe.

SUNSHINE INLONDON AND NEW YORK

At the Royal Observatory, Green
Wlch. Eng, a self-regestering sun
dial is used to indicate and record
the daily duration of sunshine. The
instrument consists of lens made in
the form OF ball, glass, inches in
diameter. supported concentricallv
with a metallic bowl. The focus Of
the ball lens falls on the concave sur
lace OF the bowl, in which is placed a
strip OF suitable combustible mate

When the sun shines, the material is
charred and the burned line is made.

cateS the time and the duration of the
solar radiance. Some very curious
results are given, which illustrate in
a striking manner the difference be-
tween the atmospheric conditions of
London and New York. especially in
the tall and winter months.
during the entire year ending April.
1911, there were, according to the
register, only 1900 hours of sunshine
at greenwich, OF. an average of a tritie
over IA hours per diem. The month

Memoir Y.

nat q strange, mysterious thing
is memory. Often Il blessing, but
sometimes q curse. When our mem
cries are of the good, the true. and
the beautiful of good works, kind
deeds, and loving smiles given and
bestowed, then are they very lovely,
but, when they are of the opposite,
then they become a burden grievous to
be borne. The memories of home,
friends, and childhood's happy hours,
when the world to us was fairy
land, and mother voice the sweet
est music, and brothers and sisters
helped to make home lovely and life
delightful, are too pleasant for us to
wish ever to lose them. Sometimes.
however, our memories seem strange
and unreal. and our waking and sleep
ing dreams seem strangely blended.
so that 1T IS often difficult to disentan-
gle one from the other: and often. after
lapse OF time, trifies that, at the
time OF their occurrence. we took no
note OF, flash athwart our minds. and
we wonder why it is thus.
The thought often suggests itself.
When | am old, will memory be a
pleasure, or otherwise! | think it
VIII depend much upon our own deeds.
Of course, as we grow older, the mind
seems to wander back to early days,
ana the events that absorbrd us then
will come back with all the viyidness
of life. Still, know that the recollec-
ton of the many wrongs we have
done, the little unkindnesses we have
to others, the unjust thoughts
we have cherished toward those who
have never wronged us, and even the
small vanities that, in themselves
seemed harmless, though taking the
place of nobler and higher thoughts,
Will then be rs a weight on our memo |
ry. casting Il shadow over our lives. |

We have not at hand anv reliah1

we nave not at hand any reliable
register of sunshine in New York
like abe above; but it is within the
experience of every one living here
that our periods Of sunshine far sur
pass those of London. For example.
London makes the beggarly show of
only six and a half hours of sun during
the entire month of December. In
New York, we have in December
many days of solar brilliancy, any one
of which would register more hours
OF sunshine than the Londoners get
during the whole month.
We hope that some one will intro
duce the globe lens here and ascertain
the exact sunny records for this lati-
tude. The instrument would form
useful addition to the meteorological
of the Central Pack.
