been the distinguishing characteristic
Of English and American fiction. The

A Quicker Process.

A story Is told Of a certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ large STAFF of en-.
gineers and matbematicians TO aid him
IN the solution Of knotty problems.
Some time ago the inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of certain YES
sci Of unsymmetrical proportions and
asked his mathematicians to solve the
problem. AS the story goes, the mathe-
maticians spent weeks Of time, filled
whole books with their calculations
and finally presented what they said
was close approximation to the true
result. Thereupon the famous inven-
tor placed the vessel on platform
scale, filed 1t to the brim with water,
obtained its weight when full and
when empty, and I'm few minutes he
had result as good as the mathe-
maticians-for that particular vessel

Blunders by Novelists.

Novelists. even of eminence. are
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant I'm For Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eykins had settled In
Providence. "Barnaby soon grew tired
Of this quiet life and went on board n
steamer bound for England. promising
that we should hear from him" This
was I'm 1856 or 1857. and the first
steamer from America TO this country
did not reach Liverpool till July. 1919.
wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In '"The Duel In
Herne Wood he makes the story open
with the receipt Of telegram. and the
period is 1917. when twenty years had
20 elapse before the first telegraphlc
wire was laid. Three Of the characters
also talk OF taking the express train
to London" in defiance Of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1898.

THE LOST ATLANTIS.
Fate Of the Continental Island as Told
by the Ancients.


"The Lost Atlantis" Is favorite
subject OF song and story, and even
now strange tales are told by sailors
who claim to have seen n great white
city rearing its domes and minarets
up through the green OF the sea.
Atlantis was continental island be
tween Europe and America. Solon as
long ago as 600 B. c. learned the sto-
ry I'm Egypt, and It is from him and
later from Plato that the tale has been
handed down TO modern peoples.
Atlantis was reigned over by three
kings of marvellous power, and the In
habitants were warlike people far
advanced in civilization. The three
kings finally became so puffed with
power that they united forces and
planned descent on Europe, the pur-
pose OF which was TO destroy and en-
slave. The Athenians met the In
vaders and after fearful battle gain
ed decisive victory.
Two days later mighty earthquakes
shook the earth, and tremendous fnun-
dations came. When peace succeeded
elemental turmoil the sea stretched
where once had been Atlantis.
