CITIES THAT GO AsTRAY.
Thirty-three Lost Towns that Have
Been Recently Reclaimed.

Been Recently Reclaimed.
The closing years of the nineteenth
century were marked with many no.
table achievements In archaeology. On
the site of ancient Ilium, on the plains
of Persia, and in the mystery haunted
valley of the Nile reyerent hands un-
yelled the long hidden secrets of the
past and added a wondrous illumina-
ton to our knowledge Of the very dawn
of history. In such a work II Is graf
flying to record that American bounty
and enterprise and scholarship played
a most honorable part, this youngest OF
the worlds great nations being fore
most In making acquaintance with the
relics of the oldest.
Forty years ago the Marquis De
Vogue discovered In TINT part of Syria
lying back of Antioch traces of an
ancient civilization of a high order. He
was able, however, to gain only peep
into the marvellous volume written IN
mighty monuments amid the desert
sands. 1t was Teft For American enter
prise insthe last two years of the cen
fury TO fully unfold the ample pages
for the amazement and instruction of
the world. No less than thirty-three
long forgotten cities have been discoy-
cred and identified, some of them with
architectural remains of surprising
grandeur and of exceptional interest as
expositions of the civilization and the
social order that there prevailed.
The admirable workmanship of an
eient times and the climatic conditions
Of those desert uplands have served to
keep these cities from decay, SO that
they stand there to-day substantially
as they were 1000 years ago, and the
camera to-day lays before us scenes
upon which Zenobia may have
looked and across which Belisa-
rius may have swept in tri-
umph. The story is one that re-
fleets high credit upon the American ex-
plorers who did the work, and upon the
four Americans whose names are yet
modestly withheld. whose generous
bounty supplied the means through
which alone the doing of the work was
possible.

BUDDRlSTS ON SUICIDE.
They Consider Life Misfortune and
Are Ever Ready TO End 1t.

They Consider Life Misfortune and
Are Ever Ready TO End 1t.
The Buddhlsts took the same pessi-
mistic view of life as the Brahmins;
life was a misfortune, and the faithful
were always ready to abandon it. The
Buddhist, however, stood to gain more
by death even than the Brahmin, and,
us his estimate of the value of life was
no higher, suicide was still more COM
mon among the followers of Buddha
than it had been prior TO the promul-
CATION of the new religion.
By the Buddhists suicide is looked
upon, even to-day, as justifiable under
almost any circumstances. In China,
1t is true, some suicides-especially
those caused by gambling-are regard
ID as dishonorable, but everywhere
that Buddhism has penetrated human
life is held as of little or no value, and
suicide Is committed on the slightest
proyocation Imaginable, or without
any proyocation at all. With Buddhists
life is a penance and death Is the door
way to eternal JOY. 1t Is therefore not
surprising that they are always ready
to commit suicide on the very slight
est pretext. Among the Chinese a
trivial insult Is frequently followed by
death, not of the aggressor, but of the
offended individual, who ends his life
and, in his opinion, casts infamy upon
his acknowledgements.

FORTUNES IN osIER GROWING.
Men Who Plant Willows Will Reap
Large Financial Profit.

Men VINO Plant Willows Will Rchp
Large Financial Profit.
Osier- growing is an industry that has
great future before 1t In the United
States. Experts Of the Department or
Agriculture have been investigating
the subject, and they declare that for
tunes await enterprising persons who
will thus utilize the vast tracts OF land
available for this purpose. Planted
with the species of willows useful FOR
Understanding, tens of thousands OF
acres that are worthless for anything
else could be made to pay an enormous
interest on the investment-not less, In
fact, than 20 or 80 per cent. 1t Is abso-
lutely necessary, however, that the
proper varieties should be obtained,
else the speculation will not be sue
cess. The average dealer is not to be
trusted ON such a point.
The willow-ware industry, though as
yet in its infancy In this country, has
been slowly growing during the last
few years. In 1890 there were IN the
United States, according to the census,
403 willowware establishments, with
capital of $2,7O0,000, employing 1872
persons, paying annually the sum OF
81 $4,000 for wages, and producing
So, 633, GOO worth of manufactured ware
The value of raw material consumed
was $1,39S, 500-an increase OF I'll per
cent over that used in 1880.
The United States consumes a great
er quantity of willowware than any
other country in the world. Our I'M
ports of fine ware from one district in
Germany amount to about $23o,0o0 per
annum. Willow baskets, hampers,
chairs, etc, have become staple IN
dustrial article, and the demand for
them is enormous; In fact, 1t Is far
greater than the supply. Sawed-wood
and split-wood baskets are used largely
for shipping fruits, but these can never
take the place Of the strong, light and
durable willow baskets for many other
purposes. Up to the present time the
willowware industry in America has
received comparatively little attention,
labor being high and the culture of
osiers not well understood. Meanwhile

ital and energy to invest In the grow
ing of willows for discriminating.
The soil for basket willows should be
a deep, sandy loan, well drained and
thoroughly prepared. The situation
ought to be low, level and naturally
moist. The best place to grow osiers is
along the banks of rivers and brooks
that pass through a level country, and
on the small islands which frequently
occur in the midst of streams. Com
pletely draining the site for basket
willow plantation is the first step to-
ward Its formation and the foundation
of its success. There are hundreds of
thousands of acres of marsh land, To-
Gated principally In the upper lake
regions, which might be drained at
small outlay and planted with basket
willows, producing an immense profit.

A Hundred Miles Ride Under a Train

experience OF riding underneath a rail-

He was lying on the rods under one of
