TAKEN FLOM A MUMMY, ‘The Strange Scarfpin Owned by = Seattle Man. From the Seattle Press-Times. A well-known gentleman of Seattle the other day handed to @ reporter a curious-looking scarfpin, the head of it being of the size of @ small marble, such as is used by boys. Incolor it was of a peculiar reddish amber, and seemed to contain a strange life-like heart, from which a drop of blood seemed fendy to fall. “A heart of fire bedimmed with haze.” ‘hat is it?” asked the reporter. “It is an eye taken from a mummy,” was the reply. “Where was it taken from?” was asked. “I wasat Arica, Peru, in 1882, and took it from a mummy myself,” was the reply. “A number of young men and myself one day were out for eportand dug up half a dozen mummies for the sake of seeing what they had been buried with, We found money, pieces of pottery, &c., but did not strike a gold mine. Nearly all the better class of mummies seemed to have these eyes in them and I took this from one of them. Icould not learn what it was. Some people in Peru contend that it is the natural eye preserved and hardened in some manner, while others think it a fish's eye. They do not bother their heads much about it down there, however. The fact that these evos are found in mummies is sufficient for them. I have never heard of any tradition connected with them. “I took the eye to a jewelry store in San Francisco and tried to get it polished, but could not, although baif a dozen men worked on it. ‘The powder arising from it while they were at | work would make them deathly sick and also get in their eyes and blind them temporarily.

We spent four hours one day in the Cairo street alone and with out our interest flagging either. We went in soon after noon, and before we had gone ten steps we had all but forgottep Chi- cago or that we were in America, for we ‘were almost overturned by one of the little donkeys, which turned an angle and brought his jig trot to a stop just in front of us, jingling his belis in our very faces. Continually these tenga little animals are ridden up. and down ir beat, which is the length of the street, by one or two children at a time, each donkey boy running at the side of his own beastie, urging him on with shoute and calls, his costume just such as he wears at home, the colors chiming with the gay decorations of bis donkey and the neutral tones of the buildings on each side. Just beyond are the rugs spread on the ground where the camels kneel and rise, to iy pad slong also to the end of the street, each with ite burden of American humanity, generally in a state of laughter, and pursued by the laughter of friends at the novel situation. The camels always attract the largest crowd, who apparently never tire of seeing the convulsive Jerks the riders get at the successi’ art and downsitting, s0 to speak. of the big animals,a pitch toward the head, which nearly dislodges one, being followed by a pitch backward equally discomforting. After looking on for a wi at this, and feeling no desire to let the crowd be amused at us as riders, we wandered on, keeping 10 the right of the nar- row roadway and ing in at the different stalls or booths lining the street. A flower girl with black draperies, the lower half of the face covered and the odd ornament over the nose, almost between the eyes, was here, there and everywhere with her basket of flowers, eo exactly like one of the figures wo had seen in an Egyptian picture in the art gal- a that her first appearance was quite start- - rt of the Saleswomen Speak Eng! The fact of the saleswomen being French—if not American—and speaking English, adds to the convenience of shopping here, though de- tracting somewhat from the effect one expecta.

With the utmost non- chalance she returned the curious looks bent on her, drawing her dingy sheet-like covering around her, leaving one black arm and tide quite bare to her waist, while sho rattled the bangles on her wrist and seemed to be choosing a style in which to have her beauty perpetuated in photograph. Her thick, long wool was in innumerable tiny braids, which hung wildly over her head and somewhat over her face, while a rose ornament, apparently screwed into one nostril, crowned the list of her attractions. She chattered a few minutes to the man in charge, who seemed to understand her, then dashed across the street, interviewed the cake merchant there with a rollicking. coquettish air about her. Then off she ran toyard the huts in the rear of the thea- ter. We concluded we would see the rest of these Nubians after this specimen and so fol- lowed her as far as the theater entrance, at which a dark-hued man stood, bawling in intel- lgible English the numerous attractions to be seen within. A rough platform in the center is the stage, an aisle of bare ground is left on three sides of it, then against the wooden walls of the struc- ture a narrow bench is built, where the spec- tators ait. ‘The Performance. The place filled up a few minutes after our entrance and the performance began. A man ‘1m the dress of 3 Turk acted as ringmaster, e1 couraging the dancers and walking around to inspire the audience with enthusiasm. A group of men squatting on one side of the stage made the hideous noise which is extracted from the musical instruments, and at first only a single dancer appeared to accompany all the racket. Black and savage looking, the most noticeable feature of his costume & deep fringe of shells around his waist, and his dancing con- sisted in shaking these until they rattled like castanets as he postured and jumped. Just as this was gotting monotonous, out ran a baby of two years or #0, dressed exactly like the man, who, amid the loud applause of the audience, went through a similar performance, rattling his shell girdleand entering with such spirit into hus role that he was quite irresistible. After his part had gone on a little while his mother, ap- parently, appeared and led him down to make the tour of the benches for nickels and dimes, and his little black baby hand was filled many times before he finished his round; then he danced again and more money was thrown to him on the stage, the man dancer pretending to run for it also, and thus rousing his infant ire. After this the whole troupe came on, the woman we had seen outside among them, evidently “leading lady.” too, and for fifteen ‘minutes or 80 we watched the savage gyrations of this bit of “Darkest Africa,” which has been transported thither to amuse and instruct the visitors to this great world’s fair. The Mummies. Near the Nubians and at the end of the Cairo street looms up the temple of “Laksor,” and here also we went in. This has the imposing title of “Egyptological exhibit, a company graciously authorized by H. H. the Khedive of Eayp' and a list of its special features on the handbill presented at the door, includes the Mummy of Rameses II, oppressor of Is- raclites. Mummy of Sethi I, whose daughter found Moses. Mummy of Hirhor I, father-in-law of King Soloman. We were just in time for the sacred dance of the ancient Egyptians, which is interesting, though monotonous, like all of the oriental dancing. The laughing, dark-brown face of one of the men dancers, who wore the only white costume among them, was at once the center of attraction, for every one was attracted by it, and as he threw himself inio the postur- ing with more abandon than any of the others and clapped his hands more loudly he was at once the favorite. After this dance, which went on below the high stage where the three musicians sat, two dancing girls, in turn, went through ‘their evol:tions upon ‘the stage and the je set program was finished and visitors walked around the line of mummies which was on edch side of the large room. We dis the enticing legend “Tombs of the which was over the doors leading into unknown regions at the back of the stage, and contented ourselves with inspecting the hideous mummies which are so faithfully reproduced. One is labeled “Clbmos I, XVIII D., 1520 B. C., who drived away the shepheard king from Egypt.” The mummy of “Hubor, father-in-law of King Solomon,” seems like rather concentrating matters when one remembers Solomon's thou- sand wives.

We were rather amused at a party of ladies who had entered before us, ranged themselves singly along the best seats in front and sat there waiting without giving any order to give them aright to them. After looking askance at them for a time a pretty waitress advanced and asked if the ladies had given their order yet. So, rather to our satisfaction that their greediness had been officially observed, they were compelled to have refreshments served, ther tt wanted them or not. By this time our expected procession was in sight and every one was crowding around the outskirts, The Bridal Procession. With din of musical instruments the master of ceremonies came first, then the camels and people following; finally came an empty palan- quin borne by men, and after them walked the attendants of the ‘bride, followed bya figure entirely covered with voluminous drapery, sup- porably the bride herself. ‘The bridegroom was not so easily distinguished, but as they were not apparently either of them very important in the procession it did not matter. master of ceremonies cleared a space in the center of the or in front of us.

How the Under Eye Works Its Way to the Side He Selects to Be His Back. From Harper's Young People. Some of you may have heard the saying “as flat asa flounder,” and have not stopped to think. What I wish to tell you is why this fish is flat, and what happens because it is flat, If you have ever seen one in market or else- where you know that the upper and under parts of its body are of different colors and that its two eyes are, strangely enough, both on the same side of the head. If you were to see one in the water you would notice that it swam not upright, as other fish swim, but lying over on one side, with its eyes on top. Now all these things—the flatness, the two eyes together, the twisted mouth, the differ- ently colored sides, the peculiar ‘swimming— come from the fact that the flounder is not and never has been an over-brave fish. We cannot blame the poor creatures much, because they have no way to defend themselves, as swordfish and some others have. Their neighbors enjoy eating them; they know that they are weak, and 20 they took, ages ago, to hiding at the bottom of the water. This has been done so long that now they have actually lost the power to come to the surface. Other fish rise and sink by means of an air bladder. ‘Those of our friends that used theirs and rose were pounced pon and eaten. The poor scared ones that hid at the bottom and saved their lives had no need of the rising apparatus, and now, as is always the case when an organ is not used, they have Jost it. But when the flounder took to his hiding place at the bottom he did not settle himeclf at all comfortably, according to our ideas of nsh comfort, Instead of an upright position, with the two sides equally up, he chose, for some reason. to lie over entirely on one of them, with the other side up. This position accounts for the differently colored sides. That on which he lay was protected always from the sunlight and lost its color. The upper has come to be the color of the bottom on which he lives, be that color what it may. That is should be so is not rostrangeasit seems. A bright flounder shining onadark bottom is easily seen by its enemies, and seized and eaten. The same would be true of a dark fish in o bright coral home. Those who lived to bave familios of their own were those whose color was most like the color of their home. Only the safest color was transmitted, and so, the world over, members of this family aro the color of sand, or mud, or gravel, or shell, or coral, according to the place of their abode. Some are even knot wonderfully like their home. We find, for the same reason. arctic animals white, and desert insects the color of sand. Another result of the flatness of this flat-fish family to which the flounder belongs is that its exes are both on top of its head. We can best soe How they have gotten together, and how other changes have taken place, by noticing the growth of a young flounder. In the very be- ginning of its existence the baby fish is a clear, transparent little thing. Itstwo eyes aro where well-regulated eyes should be, on opposite sides of the head, and it swims vertically in the water, as do ‘other fish. But in a few days the infuence of a long line of flounder ancestry is felt. He, too, takes to lying on one side—gen- erally, but not always, the left. Tho exposed skin darkens. In this ‘position the view of the under eye is somewhat limited, and it squints upward toward a larger one. It begins to move; it turns the corner and comes to the top. There {t takes a stand. The mouth twists upward and the young fish swims along sidewise on the bottom, ee eS The Florids Volcano, From the Orlando (Fis. ) Recorder. J. Q. Martin, one of the many who have tried to solve the mystery of the Florida “volcano,” believes that he has been successful, He says: “I had prospected for phosphate in Leon, Tay- lor and Jefferson counties for capitalists in Atlanta and Rome, Ga.,and Jast summer I tried my luck in the country about that swamp supposed to hold a volcano. It is called the *Pinhook’ by the natives, and is many square miles in extent. It lies on the Gulf of Mexico, Taylor and partly in Jefferson county. ‘The reasons I came to penetrate the swamp were two—to see if it contained red cedar and if the land was high enough and dry enough to attempt to drain. Two of my helpers were sick and the other had to go and seo his sick family, 80 could do no prospecting for phosphate for some time, and I concluded to enter the swamp alune. “‘As the land outside sloped toward the south, I knew the swamp must do the same, and I en- tered it from the north side, to be bothered with water as little as possible. "Had my pre- decessors done the same they would have es- caped many of the pools and canebrakes. I cnt well-blazed path due south and took my time. I had plenty of provisions along and went back to fetch my things up after I had cut ahead some distance. ‘The growth was very dense at places, but I was raised on the coast of South Carolina and was one of the surveying ty of Okefinokee swamp three years ago, so Fivas used to the work. I’ did not find mach of the red cedar, but a kind of cedar or juniper, supposed to grow nowhere else in the world than along the Chattahochee river in Florida, I found in ‘abundance. I saw plenty of signs of and heard at night both bears sud panthers, but I'saw very few. I killed probably 100 tur- keys and one deer. “After having gone about one-third the length of the swamp the ground began to be honeycombed with holes, sometimes five fect deep, made by fire. The ground was dry be- tween them, but vines, briers and fallen logs everywhere made progress difficult. The water in the deepest hole was salt, from which I take it that the land in that part is but little above high tide of the gulf. One night I cam an open place and had made up my mind to go back noxt day. ‘The mosquitoes and owls kept me awake and I slept but little. Isome- times heard a booming noise in the distance, and saw flames reflected on thesky. I had almost forgotten the ‘volcano,’ bat took my bearings and resolved to go there the next dav. “Well, I traversed worse ground than I had thought could exist. Holes everywhere, with very miry bottoms; sometimes ponds acres in extent, hollowed ‘ont by fire. The air was smoky and the stench from dend fish and rotten water terrible, in the hotsun. At noon I came where the ground was still burning—and here was the solution of the mystery. “The earth was solely composed of coarse vegotablo matter, which burns live tinder when not too wet. In the heaviest rains some fire that bas got into a rotten log will smolder for weeks, only to ignite the ground again when dry enough. At some places a kind of moss grew which shed water like a rubber coat. A subterranean outlet for rainwater drains the land. Sometimes there would bea heavy gro wth of pine needles fall point foremost, and often straddle the twigs, When the fire comes to such a place the dry pine needles burn on the bushes to their very tops, and the flames next devour the tops of the pines themselves. The smoke is black as night, and will ascend for days and be seen ata iong distance, and at night the sky looks red. And this is all there is about the “Florida voleano.’ 1 could guide ‘any one to the spot. It must have burned for 100 years, and there is muck enough to burn for 1,000 years to come.” -2ee- A Dead Man.
