LEGENDS OF MONSTERS.

A Possible Cause Of t.,r T.t3es That Sur
in En-. -, 5'nil, Lore.
Every reader Of norti,-ccuntry lore
and legend. says an I,nglish paper, is
familiar with the stories of monstrous
''worms." dragons, /" fiery flying SER
pents' and the like, which are said to
have located themselves in various dis
tricts Sexhow, under the shadow of
the Cleveland Hills, Teesgirt, Stock
burn and Lambton upon the Wear are
instances Men have laughed at the
stories, calling them "old wives tales"
but forgetting that even these may
nay. must-have had, somewhere and
sometime, some foundation in fact.
The old stories of elves and fairies,
which amused and frightened children
in bygone days, may well, as Kingsley
points out, have had their origin in
memories of the feeble folk of the
stone age who Clipped fints into rude
knives and arrowheads, and who lin
gered in out-of-the-way caves, it may
be, long after the bulk of them had
been slain or driven away into the far
north by stronger and better armed
tribes. So the stories of these terrible
monsters may not be so foolish as they
appear. Take, for instance, the legend
of the Stockburn worm. The name of
the man who slew it is preserved, and
is that of a well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
ruined church of Stockburn, where
also he lay in effigy with the worm"
at his feet until, the sacred edifce fall
ing into decay, the monument was re-
moved to Stockburn hall adjacent.
There, too, is preserved the falchion or
sword with which the monster was
slain, and which was shown to every
fresh bishop of Durham as he entered
his diocese - a custom which only
ceased in the days of Van Mildret, the
last OF the prince bishops. In field
close by the stone round which the
worn" coiled itself is still to be seen.
This story, so circumstantial in it's de-
tails, can hardly be entirely fabulous.
How then did it rise? 1.-The ichthyo-
saurus and plesiosaurus," says S.
Lang, ''gave Tennyson the dragons of
the prime" May not some descendant
Of these creatures have fingered in re-
mote places, one here. and another
there, even in historic times?

the precipices in the Fraser river canyon,
the train suddenly shoots out into level

Yale is inhabited only by handful OF

Yale is dull enough to-day, but some
thousands of people once lived in the

years ago the few white men in the

in neighboring mountain, and it was
thought that fortunes would be taken
from the gold lead discovered there.
The prospect, however, did not prove to
be what it promised, and the mine was
given up. A little gold is still found
along the river banks and among the
sands near the shore. AS the train
