DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS.
Described by an Eyo-Witness-A Ar
Awful Sight

Described by an Eye-Witness-A An
Awful Sight.
The description of an eyewitness
standing on the summit of the Sacred
mountain, says Pearson's Magazines:
Our Lord the sun burned high over
head in the sky of cloadless blue and
day shimmered in his heat. All be-
low seemed from that distance peace
full and warm and still, save only that
the mountains smoked more than or
binary and some sprouted fires and
that the sea boiled with some strange
disorder. But 1t was the significance
of the sea that troubled most. Far
out on the distant coast 1t surged
against the rocks in enormous rolls Of
surf and up at the great estuary. at
the head of which the city of Atlantis
stands, 1t gushed into successive waves
of enormous height which never re-
turned. Already the lower lands on
either side were blotted out beneath
tumultuous waters, the harbor walls
were drowned out of sight and the
flood was creeping up into the lower
wards Of the great city itself. The
ocean rolled in upon the land in an
ever-increasing flood, and the noun
tains smoked and belched forth more
volleys of rock as the weight increased
on their lower parts. A burning
mountain burst with believing roar
as the incoming waters met its fires.
The fires, too, which ringed in half
the mountain, spurted up to double
their height and burned with an I'M
ceasing roar. On the mountain top
men still ran about distracted, but
gradually they were coming to where
the ark rested on the highest point
The drowning Of the great continent
that had been spread out below filled
the eye. Ocean roared in upon 1t with
still more furious waves. The plains
and the level lands were fOaming
lakes. At last the great city of At
lantis had vanished eternally. The
mountains alone kept their heads
above the food and spewed out rocks
and steam and boiling stone, or burst
when the waters reached them and
created great whirlpools Of surging
sea and twisted trees and bubbling
mud. In the space of few breaths
every living creature that dwelt In the
lower grounds had been smothered by
the waters save for few who hud-
died in q pair Of galleys that were
driven oarless inland over what had
been once black forest, and hunting
land for the beasts. Even these, also.
were swallowed up by the horrid tur-
moil of sea, and nothing but the sea
beasts and those of the greater lizards
which can live in such outrageous wa
tiers could have survived even that
stage of the destruction. Indeed, none
but those men who had found stand
ing ground on the upper slopes OF the
sacred mountain survived, and it was
plain that their span was short, for
the great mass of the continent sank
bodily deeper and more deep every
minute before our aching eyes, be-
meath the boiling inrushes of the
ocean. When Atlantis sank to form
new ocean bed, she left great whirl-
pools and spoutings from her drowned
fires as a fleeting legacy to the gods
of the sea.

In village in the lake district q
man established library for the bene-

so willingly, was much pleased with
all he saw. and, after warmly express
Ing his approval, finally departed with
a promise to send present of books.
1t came In the form Of a magnificent
set Of Scott's novels. The wife Of the
founder Of the library thought the
books far too handsomely got up for
the purpose for which they were in
tended, and expressed this opinion to
the donor. Madam" said he, 1t the
money the books cost had been spent
for floral decoration or for wines for
dinner, nothing would have been
said against 1t, but becausc 1t was laid
out for the enjoyment of simple viii
layers 1t is considered estravagant."

boy lost his nose and his right eye in
a trolley car accident last June. In
order to save his life the doctors al
lowed his wounds to heal; finally 1t
was decided to perform an operation
which should give the boy some relief
from the Disagreement of his face. A
gutta percha base was shaped, and
over this the skin was drawn together
with fine silk sutures and the wound
allowed to heal. The operation was
an entire success.

An Englishman went into the Chat
ham hotel, in Paris. recently, and eau
tiously asked the price of a whisky.
Zone franc, SIR" replied the bar-tend-
er. "And "a whisky and solar" "One
franc, sir. All drinks are the same
price" The Englishman sat down and,
to his establishment found, that the
place was run on American lines, and
that the customers helped themselves
at their own discretion. He punished
that bottle of whisky till 1t was nearly
empty. AS he went put he paid down
his franc, but the manager called him
back and said: You have forgotten
your change" II thought that the
drink was franc" THAT is so, SIR
was the reply; that is the retail price,
but there is reduction when you buy
wholesale" And he handed back five
sous.

ROBIN LORE.

Every race of mankind from the days
of mythology have regarded birds as
the interpreters Of the will Of heaven
or Of the gods. The robin especially Is
protected from slaughter, perhaps be-
cause Of its pretty, confident ways and
bright eyes, maybe because Of the leg
end Of the Babes in the Woods" In
the sixteenth century there were we'll
authenticated instances of robins COW
ering the bodies Of the dead with moss
Another pretty myth is that the
color Of the robins breast is intimate
ly connected with the crown OF thorns
worn by the Savior, while still an
other story associated with the bird Is
that 1t scorched its breast bringing
down fire from heaven to rekindle the
cold hearths of mankind.
Whittier has embodied a legend in
his verses. He tells that the robin
burned its breast carrying drops Of wa
ter in Its beak to relieve the anguish
of poor lost souls. Shakespeare, in
"Cymbeline," refers to the robins
habit Of covering dead men, and many
other kindred references might be
given.
