A SINGULAR PHENOMENON.
Queer Sounds Issuing from Underground
on the shores of the Red Sea.

Queer Sounds Issuing from Underground
on the shores of the Red Sea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Red sea at place
called Nakous, where the intermittent
underground sounds have been heard
for an unknown number of centuries.
1t is situated at about half miles dis
tance from the shore, whence long
reach Of sand ascends rapidly to a
height Of almost three hundred feet.
This reach is eighty feet wide and re-
sembles an amphithcater, being rallied
in by low rocks. The sounds coming
up from the ground at this place occur
at intervals of about an hour. They
at first resemble a low murmur, but
before long there is heard loud
knocking, somewhat like the strokes
of a bell, and which, at the end of five
minutes, become SO strong as to agitate
the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the
Arabs is that there is convent under
the ground, and these are the sounds
of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means bell. The Arabs affirm
that the noise SO frightens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious. Scientists attribute the sounds
to suppressed volcanic action-prob-
ably to the bubbling of gas or vapors
underground.

with significant look at Holland, who
had wolf stories to spare.

hands over his knees and his eyes fixed

The sound of the wind in the pines
outside stirred through the silence
with a somber note, and Holland
stirred up the fire in the vast fireplace
till 1t roared louder than the wind.

the ashes out of his pipe and putting II

whole river had been ransacked and
every favorable river point stripped Of
its timber before the movement back
into the forest began. From short
hauls and heavy timber the movement
was toward long hauls and smaller
timber Each year the attack widened
as wen as heightened its battle line
against the pines.
Twoyouug boys from La Crosse coun.
ty in 1859 pushed up the river to Gin,
ny Bull falls and being attracted by
old Mosiuee mountain planted their
camp at its foot and set about prepara,
tlons for winter. They We're be-
yond any other camp so far as they
knew, and when they blazed out a
trail in September they had before
them great deal Of stern labor
They had hay to cut in the marshes,
wood to clear out and shanties to build.
They were sturdy young fellows, OF
that indomitable sort raised up IN
America to do such work in face OF
everything.
Holland was u bridegroom of only
three months duration, and his wife
was expected to be the cook for the
camp when the SHOWS came and work
OF logging actually begun. He was a
tall, young fellow, with a broad, fiat,
but powerful, chest, very erect and
active.
Miller, his companion, was a short
man, inclined to be fat when food and
sleep were plenty. lie was forever
grumbling, and yet was great joker
He assumed great airs at times, and
told how well he lived at home. This
he did when it would embarrass the
cook. He was, in fact. a comedian.

out during u severe sickness which

grumbled about Hollands cooking
more and more.

Miller turned his slap-jack over twice
before he cut it and began eating.
"Seems to me these things git leath-

mistaken
lie worked his jaws meditatively on
the problem.
"All in y'r eye; they're right up to
high-water mark. You're 4 little off
y'r feed, I guess-Lampers down or
something"
In secret Holland was a little bit
worried about his partner. He
changed the subject. II heard a rifle

"No; the Doe. wouldn't be up here
so soon as that. It's some other

Miller took little interest in this, but
worked away stubbornly on his slap

and his eyes distended.

Holland turned to the window, and
saw the huge furry head, alert ears and
pointed muzzle of a bear, wistfully
looking in.
"The rifle" he whispered.
Miller raised his hand to feel for the
rifle ON the wall behind him, but the
bear vanished so silently and swiftly
10 was hard to think there had been a
bear there at all.
AS Miller leaped for the rifle Holland

rounded shadow, shambling swiftly
away.
"Quiclsl There he goes, fre!"
Miller pulled up and fired at the
vanishing shadow. And, like the echo
Of the shot, came another report from
the edge of the clearing and cry
from man beyond the circle of light.
