I'll tell YOU We furnish charts Of the
coast. These charts are illuminated
with buoys, lighthouses, etc. Now the
New England coast is pretty rocky and
reefv and the bars and rocks are
marked by buoys represented on the
charts by colored inks. One day a Yam
kee skipper was smashed to pieces on
rock and raised a terrible row about
the hidden reef not being laid down on
the chart. The latter came back to our
office and an investigation demon
strated the fact that the reaches had
gained access to the ships papers and
some particular roach had eaten off the
buoy SO smoothly it could only be de-
tected with glass by those who knew
where it ought to be. There was some
thing sweet in the ink. Since that the
charts are kept in tin cases"

In the territory lying south Of Sweet

of San Miguel mountain, comes back
with story of more than usual inter
est. While there he came across He
man c. Cooke, of this city, who has
geological, if not real, mining incli-
nation. and another man. They are at
work on what has already proved to be
something of a surprise, and which
may eventually prove to be very
large sized sensation.
1t appears that in some way Cooke
learned that an ancient road had been
discovered leading from the river level
on the north side to a point near the
summit of San Miguel. He decided to
investigate, but chiefly for entertain
ment at first He took pick and
shovel, established a camp and pre-
pared to make thorough job Of it. AS
| he progressed his interest increased,
for he soon discovered that below the
shifting surface of the mountain side
and under the debris of vegetation a
solid roadbed, well defined and
thoroughly built, ext sted. In places
were large trees, Indicating it's great
age This road was followed we'll up
| into the mountains, and on the way
several branch roads leading off to
different spurs were easily traced. All
along these roads in places Cooke found
pieces of broken rock, which have
given what he believes is the clew tc
the construction of the road. He had
some specimens crushed which assayeo
well in gold and silver.
This was also supported by the fact
that several implements of manlfestly
ancient make have been found, which
are believed to be mining tools. Cooke
thinks he has traced the road to TIT
end, and at that point has found {
mound which he believes is the dump
from a shaft or tunnel, and his present
work is to find the opening which will
lead to the mine. He believes its dis
covery is not far distant, as he ha
narrowed it down to a possible space
of about two hundred feet square.
The conclusion is that this is Al
ancient and rich mine, or the roa(
would not have been made. The dis
coveries are said to be more interest
ing to Cooke because more than one

tain of gold and silver, with tools al

Once upon time q German-Amer-
lean named Felter was keeper Of the
senate restaurant. During a congress
sional vacation he concluded to visit
his relatives in Germany, and naturally
applied to jim Christy, the deputy
sergeant-at-arms, for transportation
across She ocean. In due time the de-
sired passes were forthcoming, and
Felter poclleted them in high glee. A
few weeks later he packed his trunks
and started for Hobol1en, where he en-
barked on board of one Of the German
line steamers. Felter showed his pa
pers to the captain, and was at once
received with open arms. lie was as
signed to the best staterOom on the
vessel, and his cabin was loaded with
flowers. He had the post Of honor at
the table, and the finest casks in the
stewards larder were cracked for his
benefit.
In fact, he was treated as If he was
some great hero, or man Of prominence,
| instead of an ordinary restauratcur.
| Of course, Felter could not understand,

made the best of the situation. Finally

reached, and the passengers We're

The first harps were simply bow
shaped bodies, without pillar com
plotting the third side, The resonance
body was probably light framework
covered with stretched membrane, raw
hide, put on wet and shrunk dry.
There were no more than four or five
strings, and this comprised all the
notes of the instrument. The tones
were probably in the bass register, to
judge from the length of the strings.
The modern harp began to assume a
form something like that of the pres
ent time somewhere in the middle ages,
when it had become the instrument OF
a gentleman, par excellence.

and considerable extravaganza was in
