A Rolling Stone.

Perhaps the most interesting antobi-
ocraphy recently given to the public is
that Of George Pemberton Clarke Mr..
Clarke has put the story of his life into
verse. At the end of the poem he says:
II have travelled $40, 900 miles, crossed
the equator eight times, encircied the
earth once, doubled Cape Horn four
times, visited for:y-eight countries, six
ty-six islands, lived under six king
doms, seven republics, seventeen other
forms of government, civilized and saw
age; starved twice, chewed by a whale.
bitten by shark, blown up with pow
der, bursted boiler, broken leg, broken
arm, kidnapped once, asphy xiated once,
captured by cannibals, elected to be
roasted, attacked by robbers, carried
over Chagres Falls, over the Rip Rapa,
Virginia; fell dom ships hold, fell
down elevator hatchway, married twice,
am well, strong and hearty to-day;
that's enough for one mau." The
writer further says that he is seventy
years of age.

A Few Statistics.

Interesting facts concerning ancient
cities: Nineveh was 10 miles long. s
wide and 40 miles around, with a wall
100 feet high, and thick enough for
three chariots abreast. Babylon was
so miles within the walls, which were
81 feet thick and $50 high, with 100
brazen gates The Temple OF Diana, at
Ephesus, was 420 feet to the support of
the ROOF. 1t was 100 years in building.
The largest of tie pyramids is 461 feet
high, and 653 on the sides; its base
covers IL acres. The stones are about
30 feet in length, and the layers are
$50. 1t employed SO, 600 men in build
ing. The labyrinth in Egypt contains
300 chambers and 251 halls. Thebes,
in Egypt, presents .uins % miles
around. Athens was % miles around,
and contained go, 600 citizens and 400
600 slaves. The T,mple of Delphos
was SO rich in donations that it was
plundered of $500, 600, and Nero car
ried away from it 200 statues. The
walls Of Rome were 13 miles around. -

cession OF dwellings were encountered
stretching along for miles. and
being built up in terrace form,
one above the other, with solid
masonry unlike the crude and pigmy-
like clifI-dwellers of Arizona and
New Mexico. These dwellings had
more the appearance 0. regular streets,
being built above each other on the
shelving declivity of the canyon, and
being difficult OF access, as if it had
been done for purposes of defense
against powerful enemies. The build
ings have their front walls constructed
o! hewn stones carefully cemented.
While the rear portions are built into
the sides OF the canyon. All of these
ruins are in remarkable state of pre-
servation, so much so that they deserve
more the name Of aband oned dwellings
than Of ruins.
Alter this canyon is passed and the
open country reached an isolated mount
ain Of symmetrical proportions is
reached, on the summit of which the
ruins of a gigantic stone structure are
encountered, the appearance of which
indicates that it was either temple or
the palace of a king. A portion of
these ruins consist o! a very hard con-
crete. At the foot Of this mountain are
substantially constructed terraced
structures, plainly howing the existence
In former times of an extensive
system of irrigation and storage of
water. The country for many miles in
all directions contains some relics. such
as melates or stone tables, with appro-
PIRATE pestles for the GRADING of maize,
stone hammers, various household uten-
sils, and In some instances, bronze tools
of such extraordinary hardness aud tenn
per that they are equal to modern steel
tools. Wherever the ground is turned
up these relics are found in unfailing
abundance. The neighboring Indians
know of these evidences of a former
civilization. The belief is that the king
OF all the Montezumas lived on the top
OF that mountain, but at what time and
what his name was they did not know.
