L, U, Herandeen, a mariner who has #ent years in sailing the track- less Pacific, related to a Call reporter a few days ago facts that he had cbserved which tend to prove the theory sat forth by Dana that there is an immense area of the Pacific ocean bed, lying under the cquator, about 6,000 miles in length and and about 3,000 miles in breadth, that has been gradually sinking lower and lower for thousands of years, till now land that was once lying in the sun and wathed by the waves 18 buried in fath omless dopths, The following Is the interesting story told by Capt, Heran- deen: *‘There 1s simple evidence that a vast area In the Central Pacific ocean, now sunk far decper than the fathom line coes was once above the surfacs of the tos, and most probably inhabited by a raco of people far superior in intelligence always very smusing to me, when I passed beneath the notes of the people in the pews, to watch the varled expres- elons on the faces above me. There was old Mrs, Galoon, for example. She was the widest-awake woman you ever saw, on ordinary cccasions; but when 1 camo around she was always fast asleep-— or preteuded to be—snd, though I often gavo her a good hearty nudge, it rover amounted to anything; she never so much as quivered, but sat as immovable as a marble statue, with her eyes as close shut a8 the jaws of a eprang bear-rap. I did catch hier once, however, by returaing unexpectedly to her pow, siter having psssed by it. Her eyes wero wido opcn, but a8 s0on as she saw me she lcoked up toward the ceiling with a heavenly ex- pression, as thongh lost in plous medita— tlon, Jgstayed as long as 1 dared, but It wasno uee Her eyes never quit the rafters, and I had to give It up and move on, “Then thera was Grabemall, the rich contractor. It almost made me split my sidey sometlmes to sco the ostentatious way in which he would drop a nickle Into wy pouch. I knew, of coarse, just how much he contributed; but everybody else suppesed, trom the air of carelees prodl- gality which he pat on, that ho had given $5, at the very least. How different his manner was from that of widow Goode, who sat just behlnd him! She never gave lees than a dollsr.

I afterwards found out that their mother gave them 10 cents apleco, and they used to buy candy with it, and feed me on sweetmeats. But perhaps the young scamps were not really so bad; after all. Poesibly they thought the lit- tle heathen chilaren might like a little candy now end then, as well as them- selves. “I have noticed that peoplo liked to slt behind the man who gave a dollar bill, They all of them always gave something —or, at least, appeared to give something —and I have been so uncharitable as to think that they wanted to have it seem to the pews back of them that it was they who coniributed the dollar, and not the little bald-headed man In the front seat. I suppose one reason why I got this idea into my head was becauss when the first pew gave only a small piece of money I wouldn’t receive another cent in the whole aisle; as though, so I fancled, everybody was afraid te give himeelf away, as they say nowadays. ‘I used to smile when the deacon who carried me around would stand up before the whole congregaticn and throw a whole handful of coin into my pocket. Evory- body got the impresslon that the good deacon was a very bensvolent gentleman, and I more than half believe he thoughtso himself, Hls face looked like a horn of plenty, and he gave tho money in such an abstracted manner that though nobody could fail to seo the operation, everybody must have thought that he was ‘quite obllvious of any one's presence. But between you and me, the deecon never put in any money. not a cent, I assure you, When be went to church, he always had a tin disk. Of course they were always dis- covered when the money was counted; but everybody lald™ it to the boys up in the gallery. How- ever, the deason’s contributlons did a power of good, not o much for its in. trineic worth as from the beautlfal exam. ple it afforded to others, If the deacon could be ko Liberal, others felt as though they could glve generously also, There's nothing so potent in this world, after all, a8 a good example, “I couldn’t begin to tell you all the queer things I've scen,” continued the contribution box, ““Some folks who koew hadn't pald thelr butch- er for slx months would give Lber- ally, snd others who were worth no end of money would hold out a ten cent plece and let go of it with great reluctance and with a slgh and a shud- der that were quite siddening. But the meanest man I ever knew was a well dressed chap whom I detected more than once putting in a dime and taking out & quarter.

These lagoons were found to vary in diameter from 30 miles or more to only a fow fect, but corals do mnot buoild thelr reefs at a graater depth than 100 feet, and yet by eounding theso singular reefs in the Pa- cific ocean it was found that the coral reached ss far ag_the fathom line went. The conclusion of scientific men was that the bed of the ocean was gradually sink- ing, and that the corals began to build fringing reefs on the islands, and ss the land sank the corals kept steadily at work building up as fast a3 the land went down. As the fs'and dissppeared the fringing recfs becamo atolls, or circles of coral inclosing & calm lagnon. 1t is found that the recfs below 100 feet are dead, and it is inferred that atalower depth than that the corals wera killed by cold. This is the gener- ally accopted theory in regard to the sub- sldenco of the Paciflc. ‘“‘But there is other evidence which fa more Interesting, because it relates to the decay of a great raco of people that once inhabfted this region. A few years ago I stopped at Pouynipote island, in the Pacific, in east longitude 158 deg. 22 min. and ncrth latitude 6 deg. 50 min. The island is surrounded by a reef, with a broad ship channel between it and the taland, PREHISTORIC TEMPLES, ‘At places in the reef therc wers nataral breaks that served as entrances to the herbors. In these ship channels there were a number of islands, many of which wers mur. rounded by a wall of stone five or six fect high, and on these islands there stood a great many low houses, built of the same kind of stone as the walls about them, These struturis seem to have been used as temples and forte, The singular feature of theee tslands is that the walls are a foot or more below the water, When they were built they weroe cvidently above the water and connected with the main-land, but they have gradually eunk unfil the #ca has risen a foot or mors around them, The natives on the ieland do not know when these works wers built; it ls so far back in the past that they have even no tradition of tho strucfures. Yet the works show signs of great skill, and certalnly prove that whoever built them knew thorcughly how to transport and lift havy blocks of stone, Up In the mountalns of the fsland there isa quarry of the same kind of stone that was used in buildiog the wall about the islands, and in hat quarry to.day thers are graat blocks of stone that heve been hewn out ready for transportation, The natives have no tragitlon touchiog the the quarry: who hewed the stone, when it was done, or why the work ccased, The natlves are in greater Ignorance of the great phenomena that are going on about them than the white man whs touches on their island for a few hours for water. Thers 15 uo doubt in my mind that the island was once Inhabited by an {ntellfgent race of people, who bulli the temples and forts of heavy mesonry on the high bluffs of the shors of the island, and that as the land gradually subsided these bluffs became fslande, They stand to-day with a 8)lid wall of stone around them, partly submerged in water.” e The Whiskey Basiness, Please do not confound amy of the whiskey bltters which topers take and drankards delight in, with that altogether different article ‘‘Brown’s Iron Bitters.” No toper wants Brown's Iron Bitters, for there {s nothing In It to satisfy the ceav- Ipgs of bis debased appetite. ~This great iron medlclne glves strength and new fe, not a merc unwholesome stimulus, Sheriff Pouder of Washington County, Tenn., wrltes that after using two bottles of It he was cured of dyepepsla.
