At Churckagik Bay it is reported that
enormous deposits of coal have been
found, extending to and under the sea.
The veins thus far noted ran from three
to eight feet in thickness. The veins APP

Hundreds of tons of coal, broken into
fragments by the action of the waves
upon the lower seam, strew the beach.
These deposits are very accessible, and the
product could probably be put aboard
ship very cheaply. Specimens We're tested
by Government officers during recent
trip along the coast. They were found
to be of the nature of camel coal. Fol-
welding purposes it proved to be superior
to any coal yet discovered on the Pacific
coast. 1t is also likely to be a good coal
for illuminating purposes, Judging from
retort experiments. 1t will be neces-
sary to work these deposits by shafts,
but about twenty miles down the coast
there is an abandoned Russian mine
which has been worked by drift from
the beach, and which might, perhaps,
be reopened with profit -ISan Francisco

Treatment of Cancer by Electricity.


1t is claimed that very remarkable re-
suits have attended the treatment of can
Ger cases by electricity in England The
operation is described as follows: The
patient is anasthetized the current is
then passed through the tumor and all
the tissues for some inches around it by
means of fine insulated needles, SO as not
to iniure the skin. The effects produced
by the action of electricity consists in
cessation of growth, gradual disappear
ance of pain, some shrinking and hard
ening of the tumor and enlarged glands,
followed by improved nutrition and
better state of health. The growth, as a
whole, does not disappear, but remains
in an inert mass, composed, in all proba-
bility, of fibrous tissue alone.
The majority of cases where this treat
ment has been used have been those in
which the knife had failed or in which
the disease had progressed too far for the
knife. In some cases where the growth
was excessive only part could be
treated at one operation. Among the
advantages claimed for this method of
treatment are the following: Life may
be prolonged by it indefinitely, provided
that metastatic deposits had not occurred
before the commencement of the treat
ment; patients are not obliged to lie up
for more than day or two as a rule;
they lose no blood and are not generally
any weaker; the current can be passed
through almost any part of the body,
and thus arrest growths which could not
by any possibility be otherwise treated.

THE ICED TEA SECRET.
How to Make a Hcaithful and Palatable
BeNerage.

How to Make a Hcaithful and Palatabls
Beverage.
How should iced tea be made, then?
will tell you, and much good may it do
you In the first place, take Congo tea,
commonly called English breakfast
Take the best quality. Do not use Japan
csc tea for it is not drinkable to we'll
regulated palate Oolong is good, and
so is young Hyson, for those whose
nerves can stand green tea; but Congo
has an especially agreeable flavor, iced.
Having got your tea, the next thing is an
carthen teapot-a black Betty is the best.
No metal pot brews tea as we'll as an
earthen. Put the tea in the bottom of
the pot and pour boiling hot water upon
it until the pot is nearly filled. Then let
it steep minute or two, but don't, don't
let it boil. That is fatal error. Boil
ing gives even to the best of tea dis
agreeable herby taste. As soon as the
stepping is done with strain the liquor
out of the earthen pot into any conven-
lent receptacle which has tight lid,
and put it into the refrigerator. In few
hours it will be ice cold, and can be used
as wanted. 1t should be made fresh
every day. A nice way of serving tea
made and cooled in this manner is in
cups, with a slice of lemon floating on
top. The Russians do this with hot tea.
1t is equally delicious with cold tea. I'm
less you feel that you must from long
habit, don't flavor iced tea with milk or
sugar. 1t is the bitter flavor which you
need, and which tends to quench the
parched feeling of the palate and throat
which is produced by hot weather. AT
ter while that bitter flavor will become
a desderatum, just as is the case with
beer and ale. Made and drank as have
described. iced tea is not delusion and
a snare. like the iced tea of restaurants,
but thingof beauty and joy forever.

the death of all but four of the cockatoos
and parrots by eating up all the corn
that had been provided for the feathered
passengers. Then, during a gale, the
snakes and crocodiles broke out of their
boxes in the hold and invaded the fore
castle SO that for five days the men could
not venture into their quarters, but had
to live in the cabin. These reptiles. along
with the rats, kept up Il continual war
fare until the surviving crocodile killed
the last snake, and completed the chain
of vengeance by being itself killed during
a fierce southwest storm by some of the
cargo shifting and falling ON it.
During the scrimmagc among the
reptiles the monkeys took to the rigging
and stuck there despite all efforts To dis
lodge them, and the men could not VEN
cure about the croSstreeS, the result being
the gales carried away all the boats,
hampers and spars. They finally all
washed away except four, which were
captured.
The worst passenger was a five-foot
gorilla, which was imprisoned i'll a stout
wooden box dashed near the galley. The
top of this the animal forced off, but
though held by a chain he had consider
able play, and getting possession of an
iron bar he swept the deck, so that the
only way of getting to the forecastle was
by the shrouds. He wound up by par
.ially scalping the negro cook, Selling
him by the wool one day, and only let
ting go after he had been nearly killed
with an ak. All men were more or less
hurt by the beast, and he led them a life
of terror. The museum collection now
is reduced to the gorilla, three monkeys
and five parrots.

Why He Didn't Stay Out West.

with enthusiasm and desire to grow
upwith the country surprised his friends
by returning home after an absence of
several weeks. He said that while he
was out land hunting in what he thought
was the garden spotof America he came
across a boarded up claim shanty. On
the boards nailed across the door he
found this inscription, which accounted
for his unexpected return: Fore miles

road. A hundred and atey from timber.

A fad in writing paper is what is
called lovers stationery. 1t is fine
note paper, delicately tinted, the most
fashionable shade being light pink. The
water mark, to be detected by holding
the sheet up to the light, is a blending Of
two hearts, pierced by an arrow. In the
lower corner of each fourth page or re-
verse of each second half sheet, appears
what at first sight looks like bemish.
But this is the charming feature of the
novelty: it is the kissing spot, for here
the correspondent presses his or her lips,
and thus a salute is waited to the absent
lover. The kissing spot is about the size
of shilling (25 cent piece and is covered
with thin aromatic gum that imparts
to the lips pleasant odor and taste. A
more ingenious bit of maudlin senti-
mentality could hardly be devised, yet
we must all confess that it is of just such
innocent and inane follies that the Joy of
human life largely consists Chicago

Irving and Cooper.

believe that in the second century
there will be but two names that will
live to be enshrined in the temple that it
passes down to the third, of all that it
receives from the first, and those two
names will be Washington Irving and
Fenimore Cooper. And that will be for
the fact that they are simply and only of
America-that they have occupied their
genius with things that are entirely and
only American. BY that time the In
dian race will have disappeared from the
continent to be remembered only as a
dream. Lo, the poor Indian, will then
have been etherealized to a form in
which he would not know himself. And
Fenimore Cooper will live not because
his romances are the equals or the supe-
rors of SCOTS or of Thackeray's, or of
Dickenss. but because they represent
the Indian as the second century will
love to recreatc him, and will paint him
in its pictures, and will present him in
its comedies and tragedies. And Wash
ington Irving will live because the Hud-
son will live So long as the Rhine is
the inspiration of Europe, so long will
the Hudson be the inspiration of the ro-
nance and poetry of America. And ev-
cry spot upon the Hudson, as the centu-
ries roll on, will be more picturesque and

From Joseph Jetferson's autobiogra-
ply in the Century we quote the follow
ing: edwin Forrest, with all his faults,
had warm and generous impulses. l
| know of one instance where a poor, old
actress went to him in distress In for
mer years he had known her father and
respected him. Touched by her appeal
for assistance he lent her large sum of
money, with the almost certain knowl-
edge that he would never get it back
again. 1t was never made public; no
one knew of it but the receiver and my
self. The Forrest Home has done much
good, and is likely to do more; and those
actors who either by age OF by infrmi-
ties have been debarred the privilege of
following their profession will naturally
be grateful for this rich legacy.
Even in the days of his theatrical
fame and prosperity Forrest was an aus
tere man, and as he grew older he be-
came morbidly misanthropcal, holding
himself aloof from all but his most
intimate friends. The latter part of his
life was imbittered too by illness and
the loss of public favor. Until the clos
with perfect health; this became sud-
denly sh altered and the unexpected at
tack wrecked his dramatic power. He
might have borne the stroke of illness,
but to one whose imperious nature could
not brook the faintest slight the loss of
public admiration was a heavy blow {;
one, too, that would have shocked a
wiser and more tempered man than
Edwin Forrest. Still he toiled on, and
was unjustly cenSured for acting past
his powers. But what was he to do?
His physicians told him that he must act
if he would live; the wheel must be kept
in motion or it would fall. His perform
ances in the larger cities were given to
empty houses, while bright and youth
full aspirants We're drawing from him all
his old adherents.
His former friends forsook him, and
naturally, too, they could not bear the
pain of witnessing their favorte of other
days declining night by night. No actor
can hope to hold an interest in his audi
ence merely by what he has done in years
gone by !; in acting it is the present that
the public have to deal with, not the
past. To witness age and decrepitude
struggling to conceal their weakness in
the mimic scene is too painful. The
greater our affection for the artist the
less can we bear to see him suffer and go
down.
"In the vain hope of struggling on, the
old trageIian sought the provinces.
Here the people fiocked in crowds to see
the great actor that they had heard of
from childhood not with the faintest
hope that they would find the grandeur
of the past, but from the curious desire
to see ruined tower just before it falls.

An Englshman's Tale About the Queer
est Hotel on Earth.

An Englishman's Tale About the Queer
est Hotel on Earth.
"The Guce'cSt hotel in the world is in
Guatemala City, Cent? i America, said
an English tourist to a Chicago He'Wid
man. "While there few weeks ago |
stopped day at the biggest hoStelry,
and met with more surprises than have
previously encountered in my trip around
tine world. The house is built only one
story high on account Of the earthquakes.
1t is constructed in tie form of a hollow
square. and tn" interior court is made
beautiful wi h trees ana flowers. The
exterior presents the Il 'earancc of Il
PRISON. After pounding a high knocker
on the QUITE" door, YOU are ushered into
scene Of 'cr liant leauty. The hotel
was form rly the private residence of
one of the richest famiiie; of Central
America but the owner was banished
bv Fr dent Barrios for an alleged con-
spir#cv against the government. Around
the interior were balconies overlooking
q garden flied with orange and peach
trees. palms, and beautiful flowers.
The fare was good. and we had our
choice of pancakes with honey, fish,
poultry. fruits, and coffee and chocolate.
You can't eat there if you are in hurry
though Only one thing is served at a
time, and you can't get a cup of coffee
until everything else has been served
The hotel furnishes candles, but matches
are extra Then there is a system of
calling the guests n entities the
hotel to the name of the queerest one on
earth. You are called by flies. The
flies down there are nearly as large as an
English sparrow, and they sting like a
hornet, though the bite is not poisonous.
They never kill them. but brush them
away. The halls of the hotels are filled
with these pests in the morning. Over
each door is a transom. Now, if you
leave call for I o'clock your transom is
opened at I and the flies go in. Do they
wake you? l should say so. The sensa-
ton is like that of being sandbagged
In five minutes from the time your tran
som is opened you are down stairs look
ing for the proprietor. 1t doesn't do any
good to kick, though, for that system
has been the custom for years.

Widely Different Hues in tho Streams Of

The colors of rivers differ widely. The
Rhone is blue, and SO is the Danube,
while the Rhine is green. Anybody who
has traversed the wonderful Adirondack
region and tished in its waters must have
noticed the remarkable difference in the
color of its rivers and smaller streams
which radate in every direction from
the central group of mountains.
The waters of the Sacondaga are vel
lowish while those of the Canada creeks
and of the Mohawk are clear, with per-
haps blush tint in deep holes.
Fish Creek is black, or a deep brown,
and its neighbor, Salmon River, is color
less.
Next comes the Black River, whose
color is indicated by its name, but be-
tween it and the Grasse, which is also
black or brown. is the Oswegatchie, with
clear white waters.
The st. Regis, again, is black, but the
Raquette is white. The st. Lawrence is
