ALASKA'S "SILENT CITY,"
Wonderful Mirage That Is Said 20
Have Been Photographed.

Wonderful Mirage That Is Said to
Have Been Photographed.
One of the best stories regarding q
mirage is that told in Alaska concern
Ing the appearance of a city in the sky.
This silent city" is said to have ac~
tually been photographed. and. though
there are skeptics, enough people claim
to have seen it to make the story inter-
esting.
The first account Of this city of 81
lence" was told by a p%rospector named
Willoughby. He was a miner in Cali
fornia and went to Alaska. where he
settled in the vicinity of Muir glacier.
In fact, it was Willoughby who pilot
ed Professor Muir when he assembled
the immense ice field which now bears
the scientists name. Willoughby al
ways told the story of this city which
appeared in the sky with much ear
nestness, and he carried a photographs
which he said be took after several
visits to the spot whence the vision
could be seen.
When Willoughby first went to Alas
ka natives told him that at certain
times of the year when the days were
longest and the atmospheric conditions
right they say suspended in the heav-
ems a town with streets, houses and
many different kinds Of buildings. So
impressed was he that he engaged the
Indians to take him to the place where
the city could be seen, and in their ca
noes Travelled to the spot.
After several attempts Willoughby
at length saw this 'silent city," as the
natives called it. He said that the at
mosphere was so clear that mountains
many miles away seemed near and
that as he gazed the outlines Of a city
gradually assumed shape, and build
ing after building came to view. He
distinctly saw tall Office buildings.
churches and spires, houses and ev-
cry indication that the city was in
habited; but, though he say it several
times. he could never detect a human
being. A halo Of light seemed to COW
er all. AS he gazed the vision faded
and gradually receded. So convinced
was he that he was looking at the
mirage Of an actual city that he made
records to show that he had 'e-" IN

but enough could be discerned to lead
persons to assert that it was a view

miles away. Willoughby told his story
in 1888 or ~thereabouts. Since then sew
eral persons have said that they saw
the mirage. In every instance the
mirage was surrounded by a halo OF
light which poured a soft glow on roof
and walls.-New York Sun.

The Mockery Of tho Sun

S"'s
~TUART refused to talk to Nan,
went abruptly to his stateroom
~ and spent a night of feverish
dreams. His exhaustion was so
acute restful sleep was impossible.
Through the night his mind went over
and over the horror Of the moment on
that marsh when he had looked into
the depths Of his own soul and seer
the flames of hell.
Between the times of doing uncon-
seriousness. which came at intervals, he
wondered what had become of the two
men in that disabled tender. He wait
ed with dread the revelation the dawn
would bring. He rose with the sun
and looked out Of his stateroom win
dow. The bay was a solid sheet Of
glistenfng ice. The sun was shining
from a cloudless sky, and the great
white field sparkled and flashed like a
sea of diamonds.
He dressed hurriedly, went into the
galley, made a fire and called Nan. He
raped gently on the paneled partition
which separated their staterooms. He
could hear her low, softly spoken an
swer as If there were nothing between
them.

1.-The cook hasn't Gomez" she asked
in surprise.
There was a moments hesitation, and
his voice sounded queer when he quiet
ly answered.:
"No."
In ten minutes she appeared at the
door Of the galley, her hair hanging in
glorious confusion about her face and
the dark yes sparkling with excite
ment.
what on earth does it mean, Jim?"
she asked breathlessly. "Cal could tell
me nothing last night. Why hasn't the
cook returned?"
He may never come, Nan"
"yNhy, Jim?" she gasped.
"They started to tow us in. and the
engine broke down. l think the car

There's a chance in a thousand that
they reached an oyster shanty and

In the meantime you and l will have

Eyes. The bay Is frozen. Our old
guide is a good cook, but he's safe in
harbor ashore. He had too much n
to venture out last night. he can't
get here now until the ice breaks up"
Nan accepted the situation with girl
ish enthusiasm.
The doctor pronounced the meal bet
ter than he had tasted on the trip.

refused to leave his stateroom or al

freeze a light dawned on the little
mans sulking spirits. During the
night the ice softened, and a strong
southerly breeze had swept every piece
of it to sea.
1t was just 8 o'clock, and Nan was

table for breakfast when Stuart heard
the distant drumbeat Of a tenders en-.

In a moment he came back down
the companionway and spoke in quiet
tones:
Its just as l expected. They are
both dead. The guide found them on
the marsh over there, frozen"
"The marsh you and Cal we've on?'
she asked breathlessly.

"And you saved Cal from that?''
she gasped and. turning, fed into her

and help lift the bodies on deck.
Through the paneled wall he heard

the doctors startling announcement.
He hurriedly dressed, came on deck
and for five minutes stood staring into
the white. dead faces.
Without a word he went below and
asked the doctor to call Stuart.
When his old friend entered he took
his hand quietly, and for once in his
life the little, black, piercing eyes
were swimming in tears as he spoke.
You're Il great man, Jim, and,
what's bigger, you're a good one If
God will forgive me for the foolish
things l said and did I'll try to make

Stuart's answer was a nod. a smile
and a pressure Of the hand.
When they were back in New York
the stirring scenes Of Virginia brought
Stuart more and more into intimate
personal relations with Bivens, and
he had taken advantage of the fact to
draw away from his wife. He ceased
to see Nan alone. Bivens' increasing
devotion made this easy, and on Har-
riet's return from Europe with an en-
gagement as understudy in grand
opera his life settled down once more
to the steady development of his
Ideal of service to the common people.
Scarcely a day passed without bring
ing to the young lawyer some remind
er Of Bivens' friendship. Two great
lawsuits involving the principles on
which the structure Of the modern
business world rested were begun in
the federal courts. At the financier's
secret suggestion the more important
Of these vas placed in Stuart's hands.
Bivens hoped to beat the government
in this suit. but in case the people
should win he wanted Stuart to have
the honor.
Stuart could scarcely credit his ears
when Bivens said to him with a
chuckle:
FLOWS your big suit to dissolve the
American Chemical company coming

"We're going to win, beyond the shad-
ow Of a Doubt" was the enthusiastic
reply.

boy, that I threw that job into your

Rich Old Maids Subject
To Inconle Tax Too

Atlanta, Oct. 80 The rich old
maid is no more exempt from the
new national income tax than the
rich old bachelor, according to the
Interpretation put on the law by
Collector of Internal Revenue A.
y. S!eiock here. In fact women
are not exempt at all; they must
swear to their incomes Just as the
men will be required to do.
Unless a single man has more
than $4,000 yearly he need not
pay any income tax. He is en-
tlrely exempt. If married, he is
exempt unless he has more than
$4,000.
The married men say the differ
ence is not great enough; that If
the exemption for single men is
fixed at $4,000 that of married
men should be fixed at at least
double that amount.

Davis Deputies
Named By Mercer

Atlanta, Oct. 29-There appears
to be a difference between State
Game Commissioner Jessie +.
Mercer and his successor, Hon.
Charles l.. Davis of Meriwether.
who goes into Office on Nov. l, re-
garding the appointment of deputy
game wardens throughout the
state.
AS result of the fact that he
held over for about two months
beyond the ordinary expiration Of
his term, Commissioner Mercer
has appointed practically all of
the deputy game wardens in the
state. The majority of these we're
reappointments of deputies who
had served under him for the last
year or more.
DAVIS DISSATISFIED.
The report has gone out over
the state to the effect that Mr..
Davis is much dissatisfied upon be-
ing obliged to go into an office
that will be practically devoid of
patronage for the next year to
come, in addition to which he will
have to do business with Mr..
MERGERS deputies, most of VIII n
are generally considered to be of
opposite political views and in
clinations.
The report has spread that Mr..
Davis upon assuming office, might
question the validity of the APP
pointments which Mr.. Mercer has
made and seek to make a number
of charges. Mr.. Davis himself has
said nothing upon this subject one
way or the other and naturally so,
since he has not yet taken charge
of the office and has had no oppor-
tunlty to investigate the situation.

Man Prosecuted Under
The New Medical Law

Cordele, Oct. Is, -Kennof1
Mott, an Atlanta eye specialist,
who also has Offices at Cordele
and other points over the state,
was made the defendant yester-
day afternoon in the first case
that has been made here under
g new medical law of Georgia.
The charge against him,
brought on technical point, the
substance of which was that he
was practicing medicine without
license, was docketed in justice
court. Local physicians and a
man who claims that he was
treated by the specialist prose-
cuted the case against him. Mott
claimed that he used no medicine
in his practice and no evidence
was brought out to substantiate
the charge against him, the case
being dismissed.
