Six months Iater.i he invited the members of the Ar- | cheological society to accompany him | on an excursion to that village, prom- ising them a rare treat. He chartered a special car for the ! occasion; and it was not until the | party was well started on its journey ! that the president enlightened any of | his guests as to the real object of the i trip. | Then, Mr. Ingleton told them that, | in the previous spring, hearing of a | most remarkable find at Somnolton, | he had at once proceeded to that vil- | lage and purchased eight acres- of land immediately surrounding the . spot at which the discovery had been made. For months past, he had had a gang of men digging and delving in | this tract; and he himself had per- sonally sifted thousands of tons of earth and rubbish that they had thrown up. He announced, with a singular mix- ture of pride and modesty, that he had found many things of immense arche- ological interest and historic value. The present party, he sald, would be the first persons to view the results ! of his labors. On their arrival at Somnolton, the president conducted his guests to the | scene of excavations, the entire tract : being enclosed by a high boarding. He let them in at a small gate, and led them to a one-story brick building : of recent erection. J Inside, he showed them skeletons and other objects of interest, which, ; he informed them, had been found | buried under the solid rock, and in many cases actually embedded there- ! in. After an excellent dinner at the vil- lage hotel, the company repaired to the schoolhouse to hear the presi- dent's address; and many of the vil- lagers came in and occupied seats ' near the door. After telling of the news of the finding of the horseshoe—which first brought him to Somnolton—Mr. Ingle- | ton gave them figures, showing the number of tons of rock and earth that had been blasted and dug up; | and dwelt in detail upon the skeletons and other ohjects that had been found, all pointing to the presence of man in this locality in the early twilight of | the ages. Here, he said, they found a city buried at a depth of 20 to 30 feet, un- der the solid rock and clay—not as | one found cities in the old world, | buried under two or three feet of | earth, which had accumulated natural- 1y in the course of a few centuries. “Here,” he went on, “we have traces of a civilization so remote that the | brain reels in the attempt to conceive | any adequate idea of its antiquity. .Here, my friends, a civilized people | lived and loved and wrought and died, eons and eons ago. “That it was no rude, barbaric peo- | ple that inhabitated this region, but a race learned in letters and skilled ' even in those manufactures the ori-! gin of which we are wont to arrogate to our own generation, is sufficiently ' evidenced by this interesting fact: “Under skull of a venerable | sage—whose skeleton you have seen‘, for yourselves (the skeleton numbered 6), we found, in a remarkable state of preservation, a roll of manuscript, written in a language unknown at the | present day—strange hieroglyphics, my | friends, cabalistic signs—pregnant with the wisdom of an intellect in- finitely superior to that of man as he is today. “But, still more remarkable, per- haps, than the writings themselves, is the fact that they are done upon pa- per—upon paper much the same in texture as that now in common use. Somewhat ecoarse, it may appear to us; but the marvel is that it should have endured at all, after the flight of an eternity. “I frankly confess, my friends, that I am not deeply learned in philological lore; but, at the proper time, these manuscripts will be submitted to ex- perts; and my impression is that in these cabalistic signs will be traced an affinity to the ancient Sanskrit. “The grandeur of Egypt's pyramids, the mysterious inscriptions of the ru- ined temples of Central America, pale in interest before these priceless man- uscripts that, so near our own homes, we have wrested from the heart of Mother Earth, where they have re- posed in peace and security from an infinite antiquity.” As the cheers that greeted the pres- jdent’'s peroration subsided, the vil- lage patriarch rose in the rear of the to scribble on any piece of paper that he could get hold of, and try to make letters same as he saw in his mother's Bible. “Well, Mary died, and when they put her in the coffin, Danny cried for them to put his ‘Di'ry’ in there along with his sister. Y'see, he used to call the stuff he scrawled on odd bits of paper his ‘Di'ry, an' this ‘di'ry’ and his sister Mary were the two things he loved most in the world, so he | wanted them to go together. “l1 was kind o' broke up after Mary's death, and went away to the | city for a time to forget my trouble. “One day as I was coming back, rid- ing my old nag, I'd got within about two miles of the settlement, when I hears a terrific rumbling noise. Look- ing towards the village I sees a tre- mendous cloud o' dust, wi’ stones an’ ' all sorts of things flying. Seemed as it | the hull mountain was a-fallin’ down | top of the place. “By the time I reached the spot where my home should have stood, tons of earth and rock had fallen on the village, burying it to a depth of more'n 20 feet. Every man, woman an' child perished. I was the only one out of the original 60 settlers left alive. “I couldn’t tear myself away from the place where all my friends lay buried, so built myself a shanty, and I've lived to see the village grow up again. “That's all 1 had to say. You've found traces of an extinct civilization, all right; but it's only been extinct about 54 years. “These skeletons you've dug up are the bones of my friends that were buried in the landslide; and the an- | cient writin’ a8 y're puzzlin' over is Danny Hogan's Di'ry—written on | scraps of paper that sugar an’ candies and 'baccy came wrapped up in.” (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) SINGING AS HEALTH BUILDER Physical Benefits That Are Derived From Deep Breathing Are Many and Varled. Some interesting data gathered abroad show that the practice of sing- ing, merely as a physical exercise, is one of the most healthful in which a person of any age can employ himself. There were examined in St. Peters- burg 222 singers from nine to fifty- three years of age, with reference to the pneumatometric and spirometric conditions of the singers, and it was shown that the circumference of the ! chest is greater, relatively and abso- lutely, among singers than among those who do not sing, and that it in- creases with the age and growth of the singer, London Tit-Bits states. The fact is corroborated by the expe- | rience of skillful trainers of the voice who combine with tone building a physical training based upon anatomi- cal and hygienic science. It is asserted by certain of these authorities that many of the ills which | afflict humankind arose from faulty breathing, by which the lungs are but partially quence, the poisons which should be thrown off by the breath are absorbed into the system, causing ‘all manner of mysterious diseases. One cannot sing without breathing deeply. The muscles of the chest and abdomen must have full play, the body must be erect and every facility | must be given for the ingress of the ' { air to the lungs. little consequence if the singer eannot | breathe freely and to the very bottom | A fine voice is of of the lungs.

None of the dressmakers advocate fullness over the hips. Here and there one sces isolated cuses cf hip drapery, lut the newest feshions do not call tor it. In all the best gowns for street i.nd evening, the hips are flattened out as though they had been pressed with a hot iron. This is to accentuate the fullness at knees and hem. There are various ways of obtaining the desired flatness. It is not all a question of hip yokes. There are box plaits running from waist to hem; there are long pointed segments of cloth that run nearly to knees which divide the fullne: d keep it av from the hips; there are plastered bits of barbaric embroidery from which spring circular sides that flare at the hem. Each of the French dressmakers has a diifferent way of maintaining smoothness just below the waist, and to these original methods the Ameri- cans have added. One of the fashions that France in- troduced last June is the foundation stone of all t lothes of today. This is the long, straight upper part of the gown which sometimes develops into a tunic, or which ends at the wide sash placed over the hips. b There is nothing strikingly new about this chemise-iike bodice, for it has been worn continuously for three months, but the dressmakers exploited it in the new clothes and we shall doubtless wear it uitil Christmas. If° anything newer is invented, it will probably come from an American atelier, for there is no reason to sup- pose that France will produce new ideas in the nearby months; there are | quite enough over here now to satis(y\ even the most exacting woman. It is probable that this long, child-| like garment—for it really is juvenile —which has slim simplicity as its foundation, and is called Moyen-age for want of a better term, will prove | an obstacle to a good appearance as much as the over full skifts will do,! but if care is taken with it, and atten- | | tion paid to the way it is cut and trimmed, the general result will not be as bad as prophesied. One sees the garment in every fab- | ric, and it will be unfortunate if one | sees it on every figure. It, like all the fashions for the last four years, is primarily intended for the modern fig- ure that has been developed throu(h! fashion, or the other way around—no one knows which.
