Proud City Of Smyrna.

Smyrna can lay claim to loftier
lineage than perhaps any other city
on the earth. 1t is her proud boast
that from the earliest dawn of history
down to the present bombardment her
continuity of name and fame is un-
broken. 1t is in this spirit that she
claims Homer for citizen. His river,
the Meles, which gave him name,
runs near the city; and the cave is
still shown where he wrote his poems.
Smyrna has not been slack in appro
priating Homer, cndowing him even
with a local temple, The saddest chap
ters in the history of the city are
those which record earthquakes and
massCcres of Greeks by Turks.

water was smooth, they saw, as 1t
seemed to them. the whole sea bottom
among the weeds set with eyes.
Ugly swinew cried one of the men
"Why, there's dozens"
And forthwith the things began to
rise through the water about them.
Mr.. Fison has since described to the
writer this startling eruption out of
the waving laminaria meadows. To
him it seemed to occupy a consider

help, and then he thought OF the
child. He abandoned his oar forth
with, threw up his arms in frantic
gesture, and screamed to the party in
the boat to keep away 'for Gods
sake!" 1t says much for the modesty
and courage OF Mr.. Fison that he docs
not seem to be aware that there was
any quality Of hcroiSm in his action
at this juncturc. The oar he had
abandoned was at once drawn under.
and presently rcappearcd floating
about twenty yards away.
At the same moment Mr.. Fison felt
the boat under him lurch violently,
and a hoarsc scream, a prolonged cry
of terror from Hill, the boatman,
caused him to forget the party of cx-
cursionists altogether. He turned, and
saw Hill crouching by the forward
rowlock, his face convulsed with ter
ror, and his right arm over the side
and drawn tightly down. He gave
now a succession OF short. sharp cries,
"Oh! oh! oh!-oh!" Mr.. Fison be-
lieves that he must have been hacking

At first they could see little below

with an occasional darling fish. Their
minds were set on adventure. and
they expressed their disappointment
freely. But presently they saw ono
OF the monsters swimming through
the wafer scaward, with a curious roll
