Tr~t lia- TETON = Athenians
is centred at the Island Of Zante, ..
of the Louian group. Some time ago
there was found i'll the archives of the
State llbrary in Athens tt poreI4-,,en+
dated several hundred years ago, say
ing that whom Suleiman in 1886 con-
quered Corfu, the inhabitants of Zante,
fearing that their island would share
a similar fate, buried all their treas
ures and fed, and that the Empress
Sophia did the same. The place where
the Empresss treasure lay is described
as "within the fortress under a large
red stone near the Temple of st. Luke. "
In the year 1000 Pope Clement VIII
made search for the treasure, but the
result is unknown. In 1914 the Eng
lish attempted to find it, and excaya-
tions were made, the large stone men
toned in the ancient document found,
but then the search was interrupted.
Now the document is in the hands of
an italian, who, together with some
Greeks, is searching for the treasure
The Greek Government has granted
a concession for the work, on condi-
tion of receiving half of the treasure
if it be found. A patrol of soldiers
guards the place day and night The
excavators met with well, which was
easily pumped dry, but instead of the
large red stone, they found at the bot
tom of the well two grottos, one run
ming north, the other south. The for
mer is said to be very remarkable. 1t
has been explored for eighty metres,
and runs close below the Church of
st. Laurentia. In it was found a
structure of masonry, which when
struck, emitted hollow sound. This
has now to be opened, and the opera
ton is looked forward to with great in
terest and excitement. New York

The last execution at Tyburn, says
a writer in Notes and Queries, took
place on Friday, Nov. 7, 1888, in the
person of John Austin, convicted on
the preceding Saturday of robbing
John Spicer and cutting and wound
ing him in cruel manner. In Wal
ford's cold and New London" it is
enormously said that ''the last Grim
inal execution here was one Ryland,
who was hung sicl for forgery in
1888. William Ryland was executed
on Aug. 80, two months before the
date of Austin's conviction, and many
poor wretch made the fatal pilgrim
age to Tyburn in the interval, hanging
by wholesale being the rule in those
days.
The long procession westward had
been attended by such disgraceful
scenes that the authorities resolved to
hang criminals henceforth outside
Newgate prison, straight from the con
demned cell. Accordingly, on Dec.
3, 1888, the recorder ordered the erec-
ton of a scaff,ord in front of the jail,
of which a notice and descriptive en-
craving appear in the Gentleman's
Magazine for the same month, and on
the 10th the new hanging place was
inaugurated by the execution of ten
malefactors.

manufactured for two years carbonate
and caustic soda, but the methods en-
ployed in treating the soda were too
expensive to permit the plant running
at a profit. Since this plant shut
down a large tonnage of this sulphate
of soda has been shipped to Eastern
points for the manufacture of glass,
and it has been said by glassmakers
to produce glass of the first grade. At
present shipments of Wyoming soda
are being made for this purpose, but
as yet no effort has been made to con-
vert the raw product into high grade
baking soda. 1t is in anticipation of
this that the people of Wyoming look
forward to new and great source of
wealth to their State.--Chicago Times.

A fatality followed the family of the
late Colonel Henry of Dreyfus fame as
it followed the Stuarts. He was the
third member of his family within 81
years who died tragical death. The
first had the misnomer of Fortunate
Henry" He was member of the
Commune and a colonel under it in
1871. His son was Emile Henry, who
dynamited the police station at the
Rue des Bons Enfants and the Cafe
Terminus in 1894. Colonel Henry of
the general staff was summoned to
give evidence before the assize court
of the Seine as to the character and
morals of his young kinsman. He APP
peared for the prosecution. Perhaps
his disposition hardened the heart of
the jury. He said in his coarse way,
''The father was restless Republican
under the empire, the son of restless
anarchist. They were all like that in
that branch.

In ancient times seal ring served
often as letter of introduction. and
to go no further, Scripture offers more
than one example of its being used in
this way. In earlier and in later days
ring served to identify its owner or
his messenger, and. not only poetry
and fiction but history itself has offered
many romantic instances of rings en-
ployed in this way. Some persons
have cast doubts on the story of Queen
Elizabeth's waiting for the ring which
Essex was to send her if ever he found
himself in trouble and needed her.
But whether or not the story is true,
it is fact that from the time of
Essex's daughter, Lady Frances Dever-
eux, such ring has descended from
mother to daughter down to the pres
ent time. 1t is of fine gold, with a
cameo head of Queen Elizabeth, most
exquisitely wrought, probably by some
skillful Italian.

The bulk of the estate of the late
Arthur Won Giegligen, of Oakland,
CAL, who committed suicide recently,
consisted of a collection of pipes,
which is probably the finest collection
of the kind on the coast and one Of
the best in the world. For nearly
half a century Won Giegligen pursued
his peculiar fad, with the result that
the collection numbers many hundreds
and is valued at many thousand dol
lars.
One estimate of the value of the
pipes fixes it at $1,000, but another
says that in the right market it would
bring twice that sum. The collection
comprises pipes of almost every kind
of material and workmanship and
from every country. There are
meerschaums most Enthusiastically and
exquisitely carved, some of them per-
fectly colored. These comprise the
most valuable portion of the collec-
tion. Every pipe has its own history.
Besides these there are briars, black
thorns and great many other kinds
of wood pipes, some OF them very
handsome; porcelain bowls and even
clay pipes of rare design. Some of
them cost large sums of money, and
all were selected by an expert in such
matters. What will now become Of
the collection is matter of specula-
ton, but they should yield small
fortune to the heirs. New York

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Camphor, indigo and urea are

modern chemistry has learned to man

The difficulty of making electric
lighting cheaper lies in the fact that
only one per cent. of the power gener-
ated gets into the glass bulb.

and puts the oil, phosphate and cattle
food in marketable shape, spins the
lint into yarn and then weaves it into

A scientist estimates the time since
the earth became sufficiently cooled to
become the abode of plants and ami

of water thirty-four feet high.
