What to do? 1t is not a
pleasant sensation-that first
certain knowledge that one has
consumption. Nor is it a
happy announcement for ones
family and friends. But it is
no time for sentiment. You
can't begin right treatment too
soon.
Fresh air and SCOTS Emul-
sion That's a good begin
ming. That treatment alone
has cured many cases of con-
sumption. 1t is always a help.
You must not lose weight.

body in good flesh and has a
special action on the lungs.
Take it in time.

dured in this ark as the gods drove ii
about here and there across the face
of the waters. We had no government
over direction; we could not by so
much as a -hair's-breadth a day in
crease her speed. The high gods that
had chosen the two of us to be the
only ones saved out of all Atlantis, had
sole control of our fate, and into their
hands we cheerfully resigned our flu
ture direction.
Of that land which we reached in
due time, and where we made our
abiding place, and where our children
were born, shall tell of in it's place;
but since this chronicle has proceeded
so far in an exact order of the events
as they came to pass, it is necessary
first to narrate how we came by the
sheets on which it is written.
In a great Golfer, in the center of
the ark's floor, the whole of the mys-
teries learned during the study of
ages were set down in accurate writ
ing. I read through some of them
during the days which passed, and the
awfulness of the powers over which
they gave control appalled, me. I had
seen some of these powers let loose
in Atlantis, and was witness of her
destruction. But here were powers
far higher than those; here was the
great secret of life and death which
Phorenice also had found, and for
which she had been destroyed; and
there were other things also of which
cannot even bring my style to scribe.
The thought of being custodian of
these writings was more than could
endure, and the more the matter rest
ed in my mind, the more intolerab BILE
became the burden. And at last took
hot irons, and with them scared the
wax on the sheets till every letter of
the old writings was obliterated. If
I did wrong, the high gods in their
infinite justice will give me punish
ment; if It is we'll that these great
secrets should endure on earth, they
in their infinite power will dictate
them afresh to some fitting scribes;
but I destroyed them there as the
ark swayed with us over the waves;
and later, when we came to land, I
rewrote upon the sheets the matters
which led to great Atlantis being
dragged to her death-throes.
Nais, that I love so tenderly@

made the wood as hard as metal and

In the gloomy cave of it's belly were
stored many matters. At one end, in
great tanks on either side of a central
alley, was prodigious store of grain.
Sweet water was in other tanks at
the other end. In another place were
drugs, and simples, and essences of
the life of beasts; all these things
being for use while the ark roamed
under the guidance of the gods on
the bosom of the deep. On all the
walls of the ark, and on all the par
titions of the tanks and the other
woodwork, there were carved in the
rude art of bygone times representa-
tions of all the beasts which lived in
Atlantis; and on these looked with
a hunters interest, as some of them
were strange to me, and had died out
with the men who had perpetuated
them in these sculptures. There was
good store of weapons, and the tools
for handicrafts.

The London Answers Munchausen
story: 'In back number of Answers
appeared storyette about two broth
ers who lived among the Rocky Noun
tains. They had two rifles, one bullet
and one keg of powder. With these
they killed on an average of % head of
buffalo day. They managed it thus:
One of them stood on one side of a
buffalo and the other on the other. No.
1 fired. The bullet passed through the
animal and into the barrel of the other
mans rifle. Then No. fired the bull
let through another buffalo, and back
into No. rs rifle, and so on. A con-
tributor informs US that he has friend
"a cousin, he thinks, of these young
men-who is a dead shot and a prize
runner. This friend also was living in
the Rocky mountains, and was placed
in a position similar to the one de-
scribed, only worse. He was alone, had
only one rifle, one bullet and one keg
of powder. With these he killed 80
head of buffalo a day. This is how he
managed it: He fired at buffalo, ran
round the other side of it, and caught
the bullet in the barrel of his rife; fired
at the next buffalo and ran round and
caught the bullet again, and SO on
until he had exhausted all his powder.
He still keeps the rifle and bullet as .
memento."
