mountains curl, melt into mornS and
light awakes the world. The victims
have another day to swell the past,
which leads them near to little but
their last. They severally assemble
in the banquet hall and sit in silence
around the board, waiting the pleas
ure of the waiter, who soon appeared
bearing mammoth tray and numer-
Gus dishes, a few small loaves and
smaller fishes, and they severally
partake of their hash, mush and por-
ous-plaster cake, and rinsed it down
with cups of Rio. Breakfast over,
the committee arose and departed on
their wonted ways down town seek
ing rest and recreation. Soon after
the sun had marked the hour Of
noon the visitors had re-assembled
around the festive board. They sit
in solemn silence and in meditative
mood. In person al were present,
but their appetites were absent; each
made muss of his personal mess
and gave it no attention. 1t was
evident to their kind that the visitors
were full in body or in mind. Pres
emily No. dropped his cutlery and
in serious accent said: "Gentlemen,
[ invite you all to call at No. "a on
second floor at o'clock precisely"
His fellow guests nodded their as
sent and they all departed from the
hall. At the hour and place named
the guests re-assembled. The host
was seated at his table, the guests all
around in conference order, and af-
ter the usual greeting, the host arose
to state the object of the meeting
and said: "Gentlemen, the object of
my invitation is to communicate to
you certain information which con
Germs us all. After the breakfast
hour l took a stroll up the trail
through Happy Hollow to the spring
and while there I saw a trail leading
up hot hill, and upon inquiry, I
learned that it led to the tower on
the top. ! concluded to ascend and
take a view, and after thirty minutes
arduous effort | arrived at the sight,
handing quarter to the custodian,
who handed me an opera glass. l
assembled to the summit and there
beheld sight seldom seen by city
people. Outstretched at every point
laid a mighty wilderness of hills and
rocks that resembled ancient ruins.
Beneath my eye laid the city like a
sleeping giant tree with main trunk
and limbs extended, and like the an
cient prophet, l could have wept
DER her sins and suferings. l des-
cended to the base and delivered my
glass to the custodian and attempted
to interview him in regard to the
merits of the thermic water. At first
he was reticent. [ pressed the ques-
ton, and he finally said: Sir, | will
be brief and honest. No doubt you
have noticed the geological forma-
ton Of this location, the bare, visible
strata being black slate overtopped
with hills of Slick rock. You may CIR
may not be aware of the nature and
character Of Slick rocks, but 10
doubt YOU have noticed many sam
pies IF petrihcation and chrystaliza-
ton IN exhibition down in the town.
Such, sir, are found in all the noun
tains 'und They are produced by
the nature and action of the water.
1t is not my purpose to give particu-
lars, but will say that the citizens of
the town are aware of the effects of
the water, hence they use it very
sparingIv. A hint to the prudent is
sufficient"
At the conclusion of the forego-
ing statement Visitor No. stood up
in his place and said: "Mr. Chair
man, permit me to contribute little
information in confederation Of the
high custodian. After the morning
meal l departed down town, and
while passing on the west side of
Central avenue | saw sign which
read. Massage Institute, and not
knowing the character of the same,
and being little curious. l stepped
in and there | saw very peculiar
sight. There were several subjects
being treated by steam and lightning
power There were half a dozen
very peculiar machines propelled by
a steam engine, to all of which a
current of electricity was connected,
generated by dynamo. The sub
jects were put into No. in success
sion and passed through to No. 2.
Every machine had a different &C.
ton. The first was buffeting ma
chine, which pounded the patient in
al his parts The second annealed
him on platform, the third stretched
him like a rubber line, the fourth
suspended him first by one end and
then by the other, the fifth whirled
him in a rotary cage like squirrel,
the sixth was an oscilating machine
that rocked him in the cradle of af-
