sUBTERRANEAN RIVERS.
Yucatan's Only Streams Flow Be-
meath Coral Rock.

Yucatan's Only Streams Flow Be-
meath Coral Rock.
There are no streams In Yucatan
which flow above the ground, but the
whole peninsula is one vast table of
coral rock and beneath it are immense
sheets of fresh water, with regular
though Ill defined tides and currents.
Along the coasts these subterranean
waters are quite near the surface, but
in the interior, where the calcareous
layer is Of great thickness, the waters
are low down. At intervals they break
into caverns formed by earthquakes by
pressure of their own force or by the
infiltration Of surface water into the
natural grottoes of the coral rock and
wherever the water can be reached,
whether through artificial pits or by
the operations of nature, the place is
called a cenote. There are a great
tan, and those near Merida are utilized
as public lighthouses, affording most
refreshing resorts.
Centuries ago the Indians marked the
courses of the subterranean rivers by
heaps Of stones and always built their
cities close by the water caves, as their
ruins show, and it is interesting to note
to this day all the civilized oenteFs of
Yucatan have arisen around these nat
ural reservoirs. There are many forms
Of cenotes. When the water flows at
a slight depth and the calcareous layer
has been only partially eaten away
there follows an irregular sinking,
which forms a cave, opening from side
to side, but when the crust is thicker
and the underground stream has a reg
ular course the soil is generally cor
roded in circular space and the vault
thus formed, lacking support, falls In,
making an immense open wall Often
the crust is so deep that the soft parts
only crumble down, leaving small
aperture toward the top, fashioning a
real grotto, with stalactites and stalag-
mites galore. Again, it happens that
the crust is exceedingly thick, when a
colossal subterranean passage, like a
tunnel, Is formed. In short, all the
variations which an undisturbed
by the silent work of ages may be here
witnessed. The cenote Of which
write is natural cavern nearly fifty
feet deep, broken down at one side,
thus forming gigantic arch Within
1t appears every form of stalagmite
and stalactite, and its roof is perfo-
rated with holes, In which are thou
sands of birds and hornets nests. At
the bottom of it. reached by flight Of
stone steps from the charming garden
above, is an extensive sheet of clear,
fresh water, containing multitude Of
tiny fish (Pescado cenote) similar to
those found in the Mammoth cave. of
Kentucky. only these are not eyeless.
The overhanging roots of trees fringe
its broken arch, affording shelter to In
lizards and iguanas, which
dart along the lodges like embodied
sunbeams, while above them countless
swallows circle in masses so dense that
the whirring of their wings produces
a deafening noise, echoed from below
IN hollow reyerberatjone.

Human Life the Music of the Gods.
Somewhere it is said that human life
Is the music of the gods-that its sobs
and laughter, its songs and shrieks and
prisons, Its outcries of delight and of
despair, rise never to the hearing of
the immortals but as a perfect har-
mony. Wherefore they could not desire
to hush the tones of pain. IL would
spoil their musicl The combination
without the agony tones, would prove
dtscord uncomfortable to ears divine
And In one way we are like unto the
gods, since 1t is only the sum of the
pains and the joys of past lives innu-
merable that makes for us. through
memory organic. the ecstasy of music.
All the gladness and the grief Of dead
generations come back to haunt us In
countless forms of harmony and melo-
dy- Even so-a million years after we
shall have ceased to view the sun-will
the gladness and the grief of our own
lives pass with richer music into other
hearts, there to barter, for one mystic
rious moment. some deep and exquisite
thrilling OF voluptuous pain.-Lafeadio

Jester, you appear to consider your
selves very wise, but you are strangely
mistaken, for you have forgotten the
most essential point And what is the

In the middle ages and the renais-
sance nothing was machine made. for
the machine that turned out things by
the gross had not yet been invented
and hence the Individuality of the
craftsman was able to assert itself.
An artistic instinct made the men Of
those days seek for ocular pleasure in
their surroundings. Life was Of neces-
sity more restricted, more concentrate
Cd. Every Joy had to be sought In the
home or in immediate SURROUNDINGS:
hence, perhaps, the reason why they
did not neglect these matters as we do.
VINO buy such objects ready made and
turned out by the hundred. The beau
ty OF things made by men who delight
Cd In making them, things made to
endure and by their endurance to teach
future generations how to improve
upon the best of the past-it is these
that our collectors do well to gather
around them.-Connoisseur.

Sunlight For An tn. Leaves.

The telegraph plant of India has
method all Its own for catching the
sunshine. Each Of Its leaves Is com
posed Of three leaflets The larger ter
minal one erects itself during the day
and turns sharply down at night, while
the other two smaller leaflets move
constantly day and night, describing
complete circles with a peculiar jerk
ing molten like the second hand Of
watch. Occasionally they rest for
period and then go on again, thus
bringing every part of every leaf to
the full action OF the sunlight.
