"From tho' time I flr.l began to
notice things,! k&w I wan not like
other buttons, I wus branded deep
with a phoenix and the letters 'Je

0 courne her atory was not told
I toll it now, for the little button
could not Heuk Chiiume; nor could
the coin underhand French, but a
large blue French Canadian bead
made both underntand iln broken
Kngliidi.
"I was very proud and thought I
boro the coat of arms of some noble
family. I never knew, and I wonder
yet, That did not make me ho
proud an tho thought tlmt I was

letters say,

if I tell hoy I was brought over
seas a long, long journey, and then
over hind months and months so
slowly, Tliis train that goes rum
bling over us would make me dizzy
to look al I know. Finally we
came to the Columbia river, and
later I heard them say, 'there is
Vancouver.' I could not see it
then, something was in my way,
' iunl I was never to see it or tbe
fort, for the next day I was traded
for some furs, to an Indian who
took me and pulled off my eye,
and, as if tiat were not injury
cnoMgh, belmnchcd a holo through
me and I was made to adorn the
richest fabric, was put on a string
with tome pieces of brans and cop

my chief and I. I did regret the
loss of my manners, hut what
could be exjs'ctcd of one who lived
as I?
"How well I remember the year
1850!" Tho button paused with a
sigh and the coin and the liend,
pcrhaiw because they, loo remem
bered, said nothing, "Since I had
known them, the Indians had
never been so excited, 1 here came
a night in March when, arrayed in
their war paint and feathers, they
danced till the gray twiliglit came.
Above the sound of the drum and
the hideous noises, I heard an owl
hoot. On the morrow it wag the
twenty-sixth day wjth yells that
boiled ill for the pule face, they fell
upon tho little defenseless settle
ment. "From that massacre some must
hove run with ill tidings, for the
next ilnv the little steamer 'Hello';
brought Phil Sheridan and his
company from Vancouver, and
two companies came to the relief
from The Dalles. Hut all the
houses,-save the one held by the
white people, were burned; and
their dead numbered seventeen.
"Alas! for me, my chief was
killed. 1 was laid with him on a
bier supported by the. swaying
boughs of the pines, amid the wail
ings of tho Indian's funeral dirge.
I heard the dirge of the forest and
the river. They were more to my
ear than savage chanting.
"You both came later and know
how we were startled one night by
n fire set to the trees we were in,
and we fell to the ground. How I
longed to get away, but no one
ever noticed nie."
"The things that have happened
since then I know better than you,"
said the bead. "They laid ft tram
. way track nearly to us in 1857,
and we saw the busy transfer of
tho boats. The next year wo saw
another across the river, and the
next, in place of the patient mules,
engines hissing and blowing steam
from their upright boilers, as they
drew the cars from tho boats above
to the -boat below the rapids, drew
the first trains in this great North
western country. Two years later
we were imprisoned here andthe
train rumbled over us.
"Yes" interrupted the button,
1 here am I compelled to live with
that worthless little piece of Chi
nese money I, the phoenix, the
emblem of immortality, Did they
uiean to mock nie when they
stamped me so? Will I live again?
How will I get''
"Just then the coin cried out,
"Listen," said the button. "Heel
light!" said the bead. Then the
three, from intense excitement and
susiensc, were silent,
They knew not that the bed of
tho railway had been moved, and
that tho hand that reached in and
took them belonged to a little girl
who was digging for relic. They
were to startled and so glad. When
they could compose themselves
some one was saying "How strange
that a French button, a Chinese
coin and an English Und should
I here together with these brasg
and copter Indian trinkets." Hut
of their lives, of the traders, or the
Indians, the three said never a
word. They did not want the girl
to hear them.
When at last they were safe
alone, the bead on a strand with
others like her, the button and
iin again side by side this time
in a cabinet the bead culled out
"Didn't you come up from the
ashes that time, phoenix button?"
The button did not reply at once.

Where Oil la Found In California.
During the present season 0. II.
Kldridge, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, hat been engaged
ia a careful examination of the
petroleum fields of California with
a view to discovering tho source of
oil. Theso fields lie in the Coast
Range and alongside the great
Central Valley of the State, but
thus fur their chief development
has been south of tho parallel of
San Francisco In order to locate
their source it hat been necessary
to study the general geologic fea
tures of the Coast Range and Cen
tral Valley, and especially the oil
bearing formations themselves and
the structural conditions in the
areas in which they are found.
Although the work is yet incom
lete, several important results
have been established, one of which
is the presence of petroleum of
from 11 to 12 degrees Ha'ume in a
series of strata at least 25,000 feet
thick. A second result of the in
vestigation is the separation of this
series, on litholngic or paleontologic
grounds, into nearly a dozen dis
tinctly rccognizuhlo formations,
chiefly of Tertiary age. It is im
portant to note that petroleum was
found under many structural con
ditions, yet nearly all seemingly in
harmony with the anticlinal theory.
The technical and economic uses
of tho California petroleum, par
ticularly in its application as fuel,
will al;o be considered in the course
of the work as planned.

Modem ltobinaon Crusoe.
The lot of a present-day Robin
son Crusoe would be an enviable
one, in so far as material neodd are
concerned, provided bis wreck was
that of an average ' passenger
steamer. Possessing less ability
than even an ordinary artisan, he
could erect a modern house and
install lighting and heating appa
ratus, electric light and bells. The
ship would provide furniture, house
hold fittings, books and pictures.
He would be sure to have at hand
several bicycles.
Further search would reveal
plenty of clothing and linen from
the stores of the best known ailors
and haberdashers, together with
many bales of cloth, from which
he miglil replenish from time to
time his large and comprehensive
wardrobe.
For his daily sustenance he
might prepare, if he to willed,
menus that would be gastronomic
lyrics, supplemented by costly
wines and liquors. For the space
of a year and probably longer, he
might live as luxuriously, main
taining all the conventions, as any
man in any of the five great capi
tals of the world.
For his diversion, if he had any
love for sport, he would find fish
ing tackle and nets and gum suit
able for the execution of large and
small game,
In fctormy days the modern
Crusoe might interest himself in
doors with his books. At night he
could draw his curtains, and with
Lis room filled with the soft light
of candles set in silver candelarba,
reflect on the wonderful etrides of
ft civilization that enabled him to
gratify lilt slightest desire. Chi

Dismal Hwamp Is found to be Higher
than tho Surrounding Country.
The United States Geological
Survey has recently issued a spec
ial map formed by combining a
number of topographic sheets, pre
viously published, of the country
surrounding Norfolk, Va. The sec
tion covered by the new map,
konwn as the Norfolk quadrangle,
includes Fort Monroe, Newport
News, Hampton Roads, Norfolk,
and Portsmouth, and extends for
about 4 miles south of the North
Curolina line; it also covers a large
area of the Dismal Swamp. It has
been compiled with great accuracy
.and minuteness of detail, even the
houses in the country districts being
located on it, and is of more than
ordinary interest in indicating the
topographic features and the in
equalities of relief by a system of
contour lines.
A striking peculiarity of tho Dis
mal Swamp is clearly brought out
by the map, which shows that the
surface of the swamp stands- from
7 to 11 feet higher than the sur
rounding country, and the unusual
phenomenon of streams draining
out of it in all directions is observed.
The detail of the map is enriched
by the addition of ocean soundings
and descriptions of the marine
bottom.
