A LOST ISLAND.
Ct Mysteriously Disappears Be
neath the Sea.
Vessels Now Sailing Over the Spot Where
ft Body of Land Thirteen Miles
Long Formerly Ex
isted. The disappearance beneath the sea of
an island, long marked on the maps
and well known to mariners, is a very
rare occurrence. Such an event is re
ported from tho northwest coast of
Australia in a region whore no white
enterprises are carried on and which is
rarely visited by ships. A German
sailing master reports the discovery of
the mysterious disappearance of Expe
dition island. The flint news was
printed in the Deutsche Rundschau,
and it has been reproduced in the
geographical journals of Europe. No
one know when the is'and vanished
from view, and the only explanation of
the phenomenon apparent to the New
York Sun is that for some cause or
other there has bun a sudden depres
sion nf the earth's c.'u. t in those
waters. The subsidence of the i sland
was not accomplished v. i'.'i such rapid
ity and violence ns to attract attention,
through the disturbance of the sea on
any civilized coarts. If a sudden cata
clysm had oc.'iivrel, li':o that which
blew the greater part of KraUatoa into
the air and scattered the fragments
over the sea bed, great waves would
have carried to far distant shores the
news that soim J.lr.g- unusual had oc
curred, for lJ::pi-iUt!..n island had some
importance in that region of tiny ocean
specks, being much larger than any ol
its neighbors. It was thirteen miles
long and on an average one mile wide.
The German vessel sailed back and
forth over the sea that has risen above
the island, finding an average depth of
forty-eight feet. In all the Boundings
the plummet undoubtedly struck what
had once been the surface of the flat,
low-lying island. The surrounding sea
Is some hundreds of feet deep, and the
landward end of the island was forty
miles from Australia, a little north oi
the indenture known as Collier bay.
It is known that the southern coast ol
Australia is gradually rising, while the
northwestern, northern and eastern
coasts, with a wide expanse of the ad
jacent sea floors, comprise a great area
of subsidence. In other words, the
earth's crust in these regions is very
gradually sinking. Expedition island
was in the extreme southwestern part
of this area of subsidence.
We are accustomed now and then to
the spectacle of a new island suddenly
appearing above tho surface of the sea,
and we are not- Bnvprised when these
Islands, reared upon unstable founda
tions by submarine volcanoes, show s
tendency, like New Bognslov and Fat
con island, rapidly to disintegrate and
disappear again beneath the waves; but
it is very rare indeed that an island of
considerable dimensions and supposed
stability leaves these upper regions,
and it is rarer still that it drops peace
fully out of view without letting the
world know, in Rome way or other, that
it is taking Its departure.
BACKED WITH BANK MOTES.
A Picture Which Had a l.lnlni; That In
eluded 'i wo $00 Hills.
Charles W. Duntz lives on the Land
ing road, Kinder-hook, K. V., near the
Halfway house. One morning recently,
while his wife was engaged in cleaning
a portrait that had been in their posses
sion more than a quarter of a century,
she accidentally broke through the
cover on the back and saw underneath
it a piece of payxr. She pulled it out
and found that it was 1111 old two-dollai
bill. She called her suii'c attention to
.t and the lad took the cover off. Un
derneath it they f, und two live-hundred-dollar
bills issued by a hank in Massa
chusetts, one in tf ".!!, tho i tlier in 1801.
During the day M r. imnt '. took the bills
to the Union bank niul !e:!-d that the
bank of issuance wus t.i-.;i i:-. existence,
and that the bills v.vre pr bably genu
ine and worth their fuee value. Mr.
Reynolds, teller r.f th-.i b.Kik. .-omrmuuV
oated with th-J M.irisn -U ; ; ".s . b uilt peo
ple and learned that Km; 1 c-linndred-dollar
bills of the old mi!.i issue still
out and was ready i v d.-.-ia them if
they were genuine. About tv.- nty-cight
years ago, snys K.He-h .Votes, i his pic

relative, who iv-nicKte(! that, it should
be caref:.lly kept in the far.iiiv. the por

Ag for a comparison between the gov
ernments and sovereigns of Spain and
England in Columbus' time the world
may well honor Qtieen Isabella, that
great and unselfish woman whose
womanly faith saved history. She was
not an angel and the student of his
tory is generally free to admit that she
would be an exception if she were. Hut
she was large minded and great hearted
and womanly and need fear no com
parison in any light with good Queen
uess. Her Intellectuality and her hu
inanity were an enduring monument.

POOR MAN'S GOUT.
There la Such a Dlseuse, and It. Causa If
Anxiety.
Acquired gout, is usually one of th
consequences of errors and excesses of
diet. Those who eat too much and
drink too much wine are, as is well
known, very frequently the subjects of
the disease. But it is by no means so
well known that beer is a prolific cause
of gout. The fact is so, however, if the
London Hospital is to be believed. Dr.
Frederick Roberta, in "Quain's Diction
ary of Medicine," tells us that brewers'
draymen are particularly subject to
gout. Malt liquors, Dr. Roberts con
siders, stand next to wine as originators
f gout. Good whisky and brandy, on
the other hand, aro said to be much less
mischievous in this connection. Brew
ers' draymen, though poor in pocket, do
not generally suiter from the poor
man's gout.
On the contrary, their gross and pon
derous bodies are gorged with the
products of their own excesses. Some
of them, it is said, drink as much as
two to four gallons of beer a day. Sit
Alfred Garrod, a competent authority,
states that lead taken into the system
is a potent cause of fjout. No less than
thirty per cent, of Dr. Garrod's hospital
patients owed their gouty seizures to
working among lead. Many of these
were probably physiologically poor,
poor in blood and tissue; and they
would, no doubt, sutler from what is
popularly called poor man's gout.
Butchers and barmen, coal heavers and
painters, and others who have to dc
with lead are all liable to the disease.
It will bo proper hcrei to remind read
ers that mental worry 1b a fruitful
source of gout, and as the mentally
worried often have poor appetites and
feeble digestive powers, they are not
seldom physiologically poor in a very
marked degree, and they are, therefore,
particularly liable to Buffer from pool
man's gout. Scientifically this question
of terms and definitions has little or nc
interest, because, as we have already
said, gout is gout, and can never bf
anything else. But from a practica1
point of view the subject is well worthy
of the consideration of all intelligent
persons.

The yacht Iinyrv e,(. under the com

sailed from M.i:-;:i -. b.mni for Cocoa

Panama. Tho obje t of Capt. Gisler's

length of his stay at the island will de
pend upon the work undertaken. The
island will first be surveyed under the
direction of Capt. Gisler, who owns con
siderable property on the place. The
buried treasure will be hunted for on a
secret plan in the captain's possession.
Capt. Gisler spent four years on the
island, and during that time made a
vigorous search for the gold. He is con
fident of success, and is determined to
keep up his search. This will be his
fourth trip to the island. He left there
in May, 1890. On that visit he and three
companies subsisted for five months on
wild hogs, fish and sea birds while
awaiting the vessel sent to Valparaiso
for supplies.
The captain made a contract with the
Costa Itica government to populate the
barren island within five years, and he
proposes to do this work in connection
with the search for the hidden wealth.
A month ago he went to Stockton to
meet A. O. Viertohg, who claims to
have a "gold indicator," by which the
presence of the -Amrjod gold enn be dis
covered. Capt. Gisler looked upon the
"indicator" favorably, and me-'e an
agreement under which Viertong will
accompany him to Cocos island.
Capt. Gisler will have with him
Joseph Reine, a blacksmith; John
Hamlin, an Englishman, and an old
sailor, who will be the mate of the
Hayseed; August Weiste, the cook, and
Andrew Johnson, an able seaman. These
men, with the exception of Reine, have
accompanied Capt. Gisler to Cocos
island on several previous trips, and
they know what to expect on such an
expedition. They believe they will be
successful, and are willing to make the
trip without a dollar of wages and
take chances on unearthing the gold.
The cook, Weiste, is so certain of Sue
cess that he came a roundabout way
from Germany to join the treasure
seekers. He learned that Gisler was
organizing a company, and to reach
California he sailed to Australia, and
from there worked his passage to Cali
fornia. When he arrived in this port
he was told by the German consul that
Gisler was in Stockton, and he found
the captain there at work on the Hay
seed. Two men who could not be ac
commodated on the yacht will go by
the Pacific mail steamer to Costa Rica,
where the Hayseed will stop and pick
them up.
Gisler will carry about fifteen tons of
supplies. He purchased in Stockton
about two thousand pounds of flour,
dried fruit and canned meats and other
articles. A lot of supplies will be
shipped by steamer to Costa Rica to be
sent for as required. The cost of fitting
out the Hayseed and supplying Capt.
Gisler with a small fund to deposit in
Costa Rica was two thousand dollars.
The expense was divided among more
than twenty men, and consequently
the speculation will not distress any
member of the company. When Capt.
Gisler left Stockton he was in a happy
mood and seemed almost certain of
finding the treasure. He gives his
time the same as the rest of his party,
and cannot make a dollar unless suc
cessful. The story of the buried treasure has
been told many times and in many
tongues. The treasure was buried by
pirates who operated in the brig Relam
pago in 1822. Cocos island was selected
as the treasure repository after the pi
rate ship had been driven in the Pacific.
The island is about four miles across
and contains sixteen thousand acres of
rocky and rolling land, well watered.
The pirates, after capturing a number
of Spanish galleons, buried church
plate, jewels and coin in two places. On
the northeast end of the island t he pirate
crew buried one hundred and seventy
five tons of silver dollars. At another
spot gold-hilted and jeweled swords
were deposited. In a third excavation
they deposited fifteen millinn dollars
worth of gold bricks. Thecuptuin him
self burled a large numlier of emeralds,
diamonds, rubles and pearls. The
whole treasure, placed in various vaults
in the sandstone and hidden in the Mind,
is estimated, according to the story of
two of the brig's piratical crew, as
amounting in value to more than sixty
million dollars. The pirates were
killed off before they could return to
Cocos island, and the story of their
buried richtvi came from two English
men who were the only men left to tell
of the hiding place nf many millions of
stolen gold. Their stories came out as
deathbed confessions.

' Does It not strike you as strange, con
sidering the fact that more than half
the coffee consumed in the world is
grown in Brazil, that one seldom sees
Brazilian coffee advertised? Should
you ask your grocer for the "best Bra
zilian" he would not know what to give
you. The reason, according to the Bos
ton Bullet in, is because the best coffee
grown in Brazil is sold under the name
of "Java" and "Mocha," and a large
share of the inferior grades are marked
"Bourbon" and "Martinique." Yet
nowadays the latter island produces
hardly more than five hundred sacks of
coffee in a year a mere drop in th
world's big bucket; and Bourbon yields
perhaps six thousand tacks per annum
just about enough to supply the mar
kets of Rio for twenty-f our hours. At
least nine-tenths of all the "Mocha"
coffee that you drink with such gusto
because it costs an extra price is the
small round bean of the Brazilian plant,
picked from the tips of the upper
branches where the tropic sun has had
most chance to infuse richness into it
and afterward "separated" by hand.
The fazendeiros (coffee planters) of Bra
zil, unlike those of Java, do not sell
their crops under any special trade
mark. Between the fazendeiro and the
exporter a class of "middle men," un
known elsewhere, intervene half bank
ers, half brokers locally designated as
commisarios, who lower the standard
of the crop by mixing different harvests,
thus relieving individual producers of
all responsibility and depriving the
product of its true value. j
It is often remarked that the I. nn
drunkenness in Brazil, but the state
ment is untrue; not perhaps so far aa
alcoholic drinks are concerned, but the
whole country is perpetually in a state
of semi-intoxication on coffee men,
women and children alike and to
babies in arms it is fed from a spoon.
At all hours of the day and night, in
season andout, everybody literally guz
iles it. The effect is plainly apparent
in trembling hands, twitching eyelids,
mummy-hucd skins and a chronic state
of nervous excitability worse than that
produced by whisky. ,
Are you overheated in the noonday
sun or chilled by the dews of evening?
Are you wearied or "blue" or Buffering
from bodily pain or homesickness? Cof
fee is the Brazilian's unfailing panacea,
aa the Chinese turns to his opium and
the toper to his toddy. It is brought to
your bedside the instant you are awake
in the morning and just before you drop
off to sleep at night, at meals and be
tween meals, and whenever a caller
comes in always black, bitter and hot.
Connected with each of the theaters is
a garden or cafe, to which the people
repair after every act to partake of
ices, confectionery, wines, and coffea,
of course.
A BRIGHT GIRL.'

Rashers,
There were two of them and they en

Fourteenth street, New York. One was
was a dark vounir man with a droopinir
slstiblo eyes, which ho knew how to use
to advantage. Tho other was rather
lank, pale, dressed In tan, with low
shoes and blue and black checked hose.
Both were dressed in the top-notch
style, say .J tlu !!"r:vl:l. They took a
cross seat rt ji-sit . a comely young
woman an-.l lint.i.-.H-ilely their united
gaze was riv etetl upon the fair vis-a-vis.
They did not lei 1 at her now and then,
casting innumerable surreptitious
glances. They i peii'y and uninterrupt
edly stared.
The! you ng lady kept her eyes on her
book, and the .v.mng men showered a
volley of complimentary remarks upon
ler but her expression was blankness
tself.
At each station one asked: "Shall we
ret out her .''' " h, no, let's go to the
lext," iin-.ivi 1 the other, and these
liH-stiou". w :i iited every time the

"We get out here," remarked the sal
low youth, nonchalantly. -'J
The young woman rose, stepped back
to allow the young men to pass with
an apresvous expression on her face,
and, seeing that she was about to fol
low, the two irrcsisti tiles passed on out.
The young lady took half a dozen steps
forward, then resinned her seat and the
gate was closed with a bang.
The young men, realizing that they
had been outwitted, simply stood on
the platform und stared, und as the
train passed by the young lady threw
them a tuntaliziug smile.
