The New York Graphic is poking fun
at De Lesseps for proposing to flood the
Desert of Sahara with water. 1t says:
'.De Lesseps should be looked after. He
is cndangering the stability OF the planet.
He proposes to cover the Desert of Sahara
with water by means of canal cut from
the sea. The French Cabinet approves
this undertaking. The result Of this sud
den accumulation OF vast weight of water
over so large surface will be the dis
placement of the earth from its center of
gravity. The consequence will be the
general spilling Of all the present seas
and oceans over the dry land. If any
body survives to write history this cata-
clysm will be known as DE Lesseps' Del
nge The rivers will run up hill or slop
over their banks sideways. The Pacific
Ocean will rush over the American Con-
tineiit and the Atlantic will follow suit
and food Europe, Asia and Africa. Peo-
pie who take heed of this prophecy and
warning should furnish themselves with
balloons and remain in the air until the
De Lesseps deluge ends and the new d.
visions of land into continents and islands
are arranged by nature. Then the COM
paratively few aerial jewellers may de-
scend aud proceed to occupy the earth.
1t may furnish splendid opportunity for
new discoveries and land grabs. Their
diet will be mainly the fish left in the
pools until the over-watered earth be-
comes again susceptible of cultivation.
"Yet De Lesseps should be stopped in
this mad undertaking. If France backs
him up, then France should be stopped.
The nations of the earth should band to-
gether, and if necessary by force of arms
prevent themselves from being so drowned

At Dion the other day, a NJ. Chanut,
the owner of very old house, found be-
hind a shelf in cupboard or pantry sew
eral boxes containing nearly $62, 900 in
gold. The money was carefully done up
in rouleaux, with card in each box
specifying the amount it contained. The
theory that the hoard belonged to M.
Louis Moussier, who occupied the house
during the Revolution, was confirmed by
finding his name on one roll of coin the
writing agreeing with his signature on
notarial deeds. He died in 1916, leaving
all his property to his wife, who survived
him fifty-one years. At her death she
left part Of her property to local con-
vent, but the heirs Of her husband and
herself defeated the nuns in lawsuit
over the legacy, and they will now take
the sum just discovered. The lodging
was occupied by a lawyer named Roger,
whose cook had for years set mouse
trap nightly on the Wondering old board
hiding the treasure, and the tenant pre-
ceding him was rascally notary who
was sent to the galleys for twenty years
for forgery. sri
