lusion Of the fancy. Columbus called
Rodrigo Sanchez. of Segovia. and made
the same inquiry BY the time the latter
had ascended the roundhouse, the light
had disappeared They saw it once or
twice afterward in sudden and passing
CLEANS, as il it were torch in the
bark of fisherman, rising and sinking
with the waves; or in the hand Of some
person on shore, borne up and down as
he walked from house to house. So
transient and uncertain were these
CLEANS that few attached any importance
to them; Columbus, however, considered
them as certain signs of land, and, more
over, that the land was inhabited.
They continued their course until in
the morning, when a gun from the Pinta

The land was now clearly seen about-two

the dawn
The thoughts and feelings of Colum-
bus in this little space Of time must have
been tumultuous and intense. At length,
in spite of every difficulty and danger,
he had accomplished his object. The
great mystery of the ocean was revealed;
his theory, which had been the scoff Of
sages was triumphantly established; he
had secured to himself glory dura-
bic as the world itself.
1t is difficult to conceive the feelings
Of such man at such moment, or the
conjectures which must have thronged
upon his mind as to the land before him,
covered with darkness. That it was
fruitful was evident from the vegetables
which foated from its shores. He
thought too that he perceived the fra
GRANGE Of aromatic groves. The moving
light he had beheld proved it the resi-
dence of man. But what were its in
habitants? Were they like those of the
other parts of the globe, or were they
some strange and monstrous race, such
as the imagination was prone in those
times to give to all remote and unknown
regions? Had he come upon some wild
island far in the Indian sea, or was this
the famed Cipango itself. the object
of his golden fancies? A thousand specu-
lations of the kind must have swarmed
upon him, is, with his anxious crews, he
waited for tbs night to pass away; won
dering whether the morning light would
reveal a savage wilderness or dawn upon
spicy groves, and glittering fanes, and
gilded cities, and all the splendor OF
oriental civilization.

The question Of superfuous under

Ten years ago women did wear a lot Of
unnecessary things, but they do not
now. The majority Of women who can
afford it wear tights, thus doing away
with garters or dragging suspenders.

much Of the decadence Of modern man

among women of today of wearing high

universal footwear Of the day, and ad

Ihe newest dresses are made without
any lining in the skirts, and no drapery
whatever. Ten years ago women wore
pounds Of false hair, but they don't any
more.
But" says some dress reformer, "all
this has come about through our efforts.
Possibly that Is true, aud il it il, then
all honor to the dress reformers, but
there is such thing as being overzeaI-
Gus. There are not many women in the
world. and there are still fewer men,
who think that a woman in trousers is
attractive, and DR.. Mary Walker, Lady
Habberton and the few others who
have tried to establish the fashion have
been almost the sole exponents of their
theories.
AS to the corset. Mrs Parker says
there was never one made that was not
hurtful. She claims that it interferes
with arterial circulation, and that so
long as women wear them their brain
power viii not be equal to that Of men,
because the brain is robbed OF its life.
When she says this Mrs. Parker demon
strates the fact that she is not well up in
anatomy.
DR.. Thomas, who is universally ac-
cepted authority upon diseases Of wom-
en-, for all Of which dress reformers in
dict the corset, has this to say: 1T is
quite probable that when God created
woman he did not intend that she
should wear a corset. The indications
are that it was not intended for her to
wear anything. l suppose that Ewes
intercostal and abdominal muscles were
very much fir1ner than those Of the
woman of today, and they had no need
Of support. But the woman Of the Nine
teenth century IS the product of 1000
years of corseJing, and it isn't reasonable
to suppose that she can 60 back to first
principles all at once" Now that seems
very sound logic. IL cur grandmothers
through indefinite generations used steels
and whalebones to hold themselves up,
isn't it reasonable to conclude that We
need some sort of s1nporf2

A BABY'S BODY FOUND.
Buried in an Old Box in the Front Yard OF
a Residence.

Buried in an Old Box in the Front Yard of
a Residence.
While digging a water ditch in the front
yard of 1910 Breckenridge street yester-
day, a workman unearthed an old box from
about a foot under surface. It emitted a
terrible odor. On opening it thers was dis
closed the decomposed body of a baby.
Marshal Cronin was notified, and in COM
pany with Coroner Rockman visited the
place. A careful examination of the body
showed it to nave been shat OF a year old
baby. 1t was so .ar decomposed, however,
that it would have been impossible to have
told the cause Of death. The coroner there
fore concluded that it would have been
useless expense to hold an inquest, and or
dered the body taken to the cemetery.
There we're no external marks of violence
visible on the body. It's coffin was an or
binary soap box. 1t was in the same neigh
borhood that the parents about a year age
burie I their dead child rather than go to the
expense of a funeral. Tn coroner thinks
this is a similar case. For that reason, and
in view of the almost utter impossibility of
fixing the blams on anybody, Coroner
Rockman-says he will not put the county to
the expense of holding inquests in such
cases unless it can be shown that there is
reason to suspect foul play.

SCARED OFF BY WOMEN.

Two Would-be Burglars Who Left Their
Nerve at Home.
There are two ladies' on the east side who
nre not afraid of burglars. 1t the same
time there are two burglars somewhere
around these parts who are very much
afraid of women. In broad daylight on
Thursday they made an attempt to enter
tho rear part of a residence near the inter-
section of Rodney street and Eleventh ave-
nue.. The lady of the house and another
who was with her heard the noise and
started for the back of the house. armed
with brooms, pokers n other useful arti-
,cles of a household. The two men saw
them coming and beat a hasty retreat.
Over fences and across lots they went as if
pursued by Il posse of policemen. They
were seen later on changing their clothes on
a vacant lot, presumably with the idea of
preventing Identification. This, however,
was n useless precaution. as their retreat
was so rapid that they did not give the
ladies a chance to get n description of them.
The police are therefore in possession of no
clue to their identity.

MAJOR CAMPS LECTURE.

He Gets After the Ministers Who Are
Selfish.
Major Camp last night pulled off his coat
and rolled up his sleeves, SO to speak, and
proceeded to skin, as it were, those minis
tiers who have no thought but to build up
their particular church. It is too bad that
the ministers who deserved the remarks
were not there. The major spoke earnestly
and as fearless as ever, and in much better
voice. He declared he would stay in Hell
ena until he had accomplished what he
wished, if he had to work for his board to do
it. The meeting was not as large quite as
the others before, but there was much more
feeling. Ten persons stood mp for prayers,
and several signiiied their intention to join
the Good Templars.
There will be at three O'Clock this after
noon a meeting for children, illustrated by
charts, showing the effects of alcohol on
the brain and system. All are invited to
come and bring their children.
Monday evening at seven O'Clock the
christian members of the Good Templars
will hold a prayer meeting in their hall. All
members and those wishing to join the or
der will be made welcome at this meeting.

about twelve grooves in it, but at present
not more than five ropes are being used t.
convey power to the shafting which, in
turn, by means of a series of belts, drives
the five dynomos now in position. One
great advantage of the rope system is that
there is less liability Of delay and long
