introduction to the genial-fac gentleman.
He proved very communicative. and during
a half hours conversation gave some very
interesting facts concerning the old pre-
historic mounds which are found in various
parts of the country. At the outset. how
ever he stipulated that his name must not
he used.
Il am not prepared 10 give y"u any eN-
tended account said he. but IN the half
hour have Ia spare will tell YOU of lii
tie experience had while with an eNploT-
ing party last autumn. In various parts of
the United States, and notably the states

theT, are old prehistoric mounds. They
contain the remains of a people sup
posed To have helCspOSSeSsion of America
long before the present Indian tribes. our
party of explorers consisted of four besides
myself. and a number of Indian guides.
The region we chose was III the central
part Of Pennsylvania, ten miles south Of
Corydon. Ii was on the tOrnplanter reSer-
vation. Some of the mounds there are for
ty feet in diameter at the base and twenty
feet high. The mound We chose To Ope-
rate on was about this size. The top was
covered with huge tree Stumps, some OF
them three feet in diameter. Covering the
moynd was perfect tangle of nderbrush
and small SaplingS, so You see IL was no
triiing undertaking to open the mound. II
took some time and deal of hard labor to
effect an opening. but We finally managed
to do So. and found many curious relies. At
the very bottom of the mound We found sev-
eril skeletons Two of them We're lying
together and We're evidently those Of a male
and female. The faces Were covered with
plates of mica. The bOny fingers were dec
grated with copper rings and near the heads
lay some huge copper earrings. Pieces Of
broken pottery. arrow heads, and various
articles of stone were also found.

peasant way 70 spend ones eNisterse.
Il j. over there. Just at that slab TO
ward the left. that the experience oc-
CURED which viii now relate.
II was then Il new man. and did not
fee! quite at home as much as now,
and though 1t u wcll-nigh fifteen wears
since 1t happened it was 80 forcibly
impressed upon my mind at that time
that ! shall Is"vcr forget it. The stu
dents had all gone and | was alone in
the diSsecring room. The hour was
about twelve o'clock, and | had re-
manned to tiXr up the cadaverS for the
morrow. The associations connected
with the place at such an hour are
enough to Till the mind Of u less nerv-
Gus person with apprehension. About
two hundred dead bodies lay on the
slabs all around. and at that time II
screen hung from the top of each slab
to the ground. so as to conceal the
deGris during the day. Not a sound
broke the stiffness of the dissecting
room, not Il ripple ran through this
big building. when all at once, as
stood near that slab. heard loud
snoring sound proceed from a Czdaver.
Il could feel the thro!,biGg of NY
heart. and l stood rooted to the
ground. l could not move if tried.
and the muscles OF my feet seemed to
give way under me. The cadaver
raised himself on his back and looked
ana grinned at me in most agonizlng
manner. A cold sweat ran all over
my frame. l seemed to be lifted of
the ground, and in another moment
l was thrown PROSTATE on the floor. l
never believed much in ghosts, out at
th.t time could not explain this ex-
trAbrdmary phenomenon.
IL lay in that position ! know not
how long. But any way when l re-
covered consciousness it was morning,
and the light was streaming in through
those windows. With the return of
day l plucked fresh courage and went
up to ascertain the cause of nv scare
of the previous night. The cadaver
lay in the very same position in which
it had been placed by me, and l put
my hand on the face and found the
GOODNESS Of death there. i raised up
the cloth that covered the lower part
of the slab. and there found the cause
Of my feeling of the previous night. A
student lay on his back on the floor in
a profound slumber, sleeping off the
effects of the nights debauch. This
at once explained the whole secret
away. and the nervous prostration l
experienced was wholly due to my ar
dent Imagination. | got over all that,
however, and now | investigate the
cause of any unusual noise since that
night. OF course, you can readily un-
derstand the nervous perturbation was
wholly induced by the strange noise
that was produced in that place at
such an unreasonable hour. and that
explains away nv feelings with regard
to the erect position the cadaver was
supposed to assume. Such an extra
ordinary occurrence might result
fatally in many cases, for the nervous
system in one who is firm believer in
supernatural visitations would receive
a shock from which it would never, in
all probability, rally, and / have
known many people who were rem
dered insane by just such an occur
renee. 1t was a lesson to me, how
ever. that l will not readily forget. So
much for my first experience in dis
secting-room. ~ Y. Herald.
