IS THERE A DROWNED CONTINENT
BENEATH TREACHER0US ATLANTIC?

| imagination of surviving mankind and
made an neffaceable impression upon
succeeding ages.
Lord Bacon named one of his most
important works The New Atlantis -
and through all literature the story of
the vanished continent has left its
traces. 1t is one of the greatest le-
gends in human history.
When the new science of geology be-
gan to be cultivated it was thought, at
first that it furnished unquestionah e
corroboration of Plato's story, because
it seemed to demonstrate that the seas
and lands of this globe had often
changed places in past times; and if
that were so, evidently it was perfectly
possible for a continent to have once
occupied a large part of what is now
the Atlantic Ocean.
In the latter half of the nineteenth
century the science of oceanography
was developed, and exploring ships
were sent through all the great seas,
armed with sounding apparatus cap
able of reaching depths of several
miles The soundingS then made re-
veaIed the fact that the bottom of the
Atlantic is very irregular, sinking at
some places in vast depressions rising
elsewhere in broad plateaus, and oc-
cupied at certain points by mount
ainOus elevations, whose peaks occa-
sionally attain the surface.
Then it was guessed that the Azores
Islands might be remnants of drowned
Atlantis, and an attempt was made to
trace the outlines of former lands con-

Biologists Exaggerated Sea Shifts.
Speculative thinkers began to theor-

American continent by the passage of
races of men over this supposed land
bridge, and thus an explanation was
imagined of the curious resemblances
between the civilization and the archi-
tectural remains of the eastern and
western worlds.
But no generally accepted conclusions
were reached, and more recently doubt

A man asks me by letter: WAS there
ever continent, or island, of At
lantis. and did it really sink to the
bottom of the Atlantic ocean, as 1 have
read?"
To begin with, I wish to say to the
writer of that letter: Your question
does you credit, for it shows that YOU
are capable of thinking of something
else than the everyday affairs of this
narrowly busy world. You have mag
ination, and whoever has that can live
very happily even though he succeeds
in getting but little money"
I do not know, and nobody knows,
whether there ever was an Atlantis,
but the great Greek philosopher Plato
said there was, and his history of what
ancient traditions told about its Won
ders and its awful fate is one of the
most interesting ever written.
Plato said that Atlantis was a large
continent, situated in the Atlantic,
west of the Strait of Gibraltar; that
it was the scene of marvellous civili-
zation such as the world, up to his
time, had never again witnessed; that
it contained populous cities. with beaG-
tiful palaces, and broad cultivated
lands, teemiEg with the richest pro-
ducts of the soil and that suddenly, it
was overwhelmed by a flood of waters
and sank beneath the sea, leaving only
the tips of a few mountains projecting
above the waves.
Other Writers Mentioned Atlantis.
Other writer's of ancient times men
toned the legend of lost Atlantis
Solon, the Athenian sage and law
giver, who lived nearly 600 years before
Christ, is said to have heard about it
during his travels in distant lands. But
even in his time the memory of the
sunken continent had almost vanished
and the traditions concerning it We're
contradictory and uncertain. Yet, be
cause they were so persistent AMI
widespread, it is reasonable to con-
clude that there happened in remote
antiquity some overwhelming cata-
clysm that powerfully affected the

has been thrown upon the whole sub
ject by the growing belief that the
earlier biologists exaggerated the ex
tent to which seas and lands have
changed places.
1t is now generally held that the
ocean basins have always been depres
sions filled with water, and that the
great continents, as a whole, have
never been under a deep sea. The
waters which once covered immense
areas in North America and other con-
tinents were shallow basins, and u
relatively slight change of level suf-
feed to turn them into dry land. The
deposits found on the floor of the At
lantic,i in its deeper portions, far from
the shores, are of a character which
indicates that they have been accumu-
lating uninterruptedly for countless
ages.
At the same time, it is practically
certain that some of the great archi-
pelagos which lie near the shores of
continents like the East India Islands,
were once connected with those con-
tinents.
changes of sea level that have oc-
cured elsewhere were, in some cases,
sufficient to submerge an area of con-
tinental extent. So, it may be that the
question of the former existence of
continent or at least great island,
somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean is
still open.
But if future exploration should re-
veal its rocky skeleton lying at the
bottom of the sea, there is hardly the
remotest chance that any indications
of the brilliant life which Plato said
once covered it would be found.
The discovery of fossils in those
rocks, however, would be irrefragab bic

Mr.. Bowser had coughed his cough
on the street car and made a success
of it. That is, the conductor had told
him that if he did it again he would
call a policeman, and an old party
with a crouch had shrugged his shoul
ders and loudly remarked:
Il predicted earthquakes if Wilson
was elected, and now we've got one!
When he came home with his cough
the other evening Mrs. Bowser was
ready to say:
Il saw the doctor this afternoon
about your cough"
81 didn't ask you to-" was the re-
ply.
But I was worried. He said those
deep coughs should be attended to at
once"
And his fee will be $3!"
But you'll get prescription,
won't your"
You needn't have worried. I've
got the remedy right here. By morn
ing the cough will have vanished
I'm so gladi What is it and where
did you get it?"
There it is,'' he said, as he pulled
a pint bottle from his pocket and held
it up to view. "Dr. McGillicuddy
happened in the office and heard me
cough and went right out and had
this put up for me-
Mrs. Bowser wanted to ask if the
doctor didn't charge five dollars for
his kindness, but hoping 1t might be
a cure she said nothing. 1t was at
the table, after dinner that Mr.. Bow
ser poured out half a glass of the
remedy and threw back his head and
downed it.
Good lands." gasped Mrs. Bowser.
THE doctor told me to take lib
eral doses and often. He said you
couldn't dilly- daily with one of these
earthquake coughs"
Twenty minutes later he began to
look balmy.
Then he took dose number two.
Ten minutes after dose number two
he had the cat on his lap and was
saying she was the best cat in all
this world. He also whistled a jolly
air.
"You must be feeling better?" ven-
tured Mrs. Bowser.
You bet! No Quack about DR.. Nc
Gillicuddy. He says to me, says he:
'Bowser, you are in a bad way,
but I can cure you. Take this and
take big doses and often
That's what he said, Mrs. Bowser,
and it's time for another dose"
The third dose had been down
about 10 minutes when the man with
the earthquake cough rose up and
chased the cat around the room and
sat down and laughed and slapped
his leg.

remedy was composed of" demand

And he leaned back and sang:

BY a deft motion Mrs. Bowser took
possession of the "dandylion" cough
cure and then she turned to the clock
on the mantel and whirled the hands
around until they marked IL o'clock.
Then she said:

Cant feller have a cough?" he
asked, after thinking the matter over
for a minute,

''Well, haven't I got a cough?"
But the doctor played a trick on
you. That was brandy you brought
home. The doctor ought to be horse
whipped. If the minister of our
church should call, and he may, what
on earth could say to him? Think of
the situation, Mr.. Bowser, and do as
l ask you to-
Don't you worry, Mrs. Bowsher-
don't you worry tall. If minister calls
you run downshtairs and leave him to
me-"
Good heavens,"
I'll answer bell and tell him to
walk right in. If he asks FIR you Ill

like to hear shongs, don't zhey? I'll
shing him my crow-song, and I'll bet

Mrs. Bowser was walking the floor
and wondering what to do, and didn't
answer:
After waiting a moment to draw a
long breath and get new brace Tor
his toes, Mr.. Bowser roared out:
Il asked That crow to have a nip
To have a nip;
And he shays to me ash he comes
down:

ears from behind and shook his head
to and fro, but he went on with the
last verse just the same.

This last verse was roared so loud
that Mrs. Bowser walked down the
hall and opened the front door.
There was a policeman standing at the
gate and she beckoned to him.

BOWSER'S COUGH-CURE.
1t Brought Laughter and Song and a
Policeman.

Mr.. Bowser had had a cough for
three or four days. 1t was no little
cough for a cent, but it was a broad
deep cough that rivaled the Scotland
Lightship foghorn.
1t was cough that seemed to start
way down to his toes and work up
ward on a slow scale. 1t groaned and
grunted and rumbled as it worked.
1t made his eyes bulge out and his
ears work. What hair he had on his
head stood up and his toes cracked.
That cough had set Mrs Bowser's s
teeth on edge and made the cook
think of rats gnawing a file.
