Coiled up in a window of a

of bad cigars and chewing tobacco
iies a curiosity that has played a
p'ominent part in American his

three feet long, with nothing at

have asked its history. A reporter

Survey.

Engineering and Minimr Journal.
The survevs at present being
made for the Kansas Citv, El Paso
and Mexican Railroad, at a point
north latitude i.' degrees and west
longitude 10( degress, have passed
along the lava flow which by the
local population is called the
Molpais. It consists of a sea of
molten black glass, agitated at the
moment of cooling in ragged waves
of fantastic shapes. These lava
waves or ridges are from ten to
twelve feet high, with combing
crests. This lava flow is about
forty miles long from northeast to
southwest, and from one to ten
miles wide. For miles on all sides
the country is the most desolate
that can he imagined. It has been
literally burned up. It consists of
fine white ashes to any depth
which, so far, has been dug down.
To the north of the lava flow, and
lying in a country equally desolate
and arid, the surveyors have come
upon the ruins of Gran Guivera,
known already to the early Span
ish explorers, but which have been
visited by white men less often
even than the mysterious ruins of
Palenque in Central America.
Only a few people of Socorro and
White Oaks have been at Gran
Guivera, because it is at present
forty miles from water. The sur
veyors found the ruins to be of
gigantic stone buildings made in
the most substantial manner and
of prand proportions. One of them
was four acres in extent. All in
dications around the ruins point to
the existence here at one time of
dense population. No legend of
any kind exists as to how this
great city was destroyed or when it
was abandoned. One of the
engineers attached to the survey
ing expedition advances the theory
that Gran Guivera was in existence
and abundantly supplied with,
water at the time the terrific vol
canic eruption took place.
The Romance of Two Stndents.
Willie' Stephens of Pittsburg is
not only an industrious student,
but an entirely ambitious one, and
wncu the other day he set his mind
on capturing the highest mark iu
B .rkersville Academy he meant to
ic successsful in the undertaking.
The great barrier of his ambition
was his fellow-student, Juliet Ben
net, who was a'.so in the race for
William. When tlie marks were
announced it was found that she
ii&d boateu him by on tenth of ono
percent. Now Wiiliaui was re --.Ived
that a little obstacle like
that should not stand in his way
so he got a marriage license, hired
a minister and uvuiied Juliet im
mediateiy atter the close of the
commencement exercises. The
girl hail the highest mark, but he
has the girl, Jnd by the simplest
law of loiric he is consequently the
possessor of both.
.New Type Setting Machine.
Boston Advertiser.
Au ingenious michine is being
built at Ames Manufacturing Com
pany's shops at Chicopee under the
supervision of the inventor, George
A. Goodson, which the inventor
claims will revolutionize the pre
sent composition of a . newspaper.
It is called an electrio matrix ma
chine, and intended to do away
with newspaper type-setting as
practiced at present. All that the
operator has to look atter is the
lettering, which is done as on a
type-writer, for the machine takes
re or the alignment, which is
perfect, and by a novel device for
regulating the spacing the perfect
justification of every line is se
cured. It is estimated that the
machine will take the place of four
compositors, besides saving the
time of distribution. The card
comes from the machine a perfect
matrix, and all ready for the metal
to be cast into it, producing the
complete stereotype for the press.
The machine is run by electricity.
Going Into Particulars.
Old Colony Memorial.
The Superintendent of Schools
in a Plymouth county town we
will call him Mr. A one day vis
ited a school taught by Miss B,amt
in the course of the morning said :
"Now children, I wish you to
take notice what I do, and then
write an account of it."
Then he stepped to the black
board and wrote a sentence upon
it.
All the children except one
wrote in effect that Mr. A. came
into the school and wrote on the
blackboard, "I love a good teach
er." One little fellow however fol
lowed instructions more literally,
and completed the story adding;
"And then he went to the platform
sat down, played with his watch
chain, twirled his watch chain and
winked at Miss Ii."
The Speed or Thought.
The latest scientific question is,
How long does it take to think?"
Depends on the question. Ask a
man if he'll have a milk shake and
lightning couldn't le quicker.
Ask him if he'd lend you a five,
and a district mpsenger hoy could
cross Jollege street before
you
could get an answer.
