| London that Mr.. Knowles and his
staff of engineers and workmen had
succeeded in cutting through the
basin of the lake, and the water had
been drained off successfully. There
was great jubilation, and prepara-
tions were made for the large con-
signments of gold, silver and jewels
which might be expected to arrive by
the next boat~.
| Unfortunately, however, the water
is not the only barrier on which the
"Gilded Man" has to rely for the
safe-.;eeping of his treasure The
| jubilation in Londonwall was sum-
marily ended by cablegram stating
that twenty-five feet of solid mud, or
some 30,000,000 cubic feet in all
still lay between the treasure-seekers
and their quest.
But what is 30,000,000 cubic feet
of mud when 100000 is at
stake? A new engineering feat was
decided on---the construction of
great dam across the hole made IN
the side of the basin. terminating in
a shaft through which the mud
should be washed and carefully pre-
cipitated, so as to secure the gold
and silver treasure as they were dis
turbed from their hiding place of
centuries.
The dam was constructed. and with
1t the cleansing shaft, but while the
work was In progress a strange thing
had happened. The "Gilded Man"
was evidently at work again.
For over three years the engineers
had worked in the rain, in such a
downpour, indeed, as was unpre-
dented in Central America. AS the
water ran from the lake, however,
the rain had stopped, and a drought
equally without parallel in the his
tory of the country set in. For more
than two and half years not drop
of rain has fallen at the scene of the
operations, and when the engineers
had completed the construction of
the dam it was only to find that the
sun had baked the 30,0OO,000 cubic
feet of mud into the consistency of
hard rock.
Then, metaphorically speaking, the
engineers sat down and wept. The
rock-like substance still lies as an
impenetrable bomb-proof lid over the
golden gods and the silver dishes and
ornaments, to say nothing of the
Jeweled goddesses and their glitter
ing handmaidens.

Englishmen 1T is all the work of
the 'Gilded Man. who is watching
over his treasure mountain" they
say, and they plainly hint that when
the rain comes-if ever it does come
to soften the mud, some other OBJ
stacle will defeat the desire of the
treasure-seekers.
Letter after letter from Mr..
Knowles to the little office in the CITY

How to Reduce Your Flesh.

To increase the lung capacity is
the first step in the reduction of
flesh. For this purpose running is,
l think, superior to any other ex-
ercise. Boxing and hand ball are
also excellent for the wind" And
these exercises will do more than
increase the respiratory functions;
they will greatly dmIlate the cir
culation as well as all the secretory
and excretory processes. What leg
exercises will not do, however, is
oxidize, to any great extent, the soft
tissues of the trunk and arms. True,
by stimulating the organs of elimi-
natio- and by increasing lung ca
pacity, leg exercises will oxidize
upper tissues somewhat; but when
fat is not replaced by muscle it has
a strong tendency to reform. A bad
effect of leg exercise exclusively is
that they draw major part of the
blood, rich in oxygen, to the lowe.
limbs; whereas If vigorous arms and
side the leg exercises, much blood
would be attracted also to the upper
parts which would then be oxidized
TO the best advantage, their lost fat
being, at the same time, replaced by
solid tissue, and hence having little
tendency to reform. Running, there
fore, splendid exercise though it is,
should be supplemented by vigorous
upper" exercises. BY vigorous up
per exercises | do not mean calls
themes nor any kind of so-called
light exercises. mean reasonable
hard work.-G. Elliot Flint, in
