A Dangerous Crisis.

A gentleman who was last winter in
the south relates that upon one occa-
sion he went with some friends to n col
ored service, says the Boston Courier.
At the close of the sermon q contribu-
tion was taken mp, and as the plate was
passed to him he dropped into it silver
half dollar. meaning this to do for the
whole party. The colored deacon who
was passing the plate regarded it On in
stant with stupefied air, and then said
in hoarse whisper: "Take out dat ar
silbcr." isn't it enough?" the gentle
man asked, much amused. "Lor' bless
yer" responded the deacon, "wc don't
put silbert into this yer plate. Dat
old nigger Preacher'd get so puffed up
dat we uns couldn't lib wild him,
noway." The argument was too con-
vincing to be resisted, especially as by
this time the whole congregation was
watching the colloquy between the den-
con and the stranger, and the gentle
man hastily exchanged a. handful of
pennies for the silver piece. The deacon
passed on smiling, with the air Of q
man who had skillfully brought the
church bark past q dangerous rapid.

The Tin MINES OF AMERICA.

Whore They Are Located anu Their Pro.
portions OF Value.
The tin bearing lodes are for the
most part on the western side of the
Black Hills, among the older schists,
and are of very different degrees of
value. Some of them are of enormous
thickness. exceeding one hundred feet,
but the casSiterite is not equally dis
tributed in them. 1t is found in strings,
and patches, and sheets, and many of
the veins and large parts of others con-
tain none They dip into the ground ut
high angles-usually about seventy de-
grees-in this respect resembling the
lodes of Cornwall, and their working
will consequently be very similar. I'm
mense quantities of cassiteritc exist in
hills. The granite veins are very nu-
merous, and large proportion of them
are more or. less Stanniferous, says
writer in the Engineering Magazine.
But the percentage, as elsewhere, is
very low, about equaling the average.
yield of the Cornish mines at present in
operation. 1t is not easy to give fig-.
ures, but sanguine estimate might put
forth at two per cent, and probably in
order to attain this some of the poorer
mineral must be excluded.
The granite of the Temescal range in
San Bernadino county, Cal, has
yielded small quantities of tin ore and
few rich specimens. In 1861 consid-.
erable exploration was made IN the re-
gion, and this has recently been re-
newed. But so far as is known the con-
ditions Of the occurrence of the mineral
do not differ from those obtained else
where. Maine, Alabama, Massachu-
sets, Virginia and South Carolina have
at various times yielded show of cas-
siterite and always in close connection

ORIGIN OF THE NAME AMERICA,

Jules Maroon Says the Word Was Taken
From the Indian Language.
Pearson's weekly.l
M. Jules Maroon, of the Paris Geograph-
ical Society, has lately spent great deal
of time in making researches into the ORR
gin of the name America" The popular
notion that America was so called from the
Christian name of Amerigo Vespucci is, he
says, wholly unfounded, the name really
being taken from "Amerrique, the Indian
name of the mountains between Juigalpa
and Libertad, in the provinces of Chon-
tales, which separate Lake Nicaragua from
the Mosquito coast.
The name in the Maya language signifies
'the windy country" or "the country
where the wind blows alive So The
Christian name of Vespucci was lberico in
Italian and Spanish, and Albericus in Latin,
but it is subject to great number of varia-
tions, and consequently NJ Maroon suggests
that the name Amerigo is an adaptation of
Amerrique. added to Vespucci's name to
distinguish it (Amerrique being a name
already known and applied to the New
Chinese Gordon" to distinguish this par
ticular Gordon by suggesting one of his
heroic feats Vespucci's claim to the dis
covery of America is put out of court BY
the fact that he was in Seville when Colum-
bus made his voyage. He did, however,
make two or three voyages to the New
World later on, and being vain man and
acquainted with map-makers, he would be
nothing loath to see his name associated
with the vague splendors of the new CON-
tinent.

R,gion OF the Future.

Alaska Is Fast Becoming the Great Salmon
R.gion OF the Future.
New York Times.l
As to the Importance of the Pacific fisher
les, taking 1889 as the last year Of which re-
liable statistics of the salmon-canning in
dustry were obtainable, the vast total Of
!, ,2S7, ,O6o cases of salmon is presented as the
yield of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and
California. This was worth at first cost
81, 900, 900. Taking the whole canned product
during the IA years prior to 1889, the Pacific
salmon were equivalent in weight to
1000. 900 head of cattle, and Exceeded the
latter in economic importance and food
value"
Every year there are more canned salmon
coming from Alaska In 1883 there were
$4,000 cases; in 1889, $4,000 cases. But
how long this enormous supply will last is
not known. The yield in Oregon was at
one time apparently diminishing. Captain
Collins writes: SIT would seem that in any
event Alaska is to be the great salmon
region of the future" British Columbia
shows the same increase in salmon products
In 1876 she made IL, 900 cases of salmon; in
1889, Ala, 400 cases. British Columbia sells
one-half OF her products in Europe and
about one-ffth in the Eastern States.

Richest Capture On Record.
The galleon had on board 1918, S43
"pieces-of-eight;" 30, 642 ounces of virgin
silver, some cochineal and large quantity
OF merchandise. It was calculated after
ward that the total amounted to no less
than 81, 0O0, 900, the largest sum ever cap
tured in single bottom. On the 11th Of
July the Centurion anchored with her
prize at Macao, to the great wonder of the
"H eathen Chinee." The prize was sold to
the merchants of Macao
1t Is interesting to note the errors in the
longitudes of Anson. Though he had on
board w. Pascoe Thomas, Teacher of the
Mathematics, and who appears to have
been pretty well versed in the theory and
practice of navigation, the longitude was
frequently as much as eight degrees in
error! This is the more remarkable as
Dampier in 16S7-ffty-six wears before An
son-was only about three degrees in error.
But Dampier was the most skilful navi-
gator OF his day, and very remarkable
man.
To resume: The Centurion having dis
posed OF her prize, sailed for home about
December Is, 1743, and, after an excellent
passage, in which she touched at the Cape
OF Good Hope, arrived at Spithead june
Is, 1744

was subject of much public e1ultation.
The treasure of the galleon was drawn in
triumphal pomp through the city of Lon
don In 81 wagons, which were preceded by
a band of military music playing national
airs. and guarded by detachment of sea-
men and marines of the victor ship, amid
the shouts and acclamations Of thousands of
spectators The crew was paid off with i'm

The Sergeant now acted like a madman.
He cursed the flag, the man, his luck and
the evil star that presided at his birth.
Then, beside himself, forgetting his sense of
honor, he began to wrench the flag to pieces.

Played Billiards Without Balls,


According to an eve witness peculiar in

the billiard and pool tables were occupied
but one Two gentlemen entered the room
at.ired in full evening dress Engaging q
billiard table, the boy brought the balls,
but the players. to his utter astonishment,
told him they did not need them. Remov-
ing their topcoat, coats and hats, they took
cues and commenced mimic game. They
made the customary moves around the
table, studied apparent plays, made the
customary grimsces at misplays, and regu-
larly counted their stringa A wondering
crowd gathered about them. They thought
the men were crazy. A funny part of it
was that they never smiled, took the "guy-
ing" of the crowd serenely, and, when the
points were marked up, paid for the game
and unconcernedly walked out The solu.
tion of the mystery was that the imitation
game was played on q wager.

Reports on the Tariff.

Hatch, from the Committee on
Agriculture, lately submitted re-
port on the effect of the present
tariff law upon agriculture. 1t says
there has been a steady decline in
the prices of farm property since
the war, while under the same laws
other interests have been more re-
munerative and prosperous. The
report insists that under the low
tariff of 1916 agriculture enjoyed
the greatest prosperity. The result
of a prohibitive tariff has been to
prejudice European nations against
the United States, and in the retalia-
ton which followed agriculture was
done an irreparable injury. The
American farmer is compelled to sell
his products in direct competition
with the pauper and slave labor of
Asia and Africa, which subsists on
wages averaging less than IS per
month. Reciprocity is denounced
as a fiimsy attempt to deceive the
farmer.
White of Iowa, in an additional
report, says no class of citizens is SC
thoroughly handicapped by the pro,
tective system as the farmers of the
Mississippi valley engaged in raising
hogs and cattle. Funston of Kansas
presented minority report. 1t says
that the fact that the Democrats il
the House with a majority of Is;
are about to adjourn without any
effort to repeal the Mckinley law
should settle the question as to
whether or not, in the opinion O
the majority of the House, the law
is wrong and oppressive.
The majority report recites the
benefits of reciprocity and asserts
that the statement that the farms
had shrunk in value is matter O.
mere assertion, for which there is nc
data. In no other age, no Other
country and no other time in thi.
country has there been a law O.
economic character passed in which
the interests of any class of person:
are more carefully guarded than
those of the farmer in the McKin
ley law.
