SAVED HER LIFE.

1t Wasn't Gallant in the Big Flag
man, but He Had t. Do Some
thing.
New York Sun.
At the Rosebank crossing of the
Staten Island railway there is big,
powerful and goOd-natured Italian en-
plOyed as fiagman. He is full of fun
and loves to joke with the boys" in the
neighborhood, and in his broken Eng
llsh he can hold his own with the best
of them. Some time ago he began his
career as lfe-saver in the most unro-
mantle and impolite manner possible
A train was approaching, and just as he
began to wave his white flag stout and
elegantly dressed young woman at
tempted to cross the track. He warned
her, but in his excitement he spoke
Italian. She paid no attention to him,
but continued to advance.
There was no time to lose. The big
fellow gave her strong shove, and
fearing she might fall forward OH the
track he emphasized the shove with a
strong and most humiliating kick that
sent the fair one flying through the air.
She landed on all fours in the mud sew
eral feet from the track. The train
thundered by between them. The lady
was saved and unhurt, aud as she picked
herself up she looked as if she didn't
know whether she owed her life to the
extremely impOlite kindness of the flag
man, or whether she had really been
Struck by the engine. AS she hastily
departed the bad boys on the platform
laughed, and the big Italian, looking up
at them remarked:
My kick hard. but can cOwcatch
kick harder, and then by-and-by in a
box. Dam fOOi!'

LOSE LANDS.
The Submersion or Sangir and OF
Expedition Island.

Expedition Island.
San Francisco Call
A few days ago mention was made
of the disappearance in an earthquake of
the principal island of the Sanglr group,
in longitude 125, midway between the
islands of MindanaO and CelebeS. News
comes that Dutch skipper, sailing
along the northwest coast of Australfa,
reports the disappearance of Expedition
island, at the mouth at Collier bay,
in Western Australia.
The island is almost in the same longl-
tude as Sangir island and nearly 2Od
south. AS the sea in which it lies IS
unfrequented by shipping, it is quite
possible that its subsidence, If 1T oc-
Cured, was simultaneous with the sub
mersion of Saugir below the waves.
The Dutch skipper reports that he
sailed over the spot where the island
had been and found eight fathoms OF
water, whereas all around the place the
depth was normal for the Sea of Timor,
say 20 TO 100 fathoms. The island was
thirteen miles long by one mile wide. Ii
was forty miles from the coast OF
Australia.
The whole crust of the globe is prob
ably in motion, changing its relative
level as it gradually adjusts itself to
the cOntractionS of the interior, upon
which it rests. In the north the circum-
polar regions are rising. If we had rec
Ords to guide us we should probably
find that Grant Land, Grlnnell Land,
and Franz Josf'S Land are several
inchesIhigher than when first discovered.
And simultaneously the coast of Green
land in the neighborhOOd Of Disco, is
sinking, so that stakes which were
driven into the beach to moor boats to
are now under water. 1t is easy TO un-
derStand that, without any volcanic
agency, the surface of the earth, rest
ing as it does on foundation which
must be incandescept, must rise and
fall as the action of fire expands and
contracts its subterranean support.
This process has gone on throughout
all time. In the ARABIAN sea, not far
from the mouth of the Indus, the voy'
ayers in the Bombay steamships can
see, when the water is clear, the peaks
and minarets of a drowned city at the
bottom of tie ocean. The steamship
passes over them as they lie in their
watery graves. At some far distant
period that city lived and fiOurished,
probably on the ocean border, and may
have been a place of trade and pros
perity. The hungry waves gradually
rose and rose. capturing street mere
and a square there, until the people
were driven out and the city was
ingulfed. 1t was an illustration on a
great scale OF the action of the agency
which terminated the terrestrial life of
Expe ditiOn island.

ALADDIN's CAVE, PERHAPS.
The Mammoth Cavern Discovered
in n Mine Near Red Cliff, Col.

The Mammoth Cavern Discovered
in Mine Near Red Cliff, Col.
Denver Special New York Sun.
In Eagle county. near Red Cliff, a
number of natural eaverns have been
discovered recently OF great size and OF
wonderful mineral riches. Caves i'll
mining districts are not unusual. Small
cavities have been discovered in num-
ber of rich mines in Colorado. The
Yankee Girl mine, near Silverton. was
first proven a bonanza when a small,
hollow chamber was discovered, the
walls of which were incruSted to depth
of several inches with mineral that
netted several thousand dollars to the
ton. The powders found lying on the
floor of this chamber were also inclosed
by a thick coating of this rich matter.
During the mining boom following
the Leadville discoveries proSpectors
swarmed over all the mountains of
Colorado. and on Battle mountain, near
Red Cliff, a number of valuable mines
were discovered. Among these was the
Percy Chester, in sinking the shaft of
which large cavern was opened. The
walls of this cavity were lined with
rich ore. The excitement over the dis
covery was intense, and prospectors re-
newed their Investigations, hoping some
day to strike one of Dame Natures
treasure rooms.
Last month three men operating the
Little Girls mine on a lease were en-
gagged in slowly driving tunnel into
the mountain through stratum of lime
which they had encountered when they
opened up cave OF magnitude never
before eQualed IN the mineral regions
Of the state. The point where they
opened the chamber was about twenty
feet above the floor of the room. The
dim light of MINERS candle failed to
reveal the dimensions of the cave. By
a careful sounding the discoverers
found the solid floor beneath, aDd, con-
structing a rude ladder, they descended
into the cave.
The main room is about forty feet in
height and 800 feet long. following the
dip and bend of the lime strata. 1t
varies in width from twenty to forty
feet. At one place narrow assure is
found leading away to one side. One
of the men wormed his way through
I this crevice, and found it the entrance
! to a still larger chamber. How far this
cave extends has not yet been deter
mined. In the first or main cave the
foot wall is covered with mass of lime
and iron bOWlderS, dOlOmite sand, and
contact matter of no mineral value.
The walls are incrusted with gyp-
sum. fashioned into the most weird and
fantastic carvings and of rare texture
and coloring. 1t IS marvel of beauty.
Near the narrow fissure leading to the
second chamber peculiar hole was dis
covered in the floor. This proves to be
what miners denominate pot hole or
chimney. 1t is filled with powders and
lime sand. interspersed with other
mineralized matter. The miners have
erected windlass over this hole, and
they will follow the trend of that
chimney in search of mineral that may
be found below the lime formation.

LEFT DEATH AND HAVOC.
Seven Lives Lost at BOles, Ark,
by the Cyclone.

Dy the GyCIOne.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 19.-News
was received here today of fearful cy
clone that swept down Fourche valley
two days ago, leaving death and havoc
in its wake. The news of the terrible
destruction was late in reaching
the outside world on account of the ab
sence OF railroads and telegraphic COM
munication in that part of the state
where it occurred. The town Of Boles,
sixteen miles northeast of Dallas,
Polk county. was almost swept off the
map. Buildings and OuthOuSeS and
fences were blown half mile and scat
tered in fragments. Trees were up
rooted and carried i'll front of the storm.
A number of lives were lost, but a cor
rect report cannot be obtained. 1t is
known seven persons were killed. An
eye witness says that long before the
wind struck the town strange atmO-
shperic phenomena were noticed, and
the people were to some degree pre-
pared for the unwelcome visit
Ors. First the sky became over
cast, and then moaning sound was
heard and finally greenish-cOlOred
cloud was seen rapidly approaching
from the southwest. AS it neared, the
wind sprang up and continued in force
until buildings and trees were unable to
stand against the terrific pressure.
Large houses were lifted off their
foundations as if they were strawS and
dashed to pieces. The path of the
cyclone was half mile in width.

New YORK, April 19.-The news that
Richard Croker had purchased the race
horse LOngstreet was not so much OF a
surprise to racing people and horse
men, yesterday, as was the fact that
Mr.. Dwyer should have sold him, even
at the reported price of $4,000. 1t was
generally supposed that after his career
as a racer was over, the horse would be-
come the property of Milton Young, and
an arrangement to that effect was made
a year ago. But now that Mr.. Croker
has bought the horse before his races
have all been run, that deal is, of course,
off, and MIR. Croker will send him to
Belle Mead. where he will join the
other horses jointly owned by Mr..
