Ancient City Discovered
Mapimi, Mexico, May 25. A party of
American archaeologists, who left here
a week ago on an exploring trip to the
recently discovered silent and deserted
city in the Sierra Mad re mountains
have just returned. They bring a sen
eational story of the discovery of an
other hidden city in the same locality
about five leagues north of the first find
The leader of. this nartv is f!. TV Pn.
tione, of Philadelpha, who has been in
r m
Mexico ior severe! years, employed in
the exploration of the Aztec ruins of
Uaxaca and Chepas. He stated that
: the second of these cities is verv aim!
lar to the first in appearance, and that
tney were evidently at one time twin
capitals of a great and wealthv
that existed long before the time of the
Aztecs. The two cities are connected
by a series of " underground passages,
hewn out of solid rock in the precipitous
mountains. It was while exploring one
of these passages that the second city
was discovered. It also lies in the bot
tom of a deep basin of mountains, and
no exit except by way of underground
passages could be found. This was all
of the information that could be ob
tained from the party. Mr. Pan tione
will organize a larger party in the City
of Mexico, and continue the work of ex
ploration. Disposed of by Judge Hanford.
Seattle, May 26. Eighty-four of the
"Wealers" were put on the defense to-day
before Judge Hanford, charged with
capturing a train at Yakima, May 10.

with the men captured at Yakima, al
though no individual identification was
had of any one of the prisoners. The
defense refused to present any testimony
in view of the judge's position, and the
result was that four men were dis
charged ; 13 sent to the Pierce county
jail for ten days ; one to the King county
jail for a like period, and 19 to the King
county jail, and 47 to the United States
penitentiary at McNeill's island for sixty
days. This disposes of all the cases.

NATURE'S WONDERS.
Thfi Stranire Intelligence of . Brainless
Creatures.
' It is not often that we find animals
giying mutual aid, except in the line of
their domestic duties. To meet with
instances of helpfulness in creatures so
low in the scale as are the "sea-urchins"
on our coast is really remarkable.
Prof.-Elder, of Colby university, com
municates to London Nature what he
observed among the echini of Casco
bay. " v
Among the specimens brought back
from one excursion . were four of the
common echini. The last one taken
had been left exposed to the sun some
time before it was noticed and properly !
cared for.
" These four animals were placed alone
in a small aquarium, and, as we wished
to study their action, each was turned
mouth up. Soon the action began, with
which every naturalist is familiar, and
three of the captives slowly rose on
edge, and then deliberately lowered
themselves into the normal position.
The fourth, the injured one, made
much less rapid progress; all it could
achieve was a slight tipping on its disk.
The two - nearest echini, from six to
eight inches distant, now moved up
and stationed themselves on opposite
sides of their disabled comrade.
Fastening their tentacles for a pull
they steadily raised the helpless urchin
in the direction, in which it hat! started.
As soon as it was possible, one of the
helpers moved underneath the edge of
the disk on the aboral back side, and
when the half-turn .was accomplished,
the other took station on the oral side,
gradually moving back as the object of
so much solicitude was gently lowered
to the position nature had made most
convenient.
Look at This.

HOW TO CATCH COONS.
.
Col. Tingling Hnnt for Them with Ro
man Candles.
If there are two men in Adams coun
ty who are expert coon hunters they
axe w)i. i ingung ana liiu ' uenehoff,
says a Gettysburg (Pa.) correspondent
of the New York Times. For years
i this pair have traveled over the hills
and mountains adjacent to this town.
They are always trying a new method
to capture the coon. Their latest
scheme was to use Soman candles.
The other night they started out.
The dogs soon raised a coon, chasing it
through a deep and rough ravine and
np a rocky spur on the west of the
town. The colonel and "JJill" had a
tiresome walk before they came up to
the dogs, which were barking under a
large tree. A torch was lighted and
Benchoff fired at what he supposed was
a coon, but nothing came down. Then
the colonel : tried his . new plan..
Benchoff had no faith in "the irlen nni
as he was ridiculing the genial ex-army
officer a great ball of fire from a Roman
candle, illuminated space) Ball after
ball was shot up in the tree. The third
hit a coon square in the flank. The an-;
imal's fur. caught fire and the coon fell
down through the branches of the tree.
A second later' the flames were smoth
ered and the coon was killed by the
dogs. -
Ihiring the fire of the candle Benchoff
caught sight of another coon and put a
bullet through his bead and the animal
fell dead at his feet. Another candle
was lighted and the third coon was
sighted. Yingling had by this time be
come quite expert, and with a steady
aim he hit the limb to which the ani
mal clung. It lost its hold and fell
among the waiting dogs, by which it
was quickly killed. The same night
six more coons were bagged by the
same orocess.
