ship Cyrus landed on the island with the
ships blacksmith and spent some time
there engaged IN burning a pit Of char
coal There were 100 persons on the island
ut the time. But all Of the original set
tiers, except Tahitian, the wife Of Fletcher
Christian, who headed the mutiny on the
Bounty, had died. When Hayden left the
island to return 10 the Cyrus, he received
one Of the two Bibles from John Adams,
the grandson Of the mutineerof that name.
They were the Bibles that led to the con-
version of the island and were brought TO
this country as relics of inestimable value.
For years one of them was in the possess
sion Of President Peletiah Perit of the
American Seamen's Friend society of New
York city. The second of the Bibles was
given to Hayden by Mary Christian, the
daughter Of the chief mutineer. This Bible
was given, June 8, 1910, to the Rev. Dan
iel NJ. Lord of the Fort Hill Seamen's s
Bethel Of Boston. Some years agoit went
TO Mrs. Eliza Ann Lord of Buffalo. Ulti-
mately it will be deposited with the Brit
ish Bible society.
When the Bibles were presented to Hay
den on Pitcairn island in 1899, the givers
apologiZed for the rough and neglected ap-
pearance which the two books presented,
saying that all the children had used them
in learning to read. Mr.. Levi Hayden died
in 1888. He was native of Windsor, in
this state, and a cousin Of H. Sidney Hay
den. 1t is through the latter, who died in
Windsor few months ago, that the Bible
which was given to Levi Hayden by John
Adams has now come into the possession
of the Connecticut Historical society
New York Times.

Christmas before the war was the
southern saturnalia, especially in the
river towns. White men, black men,
men of all intermediate compilations,
drank and caroused and burned powder

end Of five years. When that time was
reached congress extended the date of
payment, and again at the end of the
second year. Then a bill was intro

and this passed the house. When it
reached the senate 1t was amended to
cover settlers under the homestead
laws upon all public lands acquired
prior to the passage Of the act from
Indian tribes; and in that form was
passed. The bill was opposed in the
senate on the ground that it was equiv

and that 1t would make a precedent for
the disposal of lands which might
hereafter be acquired by the govern

ten-under-Edge in 1896, and removed
to Bath in 1899. His first treatise on
shorthand, entitled "Stenographic
S~oundhand." appeared in 1897, and he
thus became the originator OF the SPELL
ing reform, to which and the propaga-
ton OF his system Of phonetic short
hand he has devoted his entire atten-
ton since lS43, when the Phonetic So
ciety was established. The seed. which
has produced the present crop of phono-
Graphers was deposited In the public
mind In 1887 by the publication OF q
little quarto book. entitled, "Steno-

Dickens is an iilustrious example.

SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

Little Girl Arises In Her Conn and
Creates Much Excitement.
Washington state is experiencing
many curious religious spectacles. Ia
coma has a baptist preacher, the Rev.
N. IL. Hartman, who has had a VISION
OF hades and refuses to preach to his
congregation unless they profess total
sanctification. and a little girl has Just
arisen from her coffin after having
been apparently dead for three days.
The girls name is Ethel Gillian and
her parents are devout members of the
Tacoma Methodist church. She had
been sick with fever and was pro-
nounced dead some days ago. On
Thursday evening she came to life and
described a visit to heaven. Although
she had good eyesight before apparent
ly dying, she was totally blind after
recovering. But, although blind, she
can read readily by passing her finger
over the printed page. She can also
describe minuetly all photographs
placed In her hands. She says she rec
ognized many dead friends while appa-
rently dead herself. Each wore a crown
and when she asked for one she was
told she had a mission to perform and
must return to life again.
This case has caused renewed excite
ment among the Hartman following,
who profess total sanctifcation. They
became hysterical and frenzied, some
fainting and others screaming religious
passages and praying. One woman
who tainted was walked over and
trampled upon and only a threat to ar
rest the sanctifed ones caused them to
desist and break up the meeting.

WONDERFUL WATER SUPPLY.
A subterranean River That Flows Toward

a subterranean River That Flows Toward
Los Angeles.
In the San Fernando valley. ten or
eleven miles north OF the city of Los
Angeles, exists "A water supply which
Is termed marvellous by those who have
examined 1t, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. In all alfalfa field. oozing
from the ground. come drops Of pure,
fresh water. which, under development
n by collection, increase within q
mile to a mighty stream, flowing 7,OO0.-
600 gallons every t%wenty-four hours.
The water Is neither artesian nor
spring ip character. say A. G. Booth,
the lawyer, and J. Dalzell Brown. the
banker, who recently visited the local
NY. Ii has long been a tradition in the
arid district adjacent to the old San
fernando mission that a sub%terranean
stream flowed from the distant Sierra,
but 1t Is only recently that partial veri-
ncation has been given to this local be-
lief. Below a stratum of twenty feet
OF light soil, says Mr.. Booth. "a mass of
very coarse gravel bearing water is
found. Its depth Is from fifty-seven
TO sixty-fivo feet, and 1t rests upon IA
hard. blue clay that holds the water.
For n mile a fiume has been construct
ed. This ditch is six feet wide and
four feet deep. Built through the coarse
gravel. the water percolates from all
sides into the duct, and steadily in
creases in volume until the daily flow
is claimed to be 1000, 900 gallons. Thus
FAR the water has been conducted
through thirty-inch pipe for a distance
OF seven miles toward Los Angeles. At
points upon the line 1t furnishes
water for irrigation. The ultimate in

IS at present a source of danger, owing
