The far West seems already tolerably
well supplied with means of livelihood
for the scores of millions that will soon
dwell there, but new one has recently
been mentioned in the California Acad-
emy of Science. The gum which ex-
udes from the creosote plant is known
to commerce as shellac,, from which are
made sealing wax, varnish, and the
scarlet lac dye used for dyeing the Brit
ish red military coats. The plant is as
plenty as sage brush, from Southern
Utah to New Mexico, and from the
Colorado desert to Western Texas, but
chiefly plenty on the Mojave and Colo
RADIO deserts. Calcutta exports $5, 5,OOO,-
600 worth of shellac year, which
brings from twenty-five to thirty-ive
cents pound, and almost as much of
lac dye, selling still higher. The
United States have imported in some
years 100000 pounds of shellac alone
Yet it is all over lie West, and can be
so easily collected that boys could carry
on the business of gathering it. Proba-
bly, this product will now receive atten-
tion in commerce.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Cetywayo, the dethroned Zulu mon
arch, according to South A frica paper,
is engaged in making mental notes. He
has calculated that each charge fired by
the foreign men-of-war in Table bay In
saluting the fort was of the value OF an
OK. He also concludes that it is more
expensive to keep up armaments in
Europe than in Zululand. His majesty
also regards the queens conduct in not
answering his message of contrition as
showing a great lack of courtesy.
The island of Rotumah, which has
been Professionally annexed to the Brit
ish empire at the request of deputation
of the two hostile factions which inhabit
1t, is situated little to the north and
east of the Figi archipelago, and was
discovered by Captain Edwards during
his search for the mutineers of the
Bounty in l79l. The island is only five
miles long and half as wide, but 1t has
numerous population, the shore being
covered with villages, which touch and
join one another. The soil is very fer
tile, and vessels often stop at the island
for supplies, while the inhabitants make
good sailors.

The sum realized from the recent sale
Of the Demidoff paintings in Florence
(S537, 1859 is very large, but it has been
excelled at least once and approached
several times. The elliott collection of
525 pictures brought $S06,O5O in 1872;
Mr.. Albert Grant sold his 2O5 pictures
for $500. 6S4; in 1875, Mr.. Mendels
Manley Hall collection of 445 pictures
sold for $499,sOO. and twenty years
earlier, Lord Northwick's ,SSl pictures
brought him $488, 1913 in cash. With
out making the statement too positively,
it is probable that the largest sum ever
actually paid for any single canvas was
$ll9, ,544, the picture being Murillo's
Conception of the Virgin" which
was bought for the Louvre at Paris, at
the sale of Marshal Soult's collection in
1859. And possibly 100000 is the
largest sum ever received for single

this case being "lSO7," the painter

He rushed forward, but before hs could

with the knife, this time entering Travis

Dillon over him. Officer Black grabbed
Dillon and took the knife from him.

The Princess was dressed In Q suit OF

Bsnnock war. and said that. though q

Indians were afraid to travel. She
exhibited pieces Of tapestry made by her

the Indians believe In q future life. and
that all human beings have souls. They
do not believe in punishment after death,
nor in a God or Great Spirit, butin q Great
Father-the first man-who created all
things. Thoy believe him to be too
kind and good to allow his children to
be punished after death. Indian dying
scenes are very solemn. The tribe

not know whether the Christian religion

attributed the Pyramid Lake war oil

the Pluto bucks with that Of the whits
men, greatly to the disadvantage OF the
whites. She spoke about the Truckee
reservation. which has been in exist.
