the trunk, thought something was rat
Ting inside. He instantly came to
the conclusion that the trunk
contained human body. The
trunk was broken open and the
baggagemaster was Mortified to find
the body of a man. The remains were
those of person about 80 years old
The man had a. brown beard, streaked
with gray. On one of his toes was

From century to century, from year

nents are crumbling away and becoming
covered by the sea, which insensibly and
by slow degrees tends to invade and sub
merge the entire globe. On the other
hand, the amount of water on the globe
is diminishing. A careful and reason
