Tho Oldest sIIne in the United States Il

The first recorded account Of the discovery
OF coal in the e'United States is contained in
Hennepin's narrative Of his explorations in
the west between 1913 and 1850, when he saw
the coal outcrop on the bluffs of the Illinois
river, not far from Ottawa and La Sale. In
New Mexico and Arizona there are silver
mines which were operated by the Toltecs
and Aztecs years before the Spanish invasion.
So there are copper mines in the Lake Su-
perior region in which the tools and mining
marks of ancient miners of prehistoric times
were found by the pioneers of the present
American mining companies Where the
first colonists of Virginia got the ship load of
''fooPs gold" which they sent back to Eng
land, to the great disgust of the London COM
pany, is not certainly known; but it is known
that at the same time, in 1903, they shipped
quantity of iron from jamestown which
yielded seventeen tons of metal-the first pig
iron ever made from American ora
In North and South Caroline and Georgia
there are diggings, now ovefgrown with
forests, which are supposed to have been ex-
cavated by the followers Of De Soto and his
immediate successors between 1859 and 1000
The oldest mining enterprise in the United
States, still active, is generally conceded to
be the mine La Motto, in the lead district of

Ark of the Covenant,

Previous to the, destruction of the Temple
of Solomon by the Babylonians the Ark of
the Covenant was contained therein, but what
became of it after that time is unknown It
is believed by some TO have been taken away
or destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, while cer-
tain of the Jews believe that it was concealed
from the spoilers, and account it among the
hidden things which will be revealed by the
Messiah. That the old Ark was not contained
i'll the second Temple all Jewish writers agree,
and the absence OF the Ark is one Of the inn
portant particulars in which this Temple was
held TO be inferior to that of Solomon 1t is
held by some writers, however, that the Jews
could not properly carry on their worship
without an Ark, hence that new one must
have been made and placed in the Temple if
the original Ark was not recovered The
silence of Ezra, Nehemiah, the Maccabees and
Josephus, who repeatedly mention all the
other sacred utensils but never name the Ark,
would. nevertheless. seem conclusive on this
subject.

LABOR TRoUBLEAr FORT SHERIDAN.

LABOR ROUBLt Al FOR S1EHlDHN
CHICAGO, H., Feb. 25-Work on the
sixty or more buildings at Fort Sheridan
the new military post near this city, as far
as the brickiaying is concerned at least
has been stopped and it is not known how
soon it will be resumed. The bricklayers
are locked out. Their side of the story is
to this effect: The original contractors
failed and the bondsmen hired James Con-
nelly, master builder, to go on with
the work, under contract. giving
percentage. a few days ago Connelly's
services were dispensed with and John
Jeffrey was given charge of the work and
be discharged the bricklayers. The latter
claim that Jeffrey was imported from
Scotland under contract in Defiance of the
Law. They say they propose to take action
under that law and to prevent union
bricklayers from doing any work on the
buildings while he is in charge Jeffrey
says he has been in Chicago five years and
voted at the last election. He adds: "The
whole truth is that the men thought it WAS
a government job and they could make it
last longer. The bricklaying was costing
us SO per thousand to lay, while it shoulI
have cost about S4.75 per thousand. 1t
became necessary therefore to discharge
these men, and the contractors ordered me
to discharge them"

sayings of the late Jonas Hill, of Fayette
He had a peculiar way of speaking, which
those who heard him will never forget, but
his pronunciation can hardly be represented
in print. lie was at one time suitor for the
hand Of young lady whose parents did not
favor him. Her father did not think that
the social standing of Jonas was such as to
render him fit match for his daughter, but
he told the young man that if he would bring
him high toned references he would consider
his claim. Jonas said nothing, but felt in
dignant and resolved to have his revenge. So
he procured the best of recommendations as
to his character and standing in society The
old man examined the credentials and was
satisfied. Gan right" said he. You are
welcome. Walk into my parlor, and your

4 Kansas Granger's Disheartenins Expe-
rience with Cipher Dispatches.

4 Kansas Granger's Disheartenins Expe-
rience with Cipher Dispatches.
To prevent mistakes in transmitting the
grain and commission men have a well es-
tablshed cipher in which words that are not
liable to be mistaken by the telegraph opera
tor are used in place of the quotation figures.
Some OF the Kansas City firms use the
cipher in corresponding with their out OF
town customers and others do not, as the
general run of customers are not familiar
with the cipher.
A Kansas man was in Kansas City last
year and made large purchase of wheat
with leading commission house on a per
cent. margin. He requested the firm to tele-
graph him the quotations next day, and
clerk Of the firm was instructed TO present
him with cipher key, but neglected TO do so.
The Kansas man now tells the story of his
speculation with great gusto.
The next morning he received q telegram:
'Opened, disgust"
He was somewhat surprised, and failed to
make any sense out of the message. A little
later he received another message.
''Disgusted"
He did not know what it meant, but it YVES
signed. So he telegraphed back to the COM
HiSsioH HI!N:
$50 am l."
A little later came telegram:
''Disgusting."
By this time he was getting mad, and sent
back another message:
81 should say it was disgusting. What do
ou-mean"
Before he had fairly got his answer on the
wires there came another message:
''Dsheartened."
So was the Kansas man; so he waited and
did not answer. But when another message
came in Dishonest" he sent back word:
Il won't dispute it, and / think you are
crazy also. Sell all my wheat at once"
A little later he received a message:
"Soid just in time. Now disgorge."
To say that the Kansas man was mad
would be putting it mildly. He took the
train that night for Kansas City to see what
it meant, and when lie found cut he treated
all around.
Disgust translated is 9994 cents; disguised,
G93s cents; disgusting, 100 cents; dishearten
ed, 1905 cents; dishonest, 1001l cents, and
disgorge, 991l.-Kansas City Star.

AFORTIJNF Under HIS SHIRT.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Feb. 25.-Ewald
Osterman, an Englishman 26 years old,
was arrested in Hoboken this morning as
a vagrant, as it was escaped. so Il was said,
from the prison van in Jersey City. He
was committed to the penitentiary for
three months. Upon arriving at the
prison, Osterman was ordered TO strip for
a bath. He refused and his clothing was
forcibly removed. Hidden beneath
his undershirt was found
chamois belt which contained five
Bank of England notes of G100 each and
diamonds worth fully $500. Warden
Grimes took charge Of the property
Osterman is apparently unable to give any
lucid account of himself. The hat he wore
was purchased at San Francisco, Cal,
whether by himself or another is not
known. 1t is believed that Osterman was
on his way to England. An effort will be
made to discover his friends.

Speed of Thought.

Most readers have no doubt frequently
made use of the expression 'quick as
thought" but have any of them ever stopped
to consider how quick thought isl A writer
has made some interesting calculations re-
garding the comparative length of time it
takes to call to mind various everyday facts.
1t takes about two-ifths OF second to call
to mind the country in which well known
town is situated, or the language in which a
familiar author wrote We can think of the
name OF next month in half the time we need
to think of the name of last month. 1t takes
on an average one-third of a second to add
numbers consisting OF one digit, and half a
second to multiply them. Such experiments
give us considerable insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two to three
in less time than others; those familiar with
literature can remember more quickly than
others that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet 1t
takes longer to mention month when a sea-
son has been given than to say 10 what month
a season belongs
The time taken up in choosing motio4.,

the time taken up in perceiving, If do not

we are so used to reading aloud that the pro-

can be read with greater ease and in less time
