MURMURS FROM GROUND.
Strange Sounds Heard for Many Gen.
turies on the Red Sea
Borders.

A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders of the Red sea to q place called
Nakous, where intermittent underground
sounds have been heard for an unknown
number of centuries. 1t is situated about
half a mile distant from the shore,
whence long reach of sand ascends rap
idly to a height of 300 feet. This reach is
about 800 feet wide and resembles an am
phltheater, being walled by low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the ground
at this place recur at intervals of about
an hour. They at first resemble a low
murmur, but ere long there is heard a
loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes
of bell and which at the end of about
five minutes becomes SO strong as to agi-
tate the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the Arabs
is that there is convent under the
ground here and that these monks ring
for prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means bell.
The Arabs affirm that the noise SO
frightens their camels when they hear it
as to render them furious. Philosophers
attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic
action-probably to the bubbling of gas
or vapor underground.

A Teachers Testimony.

long been claimed that Diabetes is incur

the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence
to the contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Dia.

Il was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years and was treated by

there was little to be done for me. Then
I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and

Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet

WV ~S''o GdNISIlIJs
st. Petersburg society IS brilliant,
not only by reason of the diamonds
and beauty of its women, but also
owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations of its men. The
ladies wear such diamonds as are only
seen on exhibitions or in the windows
OF a fashionable jeweler. The dia.
mands of st. Petersburg are famous,
for not only do they frequently meas
ure half an inch across, but their
diameter is as frequently the same.
Your representative was dazzled by
succession of solid precious stones
whose weight could only be reckoned
IN avoirdupois.
The jewels one sees at Covent Gar.
den are slim and puny baubles by
comparison. st. Petersburg seems to
buy its diamonds by the pound, and
the wealth "of Ormuz and of Ind"
scintillates in the ears and round the
slender threats of its fair women.

Wheel OF Ancient Criolr.

AS to the wheel and its origin, there
is a difference Of opinion. Some hold
that it must have been prehistoric:
others, that dense populations, fixel
roads, and great traffic called it into
being. The wheeIbarrow was found
In China. The cart was found N
Egypt, in Mesapotamia, and In the
Asiatic steppes. But it is considered
doubtful II the wheel originated in
Egypt or in Rome. where the work.
manship Of the builders showed such
finish and completeness. To-day the
wheel is almost universal both for
land transportation and-in propeller
form-in the water. Virtually nothing

power and the means Of its distribu
