'Mysiery of a Vanished Party of
Australian Explorers.
LEFT NOT A TRACE BEHIND.
The Lalohhardt Expedition Disappear'
d Though It Had Boon 8wallowed
Up by the Earth, Which May Indood
Hava Boon ta Fearful Fata.
There bar been recorded many
frange tragedies of exploration In Ion
and distant lands, but no one event of
the kind bua ever so stirred men's minds
a did tbe total disappearance of tbe
well found and splendidly equipped ex
pedition wblcb Dr. Ludwlg Lelch
hardt, tbe Franklin of Australia, led
Into tbe central dcaerU or Australia In
i84a
Lelchhardt's design wu to march
rbiht acrooe tbe continent from the east
coast to tbe west, and as be bad al
ready led a successful expedition near
lj 3.000 mllec through a previously un
known part of Australia. It was gener
ally thought that be would be able to
accomplish the task.
Still, there were some who doobted
nd prophesied .áster, and more than
one wealthy fHond of tbe doetor'a re
fused to subscribe toward the expedí
tloo on the ground that they were not
going to help blm to commit suicide.
Tbe members of the expedition num
bered six whites and two blacks, an
unusually large number for an explor
ing expedition of tbls nature, and be
aldea being amply provided with flour.
Discuit, tea. sugar and so on. they drove
along wltb them fifty bullocks and 270
goats. They also had apare horse and
mule In abundance.
At that time the most westerly ata
tlon In aouthern Quecensland was oc
cupied by a squatter named McPher
eon, who dwelt on Cogoon creek. From
there Lelcbhardt wrote a brief letter as
be was about to start Into tbe unknown
land beyond.
That was the last ever heard of him
or of any of bla companions, and this
notwithstanding the fact that expedí
tlon after expedition waa afterward
sent out In search of them.
As completely as though they bad
been swallowed op by tbe earth, they
vanished.
This la the most puezllng part of the
mystery its completeness. Had they
teen killed by tbe natives, as was at
first wrongly reported, some relics of
the explorer would long since have
been recovered from them. In tome
ahape the Iron work of the Implement
and arm they had with them would
nave survived.
And what of tbe stock? Soma of tbe
goats, at all events, must have been
left alive, one would have Imagined,
for these are notoriously hardy ani
mals, able to pick up a living almost
anywhere. Yet none of these, nor any
of the horses, mule or bullock were
ever traced.
The probability la that tbe ill fated
expedition struck one of those water
lesa patches of country common In
part of Australia, Into which tbe
blacka never venture. It la not difficult
In this case to prophesy what would
have been their fate.

Tbe explorers, we may be surer, would

A VERY ANCIENT TUNE.
H Is Also Probably tho Moot Popular
One In tho World.
Perhaps the nioMt (Irmly established
popular song In the world Is the sir fa
miliar to American aa "We Wou't Oo
Borne Till Morning " The origin of tbe
tune la obscure, but Louis Elson be
lieves that tbe music wss composed
aa a love ong lu the tenth century or
earlier by one of tbe troubadours, tbe
wandering mlustrele of southern
France. Chateaubriand, the French
writer, heard It aung by the Arabs, and
be suggested that It might have been
carried to tbe orient by tbe French cni
sad era.
It waa certainly aung by the French
soldiers during the war in which the
first Duke of Marlborough won bis
lame. It waa tbe lullaby of the babv
son of Marie Antoinette. It became one
Of the most Dooular Bonn of th
French revolution. Napoleon whistled
and aang It throughout bla life. Beetho
ven used It aa one of the theme of his
Battle Symphony."
it has been for more than a century
one of tbe most popular atreet songs in
Europe. And there la probably not a
ten-year-old boy or girl In America who
doea not know tbe tune.
The French words, beginning "Mai
brook a'en va-t-en guerre," were invent
ed by some forgotten French soldier
during the war of tbe Spanish sncces
sion. They describe tbe supposed death
and funeral of tbe Duke of Marlbor
ough, which death. In the words of
Father Trout "did not then take place,
by some mistake." since "tbe subject of
the pathetic elegy waa at the time of tta
composition, both alive and kicking all
before blm."
Tbe aong bad nearly died out In
Prance wben Mane Antoinette caught
It np from tbe pengnnt nurse she had
employed for her baby: thereupon It
spread rapidly, as songs do In France.
Beaumarcbats Introduced It Into "The
Marriage of Figaro." and It was nsed
by the red republicana for Incendiary
purposes of their own.
Several acta of words have been sung
to the tune In the course of its history,
and It baa Itself undergone some modi
flcatlona. But Its Identity Is clear
through all tbe changes. Probably It la
familiar to a greater number of people
at tbe present time than any other tune
In the world. Youtb'a Companion.

A Couple of Shrewd Queries and tho
Railroad Loot Its Case.
A number of years ago Benjamin F.
Butler waa a guest of friends In Brook
lyn. During bis visit be noted tbe rule
of tbe street railway companies com
pelling conductora to register fares as
soon aa passengers entered tbe cara
and before tbe fare were actually col
lected. Two or three years afterward
be represented the plaintiff In a damage
suit for $1.'.,(X)0 in which a Brooklyn
atreet railway company waa tbe de
fendant Tbe principal witness for
tbe company was the conductor of the
car on which tbe accldeut occurred,
and bla testimony was so strong aa to
muke thing look bad for Butler'a cli
ent But Butler recalled the unuauul
rule be bud remarked years before, and
on cross examination he said:
'Ydur company requires yon to ring
np fares aa soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn't It?"
"Yes."
"Suppose a passenger boards your
car and tben finds be Is on tbe wrong
line. Do you state that fact to your
superiors, and do they make allowance
on your returna for that fare?"
"No. 1 loae the nickel."
"Do you mean to say the company
won't take your word for 6 cents)"
"No, they won't"
"Yet," said the shrewd veteran, turn
ing to tbe Jury, "the company asks you
to take this conductor's word for $15,

Upon an Englishman.
It was years ago In Burma. Thi
English governmeut was having trou
ble with a certain princely recalcitrant
named Boh Ton. "the moat daring and
enterprising of the Dacolts." A heavy
price bad been set upon tbe rebel's
head, but still Boh Ton was cunningly
el un fie. ' ...
At last, hard pressed. Boh .Ton tried
a new tnck. lie walked straight luto
the office of the commissioner.
"I am Boh TaMi," he said slmpl. "1

Exactly wbnt be had "ounted oa now

with eaatern subtlety and Intrigue bad
taught the commissioner ta be wary.
"Thank you," be said. "We will now
proceed to discover who yoo really are
and what you really want. Tell me,
what do you expect to get out of this?"
"Ten thousand rupees," said the Boh
quietly.
Thq commissioner, although a cool
man, was a little staggered. "I don't
quite follow," be murmured.
"Yet Ifa quite simple," whispered the
Boh. "The government promises 10,
000 rupees to the man who brings you
tbe head of Boh Toh. I give It to you."
"Capital," waa the wary answer.
"But as you loso your head what good

"My wife and children get the mon-
"Pretty good, my man, but not quite

"But why shouldn't I keep the mob

Then he broke silence. "Look here, I

quite clear. I don't care who you are.

Tbe Burmnn hesitated awhile.' - Then
be aald: "You are right But my Ufe la

them on the table "and keep them if

The commissioner thought hard and
in silence for quite two minutes.
"I agree," be aald at length. '

Heroism of an Indian.
A few years ago In northern Mexico
a truck carrying a load of dynamite
for usa at a mine was suddenly discov
ered to bo on fire at a village station.
The risk was Imminent, so tbe driver
of a locomotive engine picked the truck
up and ran it away into the country at
all the speed be could put on.' lie bade
tho brakeman jump off and save him
self, adding, "I go to my death." When

CHANCE FORECASTS.
Writera of Old Who Dimly Pointed to
Modern Inventions.
Chance phrases In the literary works
of other days describe with uncanny
exactness Inventions of far later times
For instance, we find In tbe "Frolu
slons" of Stradn the Itoman, which
were published In the year 1017. what
might be held to embody a crude de
scription of wireless telegraphy. .
St rada represents two friends as car-
Tying on a correspondence by means of
a "certain londxtone which has such
virtue In It that. If It touches two nee
dles when one of the needle; begins to
move, the other, although at ever ao
great a distance, mases nt the same
time and In tho same manner."
In 1074 Robort Honke published a
worn wnerein ne observed that as
glasRes improve the vision so ways
might be found to Improve our other
aetroes. "It la not Impossible," naya he,
"to hear a whisper a distance of a fur
long, and perhaps tbe nature of the
thing would not make It Impossible al
though that furlong should be ten times
multiplied." This seems to be a fair
forecast of the telephone.
In "Gulliver'a Travels" Swif. causes
bis hero to relato In the voyage to La
putn that the astronomers there "hnve
likewise discovered the two leaser star
or satellites which revolve about Mars.'
This has been held to constitute a aa
tire oo sham science. Nevertheless
Professor Asnph Hall a few yeara ago
Discovered the two tiny satellites.
It wag more than 1,700 years ago
that Lucían gave an account of the
manner wherein, the Inhabitants of the
moon drank "air squeezed or compress
ed into a goblet" so that it formed a
kind of dew. This clearly suggests
liquid air.
The same writer in "Vera Historia"
humorously and nt aonie leueth de
scribes an aerial ship the sails of which
were inflated by a whirlwind, thus im
pelling it through space to tho moon.

It is held at the boundary stone of San
Martin, which separates tbe Freucb
valley Bareton from the Spanish valley
of Roncal. Every year the representa

there in order to pay the Spaniards a

At & o'clock In the morning tbe may
ora of tbe various villages lu tbe Bare-
ton valley, bravely adorned with their
blue, white and red scarfs of office,
march up to tbe boundary stone. In
front of tbe column walks a lad. with a
pike, from the point of which fliittera a
little white pennon aa a gage of peace.
ine tnree calves are dragged in the
rear of the procession at the end of
long ropes. Calves and scarfs take up
ineir position by tho atone and await
tbe arrival of the Spaniards.
They are soon vMble In the distance,
In front walks a man clad in sheeD
skins, who waves a red pennon at tbe
end or a pike aa a algn of war. Behind
him walks tho alcalde of Isabn, the
principal village In the valley of Ron
cal, and following him oorao the a
caldea of the other villages, tbelr ataffs
Of office in their hands. The bulk of
tho procession consists of shepherds,
stern looking fellows armed with old
sabers and matchlocks
The alcalde of Isaba is all glorious to
behold In a long black garment fas
tened by gold buttons, a tall white ruff,
tight fitting knee breeches, red silk
stockings andbuckled shoes. A som
brero covers his bead, and in his hands
ho holds the staff adorned with sllvef
knobs, the emblem in Spain of magis
terlal dignity.
As aoon as tho Spaniards reach the
rendezvous the alcalde of Isaba atepa
to ine rroot and addresses them in sol
emn ceremonial style:
Aré you come to pay tribute and
swear friendship according to old cus
tom and tradition V
"That is tbe reason of our coming,
answer the French.
Tben the two standard bearers ap
proach tbe boundary stone and lay
tneir pikes crosswise upon it. After a
few. moments the Spaniard takes his
up again, sticks It into French soil and
then places it as before on tbe utoue.
On the cross formed by the two shafts
tne representatives of the two rollers
swear to keep the peace with loyal
mina,
Then follows the delivery of the three
calves to the Spaniards. They ore ex
amlned by a veterinary surgeon and
accepted, after which all present take
up their stations under a shady oak,
and, following the example of tbe good
St Louis of France and Alfonso tbe
" ise of Spain, the alcalde of Isaba en
thrones himself among tbe gnarled
roots of the oak and proceeds to act as
a magistrate.
Shepherds and neatherds pass before
him and prefer their international com
plaints. The Judge listens to both sides,
bids them bring forward their witness
es and delivers judgment without de
lay, Inflicting a fine on one, awarding
compensation to another, punishing one
and affording satisfaction to his victim.
After all the quarrels arc aettled the
alcalde undertakes the appointment of
the pasture guardians for both valleys,
so that he eujoya even greater author
ity In the township of Bareton than the
president -of the republic himself. Fi
nally, they all betake themselves to
Spanish aotl, where a Homeric feast la
set out, and till late in the night tbe
banquet goea on, the descendants of
the old warlike mountain peoples drink
ing together In brotherly unity In com
memoration of the conclusion of the
peace of 1375 and the Installation of
the above ceremonies.
About 300 years after this treaty had
been made the French began to refuse
to pay the tribute, but after some nego
tiations they consented to continue It.
In more modern times they tried to get
the tribute commuted to a 8um of mon

BROKE IT GENTLY.
Ho Didn't Know Exaotly What to Do,

A young author and critic, who has
come to be an authority upon a certain
modern phase of educalon, went a few
days ago to deliver his first lecture at
a girls' school. lie had lectured before.
but never at a young ladies' semi
nary, and aa two white frocked, curly
haired ushers led hlui out to the plat
form and be sat down beside the ma
tronly principal among the women who
made up the faculty and faced a sea of
girls' faces he waa young enough to
feci a bit of embarrassment himself.
It waa rather difficult at first, but once
the lecture was started things went all
right.
He finished what he had to say and
sat down. The audience and the ma
tronly principal and the women who
made up the faculty clapped their
bonds enthusiastically. Tben the ap
plause d'el down and silence settled
upon the lecture hall. The young man
sat on waltlug for some one to say
something, aim', y conscious that a
move of one kind or another waa ex
pected of him. But his lecture was
finished. He bad said all be had to
aay. There were no questions from
faculty r students. A few of tbe glrlu
began to fidget, but uo one spoke.
The yonng man became unpleasantly
aware that be was expected to do
something and to do It at once, but he
did not know what to do. He reflected
miserably that be did not know tbe
etiquette of a girls' school anyhow.
And then there waa a signal from tho
principal and a move in the audience," "
and the prettier of the two girl ushers
approached him, a little embarrassed,
a little shy. determined to do her duty.
I m so sorry, Mr. B.," she murmur
ed, "but I'm afraid you'll have to

"In English Inns," aald a man who
had Just returned from a long coaching
trip la England, "they do not use lem
ons In our haphaiard fashion. Tbey
make tbe use of one more or less of a
solemn rite. I remember asking for a
'horse's neck in a little inn in the north
country. The landlord had never beard
of the drink, and I explained to blm
that It waa ginger ale wltb a lemon
peel in It. He went back to' the bar
and returned presently with an empty
tray. 'I'm very sorry, air,' be said,
'but we haven't got a lemon open Just
now. "New York Tribuno.
