Those of our ancestors who were culled Kelts or Celts, und who lived in Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Wales, und part of Scotland, were just as much lovers of gold us we ure. It was not because they required so many comforts as we do. They were content with one story for a house, und that was usually below ground, often carved out of the side of a hill. They nad little knowledge of any kind of money, but they valued the gold for ornaments. They decorated their horses with thin beat en plates of gold placed in front of the animal's chest, hut the metal was so scarce thai It wus only a great chief who could afford such decorutlon for tho team whlcb drew his chariot, or for tho war-horse whereon he charged his enemies. li seems tu he iiniurul fnr all man- Kind tn love this mysterious product of the chemistry of nature, which no man can Imitate, am] which nn othor substance can corrode or destiny nr alter.

Tbe two metals which are most like to gold-—-namely, copper uml iron pyrites—and both found Iu masses, and both have been used to mix with gold iu harden it. But uur ancestors used the pure metal as a rule, because they could not without difficulty make any lire hot enough to fuse tt. One way Ihey tried to get great heat was by the gathering together of wood in vast piles, logs and brushwood alternating in layers. Near this they gathered seaweed, placing this also In layers among the wood, unit so got a heat sufficient to fuse certain stones. For cementing the loose piled stones of a wall for defence they employed such brushwood heaps, setting fire to them, and letting the molten cement from lhe fused stones placed ou the lop of Ihe pyre flow down and flood Die tup and sides of this loose wall. But such methods could not lie employed fnr the gold, which had to be worked In pits, where the draught would nut make a furnace strong enough. Therefore extraction of the metal by hammering had to be resorted to. The ore was placed in hollows In hard stones, uud was pounded with granite or porphyry hand hammers, or basalt blocks, and the Shining grains collected; but the labor was su great that only the most powerful then commanding the services of many serfs or slaves or laborors COUld afford It. Por instance, at Invorary iln- children of ibe glen were told by Iheir parents, and they In turn told their children. lhal a treasure was hidden there. Hut prophecy said li would never be found save by ilu* hum! uf a stranger. Search was made by generation after generation uf children. If a badger made a hide in ihe hillside they believed thai tin- badger had got hold of ilu* scent, and ids burrow was dim up, but no young or old badger ever Issued from those holes wltb bangles on its neck or nose.

Sometimes Ignorant men who have found them looked upon the gold as mere brass, nnd there wus one cuse In which u number of bracelets thnt were found In an Island In the Hebrides wert* forthwith employed as drawer- handles for an old pine-wood chest of drawers in a cottuge. A pedlur came that way und found that the old chest hud very heavy handles, and gave fifteen shillings for the drawers, took them away, und sold them for twenty pounds sterling each. He never went buck to that cottago for more, and the "handles" that were put to his name by that cottager some time afterward mny have been brazen, but wero certainly not of high value to the person he so despoiled.

If you have any doubt about it a talk wilh William T. Ilornaday, director of the New York Zoological Park, will convert you to the belief thai animals can think and reason just us human helims. though not to the same degree, And the word of Mr. Ilornaday is worth something, for he is an authority on animals, their ways and their life. (in the whole Mr. Ilornaday does not describe the mental Operations of animals as thinking or reasoning. He calls it "temperament." But in- says thai animals reason, and by lhat he means ihey thiuk, As in human beings, the range of Intelligence or reasoning power varies, and he tines not contend that because ymi can train an animal (hut animal can Ihlnk. Not at ull. An animal may be able to think, hut it won't i.e trained. There an* human beings yuu can't train although (bey huve Intelligence, Just so wiih animals, Mr. Hornnday says. "Huw far does the reasoning power of Ihe animal go?" repeated Mr. Ilornaday iu answer to the question. "Thai Ih hard tn say. It Is a question of degree, not of kind. I am convinced that animals reason the same as men du; lite same as human beings. You know there an- human beings who do nut thiuk and there are lots who do. It Is the same wllh un limits. Some think, others don't. "If animals did not Ihlnk a lot of them (hat have not lost their pells would have lost tbem long ago, Take (h<< fox, for Instance. They live and have tholr young In so-called civilised communities in spite of poison, dogs. 1 rafts and marksmen. If tlie fox did nol think how could it overcome all these difficulties? Well.

Then* Is uo question uboul ll. foXOS have ,],.ne (lie same thing. Yd there an* folks who will suy tlmt anltnuls do not think.' This brought Mr Hornaday to tha point Of deciding which animal had the most Intelligence. II didn't lake him long to mnke his decision, "To settle that." he said, "you mist choose between Ihe ehunpansee ami ttie orang-utan, and It Is hard to n.iy which, hut I believe the blue ribbon should go to the chimpanzee. The chlmpnti7.ee has Hie nervous temperament. Its mind act! more quickly nnd tt has ti better memory, ll has a greater range of ideas. So it would nam to nie that thc chimpanzee should come tttsi. wiih the orang-utan nt xt "Naturally the elephant n.m great Intelligence and perhaps It should come third. Thc hour bus remarkable Intelligence also, and his group is well up in tiie mental scale by whlcb animals are measured." Mr. Hornaday's eyes twinkled us he rcmininseed of animals lie had known. Visitors to the beautiful zoological gardens in The Bronx have been entertained by the antics of Bnldy, the chimpanzee. Baldy is one of the features of thc purk, a favorite with sightseers and attendants, lie has been dressed In all sorts of costumes for tlie edification and amusement of beholders nnd for his own joy und glory. "Baldy," said Director Hornadiy, "Is a different ape when he Is not dressed compared with when he wears clothes, Put clothes on him und it changes his demeanor entirely If he is not dressed he Is a wild hurum scar- urn animal, up to every kind of a trick. He is a clown. Nothing pleases him more thun to muke visitors Inugh. And he seldom falls If In* is in the humor, which usually Is the case. "Mat drOSS him up and see whut happens. He becomes Sedate, docile and obedient. He will do uhnusi anything you wish. You can tuke him by ihe hand and he will walk urniiud the park wilh you. Oh yes, he lias dotiu It often.

Before going to sleep al night I always had n bad attack, and in the morning before each breakfast I suffered greatly.

A DREAM OF THE PAST A lively nud entertaining writer has recently made a picture of tho decline ami fall of home nnd housekeeping in the old sense.

But before that wo extract u typical passage from his account of present conditions: "With tin* bread-making gone nut of the kitchen to the bakery; with Bprlng cleaning dune by suction; with the washboard nnd lye-soup superseded by the steam laundry and oxalic add; with the garden piled up on the floor of nn eight-by-ten neighborhood grocery store; wllh the old spring house and the brown crocks I runs- luted Into terms of certification nnd hermetically sealed bottles; and with the big house re-expressed as apartments with seven -nj I -light- rooms- a ml-u-nice-broom-closet, housekeeping has bidden fair lo become a system of small pottering and wasteful shifting of responsibility." All that is true of many families. Rut is || true as Die writer goes on to say thut oul of this condition Iiuh developed u tolerably common, If not general, desire to get buck to thc slower, cheaper, more troublesome ways?

Argi ntlna's mosl notable natural phenomenon, the famous "Pledra Mov ediza," or oscillating rock, near Tan- dtl, has fallen down. The huge rock lay upon another rock near the edge of u cliff. It swung to and fro on being touched by the hand, but the fiercest hurricane had been unable to dislodge it. The cause of Its collapse after so many hundreds of years Is n mystery. A picturesquely patriarchal figure, who attracted the attention uf thousands of visitors to the "Passion Play" of 1910, has Just died al oberammer- gau, aged ninety-three.

Nicolas Koptolos, bootblack and speculator, believed in-nelther God nor the devil. Uut he hiid implicit faith In the sure things and straight tips of Mr, Peter Jackson, colored. Therefore, when late one evening Mr. Peter Jackson turned from Pacific street Into Kearny and crossed diagonally over to Koptolos' stand, Nicolas got down quickly and hurried out to meet him. But not till Mr. Peter Jackson was safe in the privacy of thc stand, seated comfortably In one of the imitation red-leather chairs wilh Nicolas bending forward eagerly ln the other, did he begin.

Turning his back on the noise and lights, he walked slowly off up Kearny street. With every step lhe chances of raising any money before the morning grow loss and loss while the pile that would be his if ho only eould do It grew larger and larger. Sullen nnd disgusted with the whole scheme of things, Nicolas Koptolos at last stootl before his own front door and gazed out angrily over lho moonlit bay.

George Declmos must have money. If he would lend twenty dollars, just four miserable little gold pieces, he should have il all back in a few hours. It was an absolutely sure thing. Besides De- clmos an J Koptolos came from the same town in southern Greece and that ought to make some difference. But Koptolos knew Declmos' reputation among the other Greeks in the city—harder than a Turk and stingier lhan a Jew. Alone in his little cabin he worked, week in, week out, and no one knew just bow much money he had.

MetwiL tolos, huddled down in the depths of the red-leather chair, arms folded, sunk forward, gave him no uneasiness, lie had seen something very like It before. The sight had taught him this: if Nicolas Koptolos bad one friend froin wlmm he could borrow, or one thing pawnable or salable, tlmt twenty dollars would be ready the next day. Then half would go on Firefly; half into Jackson's pocket. If Firefly won. Koptolos would mala* something anyway. If she didn't Jackson would stay away for a few days. Koptolos was such "an easy thing." Left alone. Koptolos sat and thought and thought. All around him the night life of the place was getting into full swing. The tides of human passion that run strong along the shores of Barbery Const were fast washing the wrecks to the surface. .Night after night they come up—old men, | young men, white men, fnt, greasy black men; slouching figures in clothes worn yellow-green by ago; erect flg- i ores whose blue coats and brass but- ' tons marked them OS defenders of our national honor, if not of their* own; dark-bearded sailors from foreign ships I lu port, impossible names printed on | the bands of their impossible little Cars whizzed by. their jangling bells for a moment interrupting the tinkling pianos ami wheeling graphophones of \ tho dance-halls nnd saloons. The sound of laughter, clinking glass, and the shullle of heavy feet came up from the basements and echoed from behind swinging doors. The air was thick , Willi Ihe odor of tlie quarter: dirt, Chinatown, am! humanity. | Hut Nicolas Koptolos neither saw nor heard, Hefore him six horses strained ami flashed in the sunlight. Il was (so t|tilet he could hear the beat uf their llylng hooves, as round the long oval Ihey went, thc day's favorite always a little, just a null*, iii advance. Now ibey were half wuy round, Sudd only the third horse gained a lillle; then a Utile more. Now iit was oven with the first. Now n was ahead. Not one of ihe thousands watching dared to breathe, Thus in a perfe.-t silence Firefly covered the lasl lengths, and won it by a ims.-. Tin* at Declmos' door. Luck was his for once. With the second knock a chair grated in the room beyond, footsteps sounded, the door opened, and Declmos stood on the threshold, a sputtering tallow candle in one band. Ten minutes later the door opened again. Koptolos came uut and Declmos followed With a lantern. For a few yards neither spoke. Then as Declmos knelt to untie the rope that fastened his boat to the wharf. Kop tolos broke out, talking rapidly. De clmos went on untying t lie* boat as if he weie alone. "But I tell you," screamed Koptolos at last, "it's as sure as the sun. She can't luse. Can't you believe mc? Would I lie? Do you think I want to lose your money? Just twenty dollars," he went on, a pleading whine creeping into his voice. "It's only till tomorrow night. I'll give It all back and more " Declmos stood up, the loose em! of the rope in his hands. With u voice as cold and Impersonal as lhe light In his bard black eyes, he said, slowly. "I have told you many limes, but I tell you again, to talk thus Is to waste the time. I believe not In your sure tilings, To lend you twenty dollars Is lo give it to you. I have no money io give away- *—" "llul man of God." cried Koptolos. his voice cracking with disappointment and ran;*'. "I swear to you I will give !t •*' "Enough," replied Decimos. "Do you think I am a child? I tell you again; If you have something lhal Is worth twenty dollars, give it to me. and I will lend ymi Die money. If not, then never shall you have one cent"; and for the tlrst time his voice rose angrily, echoing loudly on tlie silent pier. Koplolos' spirit was broken. "Give you something," he echoed, sadly; "In lliis whole damn world I hnve only a wife mid four kids." Declmos stood stock still and looked narrowly al Koptolos. A cunning look flashed for a moment into bis eyes, but Nicolas, gazing out over Hie black waier of the bay, did not see it. De clmos thoughl rapidly. II was i ■ hauce in a hundred.

And half of It was bis, bis. Nicolas Koplolos'. Nleobm sighed a hlg sigh of utter contonlmont. The physical elYoil brought him back to the present. The crowd and the horses and the gold vanished, ami Koptolos awoke lo llm realisation that In this whole wide world he possessed nol live dollars' Worth of salable property. "Nothing, absolutely nothing," ho muttered to himsolf, shrugging his shoulders, hopelessly; "not one thing In this whole damn world bul a wife and four kids." And sllll he sat, thinking, trying tn find a way. Over and over his short list of friends hn wenl. Two or three could havo dono It, but Nicolas knew better than to ask them. Tbey had lent on other sure things. Not things like Firefly, Of course. Firefly simply couldn't lose, while something had gone wrong with1 irlaln. Hut to buy one-twenty dollars was cheap. "Ves." repeated Koptolos, bitterly, as bis gaze came bnck to Declmos, "nothing—In the whole world—but a wife - ami four kids, and (hev won't bring it." "one will," replied Declmos, quietly. Koptolos stared. Then It dawned on lilin thnt Declmos was daring to make fun of bis poverty. "One," he screamed, shaking bis fist in Declmos" face, "I'd glvo fhe lot for twenty " CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Bring Stefano in the morning—your twenty will be ready. It is very simple, that Do " Done," cried Koptolos. The vision of Firefly Mashed before him. Koptolos slept little that -light. About two o'clock the baby awoke, and Mrs. Koptolos, treading softly not to disturb him, began to walk tbe floor With it. Gradually the soft, even tread beat itself into his consciousness to tho words "Firefly—sold him, Firefly—sold him." "Kohl him, sold him." ticked tho alarm-clock, wilh its loud, olllcious tick, like a pompous judge condemning him. "Sure thing, sure thing," buzzed ii big bluebottle fly somewhere In the darkness above him.

No one would ever know of his arrangement with Decimos, Hy live, or by six at the latest, half the fat canvas sack would be bis. Then, If anything was found OUt, ho would give the money back to Declmos, who would bo only too glad to get it. Koptolos swung along cheerfully. A fresh, salty breeze blew from the bay, and the Incoming tide splashed softly against the wharf. Already barefooted buys were busy fishing from the end of tlie pier, and Stefano, his brown eyes wide with admiration, walked backward watching them. Koptolos left him watching and went Into the cabin to see Decimos alone. When he came out. the four gold pieces were jingling In his pocket, and Stefano was still watching the barefooted group. lt war fully nine before Nicolas Koptolos took down the front boards of the stand. Then he dusted the two chairs, polished the cracked brass binding on the single step to the street, stirred up tlie blacking, and began walking up and tlown beforo the stand, waiting for Jackson. A little nfter eleven the thick-set figure turngpl into Kearny street, and once more Koptolos hurried out to meet him. Once more Peter Jackson went off down Kearny street whistling merrily. Slowly the afternoon dragged itself ont. One o'clock, and the odor of frying meat and boiling coffee from the chop-houses and lunch-counters began to wear away. By two every seat in the sunny plaza below was filled, every inch on the warm stone coping wus taken. Doting Chinese grandfathers walked slowly up and down In tho sun. marvellous little bundles of color toddling beside them. By three Nicolas knew ihat the races were well under way. Soon il would be Firefly's turn. Three-thirty— perhaps she wns running now. Four—it was over. Jackson had swept the gold pieces into thc little canvas sack. There tliey were safe ln his pocket. Four-thirty—the races were ovor. The crowds were cum ing back, lu a few minutes the boys would begin their sharp staccato calls: "Post. Bulletin, latest edition evening papers." No, he wouldn't buy one. He would wait till Jackson came. ll could only be a few minutes now. And so he wailed. Six. The cars crawled by, crowded lo the lowest step with laborers bound for tlieir homes hi North Beach. Seven, Half-past.

Once he came to the jloor and started to cross, but changed bis mind and went back. Nine. At lasl Koptolos understood. A sure thing!

During the reign of Alexander ]., from 1801-1825, the Ilrst steps toward emancipation of the Jews were taken by affording ihem educational opportunities. Alexander 1. directed tlie minister ot education to draw a plan for promoting education among tlie Jews. When the said minister remarked that such a plan might prove a costly one to the Government of Russia Alexander replied, "if their means should produce one Mendelssohn the expense would be justified." Nicholas 1„ known as the enemy of the Jews, nevertheless officially encouraged them to take up agriculture, Jewish farmers-were, for a certain period, to be exempt fronvnllltary service and taxation in land. Jews wishing to enter the field of agriculture in Russia were practically to enjoy equal rights. During the early part of the reign of Alexander li.. when the serfs were emancipated, it looked us if freedom would be granted to the Jews of Russia as well. Kostrietionnry laws concerning the "Pale of Settlement" were not enforced and schools were practically opened to the Jews. Such was the uncertain status of the Jews for a period of about eighty years, ending In 1SS1 with the assassination of Alexander II. During the quarter of a century that followed this period the condition of the Jews In Russia changed for lhe worst'. 1'ogroms and riots took place. The well-known May laws were enacted and enforced.

Tlie postofflce department has decided to improve tlle rural mail delivery service of Canada within the next few months to the extent of granting fanners all the facilities for transacting general postofflce business. When the carrier drives up to the mail box in front of tne fanner's home, he will bis prepared to sell stamps, issue postal notes or money orders and to except letters for registration.

HOT BATHS FOR PLANTS The majorily of lives an- subject to periods ,.f rest, wlu-n their vegetation seems In he suspended. Muring such periods their branches cease to grow, and the buds formed remain unchanged In appearance until the plants recover from tlieir torpor In the springtime; lirst, because tiie outer conditions are not such as they need for their development; secondly, because chemical changes are produced in them during the resting-lime. Tlie chemical changes are Indispensable; should they fail to take pluee, not even the must favorable conditions could open buds. Tlie plant sel in a hothouse just after Its leaves have fallen, und when Its suit is still full of life, does not produce new leaves. Uul if the same experiment Is made a lew months later new buds are formed as lu lhe full time of vigor. Tills is because ibe plant has rested and, during its rest, received the elements of a new growth Tho pianl musi resl; bul there are means for abridging its period of repose and for hastening the Internal work nf iis chemical modification. The h.st known mentis is etherization, which consists In forcing the growth in iho vapor of ether or chloroform during from twenty-four to forty- eight hours. A plain taken irom iis bath of ether vapor and put in a hothouse begins lo develop nt once. \ botanist ol tho University ..r Prague uses another oltlcnelous means to force bis plains.

" With the Horses A great deal has been said nnd written concerning humane treatment of dumb animals, especintljr1 the horse. Societies have been formed for prevention of cruelty to dumb animals, and olher organized campaigns conducted for the same purpose. These efforts have accomplished much to prevent heating und starvation, and (he use of decrepit and lame animals, but there are yet localities where much can he accomplished along Ihls line. There are otber abuses of horses besides beatings and starvation thnt need attention. Conditions have so chnnged ln the lust quarter century thnt the type of horse lias materially changed. The transformation of the mud roads Into solid, smooth macadam pikes has caused the slow, steady driving horse to he replaced by the high-stopping, high- spirited, fast roud horse, that is the pride of the young man and his father alike. The farm horse of a *iunrter of a century ago was light ln weight and low bred as compared with thc present-day farm horse. This light, lowbred fnrm horse hnd stumps, stones, and tough sod to pull against In the field, and the tough mini when hauling loads to market. He necessurlly wns slow nml Sluggish] he couldn't be otherwise. Several Improvements In farms, by removal of stones and slumps nnd nse of tlle ditches, together with the Increased weight of farm horses, has demanded a more active, hlgh-splrlled horse. The large draft horse of today must show plenty of knee and hock action, u fast walk and plenty of life, if he catches lhe eye of the farmer. Men huve learned by experience that they cannot heat this high hred horse ns they did bis ancestors. His high spirit resenls li. Cool business calculation teaches that there is no money In starving a horse. ToKcther wllh the arousing of public sentiment, the evolution of the horse hus caused n great decrease in the old-lime cruelty, This does not neeensnrlly mean that cruelty hns coasedi hut ihat tho nnture of cruelty has changed as the disposition of the horse has changed, It Ih a very common thing lo nee n man driving a horse nlong lhe road at lis highest speed, kept up by a continuous twitching of the rein or tnp- plng of (he whip or both; when he stop**, he slops (be horse suddenly, nnd stnrls with a full hurst nf speed.

Doctors Condemn Oily Liniments Public Aro Warned AgainBt Strong- Smelling, Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids and Ammonia .Many people have clung to the old- fashioned idea that a thick, greasy liniment is the best kind. Doctors say not -and Ihey know. Raouritiy a number of these white, oily liniments were analyzed, and they were found to contain an enormously high percentage of harmful acids, and such irritating chemicals us ammonia, etc, For lhe moment they may cause a warm sensation when first applied, imt their continued use never cures rheumatism, and only deteriorates the skin, sets up inllammation, and causes endless trouble. When a doctor warns you to quit using a white, oily lininv-nt—do so. He knows that a thick liniment can't penetrate, enn't sink through the pores and reach the scat of the pain. When asked his opinion a few days ago an Important physician slated that he considered a strong, penetrating, pain-subduing liniment, such us "Nerviline." to be superior to any of the white ammonia liniments. in his twenty-five years of practice ho had witnessed cases of rheumiiiisni. sciatica, and lumbago that simply would not respond to ordinary treat- same physician also spoke nf the grenl ment- hui Nerviline cured them.

It has nol been (hi* number of miles such a horse has gone, nor the number of beatings, nor starvation, but the continual "nagging" that limited his usefulness to two years. The club bruised a small area of llesh and Irritated a few nerves, but scarcely ormised the Qlugglsh brain, Nagging throws the whole nervous system out of normal, arouses a sensitive brain and starts thc blood flowing at fever heat. Such a horso truly Is on his nerve. He uses tils nervous energy at a rapid rate and hence his quick decline. He ages rapidly. Rheumatism, stiffened muscles and indigestion result from such a strain upon the nervous system. When -i horse is kept up to his highest pitch, with his nerves on a continual strain. It Is* nothing less than (orture und torture of the worst kind. The more spirited the horse the greater becomes the torture. A small spot constuntly irritated on a nervous horse Is often the source of more annoyance thun a large running sore would be* to a horse of less sensibility. Many people allow their horses to become i.l.stin;it.- und balk or have sume sort of mad tantrum. This Is Just about as excusable In a horse as lt Is in a child. When a man hns his horse under control, nt* he should, he can prevent all that wear and tear on his nerves and snve the horse the suffering It endures. Talk ubout a horse missing a few feeds, or a few drinks of water but thut sort of suffering does not compare to lieing "nagged" from morning Illl nighl with a clumsy, careless driver, or irritated by harness, or helm; In a mud lit for a half day at a time. Tlie lies-her Iln* breeding, the more hlgh-splrlted, alert, proud horse we develop, the greater becomes the necessity fm* us to recognise that the form of cruelly may be shifted from tin* outward and physical to the nerves of a horse.

This membrane is actually tbc skin of embryonic chickens and contains cells similar to those of human sklu. When placed on n burned surface the celts multiply and lhe membrane spreads until eventually il Joins Ihe undeslroyed surface and replaces the burned urea. Dr. Staller tried his first experiment (tn u woman suffering from severe; burns on the upper part of the body. No one could lie found at the moment willing to part with enough skin for grafting purposes, and so Dr. Staller procured several dozen fresh e^gs, cut the membrane into small pieces and applied them in the usual way. Tho experiment wus completely successful. The new skin uppears to be finer than the human skin, imt strong and healthy. Perhaps Dr. Staller hus dune more than he supposes. If thc new skin is actually finer than tho old there may be a chance for ladies who are in quest of beauty to repair the ravages of time by an entirely new skin of tho chicken variety.

Ronton. N.U., April 8.—(Speclul.)— Bordering on the miraculous is the cure of John McBlroy. a young man well known here. He wus suffering from heart trouble and wus so bad that all last summer he was not able to do a day's work. Dodd's Kidney fills cured him. In telling the story of his cure, Mr. McBlroy says: "I went to a doctor who said I had palpitation, bul his medicine did nol seem to reach the spot. 1 suffered for over u year ami nil Inst summer 1 was not able lo do n day's work. My sleep was broken and unrefreshlnu. 1 felt heavy and Sleepy nfter meals ami I was always tired and nervous. I perspired freely with th*- least exertion, "After I had finished taking the doctor's medicine, and as I fell no better. I read In an almanac what Dodd's Kidney l'ills could do and made up my mini) to try them. Before 1 hud finished the first box I felt different, uml by the time the second was half gone I was working In lhe woods uml dolns good work."

GOLD DEPOSITS A new theory covering the formation uf ih-posits of gold supposes that certain regions under similar geological conditions owe their endowment to the greater or less activity of the erosions whhh have reached the deeper strata tif the terrestrial crust. Similarities In type of deposits of metul are found in regions where geological conditions are the same. It Is not by chance that certain re-, glons ure exceptionally rich in gold, "lends" while in other regions no "leads" c.*m be found, Without funnels, coal, firemen, und smoke, the forerunner of the new steamship has arrived.

The Manitoba Gypsum Co., Ltd. WINNIPEG, MAN. nr. CHILLIWACK FREE PRESS )ly Framed for the Ninth By will H. Oi Mute Jlegurty, retired heavyweight champion, was not so called because lie was deaf and dumb, but because of his almost invulnerable taciturnity. The fact of the mutter was, Mule stammered when be essayed even monosyllabic speech and being keenly sensitive uboul his vocal eccentricities, talked only at the prompting of necessity. Thousands hud a bowing acquaintance with him. liis speaking friendship was limited lo his old manager, "Ace" McCartney, and the members of his own family. When ho uttered more thun half a dozen words at a time he was on a conversational debauch. Uut if Mute did not talk, lhe same wasn'l true of his money, which was loquacious enough in sun even a hotel proprietor. To Mr. llogarty spending money was a business in which long experience Inn) rendered him thoroughly proficient, lie was forever malting several varieties ui' a picturesque Idlol uf himsolf. And ye| his silences wen- sometimes mure informing than nrt- other man's conversation, Mllle louk llltu teliretilelil Willi him i fortune variously ostium ted ,ii from $800)ooo tn $400,000 nnd tho reputation <>r boing ih<* undefeated champion ul the world.

Of such sum he Would "sunk" n third and •■blow" ihe remainder, hoodlo-s of the scriptural Inl itloli "Lol him lhat standoth lake hood losl he fall." Ill llie ring Mule was novor known to full; but bis falls from grace and the wator wagon occurred wllh painful froquoncy. However, ill Spile uf his spendthrill ways, be possessed a goodly slock of Hum excellent commodity known as common sense, iind had just enough sentlmonl In him to koop him on Ihe Bunnlor side of cynicism. Me understood that ibut pari of lhe populace ihat follows with on) inleicsi the doubtful fortunes of the prize ring would easily adjust Itself to the presence of a new champion, and he hail no Idea of lieing the pitcher tbut was carried io the well mice loo often, The world was full nf broken and battered idols of the squared circle, with hardly miic of their former admirers in do ihem honor; they were as common a sight as pink giraffes iu delirium tremens. Viewing a similar conclusion to bis own career with extreme disfavor. Mute Hegarty grabbed his money und Lacked into retirement, Four years of idleness, reinforced by a keen appetite for very liest of good things of life, brought the great Heg- arty to a realization that no fortune is too large lo spend, and lhat a man without un income has no license for believing that a few hundred thousand will see him through Folly's realm to comfortable old age. So on*- tine day he received a statement from his bunkers that was amazing; nnd mnde him doleful and blasphemous. ilis fast dwindling fortune had shrunk to a hare $-.000 and his days as a luxurious liver were at un end. He stood Btaring ut the statement that brought him lo the brink of bankruptcy with an expression uf absolute and paralyzed incredulity. "H-h-h-hellt" he gasped, and dropped Into a chair witli an by moisture beading Ids brow. That he was called the undefeated champion was n treus- urable compliment; he bad never meant to jeopardise the title; but he hnd reached thc frayed end of his tether. Me Would huve to lighl again; and be had un uncomfortable sense thnt he could nol gel another battle unless he agreed to lose. Mule walked his apartment ln the St. Regal with thoughtful mien, as one reviewing nnd arranging a confused mass of facts. He hud the burgundy complexion uf a bon vlvant. a special detestation for exercise und nn unshakable feeling uf apprehension. On the verge of succumbing to complete menial panic he telegraphed for Aee McCartney! who appeared upon ihe scene within the hour. McCartney wns reluctantly eager to renssume lhe position of devoted adviser io Mr. Hegarty, not fur personal guln, hul for the sake of auld long syne. He wus durk, ful, podgy, affable und self-contained. ills voice was pleasant and distinct, and the style and texture of his clothing stamped him us something of a swell. Mute, red from chin to ears, slmn- mered forth his story. "And," he wound up with u rush, "w-w-wlUi you t-t-to hel-lielp m-m- me. 1-1-1 k-k-kin lick "em nw-nw-ull." When Ace McCartney spoke It was as an elder nilght speak to n child Instructively, wilh a hint, indeed, of authority. "You're very bud. Mute." he said. "and you couldn't light a preliminary right now. It'll take some time to pul you fn anything like decent condition. What did you do with all your money?" Instead of trying lo put u gloss upon the matter, Mule became satirical. He hud earned all the money he bnd taken with him Into the semi-obscurity of Ills retirement, he declared, nnd he went on to state thnt he had spent il like a white mnn iiinr.i sport. Snre. he was broke perilously near II, anyhow. He couldn't live on u couple of bucks a week, he couldn't, aud he couldn't muke more money without using his fists; he hadn't discovered the secret of tbe truusmulutloii of metals; he hadn't developed a formula for extruding gold from sen water; nor hnd be been exploring the wreck of u sunken Spanish galleon, Aee McCartney looked at blm with ihnt air of patient fortitude thut comes to us all so easily when we contemplate Ihe misfortunes of others. As he spoke he wus smiling with the ironic deference of an assured superiority. "Busy, old boss," he soothed. "You know there is only one big fight left for you. Tho public knows you enn't live the way you have been living nnd fight. But they'll believe there Is one more winning battle In you. Aspiring -■humps nre rnre, but you can get on one good one for a mess of money. You ! prefer money lo glory now, eh, Mule'.'" The champion looked up ut bis manager out of bleared vacuous eyes. "W-whn-butcher mean?" "1 mean you'd rather lose for n hun- | dred thousand than win for half lhal amount," said McCartney, watching his j man purringly, -contentedly, like a i magician sure ni" his trick. j Mute Hegarty mused a little while in silence, it stirred his soul to mutiny in havo another read his mind 1 with such prodigious cast-, but It wus true, ll" had ono more championship light in blm no more- and lie needed i the money.

A FIRfe-KILLING FOAM There ure no llres more disastrous than those in which petroleum mineral essences, heil/oill, etc,, pluy u purl, oil account or the dlfllculty of gottlng them under conlrol. No really efficacious method has ever been put lulo use tu extinguish llres of hydro-carbonic origin, Wuter is utterly usoIobb, Dangor may Ik* al limes reduced lo a minimum by preventing contact of air with tho flame, choking ii botwoen blankets, mats, damp cloth, earth, or sum), but tbls is hy no means always sufficient, l-'or this reason Bolentlsts arc Interested lu slme experiments made recently in German laboratories bearing on the possibility of controlling tires of varying chemical origin. It is said that if n stated quantity uf caustic soda solution lie mixed with an equal quantity of alum It forms u dough—or mortar —fifteen times as great as the original single quantities, This dough Is very light and foamy. If this substance be thing over the petroleum, etc., and the entrance of air Impeded, the fire will at once be put out. An experiment was lately tried In Germany to establish these facts beyond question. An Improvised fire extending over four cubic millimeters was extinguished in less thnn two minutes by an eighty per cent, solution of the above-named substance. THE STEAM OF THE EARTH If dry earth Is wet suddenly the heat emitted is due chiefly to the affinity of putter's clay und humus for water. Thai affinity is so powerful that the two substances release twenty and thirty calories per every two kilograms. THE ELEPHANT SEAL One of the noteworthy results of a recent expedition on Ihe government steamer "Albatross," was lhe discovery of a hand of elephant seals. The expedition was commanded by Dr. Charles H. Townsend, director of the Xew York Aquarium, and wns sent out under the auspices of the New York Zoological Society und tbe Museum of Natural History, New York. The ani- mnls were found on the uninhabited Island of Guadeloupe, 250 miles off the coast of Sun Diego. The pnrty captured alive six baby elephant seals, which were sent to the New York Aquarium, where they nre attracting great attention. Four skins of large adult mules were obtained, over sixteen feet long, for a museum group. The maximum length of the adult male is 22 feet. The femnle. which Is smaller, lucks a proboscis. The short proboscis, or "trunk," has the nostril openings at the end and can be ex- pnnded and contracted ut will. The mule elephant seals tight desperately, us the scars on their necks und breasts bear evidence. They have formidable teeth and send forth guttural roars which can he heard at a considerable distance. Unlike the fur seal the elephant seal Is a wonderful oil-producing animal, having a deep layer of blubber six or seven Inches thick; the oil Is even superior to whale oil. Fifty yeurs ago, elephant seals were abundant, but owing to their wholesale slaughter to obtain the valuable oil for commercial purposes by the sealers, the species Is now approaching extinction. MAHOGANY IN FURNITURE It is interesting to note that more than twenty mahogany-like woods nre now offered ns true mahogany, not to mention a considerable number of woods cunningly stained to Imitate that wood. In the present circumstances, therefore, when the demand for mahogany is greater thnn the supply, unusual interesl attaches to such woods as Carinlana or Colombian mahogany, which is acknowledged not to be mahogany, hut which is so similar to It In color, grain effects and working qualities as to serve for the rarer wood. The statement Is made thnt while Carinlana differs widely in its uotnni- cnl and nnntomlcnl •characters from true mahogany, Its close superficial resemblance to mahogany am) its physical properties at once distinguish It us u high class cabinet wood. When properly seasoned It does not warp, check or shrink, while much of the lumber is beautifully figured, It works well, lakes a filler rendily. und can be highly polished, THE NIGHT CLERK'S JOB "Sometimes the night clerk's job has its drawbacks." remarked the tall, thin mun behind thc desk nt the hotel. "These weird tales that guests will tell In the still night"—he went on, "they're one thing thnt makes a fellow wish there Were more people around. "One night, about two o'clock, a guest cume up to the desk and spent nu hour telling me enrnestly nbout the black cat that had been sitting on the fool of his bed. As he talked I noticed the fellow hnd a queer look In his eye.

"Four 'lays after that 1 heard that my visitor had been taken over to tlie hospital wilh a had case of It T.'s, and had passi'd on. He was calm enough when he was tolling me a!mut the things he was seeing, but it wa.su t a ch«ery line of talk to listen to. "Of course, these things don't happen so often around a hotel, but when anybody does see things—robin eggs, blue buffaloes, purple giraffes, or anything, the night clerk's the man thai has to hear all about 'em."

"Mme. la Marquise has sent me to say that she would be ex; remedy pleased if Monsieur le MartfU-fl' picture was hung on the line." he explained. "Very well, my man. that's understood." And when the rlunky had left, the artist turned to the young painters there and said: "If in return for three lunches those people v mr the line, next year they will ,i_k for i gold medal." And that picture was refused. A SLEEPING FISH Some curious habits in a fiah have been observed by the French zoologist. 13. Romeis. The fish In question, which bears the name Paratilapia multicolor, was kept in an aquarium containing suitable seaweed, und observed through several seasons. The female fish places the e*ggs in pockets in her mouth, and keeps them there until they hatch. After hatching, the fry is thrown out into the water in the morning, but toward evening the young fish come back to the mother's mouth. Inside of which they spend the night. A resting condition resembling sleep wns also observed. Ordinarily these fish rest near the bottom of the water. But nfter the eggs are laid the female seeks the surface of the water, so that at times her back fins were actually out in the oir. When at the surface, she pressed her side tins close against the body, nnd remained quite motionless for ns much as two hours at a stretch. With the exception of very slight movements of the gill covers. there wns nothing to Indicate that the animal was still alive. Dr. Romeis supposes that the advantage In this habit lies in the fact that the female having eaten no food for a long time (during the breeding seasoni nnil being obliged to economize the reserve fnts In her body, avoids motion ns much as possible. Floating near the surface is perhaps connected with the fact that here the fish enn pet sufficient oxygen with the least amount of exercise. FOR BONE-SETTERS A recently invented aluminum apparatus mnkes the most minuto details of a fracture distinctly visible. Aluminum is no more an obstacle to the X-ravs than clear glass is to the sight. As the metal is transparent to the ravs the operating surgeon enn examine the fracture without haste or difficulty, closing his apparatus only when every fragment has been put in place.
