Ths City of 8ilsnca.
Amyclae. an auclent town of Laco
nia, situated ou tho eastern bnulc of
tho Enrotas. was u famous city In the
heroic age. It was tho nl>odo of Tyn-
darns and his spouse. I.edn; o f Castor
and Pollux, who nro hence called tho
"Ainyclaean Brothers.” It was only
shortly before the first Messenlan war
(743-724 It. Cd that the town was con
quered by the Spartan king Teleclua.
The Inhabitants had been bo often
ulnrmed by false reports of the ap
proach of the Spartans that, growing
tired of living In a state of continual
alarm, they decreed that no ono should
henceforth mention or even take notice
of these disagreeable Actions, and ac
cordingly when the Spartans at last
came no one dared to announce their
approach; hence arose the Greek saying,
“ Amyclae perished through slleuce."
A Dlssactsd Plateau.
Standing on n hilltop almost any
where In New England on a clear day
and looking around at tho horizon ono
notices that the high level surfaces of
ono hill after another approach tho
plane of the circular sky line. It re
quires but little Imagination to recog
nize In the successive hilltops tho re
mains of tho even and continuous sur
face of what was onco a great plain,
from which tho valleys o f today have
been carved by the erosive action of
flowing wafer. This Is most easily
recognized from a considerable eleva
tion, especially In the broad uplaud
high level areas of western Massachu-
settk at Whitcomb bills, on the Mo
hawk trail. This Is termed a dissect

It must lie remem
