1t was at Luzon, the largest of the

spirit, though under scientific i'm

his far-famed exploration Of the crater
of Tael, volcano on the Pacific coast
of the island, In a region inhabited
only by savages. Crossing over to the
capital city of the island during one of
the long delays of Chinese diplomacy,
he procured an escort Of natives from
the Archbishop Of Manila (by means Of
letters from American prelates which
he had secured before leaving home),
and, in company with his friend Baron
Loe, relative of Metternieh, pene-
trated the country to the asphaltic lake
In which the island volcano is situated.
Both gentlemen at first descended to-
gether until they reached a precipice
overhanging the cavernous gulf of the
crater, when the baron saw further
progress to be impossible. But the doe

Discovers Old Spanish Coins.

a baker residing in a very old house
Ut Malines, in the province Of Antwerp,
Belgium, has just made an interesting
discovery in his garret, where 1t had
often been noticed that the rafters,
when tapped, emitted a hollow sound.
A vigorous search brought to light
rusty lock in the corner of one OF the
rafters, and on it's being forced the cav
ity was found to contain Spanish gold
coins Of the sixteenth century to the
value Of nearly f1,000. Further search
in the house disclosed some highly val
liable Cordova leather paper concealed
under successive layers of ordinary
house paper. some of which had been
placed on the walls at least two cen
turies ago.

house, then a bright light and long
tongues of fame began to leap from the
windows. In an incredibly short time
the entire upper part of the house was
ablaze. In an instant there was the
widest confusion. Men and women
ran screaming from the burning struc-
ture, and there were frenZled inquiries
for this one and that one. All seemed
to be accounted for, when suddenly the
cry, where's Billy FilchenerT was
raised. The next minute he was seen
in second story window, to which he
had struggled, gasping for breath and
with his clothes on fire In half a dozen
places. If he had not been scared out
of his senses he would have jumped
and saved himself, for he was not more
than twelve or fifteen feet from the
ground, but as 1t was he was as help
less as II he had been a thousand feet
up. There were shouts that he must be
saved, of course, but nobody seemed to
understand how It could be done, and
while the talk went on the fire burned
more fiercely.
1t was then that Cal Yanport came
to the front. Knowing him as | had
come to know him, | should not have
been surprised at what followed had 1t
been the girl in danger. must confess,
however, that under the circumstances
was thoroughly dazed. There were no
ladders handy, and hardly time to raise
them If there had been, for Filchener
had evidently tainted and If rescued at
all must be rescued quickly. Cal saw
that In q flash, and instead of waiting
to discuss things with anyone he whip,
ped off his coat, threw 1t over his head
to protect himself from smoke and
flame as much rs possible, and rushed
straight into the burning house. There
were yells Of why, It's Cal Vanport.
Stop him. and the like, and while
these were still sounding Cal himself
appeared at the window with Kitchener
In his arms.
Then Cal disappeared to fight his way
down the stairs TO life and air again
for he dared not jump with his heavy
burden. / thought he would never get
out, but he did. though 1t seemed hours
before he staggered through the dool

SOME FINANCIAL THEORIES.
Soldiers Will Garry Mexican Dollars
to Manila

New York, May 27.-The Press says:
One of the most interesting prepara-
lions for the QUILTING of the Manila
expedition has just been announced
The government has purchased 25, 900
Mexican silver dollars, which General
Merritt will take along to defray the
expenses of the expedition. This
amount is not expected to last long, but
more will be sent him from time to
time.
By purchasing Mexican dollars
great saving is made. 1t is possible to
obtain Mexican dollars at 46 cents each,
two Mexican ones, and leaving eight
cents toward the purchase of a third.
In the Philippines a Mexican dollar
will buy more than an American dol
lar, thus the expenses of General Mer-
ritt's expedition after it once lands in
Manila will be less than one-half what
they would otherwise be. AS to the
soldiers, they will fare excellently I'M
der this arrangement, for they will, of
course, be paid according to law, Amer
lean money.
The paymaster will give each soldier
two Mexican dollars for every Ameri-
can dollar due him on pay day.
