GOLD MINES.

| gold, all summer stored,

A warmth of gold, all summer stored,
The g%oldenrod gives up,
And filed from springtime's scantier hoard
Shines the sweet buttercup,
And from the singing of the breeze
And low, sweet sound Of rain.
The little brook learns melodies
To sing them back again. -.
Forgotten all the cloudy sky 4
Or dark days overcast;
For flower hearts let gloom go by.
But hold the sunshine fast.
And all year long the little burn,
Though w:ntry boughs be wet,
Picks out the happy days to learn
The sad ones to forget.

LIVE LIZARDS IN THE ROCK.
Little Copper COiored Animals En-.
tOmbcd in the stone for Ages,

Anderson. Ind, July 21--Live lizards
were found in the rock of the LUX &
Talbot limestone quarries north Of this
city yesterday. While the men were
cutting out the solid rock they hit a
series Of pockets. In each one of these
was found a live lizard. They were
taken out. but died few minutes after
being exposed to the air. They were
of peucliar copper color. Although
there were places for eyes, there were
no orbs. biologists state, and it is an
evident fact. that the lizards were liv-
ing thousands and thousands of years
ago, and that they were entombed
when the rocks were formed.
There were no air passages into their
strange homes. and no way in which
they could get any nourshment. One
or two were taken out of the LUX & Tai
hott quarries last week.
