to kill some grouse. is the 'beautiful'
was about tacse feet deep he went on
snow-shoes. The trip was a hard one, as
the mountain is very steep and he was
obliged to make many ''tacl,s'' TO reach the
summit. While he was passing near one
of the high granite cliffs he noticed that
there was al opening under it,and thought
| he had found q good place to rest and be
protected from the wind, SO he proceeded
to it. Seeing tiia5 darkness was inside and
the cave appearing TO DE of good size, he
made torch Of slivers taken from q pitc =
pine log near by. and proceeded to explore
his new find. After going through q long,
narrow and crooked passage re found him
self inside OF a large chamber with smooth
floor and perfectly dry, which was brilliant
~ lighted. by a fame in the cen5er. -
this was the main attraction lie c.t,;,,,''-:Y
went 10 it. To his astonishment j,1 g.; I.

From the mouth OF the strange ils.u.e

the prehistoric and undoubtedly very intel
Hgent race that erected it had discovered
gas jet, AID that there is communication
down through the body to the solid rock,
from which the gas proceeds perpetually.
1t is an evidence that there is an immense
body of coal oil under the mountain. from
which the g,.s proceeds. After satisfying
his curiosity looking at the wonderful
lamp he trenbl;ngly commenced a search
for other objects.
On the walls were hierogiyphics, which,
of course, he could not read. In one cor
ner was a very large huna IN sheleton-at
least nine feet Highland by it stone
tomahawk and large cross-bow, which,
although it had the appearance of being
perfectly sound, fell into thousand pieces
when he attempted to lift it. A stone
mortar. containing sone very rich gold
specimens, was found, and also some large
pieces of ruby silver. Some backbo1es Of
salmon were scattered around, proving
that the inhabitants of the cavern were
salmon eaters. There were many oshar
things in tha apartment, such as arrow
heads. bones Of animals and a petrifed

H0w tl:e I!at-f'isil D.SaDDaarct'.

Here is true story from friend of the dear little
scEocl-Tn; am:
= &c and Robbie were on the bridge
crossing a small creek near their house:
Kate was eight years old and Robbie
ten. They were Watching the fish ard
the crabs and the shrimps, and whatever
might come along. The water was ouly
about foot deep, and the bottom bright
clean sand, SO that they could see Wit.
perfect clearness yerything that passed.
Presently along came hat-fish SWIM
ming up the creek. Flat-fish always
swim close to the bottom, and when thew
stop swimming they lay fat on the bot
tom. This one was coming slowly along
and sa2rIing every few feet, ana then
: going on again. He was about eieht
inci4e., long and OF dark brown color.
anl O; course, as he contrasted with the
bright sand. his dark color showed very
strongly. The children saw him com
ing and were Watching him, hoping
,, that he would stop Near them. He did
so, making halt just rs he reached the
bridge. They were very quiet for fear
they might brighten him, not even speak
ing. but some movement Or other dis
t'irbed him, and he disappeared. "Whv.
Robbie! Where is the fat-Gsh?" Il
.n sure l can not tell, Kate. Did you
! 'ca him go?" ''No, and I was looking
.Iaiss1t st him all the time. How could
it 10 Lat he got away so quick?"
/ And SO they went on talking over the
matter, and wondering where the fat
i,sh was. while all the time he lay just
'..,sre they had seen him stop.
alter few minutes Robbie's sharp
eyes detected two small black spots on
the white sand. ''Katie, don't you see
those two specks? I wonder what they
can be. I don't believe they We're
there before the fat-fish came" "Wbv,
Robbie, they look to me like eyes. Do
YOU suppose he has gone away and left
his ewes there?" 81 don't know, Kate,
but YOU just keep still minute and I
will punch the place with stick" He
brought the stick, put it down carefully,
and was about to touch the black spots,
when away darted the fiat-hsh from the
very spot under the stick, and as he
swan off he looked as dark brown as he
was when he came.
Now. how was it that he disappeared!
Where did he go? will tell you. He
did not 60: he lay still all the time, but
he changed his color on the instant, sc
thai instead of being dark he was as
LIGHT as the sand. and then the children
we're unable to see him, and when Rob
}ie started him with the stick he re.
s,lraed his dark color as suddenly. isn't
that strange? And yet it is absolutely
t.re. I have seen it done many and
~ ~ Il time. You have probably read
