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,, |MOTf!EM9OD 1 ■ .

But there is no 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. J. W. Minnich. Grand Isle, La., Nov. 20, 1901. [Concluded Next Week.] CASTOR IA FOl Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought sf^thTo.
