COLD FEET.

Says the Lopdon Lancet:sff '.-.a5
1t Is, as we have often blaboretl to
show, a mistake to auppose THERE Is any
warmth in clothes. Animal heat is
the direct result of changes going on
within the body itself. Nutrition by
food and the discharges of energy by
exercise are the Efficient causes of heat.
Clothes ssseein" good and warm be-
cause they prevent the cold airsand
objects with u capacity for heat which
surround the body from attracting the
heat generated within its organism.
The clothing Is simply and linsulator.
1t follows that it should be light in
weight, and above all things. that it
should permit the fr ee and full circula-
ton of blood through every part of the
systemic the end of every finger and
toe-and that the muscular apparatus
Of the extremities should be in perfect
working order. IF we will wear foot
coverings, whether boots or stock ings,
which compress the feet and render tho
separate action OF eaci, toe impossible,
it is simply absurd to expect to be
WarmsfDotetl. Heat is the com plement
of work and nutrition, and if a part OF
the organism is SO bound that II can
not work, and its supply of food is
limited, it must be cold. The resort to
stouter and heavier clothing is simply
ridiculous. Generally it is the stock.
ings that compress the feet. The gar.
ter acts as a tigature. and diminishes
the blood supply, while the stocking
itself acts as q bandage, and impedes
the circulation through tho extremities.

THE FIRST OCEAN, STEAMER
UNDER THE ST4RS AND
STRIPES

1t was stated few days ago by a
prominent speaker, and generally be-
lieved and copied through the press,
that a Cunard steamer, under the
British flag, was the first to cross the
Atlantic. But no patriot should fail,
in this way, to give his country the
glory that is her due. The steamship
Savannah, under command Of Capt.
Moses Rogers, sailed from New York
for Savannah, March 28, 1910, and
thence to England, Denmark, up the
Baltic TO the port of St. Petersburg,
and back again to America. The Sa-
vannah was built for a wealthy mer-
chant of Savannah, Ga, VIM. Scar
borough, in 1913, and launched on
the 22d day of August. Francis
Picket was the builder, and Stephen
Vail, a founder, put up the engines
and boilers. She carried IS tons of
coal upon this voyage and IS cords OF
wood, but could neither get passen-
gers nor ,rpoand of freight, though
she Vas Nll advertised, and though
President Monroe and a large suite
had been carried upon a delightful!
excursion gratis, and spoke highly of
her. She made the trip from savan-
nah to Liverpool in .22 days, and
there she was boarded by tile harbor
fire department, who thought one of
her masts was Oh fire. When they
discovered their mistake, they were
not, after all, ready to let the steamer
alone, but for a long time held her
under suspicion and the grave charge
Of being an internal machine, prepar-
ed to accomplish the escape of Napo-
doleon from St. Ha,ena. When at
last she reached America again, she
was taken to Washington and dis
mantled, or disgorgedj for lack of
popularity. The engines were taken
out and she was run as a packet from
New York to Savannah until she was
wrecked on the south shore of Long
Island. An interesting account of
this voyage is given in the Granite
MouAN of June, 1SS1-Bostou Adaes-
Hser.

PRECIOUS METALS.
The CunniSea Country UnexanpIed III Rich-
ness Of Mines.

MIR. E. ]. Farmer, Of this city, has
jusNeturned from Gunnison county,
Colo, bringing with him large col
lection of silver and gold ores from
that rich mineral region. He was yes
terday interviewed by our reporter,
with good results. Few in this part
Of the country understand the extreme
richness Of the state of Colorado in
mineral resources. In various por-
tions of the state, gold. silver, iron,
and coal mines have been developed
with astonishing richness of yield !;
but one. large tract, known as the
Gunnson country, has surpassed in
quantity and quality of precious
metal, any locality ever worked. This
area, comprising several hundred
square miles, was three years ago the
hunting ground of Indians, and at
that time luckily a small body of
courageous men dared to brave the
dangers incident to the locality, and
they discovered mineral yields that
amazed them for the richness and per
centage of assay. As soon as the news
spread over the adjacent territory, a
perfect Juror seized the people, and
By the thousand they gathered into
the new Eidorado, until now the pop
ulation numbers not less than Is, 900
people Railroads have within a
short time been built into the heaft of
the territory, to take the place of the
old stage lines, which two years ago
furnished the only means Of transpor-
tation.
The peculiarly Of the veins is that
they exist in almost unlimited hssures,
extending for great distances into the
bowels of the earth. contrasting with
the Leadyille ore deposits, in that the
latter consist almost exclusively of
what are called pockets" i" These
are holiow5 very much like huge
bowls, flied with tie ore, and are
readily exhausted while the Gunni-
son veins seem to be unlimited in ex-
tent. 1t is a lamentablc fact that
Cleveland capital is very l..eagerly
represented there, Chicago and New
York capitalists monopoIlzing the ma
jority Of the claims.
Mr.. E. ]. Farmer says that but two
Cleveland capitalists besides himself
have any moneyed interest there
Through the courtesy Of MIR. Farmer
the reporter was given an opportunity
to examine some OF a large number Of
specimens from that country, and an
/ Interesting study indeed was afforded
by the examination. 1t has been
strongly asserted. BY professors Of

A Scotch clergyman by the name
of Watty Morrison entreated an off
Ger to parden poor soldier for some
offence he had committed. The off
Ger agreed to do so if he would, in
turn, grant him the first favor he
should ask. Mr.. Morrison agreed to
this. In day or two the officer de-
manded that the ceremony OF baptism
be performed on. puppy. The
clergyman agreed to it; and a party
OF many gentlemen assembled to wit
ness the novel baptism. The parson
desired the officer to. hold up the
puppy, as was customary in the bap-
tism of children, and said: "As
am minister Of the church of Scot
land, | must proceed according to the
ceremonies of the church. Well, then,
Major, l begin with the usual -ques-
ton: You acknowledge yourself the
father of this puppy p A roa< Of
laughter burst from the crowd; the

Il GLIMPSE.

Some idea or me extent OF the IT,
ture magnitude of our mining interest
may be obtained from a contempla-
ton Of the fact that more than halt OF
the territory of the United States, OF
over z 900, 900 square miles, is min
eral land, producing gold and silver,
OF this vast tract of mineral bearing
territory. less than one per cent has
been mined That is to say, that the
entire amount of gold and silver cred
tied to the mines OF the United States
has been taken from less than QUE per
cent of its mineral territory, and this
by the crudcst methods, and under the
most disadyantagcous circumstances.
With the increased facilities of trans
Portation, the improved metheas of
mining, treating and saving mineral
products, there must be a marked i'm
provement in mining operations of
the future, and better results than
have hitherto ever been attained. In
such broad field, with such almost
infinite resources, with grand, and
magnificent outlook, the wealth and
influence of an industry possessed of
such forces cannot be measured by the
vision Of to-day. A glance at what
future developments may bring forth
may serve to show upon what solid
foundations the prosperity Of this
country is based, when our people
turn 70 our own resources instead Of
asking for costly aid from abroad in
time of necesslty.-Aieag1 dltai4g

The churches are still at it reading
out and wedding out the heretics from
their pulpits. There is nearly always
some case in hand Of thinker who has
dared to look above the heads Of his
congregation and to leap over the stake
and-rider fence of creed and dogma IN
e tho fresler pastures Of thought. The
lstsst case reported is that Of DIR. My
ron Adams, pastor of Plymouth Church
(Congregational), Of Rochester New
York. He began to preach against the
doctrine of eternal punishment, and the
orthodox Ontario Association is about
70 .lire him out" Most.of his.congre-
CATION believe he has been telling the
truth, and as body stand by their
pastor, % It is likely they will be fell
lowshipped with him, but propose to
hold to their church property in any
event. The Adamses seem to be
troublesome to the true believers.
Only last summer Rev. E. P. Adams,
brother Of Myron, was deposed from
the Presbyterian ministry At Dunkirk
for tho like heresy. It appears that
the two reverend brothers had con-
suleation, . comparison Of religious
views. and an understanding before
they began to preach the new doctrines
which their churches cannot indorse,
asd they both managed to take their
congregations with them very clev-
esly.-Repssbljcan.
