Topa of Vaniahad Continent.
There is a theory that the Aztecs
and Incas of America, who find de
veloped a civilization on this continent
many centuries before Columbus came,
were descended from t lie Atlantians,
the people who inhabited a continent
which set out In the Atlantic ocean,
between Europe und Africa and the
American const.
History seems to reach back to Asia
and Africa about 5,000 years before
Christ and In Hie earliest historic times
there was a tradition of a land far
west of Africu having high moun
tains, valleys, plains and splendid
cities. That land might have exis;#l
10.000 or 110,000 years ago. It is
thought possible that the Azores, Ma
deira, Canary and Cape Verde islands
were some of the highlands and moun
tain tops of tlie old and vanished con
tinent, the name of which lias come
to us from the early Greeks us "At
lantis."
Oceanographers, sounding and sur
veying tlie bottom of the Atlantic
ocean, find deep valleys, mountain
ranges, towering peaks and wide
stretches of tulile land deep beneath
tlie surfuce of the sea. There was a
tradition in Asia and Africa at the
time recorded history'begins that tlie
Atluntluns were about to invade Afri-
' ca und Asia, when their land was
submerged. It might have been a vast
disaster due to volcanic uctlon. The
bottom of tlie sea in that part of tlie
world and tlie islands that rise out of
it ure volcanic and there are still active
volcanoes in the sea and in tlie Azores,
Canary and Cape Verde Islands, which
are supposed to be fragments of Atlan
tis.—Milwaukee Journal.

DIFFER AS TO GIANT RAY
Naturalists Divided in Opinion Con
cerning Structural Makeup
of Monster Fish.
Tlie great devilfish or giant ray,
which abounds in the wuters around
Beuufort, S. C„ and Captiva Inlet,
Fla., hus occasionally been found off
New York and New Jersey. The fur
thest north it has ever been taken
is Block Island, where one was
caught last year.
This was 14 feet wide between the
tips of the pectoral fins, 7 feet long
from head to base of tall, and
weighed 1,086 pounds. This Is the
only specimen known to have been
weighed, but there are stories of fish
that are said to have Weighed 10,000
pounds.
Dr. bJ. W. Gudger of the American
Museum of Natural History writes of
the giant ray in Science, and says that
naturalists who have described it
differ as to whether it has a large
■pine or sting on its tall. The one
caught at Block Island had none, but
there was a wound on the tall where
a spine was said to have been torn
off. The late Theodore Gill, dean of
American ichthyologists, doubted the
spine, as have other writers, although
tome naturalists picture it with one.

Moon Cake Day Chinese Feetival.
September 11 Is u great day for all
good Chinamen, for then occurs the
feast of the Moon Cakes. The festival
lasts all day and all night, and Is
celebrated by the eating of cakes made
In the shape of the moon and liberally
iprinklcd with all sorts of seeds. All
the Chinese grocers in the United
States sell packages of these cakes,
and the very poorest resident of China
town considers lilmself bound by the
fulth of his fathers to purchuse at
leust one puckuge.
The greater number of cakes pur
chased the greater Is considered the
purchaser’s respect for the night's
chief luminary, and some very black
fate Is believed to he reserved for
tin* Chinaman who fulls to eat a cake
before the festival Is over. This doom
Is expected to full upon hint before
next Mooli Cuke.
Kipling as a Stret Musician.
Kipling’s verse, even where It is not
slung, Is rurely poetry, hut It Is, for
the most purt, clean and neat in Its
rhythmical swing, well adapted for the
purposes of the music hulls, easy to
remember, even without tune, prulse-
worthy in its control of the means of
clarity, und, in short, a genuine article
of Its kind. . . Kipling is like u
practised tnuslduu In that strange
orchestra which we sometimes see In
the street, clinging around one per
former; he nods Ills heud, und the
bells tinkle uhout his pagoda-shuped
liat; he stumps hy» foot, und the drum-
cstlck hangs the drum and sets tlie
cymbals clapping on his buck, uud all
the while he is playing tlie concertina
with both ills hands und perhaps blow
ing into a panpipe with Ids mouth.

Review.
INEZ
I NEZ has a saintly origin since It
is derived from the Greek word
agnos, meaning “sacred," "pure,” and
comes Into usage through the Latin
word for lamb which la agnus. The
lamb was the symbol of the Roman
maiden wboae place of martyrdom
named the Church of galnt Ague
Pilgrimages are made there aad It It'
said that the gentle saint has appeared
to supplicants, in human guise with
a lamb of purest whiteness by her
side. Each year, two lambs are
brought to the pope and bleated in
the Church of Saint Agnese; then
they are shorn and the wool Is spun
and woven by the nuns into pails
presented by the pope to each prl-
mate.
Agnes cr Agnese, Is in popular
hsage as a proper name in England,
France and Germany. Portugal is
responsible for Inez. Soft as Agnese
is, It did not please the Portuguese,
who changed it first to Ines, Indi
cating the liquid sound of “gn" by tlie
cedilla. Later it became Inez and
limited the ill-fated Inez de Castro,
whose doom made It famous above all
Portuguese feminine names.
Ines anti Inez flourished for cen<
turies there, llPfore they were brought
to England, and without being angli
cized were used ns British names un
reservedly. The diminutive which
tlie Portuguese hnd evolved, Inesila,
was left In Its native land as being
too Latin for English adoption. Italy,
too, rejected it, preferring Agnese, but
also adding Its own Agnete and Ag-
nesca.
Thomas Hood wrote a cliurmilig
lyric to “Fair Ines” :
“Oh saw ye not fair Ines?,
She’s gone Into tlie West,
To dazzle when the sun is down,
And roll tlie world of rest;
She took our daylight with her,
The smiles that we love liest.
With morning blushes on her cheek,
And pearls upon her breast.”
Chrysolite Is Inez’ talismanic
stone; “tlie chrysolite of sunrise."
wrftte Shelley. If worn upon the left
arm and set in gold, it will drive away
all evil and protect Its wearer from
contagion. Thursday is Inez’ lucky
day and 7 her lucky number, ms
chrysanthemum, signifying cheerful
ness, Is her flower.
