THE LOST ATLANTIS.
An Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach.
cd Social Perfection.

According TO Plato. who was the
first to rUt tne Story cn record, having
heard it from the Egyptian priests. At
!antiS WAS m island il the Atlantic
ocean over against the pillars OF Her
cule$ 1t WIS larger than Asia anG
Africa taken together and 5000 years
before his ;i:iir was GenScir peopled by
! q rae" rich. -: and powerful. The Go-
minion extended over the greater part
Of Africa ::.l Europe and their con
queling p: res was finally checked
only by lie ,!!:itcd resistance Of the
Atheniuns ara oriler Greeks.
In the course OF time this great peo-
pie, this powerful nation. forgot its
greatness and its power and turned
to wickelness and sin. Then there
came an earthquake, which lasted 4
day and night aGd was followed by
an inundation Of the sea. After that
nothing brt slime and shoals remained
to mark the spot where Atlantis had
fourished
This is the romantic story is told
by pi:;o. As We have said. he got 1t
from the Egyptian priests. Where Gid
the priests get it: Was ii purely in
aginary. OF was il founded. us some
of the stories OF mythology are. upon
thin Foundation OF fact:
On this point both the ancient and
the modern writer's have different
views. Some suppose that the exist
ence Of the island was really believed
in because the 2hoenicianS may have
visited the Canary islands or the
Azores: that the story OF Atlantis
grew out Of their possible discovery.
Others think that it is the expression
of a vague belief by the ancientS in
the existence Of the western hem!-
sphere.
SO far as the origin Of the story
goes. we shall never perhaps know
more than we do now, but we have for
all ,i.a2 nc beauty OF the story itself
as showing what the poets Of an
tiQuity conceived to be the ideal con-
dition of the human race.
According 70 theSe ancient writer's,
Atlantis was one Of the most produc-
tive countries in the world. Its nat
ural resources were unboIIded. Ev-
erything that could add to the pleasure
and comfort Of men was there in pro-
fusion-erain. Wine. delicious fruit,
metals OF various kinds. great forests,
fertile plains, pleasure grounds, springs
and rivers.
The island was divided into ten
Kingdoms. each wholly independent Of
the other, but bound by the common
ties OF noble purposes and mutual good
will. Commerce fouriShed as it did
nowhere else in the world, its harbors
receiving the products Of every other
known country. There We're large and
popuious cities rich in architectural ef-
feet and embelliShed with the most
beautiful works Of art. Its villages
were also rich and thriving. and its
fields were under the most sllillful and
profitable cultivation.'
This was Atlantis rs the old poets
pictured it. the ideal land where men
had reached the ultimate development
of social and general government
