Primitive Illumination.

From the moment when people ceas-
Ell to observe the regular bedtime Of
animated nature and began TO sit M
nights. there began a new era in hui.
man affairs. We don't know mucl,
about the Palcolithic man who hunt.
ed bears. r~hinoceroses and such small
deer about our primeval forests; GER
tainly not enough to say whether he
used lamps or candles, or perforcc con
tented himself with the rudy glow o.
the fire, around which he would sit
with his family. toasting mammotli
marrow or grilling hyena steaks or
other tOOthsOme mOrsels.
Perhaps our primitive man was TOO
fond OF fat as an article of diet to care
to waste 1t in experiments, else he
might easily have invented the rush
light, SO simple and primitive lit, and
still made and used in primitive house
holds such as you find now ana then
among the Welsh hills.
A bundle of dried rushes dipped sew
eral times In melted mutton fat. there
is all the process, and a capital minia-
ture torch Is the result, which the most
boisterous winds can hardly extin-
guish. Now. something Of this kind
our primitive man may have known
how to make. II he had not arrived at
his muttons the fat of the cave bear VI
the bison might have served his turn.

DUNGEONS OF PHILADELPHIA,
Cells Just Discovered Said to Have
Been Built 500 Years Ago. Is

Cells lust Discovered Said to Have
Been Built 500 Years Ago.
An old English dungeon has been
brought to light by the tearing down
OF a building in the rear Of a pickle
factory on Spruce street, below Second.
The building Ia thought to have been
more than 800 years old. Every brick
in it was brought from London, and the
building was ono the pride Of the little
colony that lived here. 1t was original
", it is said, the courthouse Of the set
Element, and underneath the ground
were those dungeons, or cells, In which
prisoners were kept. 1t Is supposed
that the cells were used az temporary,
places Of confinement and not for pris-
oners serving long terms. much TIA
same as the "lockups" or station houses
of to-day. The workmen who are tear
Ing down the building say that it Is the
toughest job they ever Undertook. The
bricks stick together Is though a solid
stone, and 1t il only after long prying
with a bar that they are separated.
The bricks themselves r as solid A.
in the days of old, and will be used
again in another building.
The old prison or courthouse was in
the neighborhood well known to be the
oldest in the city. Other big buildings
hemmed it around until 1t was hidden
entirely from sight from the street. 1t
was a %three-story structure, about 70
by 30 feet In size. The first floor was
originally used for court purposes. but
later had been turned into a dwelling.
For fifteen years 1t has not been used
at all. Leading down stairs to the cell
lar was a flight OF broad steps. The
cellar itself during the years that have
passed and gone had become half filled
with dirt. In fact, nobody knew of the
existence of the dungeons, that now see
the light of day after three centuries.
The dungeons SO far discovered are
three in number. Two are about ten
feet square and the other extends TWEEN
ty feet toward the street and is about
ten feet wide. All are half filed with
debris. but are deep enough for a man
to stand erect in. The roof is vaulted.
and in the top Of each is a hole. which
may have been a breathing place or 4
place through which to let down food
to the prisoners. Near the cells is 4
big chimney place fully eight feet wide,
in which We're found a handful of coins
bearing date of 1927 and some Of much
more recent date.
n old house has been burned "nt
several times. but the walls were never
damaged much. The whole neighbor.
hood Is an interesting one. The build
Ing adjoining the one torn down has q
fourth floor which is windowless. III
stead of the usual windows it has port
holes slanting downward, from wl,ic,
lin days Of old. when knights were
bold.' men probably picked off Indians
or enemies Of some Observation-Disclosures
Press.
