trrlfle cr:►s11. Fortunately herr' people
vete about and no olio was in the
rleisiity at filo time-. There was Fracti-
elly no %yarning that anything unto-
ward was likely to o^cur, for after a
hew seconds of grinding noir, the
,rash told of an accident. As the tower

)Ipo was severed at tho top of the build -
ng ,nasi in It few minutes the water had

touch rnatchwood. Ilio crash was so
seCere that an the people in the neigh-
boring buildings ran out into the street.
Much of the water from the tank fell in

1111)DE,N FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
There aro other cities, too, whose ex-
iitence wus hidden from civilization
until recently.
Only the other day a St. Petersburg
paper announced that, deep In the fur -
rets of the Ural, had been discovered a
fkourishing city, the inhabitants (1
which :peak a language of their own,
and form a sort of ideal commonwealth.
Tiny had never paid taxes, and kncty
t eery little of what went on 111 the great
world about them.
This story may or may not be true,
but it is beyond nil doubt that a Brit-
ish offiler travelling in Arabia some
years ago "discovered" a town which.
except to the surrounding tribes, was
previously unknown. The place, which
is called Shern[zi, is situated on the
st.rnnlit of a great rock plateau, in the
heart of the Green Mountains, and :s
cut off from the surrounding country
by enormous. perpendicular cliffs. Its
poopt.:• are lighter in color than arose
of the Arabs in the plains below, and
absolutely refuse to mix (,r intermarry
with these. Their discoverers found
that they were descendants of the sur-
vivors of a Persian army which invaded
Oman nearly a thousand years ago.

c'enlely Hottentot girl who spoke n little

"Here they fell to smoking, chewing

"I dismissed the suite as promptly as
possible, thereby incurring, of course,
tt.e displeasure of the Princess Pauline.
