seen trees, flowers and high grass
growing as they do In southern
climes. This Is what he told me
Of his last Journey:
1--WE had seen the smoking
mountains from distance on two
previous occasions. But we had
never dared to approach them, for
there Is an old story that smoking
mountains are the abodes Of evil
spirits. We heard a hollow rum
bling from the direction Of the
peaks, as II the armies Of inferno
were engaged In fierce battle. We
prayed and turned around. When
we saw them for the third time, we
did not hear any roar, and after
many hours OF meditation We de-
cided to explore them.
"'Our way was very difficult, as
we had to skirt yawning precipices,
climb steep rocks covered with ice
and cross rivers OF steaming water.
But when we arrived at the summit
of one OF the peaks we beheld on
the other side o wide green valley
hundreds Of miles In extent, 1t
looked like a fairyland to us after
SO many weeks Of snow and ice.
There were huge trees with queer
shaped leaves and many were In
bloom. The air was warm and
balmy, Small riyulets Of warm
water ran down from the steam
Ing mountains where snow-clad
peaks stretched high above the
clouds. In spite Of the enternal
Winter that prevailed outside, there
seemed to be everlasting Summer in
the valley itself. Many Of the trees
had fruit and nuts that tasted delici-
Gus. and deer were feeding here and
there. None OF the animals IN that
wonderful land Of eternal green
seemed to be afraid of man We
patted the various birds while they
were sitting in their nests and star
ing at us with their big. calm eyes.
LAS It WAS evident that there was
no fear Of Wild animals or lack Of
food, we decided to remain. We
had plenty Of ammunition for hunt
Ing. and there was an abundance Of
delicious fish IN the rivers and eggs,
fruit and berries would supply the

stronger grew this peculiar feeling.
The frozen peaks seemed to emanate
an uncanny odor.
I'VE sailed for days along the coast
OF the new land. While everything
along the southeastern shore gave
the impression OF land covered with
everlasting snow and Ice, yet, as we
went farther toward the north, the
climate became more moderate and
We saw traces OF plant and animal
life.
"All our theories Of scant vegeta-
tion in the Arctic regions went to
pieces when we met a party Of fve
Yakut hunters who were on their
way back to Siberia. Sheitan, the
leader OF the party, proved to be
man Of experience and considerable
intellect who also spoke fluent Rus
sian. At first he was taciturn and
suspicious of us, but when he learned
that we were only scientists he be-
came quite friendly. especially TO me.
and told me that there was a spot on
the desolate continent which was in
hablted not only by various strange
animals. but by what ne super
stitiously termed ghosts He showed
me fur that he had made of white
foxes and another OF the plumes OF
what he called Arctic ostriches
which he had shot In that region.
"Sheitan showed us shells Of trans
parent crystalline appearance which
he said were the egg-shells Of pc
culiar birds found on this new con-
tinent. They were as thick as the
shells Of an oyster and as large as
swans eggs. These birds, he said,
had no feathers. but long snow-white
hair. According to his description
the birds had feet like the ostrichs
and very small wings which they
tapped in the air when they rem.
With the exception of an Arctic
eagle, which he described as OF an
abnormally large size, he could not
tell us anything further Of animal
life Of the continent
However, he said there were deep
valleys and high mountains, some Of
which smoked like huge chimneys,
while others had wells OF boiling
water. Around that region he had

seemed to be these strange crea-
lures that made that terrifying noise.
1--WE were very uneasy for many
days and nights until we discovered
that the shadowy shapes which were
everywhere in the woods never did
any harm either to the animals or to
us. Gradually We became accustomed
to their noisy isltations and paid
them no heed.
When the first rays Of the rising
sun came a great change fell on the
valley. The trees began TO turn
green and the flowers turned from a
monotonous white to their former
brilliant colors. And the dismal
phantoms seemed to have vanished
without leaving any trace that they
had been there. Under the cheering
influence OF the Summer sun we be-
gan TO think that perhaps our eyes
had deceived US and that what we
had thought phantoms were only
clouds Of steam from the mountains
TO which the ghastly glow OF the
aurora borealis gave a supernatural

sunset. which meant the turning
point Of our life. Every moment we
expected snow and a lowering Of
the temperature to zero and below,
who can describe our great sur
prise when we found that the cold
Of the Winter that ragged everywhere
around was unknown here? Life In
that magic valley went on the same
as during the Summer. The chief
difference was in the foliage, which
became pale yellow instead Of dark
green. The blossoms Of the Winter
flowers were mostly gray or white,
and the grass had corresponding
colorless appearance. But, neyerthe-

WOMEN AGAINST A WOMAN
Fair Jurors Sit for First Time i'll a
Felony Case in California and Rem

der a Verdict of Not Guilty.
SAN FRANCISCO.-Judge Dunn's
court room was crowded today when
the first woman jury to appear in

seats in the box After two hours
deliberation the jury returned a YER
dict of not guilty, giving the accused
woman the benefit of a doubt.
The Judge appeared at II a. m.

looked vexed when he noted the alb
sence of one juror. He signed a few
papers, and then was about to post
pone the case when Mrs. Martin Reg
ensberger, a prominent club woman,
came, flushed and GREATNESS, and
was escorted to her seat by the bail
iff under the reproachful eyes of her
fellow jurors. She had given the
female jury a bad reputation for
punctuality before it had got fairly
started.
Eleven of the women in the box
were married and had mature look.
The twelfth was single and much
younger than her associates. All
were smartly dressed. Several ap-
peared nervous when they saw

room.
Mrs. Nanette Robinson, the com
planning witness, was put on the
stand. She is young and compare

inc weight with a female jury. Per-
haps the defendant thought of that

Mrs, Robinson told how she had re-

quently found to be Mrs. Williams,
the defendant, in which she was dl-
rected to pay $3.50 to messenger
who would appear at a stated time.
Then the accused testified that she
wrote the letter as joke and had

Woman Sustains Unusual and Pain

Mrs. Gus Schlock of near Elberton
was nearly killed by falling tree
early Monday morning. A large limb
of a dead tree struck her on the
head a glancing blow. Half of her
head was completely scalped, begin
ming at the nose just above the eye
and extending horizontally to the
ear and straight up the middle of her
forehead over the crown to the back
of the head. The half scalp was left
swinging over the ear, mass of hair
and rotten wood, mashed to a pulp,
being driven under the scalp. Half
Of the bare skull was exposed, sew
eral of the blood vessels being mash
ed in two, but none of the bones
broken.
Mrs. Schlock and her little son
were picking blackberries when she
was hurt. She was felled to the
ground, and the little boy gave the
alarm, which attracted help. She
was carried to her home and remain
ed in an unconscious condition for
several hours. It is thought that she
has fair chances to recover, though
complications may develop.
