FOUND IN AN OLD STUMP.
Original Mnn user l|>t o .ie Book ol
Mormon U Discovered In
Hit not*.
ConsidenyAie" excitement has been
created’recently in southern Illinois j
over a discovery made by Marshal Pen- |
rod, who lives on a farm close to the
village of Dougola, in Union county,
| says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Penrod
in digging a black stump out of a po
tato field, close to his residence, found
a stone which was nbout a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
pocket book, attracted his attention,,
and upon close examination he found
carved on its face in English the fob
i lowing words: “This stone conlains
I * i- _ » .. .4- ..if * V. k« ,1,
I UX Wl IHUl IUUMUWV1 “ •
the Mormon. Joseph Smith.”
The ravages of time hud apparently
made little headway on the stone, and
upon close examination he found the
stone was hollow. A hole had been .
drilled entirely through it, and at both
ends red cedar plugs had been driven.
Upon removing one of the plugs, sever
al sheets of paper, containing writing ^
in hieroglyphics that could not be de- 1
ciphered, were found. The characters |
are peculiar, following no known line |
of ancient writing.
At the bottom of the last page was
found written in English: “The finder
of this manuscript will deliver the j
name to the elders of the Mormon ;
church." The stone still remains with
Mr. Penrod, and already communica- j
tion has been made with the Salt Lake !
cnureh, giving the incidents of the find.
It is thought the Mormon church will
take steps at once to secure the ston*
and also the manuscript.
ANIMALS THAT WEEP.
Many Specie* '•<* jic llrutc Creation
Shed Hi When Fright
ened or Hurt.
“He cried like a calf,” is a remark
sometimes heard. It is no disgrace for
a calf to cry anfi he sheds tears in quan- '
titles when his i motions justify them. !
It is even easier for him to cry than for
many other animals, because his
lachrymal apparatus is perfect a-wd
very productive.
A scientific writer writing in La Bffc j
ture says that the ruminants are tfid :
animals which weep most readib j
Hunters have long known that a 1
at bay cries profusely. The tears will
roll down the nose of u bear when ho (
feels that his last hour is approaching, j
The big, tende" eyes of the giraffe fill
with tears as ne looks at the hunter j
who has wounded him.
Dogs weep very easily. The dog has
tears both in his eyes and voice when
his beloved master goes away and
leaves him tied up at home. Some v&. j
rieties of monkeys seem to be particu
larly addicted to crying, and not a few
aquatic mammals also find it easy to.
weep when the occasion requires it. ’
Seals in particular are often seen to
cry.
Elephnnts weep piofusely when
wounded or when they see that escape
from their enemies is impossible. The
mimals here mentioned are the chief :
Jnes that are known to weep, but there I
s no doubt that many others also ditf>
day similar emotion.
