The sources OF information as to the

vague; but from q paEugeuf Xenophon
giving the number Of Families as 10 ,0o0
and from passage Of Athsnaeus indi-
eating the proportion OF sfases to free

II may be calculated that at that epoch
the population OF Athens. including
that OF PiIasus. was about 10000. The
area included within tho walls ok both
towns seems rathar to confirm this es-
innate. The surrounding country was

The City j. Nearly - Populous Esw -
Ever In It's History.
, Ancient Athens spread round the
Acropolis, especially on the hills fac
ing the south, which are now uninhab-
ited. The new town lies TO the north OF
the antique citadel-an extension of the
cluster of houses elready existing at
the foot of the rock when the war was
ended. Two main intersecting streets
were laid out-Eolus street, starting
from below the Acropolis and running
nortlrward, and Hermes street, leading
from the royal palace toward ths
Piraeus. The capital was thus designed
TO lie in the valley between the Acrop-
oils on the one side and Mount Lyon
bettus on the other. No ambition of
future development is traceable il the
original plan. The ground chosen and
the width of the main streets tend to
show that the founders Of tine new city
little dreamed Of its rapid extension.
Squeezing herself out of her narrow
confines, the city has gradually scaled
the foot of Lycabettus and spread be-

pally in a southweSterly direction. II
The extension had been IN straight line
toward the sea. Athens would now be
nearing a junction with the Piraeus;
but both towns, as If avoiding each
other, extend in parallel lines, and one
must look TO probably distant future
for the day when they shall be con-
nected by rows of houses, instead Of
long walls Of ancient days.
The fashionable quarters of the CAPT

We wonder whether any statist OF
any doctor IN great practice knows &C.
cuNte,y whs&ler there is any positive
increase among the educated classes in
the number of sudden deaths, by which
we mean deaths without any recovery

fancy may only he born of the special
notice one accortis TO such events;
end we fancy also this time with more
certainty that there is a marked change
in the manner IN which such incidents
are regarded. Forty ysars ago every
body who heard of death among his
scquatntances, like THAI OF the arch
bishop of Canterbury, deemed it incurn-
bent opan him to profess and in many
cases actually felt sort Of horror.

frankly say openly: "Hew terrible for
the erchbishep's relations, but how fop-

ing or shivering of the mind seerns,
in fact, to have been transferred TO tho
deaths after long suffering, and IL is
not uncommon to hear men aelxnosvl-

REDIscovERY OF ANicE LEDGE.
- NATURAL Formation That Has Again
Been Found An Virginia.


ton out of. q wonderful ledge OF ice
which has been found there. Why il
does not melt under thewarm Virgins
climate is a mystery.
This natural aes house is situated OF
the north side OF Stone Mountain. and
about six mixes from the mouth Of a
small stream known as Stony creek.
The marvel is said to have been known
to at least one OF the early settlers, a
Mr.. Danrldge, WHO, it is alleged, dis.
covered it while deer hunting away
back in 1880. :.
Owing to the fact that the land on
which 1t was situsted could not be
bought, Mr.. Danridge positively re.
fused to tell of the whereabouts CT the
ice ledge. He only visited the place
when it was absolutely necessary to
obtain supply.of iceto be used in case
OF sickness.
The old man-diedsmany years ago.
and from that time the location OF
l"Danridge's Ice Mine" was unknown,
the old gentleman having never even
taken his own family into the secret.
Recently, however, party of herb
sdiggers visited the unfrequented re.
gion contingent to Stone mountain
and discovered the lost ice mine. Dur.
ing two or three months in the middle
Of the summer the ice is only protected
from the suns rays by, thick growth
of moss.
The formation Of the ice layeris sim.
iilar to that of coal vein, being thin in
xome places and thick in others, the
average thickness being about four
feet Persons of some scientific attain.
ments who have visited the place for the
purposeof studying thewonder say that
it has the appearance of having been
there since the time of the ice inge.-
