the clouds, so that it's men-of-war could
no longer approach them. No. she would
not be satisfied with the possession OF
some of the territory which would be
gained from the Atlantic Ocean. Major
Donellan had, however, prepared al
ready to return to Europe to secure his
rights on this new territory in case the
operation of Barbicane & Co should sue
ceed. 1t is seen how protests came from
sll parts of the world, even from States
where the changes would be impercepti-
BILE. because their people were inter-
eated in some other direction more or
less.
These proteststions became more and
more violent after the arrival of the ca
blegUam from Zanzibar which indicated
the point OF the shooting, and which 1t
WAS found necessary TO publish the
shove report TO explain. President
Barbicsne and Captain Nicholl, as we'll
IS J. I. Maston, were put under the ban
Of humanity and declared outlaws. But
What business all this created for the
Newspapers. What sales they had, and
bow the calculations ran up; how on
many occasions they were forced TO
print extra editions 1t is perhaps the
6rst time in journalistic history that
they we're all united with each other, as
they generally quarrel necessarily. This

pushed into his prison on the evening of
September II with the intention of
lynching him, and the jailer did not put
any obstacles in their way. They
rushed along the corridor, but the cell
Of j. I. Maston was empty. Mrs.
| Evangelina Scorbitt had come to his
help with heavy purse of gold, and he
had made his escape. The jailer had
been bribed by an amount OF money on
which he could live the rest OF his life
without working. He remembered that
Baltimore, Washington, New York and
many of the principal cities of America
were on the line of those parts which
would be raised and which would still
have enough air for the daily consump-
ton of their inhabitants.

WHICH CONTAINS PEW INTERESTING DETAILS
FOR THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTHLY
SPHERE.
Finally the Government of Washing
ton had found out the place where
Barbicane e. Co. were operating.
Should they doubt the authenticity of
this cable? No, that was not reason
able. The Consul at Zanzibar was a
very reliable person, and his informa-
ton could be accepted without doubt
1t was further corroborated by later
kilograms. 1t was really in the center
of the region of Kilimanjaro in the
African Wamasai, little under the
equatorial line, where the engineers of
the N. p. p. A. were going to accom-
plished their gigantic work.
How could they have secretly reached
this lost country. at the foot of the
celebrated mountain, discovered in
1910 by Drs. Rebviani and Krapf, as
cended by the travellers Otto Ehlers and
Abbot? How were they able to estab-
lish their workshops there, erect a
foundry and bring a large number Of
help, or at least enough to succeed?
How had they been able to establish
friendly relations with the dangerous
tribes of the country and their sover-
eigns, as cunning as they were cruelf
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1890-07-31

This we did not know. And perhaps it
would never be known, as there were
only a few days left before the 22d of
September would arrive. j. T. Maston
heard from Mrs. Evangelina Scorbitt
that the mystery of Kilimanjaro had
been unvailed by telegram sent from
Zanzibar Great Scott" he exclaimed,
saving the air with his iron hand.
well, we do not travel by telegram
yet, nor by the telephone, and in six
days the matter will be finished"
Those who saw and heard this remark
able man utter these words were aston
ished at the energy in the old gunner.
j. T. Maston was right. There was no
time left to send agents to Wamasai
with orders to arrest President Barbi-
cane. They would even have been too
late had they departed from Alglers or
Egypt, even from Alden, Madagascar or
Zanzibar, as they would have met thou
sands of difficulties in this mountainous
region, and perhaps they would have
met with an army composed of follow
ers of the Sultan, who was interested in
the matter. Therefore all hope of pre-
venting this operation had TO be given
up. But if prevention was impossible
nothing seemed more easy than the fig
uring out of the terrible consequences,
as the exact situation of *" was
now known. This problem was diff
cult enough, but all algebraists and
mathematician of large reputation
ought to be able to solve it AS the
cable of lthe Consul of Zanzibar had
been sent direct to the Minister of State
at Washington, the Federal Govern
ment wanted to keep it secret at first
They wished as well that its contents
were published all over the country, so
that theycould indicate what the results
would be of this displacement of the
axis and the uprising Of the oceans, and

VERY SHORT. But IN WHICH r. TAKBs A
GEOGRAPHICAL VALUE.
Very luckily for J. T. Maston, the
Federal Government received the fol-
lowing telegram sent by the American
Consul stationed at Zanzibar:
TO John s. Wright, Minister Of STATE, Wdshino-
Ton, q. s. a.
ZANZIBAR, Sept. 10, 5 a. N. local time.)-
Great works are being executed in the Wanna
sal south of the chain OF KilimanjaTo. For
eight months President Barbicane and Captain
Nicholl have been established there with 3
great number Of black help under the authority
Of Sultan Bali-Bal. This is brought 70 the
knowledge OF the Government by its devoted
RICHARD w. TRUsT, Consul.
And this was how the secret OF j. Il.
Maston became known. And, therefore.
were the secretary of the gun club still
in prison he could not have been
hanged.
But after all, who knows whether he
would not rather have been glad to
meet with death in the full glory of his
life than to live on with all the chances
Of disappointment

THE CROWD Et SHED INTo his PEiSoE.
had created as much public excitement
as such momentous document only
could. IL there were at the beginning
a few skepties on the subject there
were none at present The vari-
Gus governments had notified in
haste those Of their provinces which
would be raised into the air and those, a
much larger number, the territory of
which would be overrun with water. In
consequence Of this advice sent by tele-
graph over the Ave continents Of the
world an emigration began such as had
never been seen before. Every race was
represented, white, black. brown, yell
low, etc, in one chromatic procession.
Unhappily. time was wanting for all to
secure safety. The hours were now
counted A few months notice would
be required for the Chinese to leave
China. the Australians Australia, the
Siberians Siberia. In some instances
the danger was local one as soon as
the place Of the shooting was known, so
the fright became less general. Some
to fee easy again. In word, except in
the regions directly threatened, there
was only felt an apprehension of the
terrible shock. And during all this
time Alcide Pierdeux was saying to him
self How in the wide world can Presi-
dent Barbicane make cannon million
times larger than that Of twenty-seven
centimeters? This Maston, I would like
very much to meet him-to have with
him talk upon this subject. This DOES
not agree with any thing sensible; is is
too enormous and improbable.
BE this as it may, the failure OF the
operation VAS tie only hope which was
left for certain parts OF the world to es-
cape moro terrible destruction.

Cape Horn. The Patagonians, high
as they are located. would not escape
this immersion, and would not even
have opportunity Of taking refuge on
that part OF the Andes, as the highest
points OF that range would not be WISH
bic at all in this part of the globe.
This, then, must be the result, the
lowering OF the upper and raising OF the
lower sections, and an entirely new sur
face to the oceans, produced by the
coruscations in the surface OF the earth's
sphere. Such were the happenings
which would resdt and against which
the people Of this world had no help If
they could not promptly stop Barbicane

After this public notice there was
nothing left but 10 wait for the coming
danger or to run away TO the neutral
lines, where there would be no danger.
The threatened people were, in general,
divided into two classes the people
who would be suffocated and those who
would be drowned" This ecmmunica-
ton reused many different suggestions,
which, however, all turned into the
strongest and most violent protestations
against the sch eme and sehemers
Among those who would sufiocate wer
the Americans in the United States
the Europeans OF France, England
Spain, etc. Even the prospect of annex
ing territories now at the bottom Of
the ocean was not sufficient to
make them quietly accept these changes
Paris, carried towards the new Pole q
distance about equal TO that which sep
arates il from the old one, would gain
nothing by it. IL would have con-
tinued spring, it is true. bnt il would
lose considerable air. And this was not
satisfactory 10 the Parisians, who like
TO have as much air as possible, and
boulevard property and cafes went beg
ging. Among those who would be
drowned were the inhabitants of South
America, of Australia, Canada. India.
Zealand, etc. Great Britain wauld suf-
fer the loss of her richest colonies,
which Rarbicane IL Co. would take away
from her through their separation Evil
IDENTIFY the Call of Mexico would consti-
tute vast kingdom Of the Antilles, Of
which the Yankees and the Mexicans
would claim possession by the princi-
pies o. the Monroe doctrine The islands
of the Philippines, Celebes and the wa
ter around them would leave vast terri
tories Of which the English ami spanish
people c9lid lake possession. II was =
vain compensation. 1t did not at all
balance the loss due to the terrible
food
II under the new oceans only Samoy-
edens, Lapons, of Siberia, Fuegans,
PatRgonisns Tartars, Chinese,
Japanese or few Argentines-w would
suffer and be lost perhaps the civilized
powers would have accepted this sacri-
foe complacently. But too many pow
ers took part in the great catastrophe
not 10 raise torrent of protest.
And what especially concerned Eu-
rope was, that although the central
part Of it would be nearly intact, it
would be raised in the west and low
cred in the east, half suffocated on one
side and half drowned on the other.
This was not very acceptable The
Mediterranean Sea would be almost
emptied, and this would not be very
agreeable to the Frenchmen, Italians
Spaniards, Greeks, Turks and Egyp-
nans, which, by their situation on the
coast, had indisputable rights in ocean
travel. And then. what good would be
the Suez canal, which would be saved
hy its position on the neutral line? But
what use could be made Of this i'm
mense work Of Lesseps when there was
no longer the Mediterranean on one
side Of the isthmus and the Red Sea on
the other, at least within any reason
