The winter waves have laid bare an
old wreck on Seyen-mile Beach, which
the imaginative people or that charm-
ing old island think may be ono of the
late Capt. Kidd's fleet. Some san

dig about the old sand preserved skele-

looms said to have been buried about
the island by that we'll renowned

Tho Newspaper of Japan.

4 japanese newspaper is a very
different thing from what wo are ac-
customed to find Oh our breakfast
tables. Our last page is its first; its
columns only run half tho length OF
the page; it has no such thing as head
lines or "scare heads" and its titles
run from top to bottom instead of
across; it has but o few rough eillus-
trations; it prints few advertisements,
but those are paid for ut compare
lively high rate; its prico is low,
ranging from 1 to 9 cents q copy
and from 25 to 80 cents q month;
and it knows nothing yet of sensa-
tiopal advertisements or flaming
posters or deeds Of journalistic "derr-
ing do" 1ng general, its scale is much
moro that of the French newspaper
than of the world moving monsters Of
London, New York and Philadelphia.

folded papers under his arm and On

Cliff Dwellcrs.

One Of the most attractive portions
OF Colorado, if not in the entire west,
is that part Of the state in which are
found the cliff dwellings, Of n long cx-
tinct race. The district in which
these ruins arc located covers an area
of nearly G,O00 square miles, chiefly
In Colorado, but which includes mar
row bolts in the adjacent territories Of
New Mexico, UtaI, and ArizonaS
The ruins OF this region, like most
others Of. the extreme west and south,
are the remnants in great measure
OF stone structures It is evident,
however, that great portion of the
villages and dwellings, Of the lowlan;!s
which comprise this district have been
of material other than stone. fre-
qucntly, doubtless, Of rubbc and
adobe combined.
The cliff houses conform i'm shape TO
the floor of the niche or shelf on
which they arc built. They are of
HF:n. neat masonry, and the manner
In which they are attached orcclncntcd
to the cliffs is simply marvellous Their
construction has cost a great deal of
