Rock=a=Bye Baby
These are sweet words, bvt how much
pain and suff*r.ng they used to mean, it’s
Jhfierent now. Since Mother’s Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
br;h. Mother's friend is a lin.ment to be
.p-lied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly
nt o the muscles of the abdomen. It gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
ereat strain comes tney re. pond quickly and
easily without pain. Mother's Friend is
pgver taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. If a
woman is supplied with this splendid lini
ment sh* need never fear rising or swelling
breasts, morning sickness, or any of the
discomforts which usually accompany preg
nancy.
The proprietor of a large hotel in Tampa,
Fla., writes: “My wife had an vfttl time
with her first child. During *er second
pregnancy. Mother’s Friend was used and
the baby was born easily before the doctor
arrived. It’s certainly great.”

Tfie lost Atlantis.
BY J. W. MUNICH.
NUMB Kit (INK,
Prom time to time we read of
efforts being made to ri.ise the veil
of mystery which shadows the his
tory of that lost and as many
believe, nit thical people, but so far
no oue seems to have been able to
locate ‘’Atlantis,” or give any
reason for its utter disappearance
from the earth. Surely some trace
of the Atlanti can be found if any
such people ever existed, and we
have a better reason for believing
that they did exist in the remote
past than that they did not and it
is my belief and opinion, be it
worth much or little, that ample
trace of them can be found much
nearer our own doors than if we
seek them beneath the surface of
the Atlantic.
“A submerged continent of At
lantis.” We may rightfully con
sider the ‘‘submerged continent”
as being far more mythical than
the existence of Atlantis itself, and
our first reason for a disbelief in
the theory of submergence, is this
very simple one. It could not
have been caused by the deluge of
Noah’s days, since no record of its
existence was ever given by the
only survivors. Therefore, Atlan
tis did not exist as a known hab
itation of man to the antedeluvi
ans.
Secondly, no such catastropne
could have occurree without the
ancients oi the old world having
knowledge of it. Had they pos
sessed knowledge of such an event
as the submerging of a continent,
even though it was no larger than
Australia, and having a population
of perhaps many millions, they
certainlj’ would have left some rec
ord of such an upheaval o f the
earth’s crust as to cause the utter
disappearance of a continent. Such
an event would not occur without
the wdrole woild being more 01 less
affected by the convulsion. Aud
if Atlantis was situated anywhere
in the Atlantic, assupposed it was,
the coasts of Africa aud Europe, to
say nothing of Western Asia,would
undoubtedly have felt the shock
aud upheaval to such an extent
which taken together with the
sudden disappearance of a people
to them well knowm, and with
whom they had for centuries held
commuuication, and probably com
mercial relations as to leave on the
minds of contemporaneous peoples
such an impression that it would
have been made a matter of record.
If not by written records; tradition,
would have handed down the
story from father to son through
out the following centuries until
some one of the ancient scribes or
poets, w’ould have recoided it on
papyrus, parchment, or stone. No
such record or tradition exists.
Geology has never demonstrated
that any such upheaval, or depres
sion in the earth’s crust occurred
—consequently we are forced to
the conclusion that Atlantis disap
peared in altogether a different
manner —probably the same man
ner by which so many of the
many known nations of the earth
have disappeared, and left not a
trace of their existence.
Let us eliminate the “submerged
Atlantis” from the realms of dis
cussion for once and all, nor fur
ther endeavor to unfatiiotn the
mysteries of the deep. The ocean
has her own secrets and she guards
them well—too well for any human
being to bring them to light, and
not of her own will will she revcai
them; and she only smiles,at man’s
puny efforts to drag up to the light
of day that which she has for
thousands of years kept hidden in
the dark caverns of her depths.
Why should we seek the secret in
the ocean when it stands open as
the day to our inspectu n on the
good dry land of our own conti
nent?
Let us take a stroll among the
rivers scat ered over this conti
nent and study out the writings on
their walls, their pictures of events
in the history of the builders of
those vast edifices whose mas
siveness and grandeur of conception
and excecution are the wonder
and admiration of the modern ex
plorer and achaeologist—-the
sculpturings and hieroglyphics
their statiirv, sun diaU and astron
omical paraphernalia and the
hundred other evidences of a high
state of civilization. And 01 ce we
have deciphered these and Earned
who these people were, we w ill
have learned much to • co ivinc-* us
that these people were “The
Lost Atlantis.”
Of course this is a theory only,
and opens to a wide field o r discus
sion and speculation. G a’nted it
is a theory only, but it is more
nearly allied to facts than the the
ory of a submerged continent. Let
us turn back to the pages of
ancient history as given by Solon,
Facts ’lid Theory
Pcgarding the
Dislribu’iou of
Mankind.
"Tlu Law Giver of Athens.” Be
tween 575 and 590 B. C. about (or
perhaps later, as there is no exact
record) we are told Solon went to
Egyp', where he spent ten years of
his life, resting from his labors;
and no doubt also to a great extent
studying ancient history. We are
told that it v as during his residence
in that country that he first heard
of Atlantis. He obtained permis
sion to examine the Egyptian
sacred Register,and from them the
data on which to build a history of
the to him new century and peo
ple. But before he could write his
history of Atlantis he died. Two
hundred years later his main -
scripts, we are told, came into the
hands of Plato, who was a descend
ant of Solon. Plato then undertook
to finish the work of his ancestor,
but before he could write it out he
also died —a most unfortunate oc
currence for us. Could Plato have
finished the work begun so long
before bv Solon we would be that
much richer in having a history of
a people whose beginning, being,
and final disappearance are
shrouded in the nnsts of antiquity!
When Solon first learned of their
existence the disappearance of the
Atlanti was already ancient history
to the Egyptians. How ancient?
Qnly those sacred registers could
tell, could they be brought to
light. Now then, we are brought
to face auother question or rather
several in succession suggest them
selves to the mind. Who were the
Atlanti? Whe;e did they original
ly come frotu? From .what people
did they originate? how long ago?
what country or continent did they
inhabit? how long a oeiiod of
time elapsed between the birth of
the colony, its rise, the length of
time it flourished, its decline and
fall, and its final disappearance?
These are difficult questions to
answer, and with the little evidence
to be had are nigh impossible. We
are told further that Solon derived
not only his first knowledge of the
existence of an Atlantis from the
Egyptian priests, but also that one
of the priests told him, with an air
of superiority no doubt, mingled
with commiseration for his ignor
ance of ancient history, “You have
no antiquity of history, and no his
tory of antiquity.” Greece, was to
some extent an Egyptian colony,
one of Egypts’ children, and tliere
fore they of Greece, may have had
some excuse for their ignorance of
peoples well known to their ances
tors in the remote past —at people
who had died long before Greece
was known. Some think that the
“Lost Atlantis,” existed within
easy sail of the old world, as we
call it, and that it -finally dropped
out of sight and knowledge, leav
ing no trace of its existence, either
by gradual subsidence, or through
some subterranean convulsion.
The theory of subsidence has no
foundation in fact, nor is it based
on any known fact.
Before going further, and spec
ulating on the origin of Atlantis
aud its people, their rise, decline,
mil anu final utter disappearence,
it-t us coiisi r first what, were and
who were the. u .ilders of those
cities whose ruins -la . today as
the Spaniards found the. four
hundred years ago, the later ui
coveries ot our times by Le Plon
geon, and still later, yesterday, as
it were, by Prof. Saville, of New
York. I.- Piongei n tells us of the
wendetsof Yucatan, Uxmal, and,
Palenque. At the distance of 500
miles from the former, and 4- o
miles from the latter, as the cun
flies Saville has within the lac
four years unearthed a city, tin
dimensions of which are as yet a
matter of speculation. But of its
vastness and antiquity, there can
be no doubt. But as to the origin
of the people who did the
building, which denotes a
civilization far beyond any
thing, anywhere, or at any time
in the world’s history, having
evolved from a state of sayagery
we have yet to learn. Their anti
quity is also another point to de
cide, and will 110 doubt be found
the more difficult of the two —per
haps the uiuai difficult of all. Le
Plongeon tells us tnat “the Zepo
tecas lived from 1000 103000
ago.” and that. “Back 01 the Zep
otecas were the Mayas who livec
ten thousand years ago at least
That, “the Mayas were the high
est civilized of the ancient races o
this continent;” and he further
more says: “I have also shown then
to have been the first civilized rao
in the whole world. Theirs wa>
the civilization I believe, tha.
spread across the ocean to Egypt
Chaldea and India.” The belie
of the learned Le Plongeon wil
tally with an article which appear
td in the press some years age,,

and the eminent German Promisor

intention to criticize either of the
two theories thus advanced. Until
now’ we have only theories to work
upon, and until one or two, or any
number of theories 011 the subject
are disproved by the revelation of
opposite facts, anyone theory is as
safe as any otiier.
Having a pet theory of my <. wn
to advance, I shall endeavor to
jostle the crowd the crowd as little
as possible. We are not looking
for trouble, we are simply seeking
for facts, but in order to arrive at
those tarts, by which alone we may
clear up the mystery of the Atlan
tis and determine its relation, if
any, to the lost peoples of our own
continent, we are forced to grope
through the dark and misty laby
rvnthian recesses of time with no
otter light to guide us but the very
uncertain one of imperfect tradi
tion. And even the tradition fails us
at the c ritical moment of discovery,
leaving a wide gap of missing evi
dence. and we are left as much in
the dark as we were at the begin
ning. Up to the present date we
can only theorize.
