    The atlantides by Edgar iucien larken *iiote: I nave re-typed this article for the convenience of the the a At eager, as the original was very hard to do because of age of the newspaper, ie there any truth in the legend of the lost con- tinent of atlantis? william kandall, 33 Eddy street, san yramcisco, Ual., and others daily. wuring fourty-seven years I have answered this questi wite astonishing regularity; but now all traces of their coming regularly, say six per month, are ended. They are coming faster; interest is awakening, and more serious thinkers are studying in silence, even when man seems about to be submerged by an astounding flood of idietic, senseless, brainless "social" frivolity, gold leprosy and longing for the precious vision of running blood in war, and at mo time in all these years bas the incoming tide of questions on religion been so strong as now. I am begged, implored and labored with te answer questions on the very origin and foundation of religion as never before. Thus two striking facts are apparent, approaching idiocy im outrageous fashions, babits and deplorable antics of the ultra-ultre, brainless non-thinkers who have no trace ef thought for the future, and the strong undercurrent of the thougatful and careful. + * * Tn my fourteenth year I read and reread with the most imeredible rapicity Plate's account of the existance and submergence of the vast island continent of atlantis, between africa and america, mere 18 a rewarkuble fact. I read Plate’s master words from dive to ten times aster than I would read other books not fascinating. le trace of doubt, distrust or suspicion that ‘the account of the famous Greek was in error bas ever entered uy wind from that Gay until this ay, December 27, 1913. yo ne then, it is a set, fixed and rigid truth that there was once @ great continent west of the Pillars of Hereules (cisralter) and east of Guba. and to me it is now and ever kas been a set, fixed and rock-auen truth that the atlenteans at toeir nighest, were bigher than we are now in every physical science. and imuensley more advanced in the stupendous science of Kentonomy, the law of the mind. They were not ony within the wind maze, but they knew the entrance, every wind- ing way, pata, lane, corridor, chamber,passageway, room, Adytun and exit. * * he people tnet we now call the atlentides called themselves the poseidii or inkabitants of Peseid. and the simply astonish- ing city of costly palaces and imposing temples, entire buildings of precious stone, Chipaol, was the splendid capitol. Every wacel, all work was performed by electricty, at the cost of air and water. uyr. Foreman, ximaly bave your mea excavate bere", said einrick ycklicuam, pointing to a spot in 1873. ‘he spot indicated was om the present surface of the site of ancient proy, the classic city of Homer's Iliad. vue men worked with the excitement and partial inthusiasm of vae great arcuseclogist. They decended to the second city, and excavated the very treasure house of Priam of classic story. Uhey exnumed am owl-veaded vase of beautifully wrought bronze, of great size, ana of design and shape bitherto unknown to the hediterranean countries. This precious vase Was aeposited in a safe place, away frou fire, for it bore an inscription: "From King Caronos of atlantis.” ais was tue first time that the word atlantis had been found, plate was confirmed so far as the name of the con- tinent at least. In 18y3, ten years later, Sctliemann was in the Louvre in paris, and ue discovered a mate to the owl-headed vase. But tae vase was from the ruined temple of Tiakuanaca in Central america. and tae contents of both vases were identical--little figures, pottery, bone ornaments and the like. * * * Same Gays before Sculiemann died in Naples, in 1890, it was witha sadness that I read the account at the time--he deposit— ed a sealed envelope upon which he had written! "This can only be opened sy a member of my family who solemly vows to devote Bis life to the researches outlined therein." ne nour before bis death he called for paper and with weakening and ke wrote: "Confidential addition to the sealed envelope. Break the owl-headed vase. Pay attention to its contents, It concerns atlantis, Investigate the east of the ruins of the temple of sais and the cemetary of the Chacuna Valley. Important, t proves the system, higut approaches---Lebewobl.” Then came the setting pall of death. Qais writing wae placed with the sealed envelope in a bank vault in France. jione dared open, none was ready to take the vow for life. This was in 1890. In 1906, his son, Paul Schliemann took the solemn and unbreakable vow for life, with intense excitement ue opened the envelope and the first docu- ment read: "I bave come to the conclusion that Atlentis was not only a great territory between america and the west coast of africa and Lurope, but the cradle of all our civilization as well.” put sais, the temple city in Egypt, is where Plato received nis information from the grand Hierophant that atlantis sank 9,000 years before. and Chacuna is in distant america. The vases, figures, pottery, ornaments, carvings and decorations are identical, and coins alike and of the same kind of metal-— provea by chemical analysis. waen after svrange weditations Paul gchliemann broke the vase. x square of white silver-like metal, a metal or coin Fell out of the mass of clay at the bottom. The head side Was inscribed in unknown characters: but on the other side there was an inscription in Phoenician characters readin, Issued from the temple of Transparent walls", put the metal, ite like is not wentioned in any writing. It was analyzed and was found to be an alloy of platinum, alu~ minum and copper! only skilled metalurgists can now hope to imitate this precious alloy then used for coins. And metal from central america uas the Same composition! And this metal is much larger than the neck of the vase, which must bave peen fasaiouedwith amazing skill around it. I have no space to wention a bunared other wonders told by Paul Schliemann. * * * a boy aged 17 years, breathless from having run two miles, dashed into bis uome, and under great excitement and fear exlcained: "Un! wother, my hand is writing, 1 cannot stop. It began woen I was in the woods." (ae wother with great haste ran and got more writing paper eave it to ber son, and he kept on writing until the force leit nis arm and band. whe youth had been driving stakes at the boundries of a mining claim on the foot of kount Shasta, in our own Califor- nia. He drove one, took out @ small book or tablet and wrote ‘tne number of the stake and place, Then he got another stake and took up the book and pencil to write its number. He never wrote it: instead hie band began writing part second of one of tne most remarkable books in existance. Filled with awe and fear, he ran the two miles to his mother, this was in 1883 at the foot of Shasta and in full view of ite sumit of ice and snow, But in 1863 Heinrich Schliemann came in posession of the secret contents of the owl-headed vase of fine bronze, in Paris. fhe boy at intervals wrote part second of the momentous book, and then began page one, part one. The whole manuscript was gimisned in taree years, or in 1886. at times he would be suacenly siezed with the resistless writing force in arm from elbow to hand and write slowly a sieet or two of large letter cap, and at times he would write with astonishing rapidity, onee eignty large pages without stopping. often he would begin rapid writing in darimess, with no power to strike a light. que manuscript of this now wonderful book contains names of persons,
