Beast Nor Bird May Live. -,

posed by one Of the party to enter the
valley; but at the spot where we were
this was difficult, at least for me, as
false step would have been fatal,
and no assistance could be given.
I'VE lighted our cigars, and with
the assistance of a bamboo we de-
scended to within IS feet of the bot
tom. Here we did not experience any
difficulty in breathing, but felt a
sickening, nauseous smell. A dog
was now fastened to the end of
bamboo Is feet long and sent in We
had our watches in our hands, and
in IA seconds he fell on his back He
did not move his limbs or look
around, but continued to breathe IS
minutes.
I'VE then sent in another, or rather
he got loose from the bamboo and
walked in to where the other dog was
lying. He then stood quite still, and
in 10 seconds fell on his face and
never moved his limbs afterwards,
though he continued to breathe for
seven minutes. We then tried a fowl.
which died in a minute and a half.
We threw on another, which died be-
fore touching the ground.
con the opposite side of the valley
is a large stone. near which is the
skeleton Of a human being, who must
have persisted on his back, with his
right arm under his head From be-
ing exposed to the weather, the bones
were bleached as white as ivory. I
was anxious to get this skeleton, but
I soon found that'any attempt to get
at it would have been madness.
THE human skeletons are supposed
to have been rebels, who had been
pursued from the main road and had
taken refuge in the difficult valleys.
And a wanderer can not know his
danger till he is in the valley, and
once there, he has not the power or
presence of mind to return"
The valley being in the center of
a volcanic region, there can be little
doubt that the cause of death is at
tributable to carbonic acid gas, which,
escaping from assures in the ground,
collects in the bottom of the valley.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Hundreds
of New Workers are being given novel
entertainment each afternoon this
week in the salesrooms of an up
town auction house, where a curious
conglomeration of the household
treasures of Mrs Cassie l.. Chadwick
are under the hammer
1t was advertised as sort of
show, or grotesque museum exhibi-
ton, this public sale OF the expensive,
yet uniformly garish pile of baubles,
which the notorious financial adven-
turess gained and gave honor and
liberty. The crowds treat ii as a
vaudeville performance. the auc-
tioneer punctuates his suffering
chatter in figures with witticisms
apropos of Classics Frenzied Finan-
cial Fluke," the audience cackles APP
prevail and incidentally, in its excite
ment and enthusiasm, falls victim to
the wiles of the glib figuring of the
salesman
Ladies and gentlemen" says he,
standing on a great pile of Louis
XIV. chairs and tables, what am I
bid to start this carved ivory drink
ing mug, cut from the solid piece
and embossed with the chiseled orna-
mentation of master artist. Mrs.
Chadwick never paid cent less than
$1,000 for this piece. What was "a
thousand dollars to her with bankers
as angels and with friends in Pitts
burg? What am l bid? Start it just
as low as you please. At $40, at ten,

The estimated cost to Mrs. Chad
wick of the goods on sale here is
placed at 100000, 1t includes almost
the entire furnishing of the old
Euclid avenue mansion, in Cleveland,
and everything artistic that might go
into such house from an automatic
pipe organ to Persian silk and kir-
manshah carpets and the famous silk
throne rug. While many of the ar
ticles are of rare beauty and undoubt-
eddy purchased at great cost, the col
lection is regarded by art collectors
here as being remarkable mainly for
eccentric taste and lavish reckless
ness on the part of the purchaser On
many articles such as one lot of 1900
pieces of silver, the original purchase
tags were still to be seen, showing
that Mrs. Chadwick had never made
use of them.

Though the fabulous stories of the
so-called deadly upas tree of the
Island of Java long since have been
disproved, yet there exists in the far
interior of the island a spot equally
deadly to life, which is known as the
Guervo Upas, or Valley of Poison, or
Of Death, equally fatal to man, beast
or bird. -.
Alexander Loudon, well known
this place of terror. He had heard
that about three miles from Batur
was a valley which no person could
approach without FORGETTING his life,
and that the skeletons of human be-
ings, and all sorts of birds and beasts,
covered the bottom of the valley.
Accordingly, Loudon started off, ac-
companied by a friend and some ma
tives, taking with them two dogs and
some fowls.
"On arriving at the foot of the
mountain" he writes, I'VE left our
horses and scrambled up the side of
a hill, full quarter of mile, hold
ing on Dy Ine extended TOOtS ana
branches of trees, and we were a good
deal fatigued before we got up, the
path being very steep and slippery
from the heavy rains during the
night.
when within few yards of the
valley we experienced strong
nauseous, sickening and suffocating
smell, but on coming close to the
edge the smell ceased. We were now
lost in establishment at the awful
scene below us. The valley was about
half a mile in circumference, oval,
the depth from 80 to 35 feet, the
bottom quite fiat, no vegetation, a few
large( in appearance) river stones,
and the whole covered with the skele-
tons of human beings, tigers, pigs,
deer, peacocks, and great variety
Of birds and beasts. We could not
perceive any vapor or opening in the
ground, which appeared to be of a
hard sandy substance. The sides of
the valley, from the top to the bot
tom, We're covered with vegetation,
trees, shrubs, etc. 1t was now pro-
