pearance of a view seen through glass
and by an artificial light, and there
was also a slightly wavering motion
about it such as sweeps over a stereop-
ticon representation when the screen
on which it is projected is agitated..
Through the field-glass nothing was to
be seen but cloud-banks and mountain
ridges, and bounding cascades spark
ling in the sunshine's slanting rays.
That was ALL. and there before me
lay the unreal reality of the FL Dorado
of the Columbian era, wondrous phe-
nomenon of which the world is yet pro-
foundly ignorant. Raleigh's fabulous
FL Dorado, to verify my suspected iden-

rible hardships and dangers from fam

knew what it really was-a vision
of beauty and fabulous wealth, but
only a vision. Unsubstautial as its sis
ter, the bow in the clouds, unreal were
its treasures after which generations
had hunted as those which legendary
lore located at the soot of the prismatic
arch.
And fleeing as the bow was this
wondrous vision, for soon, even whilst
] gaZed upon it in the ecstasy Of won
der that it evoked, it grew palely indis-
tinct and gradually faded from view
even as has e. Dorado from the belief
and almost the memory of mankind.
On my return to Georgetown, smitten
with the fever of that malarial region,
the story of my remarkable discovery
was received with cold shrug, and
unveiled sarcasm was the sole reward
rendered for my lost time and jeop-
ardized health. ''Whatr' exclaimed an
old oolonist, one of the scientific lights
of the &. A. and c. society. What

ing before the mysterious Mount
Roraima and the Kaieture falls, which
is the highest fall of water on the face
of the earth. Everybody here knows
all about it."
But" 1 weakly protested, show,
then, is it not known of outside of the
colony?"
''Ohi" he replied, with a comprehen-
sive sweep of the arm, ''but everybody
knows about it,
so, indeed. But how do you account
for the appearance"
well, like the echo Of the woods,
this singular creation of nature is de-
pendent for its existence on peculiar
~ delicate combination of local condi-
tons, and will continue to recur
through the ages as long as those con-
ditions last. Although not really a
mirage in the ordinary significance of
the word, the appearance is an equally
phenomenal combination of cloud,
mist, excessively rarified atmospheric
strata and genuinely miragic refec-
ton of distant mountain peaks and
ridges, the tops of forests and sand
hills. You were fortunate to see it,
though, for the atmospheric conditions
are not frequently favorable. Yes, he
concluded, Il never thought of that
before, but probably the myth of FL
Dorado did originate with this mirage"
The Guianese hold the belief that
their Fata Morgana is as well known
as that of Reggie, but as l have never
met with anyone out of the country
who had heard of it, the presumption
is strong that to many readers this
narrative will bring the knowledge of
yet another wonder Of the world.

81 shall never forget" said one of the
Oldest members of the Marion County
Bar association recently, "a spirited
little affair which occurred many years
ago in the Clay county court while
Judge Bowers was on the bench and
the court in session. The participants
Were Daniel w. Voorhees, and Solomon
Claypool. Something had been said in
argument by Mr.. Voorhees, which had
aroused the anger of Mr.. Claypool,
who, when he secured an opportunity,
heaped the bitterest anathemas upon
his antagonist. Attorney Voorhees,
Immediately sprang toward Attorney
Claypool and struck him in the face.
Then the trouble became altogether
demonstrative. They punched, gouged,
tore each others clothes, tipped over
chairs and tables, utterly lost to the
gravity OF the situation in which they
had placed themselves in the presence
of the court. Suddenly and stimuli
taneously they apparently came to
their sober senses, and looked up to the
bench. They were somewhat aston
ished to find the judge, with his back
to them. innocently engaged in reading
a newspaper. They began to apologize,
when they were calmly interrupted by
Judge Bowers with the remark: Why,

had plans to be talked over, but when
the hour for dinner arrived, no Carlisle
appeared, and when he was sent for he
sent word that he had no object in
coming and did not feel enough inter
esbed IN the proposed measures
TO put in an appearance. Con-
sequently, the financiers ate their
dinner without the cabinet officer. and,
according TO report, deep laid scheme
was formed to eInbarrass him as much
as possible. All that he proposed to
relieve the treasury was ridiculed, and
the money powers, democratic as we'll
as otherwise, became actively hostile
to him. When the sugar schedule was
prepared, Cariisle's connection with it
was suddenly revealed by them out of
pure revenge, and if Carlisle can be
ruined by Wall street he will be.

This idea is imported from abroad,
and Is said to work very well there.
According to such a method, there
would be no such thing as collision
between the criminal classes of city
and the police, for, while each munich
patty would have local superintend-
ent, or chief of police, he would be
controlled by independent authorities
and thus kept free from corruption.
The plan Is being kept as quiet as pos

likely that when the truth leaks out
there will be storm of protest.

Curious Springs.

There are several springs along the
range of the Allegheny mountains that
are great curiosities. From these
springs & very considerable current Of
air passes constantly, sufficient ct any
time to blow handkerchief out of a
persons hand, unless it is held very
tightly. These phenomena have never
been explained, but it is generally be-
ieved that they indicate caves, and
that the breeze comes from the internal
air passages. The best known of these
is called Bowling springs, and is at the
foot OF Lookout mountain about SIX
miles from Chattanooga This is

An interesting revelation Of what

by the financiers of New York for
John G. Carlisle, and trap in which
his advisers permitted him to fall, is
now agitating We'll street. 1t seems
that the complications began as far
back as last winter, when the secretary
proved very unamenable to Wall street
influence. He was always unwilling to
communicate with the bankers of the
vreatest city of the country and had
lntnnations conveyed TO them of that
fact in no gracious way.
The crisis came on one occasion
when the secretary arrived unexpect-
edly in New York with his family and
put up at the Fifth Avenue. hotel. a
number of bankers became aware of
his presence, and Conrad n. Jordan
and three bank presidents hastily
arranged a little dinner 10 which he

when the emperor passed down the

Police Discipline.

The most startling report ever put
into circulation regarding the police
department of New>York is one which
is said to emanate from Thomas Byrnes
himself, although he has denied that
he is responsible for it. There is prof
ect on foot to SO reorganize the force
that its government will practically be
accomplished at Albany. The recent
agitation regarding discipline is said to
be mere blind, and before another
year a police commission for the whole
state will be brought into existence,
and all the forces of the state will be
under the control OF one board, with
headquarters at the capital of the COM
monwealth. This board will be COM

Ing in contact with the greatest OF
living inventors, Thomas A. Edison,
have been aware of the fact that he
seems distracted and not as cheerful
as once was his wont. This was long
attributed to the enthusiasm and
thoroughness with which he devotes
himself to his scientific studies, but at
last the truth begins to be perceived
1t seems that his domestic life is not
happy one. For some reason his wife
has grown dissatisfied with the fact
that his Investigations in chemical and
scientific departments of endeavor
leave him very little time to devote to
her, and, as a consequence, there has
been something like inharmony. This
state of affairs was recently alleged to
be SO tense that something like a sepa-
ration would ensue, but the inventors
friends are angry at the statement
thus sown broadcast, and declare that
nothing of the sort is TO be anticipated
However, the existing condition of
things brings out more clearly than
ever the fact that men of genius seem
unable to achieve domestic happiness
Their wives are never satisfied when
they give all their time to the occupa-
ton of their lives-no doubt because
they consider themselves more worthy
of attention than any other object in
life, no matter how lofty.
