ened at the balloon. They had heard
OF these vehicles of the Italians and
had fair idea of what they were.
The chief told the officer that his
city was but one of scores scattered
about the region. that they were all
good Mohammedans, and that they
had lived So for many centuries.
But the most astonishing of the
things found by Lieutenant Cora
tello were several small figures
made OF baked clay which had been
made as hard IS rock by time. These
figures resemDled closely the figures
found in the mysterious Hypogeum
OF Malta. The Hypogeum is one OF
the mysteries OF the world. 1t is a
place of curved corridors and curved
rooms beneath the surface Of the
island. Who built it no man knows,
nor does any man know its purposes.
There was found within it number
of clay figures. each of which por-
trayed enormously fat men and
women, some nude. some clothed in
flowing robes. These images only
added to the puzzle of what the
Hypogeum was.
The chief showed the lieutenant
little objects which he at once rec
ognized as similar TO those OF Malta.
He was told tina. these had been
made by the ancestors of the cave
dwellers long, long ago. The Mo-
hammedan religion forbids the cary
ing or making of anything in the
likeness of living beings, whether
man or bird. beas~ or reptile. The
chief explained that the figures
were of great holiness and, having
been made before the time of Mo-
hammed, the elders had felt that
they did not come under the ban.
Indeed he intimated that they were
too sacred to be destroyed, even If
they had come under that ban.
We're the ancestors of the Troglo.
dytes the people who cut out that
wonderful place known as the Hy-
pogeum? And ii so how did they
get to the African desert, and why
did they leave Malta? What was
the purpose of the Hypogeum?
These are all questions that we
have hope of seeing answered.
THESE Troglodytes are Of two
kinds, those who live under the
ground and those who have their
burrows in the strange hills Of the
region The latter are called the
Climbers" because of their mode
Of living. They make their homes
in the most inaccessible places. but
their lairs are exactly the same al
those who live beneath the surface.
Sill another cf these strange peo-
pie build their homes one above
the other. They enter them by
flutching projecting stones and leap
ing from one TO the other in most
perilous fashion. They do it exact
ly as do monkeys. No white man
can emulate them. The leaplng and
clutching stones have been worn
smooth and a!e polished by ages of
use.
Of the rock dwellings the most
curious is Douirat. which has been
described as "a beehive mountain

years. They go back to the earliest
days of men.
The existence of the troglodytes
of Northern Africa was first ade-
Quately described by an American
traveller, Mr.. Frank Edward John
son. who went to the cave city
called Matmata and soiourned there
with its chief for many days. Be
fore that two French archeologists
and n Danish explorer were the
only ones to penetrate their strange
homes. The city discovered by
p 2" lay farther back in the desert
and is larger than any hitherto
known even so meagerly; and IL
had never before seen a white man.
Lieutenant Coratello, the officer
in charge of the dirigible, walked
about the place. Around the holes
were carefully cultivated fields fed
by bitches from two large springs.
There was no human being visible
anywhere. The officer looked into
one Of the openings. 1t was eight
feet wide and ladders led down into
it. The interior was very dark.
The officer began to sing, and soon
some men emerged from an open
ing. They were little men and very
dark. They spoke a form of Arabic
and fortunately the officer could
make himself understood
One of The men was the chief of
the village, and he invited Lieu
tenant Coratello down into his
home. The homes were literally
burrows. The ladder led into the
top stories and steps led down into
the other rooms OF the burrows. The
places had apparently been first
natural caves in the rock and had
been enlarged and extended through
centuries. The chiefs house boasted
seven stories, and how many rooms

FREEHOLDER ADMITS HE

Cape May County Official Best
Witness Against Himself.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.. June 49,
The trial Of William S. Johnson, free
holder. charged with accepting S1O0
bride to support the mythical fran
ohise and bridge scheme got up by
w. w. Burns and his detectives and
operatives as trap, is attended by
nearly every politician of Cape May
county.
Johnson is So years old, and the evil
dence against him was not very strong
until he himself took the stand in his
own defense. The old gentleman got
so confused and so disturbed and so
flustered that the manifest sympathy
for him in the courtroom changed to
merriment at his expense. Johnson was
still on the stand when the trial was
adjourned until today. The general
opinion is that he has inadvertently
proved by far the best witness for the
State.
He admitted that he took the S100,
declared that he went to MADDEN Hall
after getting suspicious, and offered
the 800 back to John o. Whiting the
Burns operative, who posed as the
bridge and trolley road promoter. Up
to this point the story of johnson and
the story of the detective agreed, but

detective but actually paid ii back

CANCER DURABLE,

Eminent Physicians Declare.
ton Relates to Disease When
1t Attacks the Stomach.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, June 1S.-
That cancer of the stomach is a
durable disease was the declaration
of DR.. William D. Mayo. of Roches-
ter, Mimi, before the American Medi-
cal Association today.
"A favorable diagnosis can be
established by simple methods" he
asserted. "A history of gastric dis
turbance precedes cancer in a large
number, if not the majority of cases.
Operations for cancer of the stomach
should begin as an exploration. Mod
crate involvement of the pancreas
does not necessarily preclude opera
ton. Palliative operations have a
field of usefulness.
DR.. Mayo gave a review of sta
tistics of signs and symptoms OBJ
served in one thousand patients
operated on. for cancer of the
stomach.
Radium as q physical agency was
discussed in a paper by DIR. Howard
A. Kelly, OF Baltimore, Nd. Its ac-
ton, he said. is local and it is
destined to be potent aid in the
treatment Of gynecology. He as
serted that radium will cure some
cancers and will especially eliminate
many cases of local recurrence which
are difficult to treat by many of the
customary surgical methods.
It's Importance in the treatment of
f1broid tumors is just beginning to be
recognized. 1t checks hemorrhage
and in some cases materially de-
creases the size of the growths. In
pelvic infiammatory disease its use is
very hopeful, but this he said, is still

Lantern slides were used by DR.. j.
A. STICKY, of Lexington. KY, to illus
trate a paper on trachoma among the
mountaineers of eastern Kentucky.
The increase of this disease jim twenty
five years among the Angles axons
of these mountains led DR.. STICKY to
make a trip of observation through
five counties on mule back.
Trachoma among the Indians was
discussed in a paper by DR.. ]. w.
Scheresehewsky, of Washington. D.
c. He asserted that of $4,000 Indians
in the United States, II per cent. were
suffering from trachoma.
Six thousand needless cases of
blindness occur in the United States
each year. This statement was made
by Henry Copley Greene, agent for
the conservation of eyesight of the
Massachusetts Commission for the
Blind.
While DIR. c. ID. Camp. of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, had noted no undue pro-
portion of cases of epilepsy and pare
sis among locomotive engineers and

be in the interest of the travelling

positions as to these affections.
