INTERESTING RUINS

(From the London TimesD


At meeting Of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society, a paper was read by Mr.
+. W. Christian ON Exploration in the
Caroline Islands"
The lecturer said that in 1895, meet

remarkable ruins reported to be upon

eastern Carolines. lie reached Ponapa
on New Years day 1896 After giving
an interesting account of the inhabi-
tan,s and their customs, the lecturer
described his visits to Me.alanim. on
the east coast, and the result of his ex-
plorations among the famous ruins of
Nan-Matal. He said that the area oc-
cupied by the islets of NGn-Matal is
about nine square miles. For the most
part they are deserted, and altogether
there are not above 20 people living on
the three or four inhabited ones Some
of them are planted with cocoanuts
and breadfruit, and are visited occa-
sonally by fishing parties. The kings
island of Tomun and the shores of Me
talanim harbor are fairly thickly popu-
lated, but the folk as a rule give Nan
Natal a very wide berth. They say the
place is haunted, and on certain of
the islets. such as Pan katara and Pie
Kap, nothing will induce them 10 set

carried down to the sea from the dales
below the precipices of L and the great
perpendicular scarp of Chokach, where
the columnar basalt formation is very
strikingly marked. Here We're grand
natural quarries, whence the builders
might select all the shafts and pillars
required, lying around ready shaped
to their hand. The first of the isets
visited from Uchentau was Nan
Tauach, the most remarkable of all
the Metalanim ruins. The water front
is faced with solid terrace of massive

some terrible judgment upon the head

Swallowed and all but hidden from view
by the dense LEAKAGE or a huge Ikoik
tree, In olden times the walls must
have been considerably greater in
height, but much of the masonry has
now fallen into lamentable ruin. A
series Of huge, rude steps leads into a
spacious court yard, strewn with frag-
ments of fallen pillars. This encircles
a second terraced Enclosure, topped by
a remarkable projecting frieZe or COR

Petition to Legisla.
ture to Proceed Ac-
cording to Plans.
ORDER IN HANDS OF CITY CLERK.
Alderman Wall to Intro
duce It at Board Meet
ing Monday Night.

Unless something breaks, the first
step toward legislation in the grade
crossing question will be taken Mon
day night.
An order has been framed, and is in
the hands Of the city clerk, which will
be offered by Alderman Wall, to the
effect that the mayor be authorized to
petition the Legislature TO proceed in
the work according to plans of the e&-
pert commission.
When tie order is offered, there is
bound to be some discussion, although
little doubt is expressed by members OF
the city council, but that the order will
be adopted. Every member of the up
per board with the exception of Alder
man OConnelI, is practically pledged tc
stand by the report Of the expert COM
mission, which was the agreement when
the commission was appointed as g
sort of court of appeal. 1t is also under
stood that q majority of the common
council take the same attitude. How
ever there are members Of the city gov
eminent who are not convinced that
depressed tracks are impracticable and
these men say they will oppose elevated
tracks to the bitter end.
The legislature has adjourned, which
will prevent action before next year,
although action by the city council al
the present time will insure precedenca
on next sessions calendar.
