edge of the future. A late instance OF
what used to be common form of div.
ination was reported in one of the
London newspapers at the time when
there was war between England and
Ashantee. The king of Ashantee con.
suited his fetish men IN order to find
out from them what his future fate was
to be and the result of his opposition
to the English. He. therefore, after
having resorted to various means
without success, ordered two he goats
to be selected and brought before him,
one entirely black, the other of a
spotted white color. This was done.
and after due fetish ceremonies had
been performed over the two goats,
they were set at each other. The
white goat easily overcame and killed
his opponent Koffee Calcalli, after
this test, was satisfied that he was
doomed to defeat at the hands Of the
white man. He Immediately sent an
embassy to Sir Garnet Wolsely to sue
for peace.

Der 1t would no doubt have been pos
sible to make our way out in the usual
manner, but it was too late TO think of
that now. There was no course open
but to go on, so said nothing about
our terrible mistake to my wife, who
had not noticed the noise, being in
front and absorbed by the spectacle be-
fore her.
AS regards the modus operandi Of the
wondrous mechanism by means OF
which the passage was opened and
closed, can only offer my opinion, ar
rived at after much subsequent refec-
ton on the subject. In some incom-
prehensible way the moons rays, in
tensified or otherwise affected by the
lenses, are ably to act on some hidden
machinery - probably hydraulic - to
such an extent that the huge block Of
stone is won't to fall and rise periodi-
cally at certain seasons, dependent on
the lunar phases OF course this is
mere surmise, but It seems to be the
simplest way of accounting for the
phenomena we witnessed. l am thor

absolutely breathless, on q heap OF
beautifully soft sand under the star-lit
sky.
AS may be supposed, long time
elapsed before we came to ourselves
after this last fearful experience.
What we had gone through before was
bad enough, but nothing could stand,
or even approach. the awful sensation
of falling through darkness, in momen-
tary expectation Of being destroyed in
some terrible manner.
When we were once more sufficiently
collected to look about us with some
thing like composure found chat we
had emerged in the temple of the
Sphinx 1t was almost Inconceivable
that we could have come all that dis
lance underground. but the inconrest-
able fact remained that we had done
so. The great block of stone which
yielded so readily to my foot bad fallen
back irZo it's original position, and was
indistinguishable from the rest It
was impossible, therefore. to tell which
one it was. though l tried for some
time to identify it.
Thus ended this most extraordinary
adventure. Sometimes it seems to me
like dream. and the few people to
whom we have related it have invari-
ably been politely iEcredulous- The
queens ring however remains. It is
unquestionably genuine relic of the
ancient times, and experts all unite in
assigning to it an age that is almost
