When he got home, he found that mis-
little boy had set the lamp in all uppen

Every stormy night altcrward, that samej

Ir few moments cloud of dust hid

rainfall is dissipated by the hot dir, and
even the tremendous storms in Armogoza

mile in width a mile around the end of
the range and thence northward, never
moisten the dry earth. The flood is
dried up and lost before it has penetrated
many rods into the ovenlike section.
At the south end Of the valley are
some deep pools, fed by wonderful
underground springs. They never over
flow, nor is it known that their level
ever changes. Silent, dark and lonely,
they are like great brown eyes looking
up from the ghastly white stretch of
horror. In them are found fish unknown
elsewhere in the world, and which have
no eyes. Surrounding the valley are
other remarkable natural features. Sixty
miles southeast is the Devils playground,

SHAMEFUL IGNORANCE.

It is sadly surprising the amount OF isnor-
ance in regard to. the Bible which exists
among churcll-mcmbers. A friend declared
that he could not hold Bible-meeting
amorc his women. because they were so e1-s
tirely ignorant of the Bible-looking for
Hebrews in the Old Testament. This dis
cour- ging condition is widespread. An e1-s,
change says: 81
1--WE dropped into Christian Endeayors

churches in Boston the other eI entng Ihe

not make this glaring mistake, turned the

no means peculiar to the church mentioned.'

Apropos to the above Is added: GA young
pulpit orator, sent out from very popular:

He became a member of the Federal
Council in 1886, and since then he has
been elected to the highest office of that
little republic five times-in leGs-72'7o-
SO-S4 and now for the year 1891.
Welt in politics belongs to the Center,
with pronounced tendency to favor the
Right or the Conservative party, although
he may be better styled an Opportunist,
being flexible to the exigencies of cir
cumstances in order to carry his points.
He is very reserved in matters OF re-
ligious character, prudent in all his
actions, and an active, energetic and
Jealous statesman. He is the inspirator
of the moderate party and enjoys the
sympathy of the majority OF the Federal
Chambers. He is very dignified, OF re-
fined manners, and as much an observer
of strict etiquette as if he had been born
and raised among princes. Nevertheless
he is affable and of easy approach. Al
though not as brilliant an orator as
Ruchounet, his eloQuence is admirable,
and as fnancier he is regarded as the
best in Switzerland.
In appearance DR.. Welt is a hand
some man of imposing stature and noble
bearing. He resembles Bismarck and
has many of his traits. For this re-
senblance he is known as the Little
Bismarck"

Ruins OF THE PUEBLO.

RUINS OF THE PUEBLO. q.
lava ana hot sand of the plain radiate
the heat of the sun, so that look
ing down from some eminencc
the whole landscape is tremulous
to the eye, and seems instinct with
life. Near this is Dead Mountain, where
the temperature is 14O degrees in the
shade the year round. On the east side
the precipitous rocks are much broken
up, and the sun shining on the white
points and angles make the mountain
look from distance as if whcle conven-
tions Of ghosts were there assembled.
The Indians believe on this account that
the place is the abode of their dead war
riors. Hence its name, and the mystical
tales which are connected with it.
But Death Valley is not to remain
terra incognita. The United States
Government has planned an exploration
which will, if such thing is possible,
lay bare its secrets. Two parties will
90 into the valley from opposite sides,
and the Department of agriculture will
have the fruits of the expedition ar
ranged at Washington and shown as
warning and study. Especial atten-
tion will be given the animal life of the
valleys cnvirons, and if any living
thing exists in the place itself specimens
will be obtained: Experts will collect
plants, woods, rocks, soil, and indeed
everything possible. The explorers will
carry an abundance Of supplies, and will
net venture into the valley until they
have accurately located springs and
streams, so that they can reach them in
case of necessity.
Perhaps among the wonders of the
strange region none is more noteworthy
than the legend of the ruins of pueblo
or castle, said by the Indians to exist in
Death Valley, and which may have been
the four miners oasis. Long ago, SO the
tale runs, Death Valley was fertile
kingdom presided over by beautiful
and fair.haired queen. She commanded
her subjects to build her q mansion, and
for years they toiled, dragging stones and
wood across the level space between the
mountains and the chosen site. As the
palace neared completion her Majesty
grew impatient, and at last pressed even
the princess, her daughter, into the SER
vice of the builders. Then, because the
workmen seemed slow, she strobe among
them and lashed their naked backs with
a heavy whip.
The laborers dare not complain, but
when she struck her daughter, the slen-
der girl, reused to wrath, cursed her
mother and the valley. immediately dv-
ing as result of the severe tasks she
had been made to perform and the abuse
heaped upon heI. The sun never ceased
thenceforth to pour its 6ercest rays upon
the kingdom, and it was made desert.
and the Queen and her subjects died OF
thirst and heat. The pueblo, parched
and baked, stands half completed, and il
the almost constant mirage which floats
over the valley its dim outlines, white
and ghastly, are reported TO be often
visible.

Wild with hope they toiled on, intend
ing to push up to one of the gorges that
reached into the valley from the west,
at the head of which they hoped to find
a spring. But they did not know which
to seek, and after toiling to the head of
one, and finding nothing but bare and
parched rocks, one of the party went
mad with heat, and they we're forced to
abandon him. Before night two more
land down to die, and the solitary sur
vivor was clambering the rocks with
feverish heat, endcavoring to escape from
the alkali sink in which his friends had
perished. They did not need burial.
Their bodies shriveled upto mummy Like
forms, and may lie where they fell
through all eternity, staring up at the
braZen sky. The miner at last reached
civilization a mere skeleton OF his former
self. In 1878 Il party OF emigrants were
crossing the plains on the way to south
crn California. Arrived at the mountain
range they saw three great chains
stretched out before them, the lnyo and
the Argus Mountains forming the most
westerly one, the :Paramint being next
to the east and the Armagoza the third,
still farther east and nearest them. East
of the Armagoza range is the Armagoza
desert and to the west Death Valley.
They struggled across the former stretch
of sand and catus, and the horses were
nearly worn out when they pulled into
the awful region of the latter. They
had not gone far when the animals grew
too weak to pull the wagons. With a
heroism worthy of the occasion, the un-
married men put the women and their
husbands on the best horses and sent
them over the back trail. believing that

That is very good. Now. Captain, my
plan is simply this. We will tonight
get the boats in good shape and have
everything ready. The first night that it
is foggy and dark We will fill the boats,
and With muf1ed oars proceed to the
Xenophon. Once alongside of her it is
ensy enough for our men to climb among
the chains and reach the deck. You have
blacksmiths?"
Yes, one.
And several others who can pound
iron, have you notf
Yes"
Then we must have them get to work.
What doing?"

mnst be armed with cutlass."

Your carpenters can assist in putting

sWe have few cutlasses and swords.

Captain Alton was anxious for nIgh'
