walk over the mountain TO FFiedens-
vile, Pa, one spring day when the farmers
were blowing their fields, brought the late
Dr. Roepper, well known to mineralogists,
TO where a team was dragging a pillow near
the road. A talk with the driver brought
out the fact that his farm was cursed with
more than the usual amount of stones, and
a sample was tossed over the fence TO the
doctor as evidence. It was recognized as a
mass of quartz carrying calamine-a sill
cate of zinc. The fence was climbed and
the two followed the pillow forward and
back across a field covered with similar
masses.
Had the doctor been a sharper he would
have bought the farm and died a rich
man. As he was only an honest lover Of
nature he said few words to the plow-
man that transformed an exhausted Penn
sylvania farm into the seat of the Ueber-
roth mine; that set in operation the extern
sive zinc works of Bethlehem, Pa, and
built the "PresideRt"-a pump that could
raise 1900 gallons Of water per minute.
This chance shot at a fortune is but one of
many, and dozen volumes would i'll suf-
flee TO note the salient points of the record.
II so much can be done haphazard it is
evident that a systematic training in eco
nomic geology will furnish a means for a
livelihood, as well as an aid in the consid-

done what they could to introduce the

also shown himself a reformer of abuses,
especially of the worst of Siamese social
evils, the universally of serfdom and
the prevalence of slavery.

expected from him, bat even were the

Walt whitman in New York.

Notwithstanding his residence in
Washington, his stay in New Orleans,
where he did some good newspaper
work, and not counting his long vegeta-
ton in Camden N. j., Walt Whitman
is in every fiber a thorough New Yorker
Why not? He was born, seventy-two
years ago, in little village over on
Long Island, and, like most Long Island
ers, naturally drifted to this town. Ny
old journalistic friend remembers him
here thirty-fve years ago, when he first
put out his Leaves of Grass" This
city was comparatively small then, and
Walt Whitman was as conspicuous
citizen as any-knew everybody and
everybody knew him. He was a marked
figure on Broadway--a most manly man,
rs vigorous and virile as his own poetry.
His very personality impressed itself
upon all passers by, and men, and even
women, turned around to look at him
He was almost the first to make the now
fashionable fad Of the flannel shirt in
summer his all the year round convent
ence and comfort, and the broad collar
was turned over a silk American fac.
His ordinary wear was neat suit of
workingman's clothes Whatever he
might be called, a Democrat or Repub-
iican, he prided himself upon being
zone of the people, Brady, then IA
nous as a photographer, was the first to
capture Whitman, and thereafter every
photographer in town displayed colored
pictures Of Walt, especially to show his
American flag scarf.
There were omnibuses in those days
-"stages," they called them-and every
driver knew Walt Whitman; and up
and down Broadway the poet was promi-
nent, often for hours, beside driver on
the box. The lively street was his studio
in which he made his pictures of the
people and his studies of humanity /

A Unique Social Organization,

The latest departure in clubdom i3 the
formation of the Annie Lynch Botta
Conversation club, a purely social or
ganization of literary and artistic men
and women, founded in memory of Mrs.
Botta's famous Sunday evenings. The
topic of the evenings conversation is
known only to one person, who selects
it but does not announce it until after the
company has assembled, which pre-
cludes all possibility of preparation and
secures the charm Of spontaneity to the
talk.
The person who selects the topic is
called the director" and leads the con-
versation. This Office is not held by the
same person on consecutive evenings.
Membership to the club is obtained only
through the medium of friendship with
those already admitted to its privileges.

Once more the Wolverhampton mag.
lstrates have adjourned the hearing of
the case against Harry Moores. alias
"Dr. Vint, the mesmerist. Moores gave
an exhibition in that town of his alleged
powers of hypnotizing, but, according to
the charge of the town clerk, who is
conducting the prosecution, the whole
business was a fraud concocted between
the accused and certain confederates
One OF the hypnotists subjects deposed
that he went every night and received
payment for his performances. A Jour
haiist who was present deposed that he
saw hypnotized persons lying on the
boor who 'winked at each other" and a
police constable stated that when he
proposed to stick pin into one of these
supposed unconscious persons ''to see if
ne was really in mesmeric sleep" the
operator threatened ITO have him locked
up"
On the other hand. DR.. Vints legal
adviser proposed, by way of a practical
test of his clients powers, to give an ex-
hlbition in court with one who had been
mesmerized before When this was de.
clined he offered then and there to mes.
merize the magistrates clerk-a proposal
which, though it caused laughter. APP
pears to have been deemed equally
unacceptable The case is exciting
much interest in the town on account Of
its novelty. The town clerk himself has
observed that he did not know whether
there had ever been a similar case in a
court of justice, but Wolverhampton,
ne added, is noted for legal precedents.

Explosives In Mines.

It has been claimed that the use of
modern explosives in mines leads to the
production Of such poisonous fumes that
a grave danger TO the workmen is thus
incurred. A short time ago a commit
tee was appointed by the Durham Coal
Owners association, consisting of repre-
sentatiyes Of both masters and men. to
consider this important question. Care
ful experiments having been made, the
committee came to the conclusion that
the fumes produced are not more dan
gerous than those from gunpowder:
that carbon monoxide-the irrespirable
gas which is produced by the combus-
ton Of charcoal, and which has led to
so many deaths-is present only in
traces; that an interval of five minutes
should be allowed to elapse before the
men re-enter the gallery in which the
charge has been fired; and that as they
find portion of the deleterious gases
are due to the fuse employed, the charges
should be invariably fred by electricity
