WeskMEN FIND A TREASURE.

Quit Their Job and Start for New
York for Good Time.
Stories of a rich find y ancient
treasure by six laborers are being cir.
culated among the American and for
eign workmen employed on the exten-
sive improvements to the N. c. r.
Railway in the vicinity Of York Ha-
ven.
About one week ago an American
gang boss set six men to work tearing
down and carting away the ruins of an
old house, which fire had destroyed
about fifteen years ago.
The men had made little progress
upon the work when the six appeared
before the boss and informed him
that they had decided to quit and re-
turn to New York. When asked to ex-
plain their sudden decision, Antonio
Luigi, known on the contractors book
as %, said I'VE no lika disa job.
Gotta better job"
The laborers then disappeared from
the vicinity Luigi, who it seems had
not gone farther than Harrisburg,
where he separated from his COM
parions, turned up few hours later
in Goldsboro. He had a roll of crisp
bank notes of liberal size ard spent
money freely in treating his friends
The foreigners say that Luigi told them
that he and his companions while at
work upon the ruins of the old house
discovered a rusted iron chest which
when broken open was found to con-
tain large sum Of money in ancient
ct, To ,hyt, ;ot 70
his story Luigi, it is said. exhibited
handful OF American and Spanish gold
coins of early dates. When asked how
much was in the chest he would say
many hundred dollars"
The story goes that the sum found
was in the neighborhood of $500.

Frisate Bird a Swift Flyer

Though the petrol is swift, the
frigate bird is far swifter. Seamen
generally believe that the frigate bird
can start at daybreak with the trade
winds from the coast of Africa and
roost the same night upon the Ameri-
can shore. Whether this is fact
has not yet been conclusively deter
mined, but it is certain that this bird
is the swiftest of winged creatures,
and is able to fly. under favorable
conditions. 200 miles an hour.

The Fjioht of a EIv.

When flying the wings of fly are
moved with extraordinary rapidity.
and 1t is estimated that no fewer than
700 strokes are made per second. This
would carry fly about 25 feet, but
seven-foId velocity can easily be at
tanned. making 175 feet per second.
so that under certain circumstances
the little creature can outstrip race

Gold and Silver Beetles.

The most remarkable gold beetles
In the world are found in Central
America. The head and wing cases
are brilliantly polished with lustre
as of gold itself. To sight and touch
they have all the appearance of that
metal. Oddly enough, another spe.
cies from the same region looks like
solid silver. freshly Furnished. These
gold and silver beetles have a market
