AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY.


An Adventurous Miner Et.n> Onto a Strange
Prehistoric Cay.
Manville W. Cresworth, an English
mining man well known throughout
southwest Mexico. arrived at Mapimi,
Mexico, recently from long overland
journey through the Sierra Madre noun
tains, his starting point being Culican,
near the Pacific coast, in the state Of
Sinaloa. He claims to have visited q
section Of country never before visited
by white man OF the present genera
ton, and that he discovered large and
beautiful deserted city.
He told the correspondent that the
wonderful city is situated about so miles
west of Lake Colorado, in the recesses of
the Sierra Madres. 1t occupies basin
about 10 miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin
on all sides, rising to height of hun
dreds of feet. The only entrance to the
city is through deep canyon, which has
a width of about 80 feet. Mr.. Cresworth
states that he stumbled onto the secret
entrance quite by accident. He gives a
vivid description of the deserted city.
The buildings, he says, are construct
ed Of redstone blocks resembling granite.
The business blocks are two and three
stories in height and are entirely differ
ent in architectural design from the
structures built by the Aztecs and Span
iards. The streets are very narrow, but
are laid out in regular order. In the city
Is small park which is overgrown with
rare flowers and tropical vegetation. He
entered the business houses and decay
ing residences, but found very little Of
value except some remarkable and
strange ornaments made of stone.
He believes that the city was looted at
the time that it was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records or writ
ings Of any kind were found, nor did he
discover any skeleton that would give
an idea as to the race Of people who at
one time inhabited the city. None of the
natives Of that section of country had
ever heard Of the deserted city. Mr..
Cresworth is making diligent inquiry of
them. Mr.. Cresworth's story is very
startling and remarkable, but it is be-
lieved by those to whom he has related
his experiences. He will organize an ex-
petition to make thorough exploration
Of the city.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A NEW SUN MOTION.

Professor Stevenson Has Completed q Won
derful Invention After Years Of Labor.
Professor E. E. Stevenson, a we'll
known educator and writer Of Quincy,
Mass, announces the completion of an
invention on which he has been laboring
for years, which, he says, will revolu-
tionize the present methods Of obtaining
motive power. Professor Stevenson has
pursued his Investigations and expert
ments in Quincy all winter and has at
last brought his idea to head. Profess
or Stevenson said: 1.-THE forces which
have thus far been utilized by the genius
Of man are the laws Of gravitation and
chemical reaction. In the broad field of
research and Investigation we find the
possibilities Of the future in molecular
attraction, musical vibration and the re-
fraction Of light.
ITO understand the theory ON which
have been laboring you must understand
the correlation of forces or the transmu-
tation Of energies. We use force to pro-
duce light. It is upon the reverse Of
this theory that l have labored, and my
experiments are at last proving satisfac-
tory. have found that the heat Of an
ordinary kitchen stove generates energy
sufficient, If controlled, to drive the ma
chinery Of the Pillsbury mills, and the
flames Of q Bunson electric burner would
furnish power to light by electricity 900
lights"
In Professor Stevenson's experimental
machine, however, the heat of the sun
alone has been used. This machine con-
sists Of three brass cylinders connected
by means Of tubes and valves with a
glass reflector behind the central cylin-
der. A piston moving laterally connect
ing with balance wheel gives the mo-
ton. The shaft on which the balance
wheel hangs passes through the end Of
the machine and contains drive pulley,
which makes the force available. This
machine is operated by the sun. working
with great rapidity.-Boston journal.

For many years sandy mound on the
II. A. Maize farm, just south Of this
city, has been known as the hiding place
Of the fox. This winter the animals have
been unusually numerous and created
havoc in the memories. The losses be-
came 80 great that the farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves of the pests.
A large quantity Of dynamite was pur-
chased, and four large charges were put
into the ground. For some reason the
fuses failed to discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried In the mound.
The mound is one Of the most productive
spots on the farm, and as the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he Is In pickle to know what to do,
as he Is afraid to dig into the mound for
fear he may strike the stuff and send
himself to kingdom come. The owner
Of the farm insists that the dynamite
must be found, as he realizes that the
fact Of 1t being buried on the farm is 60
ing to hurt the sale Of the farm or for
ever render several acres of his best land
valueless.-Wooster (O.) Dispatch.

"HE WEARS RUBBERS."
New Slang Phrase Which Has Caught on
In the Metropolis.

In the Metropolis.
During a recent discussion between a
newspaper man and State Senator Owens
Of Brooklyn on the merits of third per-
son the senator said: Why, that man is
no good. He's not even decent. The
fellow wears rubbers."
The newspaper man was at a loss To
understand the senator's meaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in the
slang of the day said nothing. The next
day he approached well known poll
tician and asked him about it.
What does it mean when you speak
Of man as wearing rubbers:' he said.
My boy" said the politician. THAT is
the very latest slang expression. 1t sim
ply means that man is a sneak; that,
6guratively speaking. he approaches you
with muffled feet. If you go into any
police museum in the country, one Of the
things they'll show you is the rubber
shoe that the sneak thief or the assassin
uses. 1t is an ordinary tennis shoe, with
a rubber sole and a canvas upper, and
the only reason it is worn by crooks is
because it gives them an opportunity to
creep up behind their victim without
being heard"
Another new bit of slang is, "He
doesn't cut any ice." 1t simply means
that he or she, whichever sex is referred
to, plays no part. Both Of these expires.
sions are almost brand new, and the
first, at least, is likely to become much
In vogue with people who like to piece
out their vocabulary with slang.-Brook.

Donald hurry. a newspaper man Of
Sydney, has invented and patented de-
vice by means Of which an operator in
New York. with keyboard before him
like that of an ordinary typewriter, can
not only produce typewriter copy in
New Orleans, but. it Is claimed, can op-
crate a typesetting machine here and
deliver his matter thus in lead ready for
the forms. Not only that, but the same
operator, by using a number Of telegraph
lines, can set up the same copy simulta-
neously in a dozen different places. In
this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable Of being relay
ed and are subject to all conditions Of
ordinary telegraphy. The work can be
done with the same speed as an ordinary
typewriter is operated and dispenses with
all clockwork mechanism, synchronous-
ly moving type wheels and other cum
brous devices. 1t is said to be capable
Of manipulating some SO different char
acters.-Press and Printer.

CHAPTER ~.

1t was but few moments after this
that the tall figure of Miss Huntingdon
tripped up the steps Of the Empire bank
into the Office of Grierson & Co., bank
ers and brokers. Not finding the SEN
Tor partner in, she was ushered into his
private roem to wait for him.
Miss Huntingdon, too, knew how the
market was falling. Carlotta was now
at 81. She heard a man in the outer
Office say. There will be nothing left
of Carlotta by night" Miss Hunting
don drummed nervously on the desk
with her fingers and bit her lip. Her
face, far from expressing the satisfac-
ton Griarson would expect to see there,
was pale and anxious. All night long
she had fought her battle. Wavering
between her purpose and the feeling she
experienced for Delafield-for the truth
had been forced upon her that she loved
him-she had worn the long night
through. The woman in her had tri-
umphed-love had gained the fight.
But what now did love avail? The
blow was struck. She read the news in
the later papers with sick heart.
Grierson was doing his work. Della
field would be ruined. Ruined? Was
there no way to save him, even now?
She must see Griersoni
And now she was waiting, oh, so anx-
iously. If there were any way to save
Delafield, she was determined that no
effort on her part should be spared, but
the utter hopelessness of inducing Grier-
son to see matters in any other light
maddened her. Why should he change
when now everything was going his
way? What if
Grierson came in.
'Ah, Miss Huntingdon, you are the
identical person want to see. Been
waiting long? Carlotta is now at 80,
and you will have your wish fulfilled in
q very short time. Delafeld is on the
ragged edge. His loans have been call
ed, and he has been given until Q o'clock
to meet: the advances on his stock.
What little money he has outside of his
Carlotta shares is tied up, and even that
would not suffice him. We caught him
just at the right time. All the morning
have been forcing the stock down by
floating the shares in small lots at a
time. Just as quietly have been buy
ing them back. Delafeld can't help
himself. he can't get any money now,
and he will go down. BY tomorrow
morning at II o'clock he will not have
enough money to buy half a dozen
shares of Carlotta if he wanted them,
for Carlotta Will be on its feet again,
and the work will be done.
And now, Miss Huntingdon, con-
tinued the man Of stocks, lowering his
voice and speaking more slowly, II
have something to say to you ON very

Reprleve for Prendergast.

Prendergast, the murderer of Carter
II. Harrison, did not hang ut the time
appointed. BY an almost unprece-
denied plan of procedure his attorneys
managed late at night to secure him a
fortnight's respite during which jury
will pass upon the question of his san
ity. The federal judges denied their
aid TO Prendergast, and when they an
nounced that they would not grant the
petition for writ of habeas corpus, the
assassin's attorneys renewed their eff
forts by raising the question of their
clients sanity.
The point now raised is that Prem
dergast has become insane since the
trial. SO they applied to Judge Chef
lain and he consented to hear argument
to show that he could properly take up
the matter. 1t was nearly 1890 p. IN.
before the attorneys concluded their
opening arguments and Judge Chetlain
decided that he could rightfully take
the case up. The regular court venire
was then summoned and the jury
selected. Having heard the arguments,
Judge Chetlain announced his decision
extending the time of the execution OF
the sentence two weeks, TO April o.
