.Green Goods" Fossils.

One of the most remarkable books
ever published is the "Lithographia
Wirceburgensis." written by a Wurz-
burg naturalist named Behringer in
1726. Probably very few copies are
in existence. as the author destroyed
all that he could get possession OF soon
after the book appeared.
He had been victimized by some
practical iokers. who had made a
great variety of artificial fossils" and
hidden them in quarry. to which
they then enticed the professor. Behr-
niger was oyerjoyed by so rich find
and had no suspicion OF the trick, al
though many of the fossils were OF a
very grotesque character.
He took his treasures home, made
elaborate drawings of them and wrote
a minute description OF each, as well
as an exhaustive commentary filled
with ingenious and plausible theories.
When he had published the book, the
jokers confessed. and then, of course,
the professor did his utmost to sup
press the work.

bottom. ~.
Immense plans seemed about
70 be completed. bu ave been brought
to disastrous failure at the last mo-.
ment, are frequent enough In the his
tory Of industry.
London Answers tells the story Of q
tin mine In England which might have
yielded fortune but for storm.
With the finding Of new vein Of ore
running out toward the sea a new level
was driven out below the water; then
It was found that the lode bent up
ward too near the sea bottom for min
Ing to be safely carried on. Undiscour-
aged, the owner borrowed money, built
a sea wall to cut off the water, erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enor.
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped a gale came up, ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pieces ut
once, and the sea drove the heavy
stones In upon the thin roof of the
mine. In a moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded, and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshire.
Believing that a rich vein Of ore exist
ed In nearby hill, the owner riskcd
his entire capital to bore tunnel 5000
feet long into the heart Of the noun
tain. Suddenly the miners broke
through q wall of rock into vast hid
den cavern, through which flowed
stream of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream, and after 10000 tons bridge
began to rise out Of the darkness, and
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled,
and Mt last, after 10000 tons in al
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave it up.
That narrow rift is known to this
day as the Bottomless Pit.
