FIND LOST CITY OF
FURNISHED COPPER
Arab Smugglers Make Remark
able Discovery in the
Sahara Desert
AN OLDEN DREAM METROPOLIS
Credence Given to the Narrative Be-
cause the Explorer Returned with
Pieces of Copper Of Fine Workman
ship and Antique Design.

Cairo, Egypt.-A party Of Arabs
who recently returned to Cairo from
the Sahara narrate a story of a re-
markable discovery. They state that
they were endeavoring to smuggle
contraband goods across Tripoli last
winter when they were surrounded by
coast guards. Some escaped and rode
southwark for three days. They lost
themselves and were without food.
They had given up hope when they
saw on the horizon glittering mass
first that it was only mirage, but it
proved to be real deserted city built
OF FURNISHED copper The only sign
of life was some sand grouse, which
We're shot. The party after exploring
the place and replenishing their water
at an excellent well discovered n
beaten track and returned to Cairo.
The story came to the ears of some
of the antiquarian authorities and de.
spite the fact that Arabs are born ro.
manCcrs much crcdence is given to
the narrative owing to the production
of pieces of copper of fine workman
ship and antique design which the
Arabs allege they brought from the
wonderful city. The result is that a
private expedition has been organized
with the assistance of the Egyptian
Government antiquities department
and it is about to start for the Sahara
to search for the city of copper. 1t
will also visit the oasis of silva and
explore Jarabub, the Mecca of the
Senussi fraternity, into which no Eu-
ropcan has yet penetrated.
The story of the city of FURNISHED
copper recalls another wonderful city
which Arabs pretended to have found
200 years ago. Arabs told the eigh-
teenth century traveller Thomas
Shaw of the discovery in Barbary of
a beautiful petrifed city. where petri-
fed women fingered petrified goods
in petritied shops and petrified women
kncaded petritied dough in some of
the houses. One magnificent person
was lying on splendid couch guard.
ed by men holding spears-and SO on.
Shaw listened while the Arabs piled
up wealth of detail his scepticism
gradually deeping until it settled into
confirmed unbelief when they added
they had found petritied cats chasing
petritied mice.

JUMPER HEATHERBLOOM DEAD
Horse Attempted to Leap Paddock
Fence and was Injured SO He
Had to Be Destroyed.

Great Darlington Mass.-Heather-
bloom, the champion high jumping
horse, with record of feet inches,
made in Chicago, reached his limit
trying to leap the paddock fence
which was specially built to keep
him in his pasture. He was so badly
injured that in mercy he was shot.
In this tragic manner Heatherbloom
ended his noteworthy career. No
other animal in the world ever equal
led the upward fight which he ac-
complished with $50 pounds of man
on his back. In all his record break
ing jumps he had Dick Donnelly in
the saddle.
Heatherbloom's record leap COM
pletely places in the shade the tales
of prodigious jumps made by kan
garoos when pursued. 1t is nearly two
feet above Harry Porter's great re-
cord of 6 feet 6 3-4 inches, though
Porter had the advantage of having
but two legs to get over the bar.
Heatherbloom was called the "Su-
per-horse." He was about fifteen
years old and was sired by the thor
oughbred stallion Philosophy, by
Longfellow. He was a brown gelding
with a white stripe down his face,
with the right fore ankle white and
the two hind legs white 20 the ankle.
He stood 16 hands inches high, or
3 feet 6 inches. 1t will be seen from
these measurements that when he
made his great record he cleared
three feet over his own height.
Heatherbloom in a way was a gent
us, and like most of that irritable
tribe he had his moods. with him
jumping was a sport and he was only
inclined to indulge in 1t when in the
humor. Unless he felt so inclined he
would not leap n tivefoot fence. But
when he felt like jumping he would
clear the fence like a bird and go
frisking around the ring afterward,
knocking over a groom or two out
of sheer good spirits. Dick Donnelly
knew the whimsical nature of the
horse better than any other man, and
could induce him to jump higher
than any other rider But when
Heatherbloom felt like jumping any
one could ride him. Miss Belle
Beach proved this by winning a blue
ribbon on him in the high jumping
class at the Monmouth County Horse
Show on July q, 1905.
Heatherbloom was owned by How
ard Willets of White Plains, n Y.
Mr.. Willets valued him at more than
$4,000, and only last spring refused
an offer of that sum from Barnun' s
circus.

CHINESE BURNING POND.
How Belongings of Late Empress

When the new Empress-Dowager Of

DEAF, DUMB AND CAN'T -EAD.
Prisoner in New York Unable to
Plead to Indictment.

New York City.-Deaf, dumb and
unable to read or write Abel Simon,
II years old, of 1877 Brook avenue, the
Bronx, was stumbling block to legal
procedure in General Sessions when
he was asked to plead to an indict-
ment for grand larceny in the second
degree. He was charged with taking
a diamond ring worth $2S from the
jewelry store of Samuel Haskilevitz,
405 Sixth avenue.
In vain did Assistant District At
torney Marshall plead with Simon to
plead. A court attendant who knew
finger alphabet went at the boy
with fingers wriggly extended, to
which the boy responded with alien
lingering.
The thunders of the law cut but
a sorry figure in the presence of an
affliction like that" observed Judge
Rosalsky. What Imprisonment could
cut him off more completely from his
fellows? The pains and penalties of
the law could add nothing to such
chains as these"

PLUG HAT KELLY IN JAIL.
The Famous Confidence Game That is
Said to Have Given the Aged
Prisoner His Soubriuuet.

Long Island City, l.. I.--Despite his
70 years Plug Hat John Kelly, said by
the police to be the originator of the
"molasses game" by which grocers
were separated from the money in
their cash drawers, was prisoner
before Magistrate Connolly in the po-
lice court here, together with John
Reilly, % years old, of 227 East Eigh-
ty-siXth street, and Thomas Morrison,
2S years old, of 324 First avenue, Man
haitian. Kelly gave his address as 220
East Forty-secOnd street, Manhattan.
The men were arrested for jostling
crowds at trolley transfer points in
Long Island City. They were held
in S 600 bail each.
According to the detectives Kelly
achieved fame in the manipulating of
the molasseS game. 1t was worked
by three men, one of whom wore a
plug hat. They would enter a grocery
store and get into a heated discussion
as to how much molasses the plug hat
would hold, when finally wager
would be made. In the meantime the
grocer would be drawn into the con-
trolcrsy and the owner of the hat at
a favorable opportunity would offer to
sacrifice his tile to decide the ques-
ton. Then molasses would be drawn
off in measure and the hat filled.
The grocer held the hat to see that
there was no foul play and in the
debate that followed one of the men
would seize the hat and lam If down
over the grocer's head while another
of the conspirators was busy rining
the till and picking up odd valuables,
By the time the grocer eXtricated
himself from the hat and the mo-
lasses the manipuators of the game
had flown. Until imitators and buug-
lers got into the field, it is said Plus
Hat Kelly made a comfortable living

Town Life and Disease.

If the proportion of Jews who are
victims of tuberculosis is comparative
ly small, the cause, says universe Is
raelite, Paris. is that for 1000 years
the Jews have been town dwellers.
They have become habituated to the
town and its sedentary occupations.
They have finished by no more sue
cumbing to the delterious influence Of
the place, of work between four walls,
and of insalubrious surroundings. This
is best shown by the large number
of victims to tuberculosis among the
non-Jewish Italians who, farmers In
their own country, settle in the United
miicu.

The Smell of Musk,

There are more kinds of musk than
the awful stuff you sometimes smell
in a crowded car. They call that fine
dust that wild deer shakes off his
hoofs, by which the hound steers his
chase, musk. All wild animals that
are chased by dogs from scent have
the same or a similar token. Every
person has a different smell. If not,
why is it the dog can locate his mas
ter in a big crowd by the sense Of
smell?
