perate means some women resorted to
when needing retl ection. The darky

sigh of satisfaction, gathered up the
utensils he had employed and 6isap-
peared into the bank just as three
ladies' turned the corner on a semi
gallop to catch a cable train which had
already reached Broadway.
Strange to say, they made no attempt
to stop the train. The bright convex
brass surface, glistening in the occa-
sional burst OF sunshide, focused their
attention, and iu just three seconds

IRREPRESSIBLE NEW MEMBER

The new member of congress, as a
rule, is decidedly "nsw" in the strictest
sense of the word. He ia an important
individual, indeed. About the first
thing he does when he strikes town is
to visit the clerks office and see if his
name is on the roll. Then he visits
the various departments just to let the
officials know he is in town and is a
full-aedged member of congress. If

arrivals are from his district. He then

duced to Senator German the other
day, and this is what followed:
''Ihis is Mr.. Gormap, Mr.. JONES'"
said the gentleman in charge of the
"new" member.

"Gorman," replied the distinguished
Marylander.

Like any other legend, the Egyptian
tale OF Atlantis is pro ably exayger-
ated. Ths Azores are undoubtedly
remnants of large island, but nothing
of the size recorded in Plato. The
deep-sea soundings made of late years
reveal the fact that the sunken land
was connected through long isthmus
or "bridge' on one side with South
America, and on the other with
Africa, while third isthmus
stretched towards the British
islands. Thus we see that
America, Europe and Africa we're at
our time connected with each other,
but this connection was afterwards de-
stroyed by some awful catastrophe.
The higher peaks of the destroyed land
escaped, but they reveal nothing
There are no traces of high culture on
the Azores, and noue on the numerous
West Indian islands, bnt il we cross
them aud put our foot on the soil of
Central America we meet with rem
nants Of such ancient civilization that
it almost bewilders US. We see cities
80 Cid that their age can be only i'm
agined-stupendous ruins, as if made
by the hands of Titans; sculptures
more elaborate than those of Assyria;
images as mysterious as the silent
Sphinx; pyramids larger than those of
the hoary Egypt; hieroglyphics which
perhaps will never be deciphered. We
tread on a soil of such radiancy that
the Biblical Eden could not be more
beautiful, and we meet with remnants
of ancient people who even now pre-
serve dim traditions OF their glorious
past. In Southern Mexico and Gem
tral America, and not on ths Azores,
we have to look for Plato's Atlantis.
The vast continent which "surrounds
the true ocean," solves the problem.
The traditional history of Yucatan
represents the peninsula as forming a
powerful monarchy, the mighty Maya
empire, whose rulers reared magnifi-
cent cities. palaces and temples. In
later times the empire was broken up
by civil wars and dissension, the civil
ization perished, the cities and palaces
were abandoned and converted into
ruins, of which the most ancient and
famous is Palenque, resembling the
monuments of old world.
In Guatemala, on the shore Of the
beautiful Lake Atitlan, where now
stands the town of Solola, there existed
in prehistoric times an opulent city.
Tecpan Atitlan, and not far from it are
the ruins of the ancient Patinamit, that
is "the city," the Cakchiquel capital.
Northeastward from Quezaltenango
was Utatlan "road of the waters" the
Quiche capital and stronghold, the
city famous far and wide by its mag
nificence, and even during the con-
quest the Spaniards found it to be the
richest south of Mexico. The con-
Meeting link between the Mexican and
Central American ruins is Militia, or
Miquitlan, Mictlan, famous religious

more ancient "atl," and as atl means in
Nanue "water," "great water" we have
here in 4 nutshell the name of the
ocean that is Atlantic ocean.
The root tia. or atl, occurring so
often, it brings US one step nearer as
to where Atlantis was situated. It
was evidently in Central America, for
merly connected with the old world
by an isthmus, or "bridge' of the
Central American traditions. The
high, though perished, civilization of
Yucatan and neignboring countries
corresponds with the description Civ
en- by Plato and obtained from Egypt;
the mag ,iticent ruins can rival ami
ever surpass those of the old world,
aud the sculptured symbols and
images, for instance, of ele-
plants, show the great antiquity of
the Central American civilization.
Elephants are found only in the fossil
state in America, and even il they
were sculptured after the pattern OF
the old world, it must have been done
in the very earliest dawn of mankind.
According to the Egyptian tale of
Atlantis, the great island, or rather the
isthmus between Africa and America
was destroy ed by cataclyem long be-
fore the deluge. The deep-sea sound
ings prove that connection or an
isthmus existed; about its destruction
The herald., 1896-01-05

In the Critias the empire and chief
city of Atlantis is described with
wealth ef detail, and the descent of the
royal family from Atlas, son of Nep-
tune, and nymph of the island, Is set
forth.
Besides Plato, Theopompus of Chios.
historian of the fourth century, and
the celebrated Plntarch mention a con-
tinent beyond the Atlantic.
In this tale of Atlantis it is plainly
shown that somewhere westward of the
strait of Gibraltar there existed in pre-
historic times very large island from
which the sail RS could reach many
other isles and continent which sur
rounds the true ocean, that is the At
lantic. The island. called Atlantis, was
afterwards submerged or destroyed by
earthquakes, and since that time all
traces Of il were lost.
lnnumerable enthusiasts, ancient
and modern, among the latter the most
prominent being Ignatius Donnelly,
endeavored to prove that the islands of
Azores, are the remnants of Atlantis.
This theory, no matter how ingeniously
put forth, is, however, very vague.
Plato says that the inhabitants of At
lantis were highly civilized. IF SO,
then on the Azores we would find
traces of their culture. but the fact is
that no such traces are to be found,

center often mentioned in the ira
dlt'onal annals of the Zapotecs. Tho
name means "place of Sadness" and
even now if Mexican passes near the
ruins he will never enter them, but
crossing himself denotedly, will mur-
mur: "This is dwelling of the dead"
The buildings of Militia were in ruins
when the Spaniards came, but never
theless their antiquity, they are the
finest in the whole Nahua territory.
In Southern Mexico and Central
America, especially Guatemala, we
meet with cities and localities whose
names are of great Importance.
though it seems thAf mis- fact has been
com mpletely oveclpoked Besides At
titan, Utatlan, Militia or Mictlan, al
ready mentioned, we fiud the names
such as Petatlan, Anthlan, Tzspotlan,
TenhitlaD, Totlan, Tenshtitlan, Cnz-
catlau, Utlatlan, Amatitlan aud even
Allan and many others. In all these
names we have tho root "tla," or tha
