With three other boys he was riding

The others performed in safety the
dangerous feat OF leaping from the

ped beneath the wheels. The train
went on and none of the crew were
aware of what had happened. The boys
ran back for assistance. hand truck

boy. Meanwhile the ambulance had
been sent for and Lyons was rushed to
the Mary NJ. Packer hospital, where

ankle.
Lyons is the son of Mrs. Susan

fortune.

A LAND OF MYSTIC CHARM.
Beauties of Modern Syria as Seen by
Woman Writer.


Here is vivid description of the
Biblical plain of Esdraelon, taken
from Mrs. A. G. Inchbold's Under the
Syrian Sun" Instantly our gaze and
with it our hearts went out to the
strange beauty of the plain of Esdrae
lon. spread out just beyond the rolling
ranges of the Galilean hills. 1t wGs
like some beautiful sea with its softly
green pillows sweeping inland in broad
gracious curves between the bounda-
ries of its northern and southern hills.
And upon this limpid, seemingly liquid
surface rested big cloud shadows of
deep yelled purple. The billows were
the cultivated stretches of the plain,
and the cloud shadows indicated the
broken. TILED soil When in reality the
shadows of clouds moved across the
billowed richness of the great meadow
as the natives called Esdraelon-the
effect was sublime beyond descrip-
ton"
OF Baalbek the same author says.
$50 overpOwering was the first impress
sion of loneliness and awe created by
the sudden sight of the giant pillars
towering in the mystic blue light that
instinct bade one creep behind the
nearest giant stone wall and hide-hide
from the guardians, the genii, who
seemed TO be lurking in the dark
depths between the fallen pillars to be
immovable as sentinels in the penum-
bra of the vast colonnade. But there
description fails. The wonders of that
whole magic area through which we
wandered as under a spell outstrip
expression.
THE veil of the supernatural lay
lightly alike on the untouched surface
as on the totally buried relics, now laid
bare by the persistent burrowing- of
the Searchc"S after truth. Ghosts of
the long ago lowered near. In the light
which transtigures all things earthly
with an atmosphere that is supermun-
dane they whispered strange tales of
the phantom world. which at the mo
mcnt seemed vivid and real. but i'm the
brightness of the morrow vanished as
a dream which memory yearns in vain

When the Earth Quakes.

Some idea of the stupendous power
OF the subterranean forces exerted by
earthquakes is shown by the changes
effected by them in geography. Noun
tainS have been obliterated or new ones
formed, islands have been made or de
stroyed, and whole stretches of coast
line wiped out. For instance. in Sep
tember, 1853, ON the lofty tableland
about 100 miles southwest of the City
of Mexico, a piece of land four square
miles in area was suddenly raised $50
feet, and numerous cones appeared,
one Of them, the volcano of Jorullo,
being nearly Loo feet high. Java in
1TT2 suffered in the opposite way, for a
tract of country fifteen miles long by
six miles broad was swallowed up en-
tirely, a mountain Of 1000 feet being
reduced to 5000 feet only in the
