Will tho mystery of "lost Atlantis" ever be solved to ^enoial satisfaction? Tin story has been toU) for cvutu ries. ami In still uoccptcd as true by number* 01 people on both sides of tlx* Atlantic. Tin' GtTtflnHl t*foa wfiK Hint an la In ml of .e sl'/.o and great beau ty existed beyond Africa, vvltli many largo cities, and nations having -trubge laws mid customs. Some writers Jnive even gone so fur as to describe the Kind of clothing the poo pie wore and tJhe money they uyed. Then the story goes ilmt the Inhahi tapis of this great Island of Atlantis grow bold und warlike, nml that they Invaded Ktirope and Africa. Hut fate was unkind lo them because of their wicked liens, It Ik slid ; terrible earth quakes and Hoods occurred, ami lo a single day and night Atlantic was swallowed up and sank Into the depths of the Atlantic ociHui', Tn the attempt to find some ground t'or the persistent belief, .'-one famous scientist fell hack upon the time, thousands of years ago, when great tracts of tho earl b were covered wllli tt sheet of Ice of va:>t thickness. In this he were Imprisoned ? such enormous quantities of water that the level of the oceans snnk quite low, with the result that large areas of. land wero left uncovered. One of these uncovered portions, he sug gested. was the hsland or continent of Atlantis, which, 011 ^he molting of the lee, was covered again hy water to h great depth. The western mountains of Europe and the eastern mountains of North America are supposed to be fragments of the high mountain ranges of this mysterious "lost Atlantis." Pig Clubs Flourish. Wall Street has many clubhand fra ternity men, but probably no mem bers of the Pig club. Indeed, such a club could not flourish In lower New York. Yet. it Is one of the greatest clubs In the eouutry. The promoters are usually country blinks. Member ship is obtained by borrowing money from the bank to buy a pig distin guished ancestry. little freckle-faced farm boys make up tho membership. The notes are always paid in full and the embryo farmer becomes a pro ducer of thoroughbred Hvo stock. Qixt} little member In Oklahoma who started with a pig and a debt at the bank recently walked out of the fair ground wkh a big cash prize In his pocket, and now . he owns a herd Of purebred Tola nd China's and a bank account. Tfie Middle Wept Is swrtrin-. Jng With such members and st ill new clubs'.are forming. Wail Street Is In terested because in one year the puck ers alone paid the farmers $1,768,000, "000 for hogs, and these little club members are adding Immensely to the value of the future production. ? Wall Street Journal. Dunaany a Fast Writer. Lord Dunaany, who, despite the slump In theaterlund, has had a new plfty produced in Loudun recently, np ltctrrs io be well ulgh as f'Hciie a play wright a$ Lope do Vega, remarks the Manchester Guardian! From the pref ace to "Ptays of Birlg 'trad Men"- we learn that the longest of- these, a three-act tragedy, took him only three days t<> write ; u tvo-uct j>lny took two days; a one-act play one day. The time allowance of an act a. day was exceeded only In the<jase of "The Queen's Enemies," the single act of ?which took six days, and most read ers of the volume will agree that it Is the least effective play of the four. Mr. Pond, the lecture agent under whose auspices Lord Dunaany toured the States two years ago, tmyiT . "To see Lord Dunsany at work ? a thing which Tie seldom permits ? Is fo"Se(FS~ ceremonial. He u$es large, square cut enameled paper, and he "writes urJih -ii. oulJJ ne_u_ On one side he has a great stack of fresh blotters, and when he finishes a page he blots It and throws the blotter away." Farm on Bed of Lake. . ft seemed Impossible to read the heading, "A Cultivated Lake," with out wondering whether any of__the' Inhabitants of the lake were cultured, like some oysters. The lake In ques tion Is Lake Clrtnitz in mldeastern Europe. The most cultured occupants turned out to be the human beings who sow and harvest on the lake bot tom in stnnmer, the waters having departed suddenly through great- As sures in the bed of the lake. In the autumn the waters return as rapidly as they went, throwing up cascades of foam as If from blowholes. _ Pre sumably the lake is fed In winter by water coming to It underground from a body ?r Wfftcr htjhfCr tn the moun tains and, in turn, empties Into nome lower lying basin.?

HANT INDOOR WINDOW BOX Small expense and Little Effort Re quired to Have Ornamentation Always Pleasing t To the real garden lover the charm of the garden can |>e extended all through the winter months, for a window gnir den gives cheer to a room and Is al ways a source iif interest atul delight. Window boxes can be kept charming for tlie entire year by lining them with hardy begonias ami ferns, suggests the Christian Science Monitor. Another In- j teres ting arrangement, all in green, lb of small palms and ferns of the long leaved Host on type, and asparagus "xpreUgori to trail over the edge. Prim rose, the Chinese or common variety, and Irish Ivies make a window box with n delightful color note. For late autumn; If the room is kept cool, some of the darling Utile chrysanthemums in brown and yellow are effective and they* will last several weeks. For the late winter or early spring (lowering bulbs may be used among ferns. In planting a winter garden on* yiusi alw-ays remember thai plants do not thrive near steam heat, and if the radiator Is under the window a broad' shelf should be placed t?ix inches or more above it aud the box set back on the shelf, so that i&e force of hot air does not come too near the foliage. The small expense and the little ef fort required for a beautiful Indoor window box piakes It possible Tor every home-ioving 'woman to have one. Restoration Vorth While. * Why hulld new cottages? Why not repair old ones? These were the ques tions asked by the Society for the Pro* tectiun of Ancient Huntings. in Eng land, and answered successfully. The society took a veritable relic of old England, Ave centuries old If a single day, in the shape of two dwellings un der one roof at Orlnkstone, In Suffolk. -The thick tlfabers, seasoned to the quality of Irifti, were good, hut the roof, tlte -floof and the windows were defective. - In fact the building was habitable <miy on a portion of the ground floor. .Nothing daunted, the so ciety set to work and, by judicious restoration, made the old dwellings as sound as a bell. The total cost of the work, including the freehold site, was $,3,012. A new cottage would have cost at least $4,700, not including (he site. Is it any wonder that the society is casting round for other old haunt* to conquer? ? Christian Science Monitor. New -i'Landed Gentry" in England. The advent of a new "landed gentry" In England since the war Is made plain by "Hurke'a," an annual work of refer ence on that subject which lins reap | pea red after a break of seven years. Over 100 names of old landowners have disappeared since the la*t edition, and their places have been taken by double that numtor o( newcomer* In the j preface, the editor remarks: "Much as the passing of old families from the land, or the diminution of fhoir B rid ings, is to be regretted, the rise of a new class Of landed gentry, possessed of means euabliug tbeui to develop e* tstes which had he<-otm' impoverished I through the misfortune* of their pre vlou* owners, cannot be without bene i nt re the country.
