CAUGHT HER "BUsY" HUBBY.-The
first social scandal Of the season came
to the surface at Monmouth Park race
track at West End, Long Branch, n. j.,
on Saturday.
During the third race commotlon
was heard on one Of the upper rows of
the grand stand. People strained their
necks to SEQ and then some one said =
''Oh, it's only a woman who has
fs.inted."
The incident was then forgotten.
The commotion was in reality caused
by one angry woman beating another
on the head with her parasol, the
flight to the women's dressing room OF
the woman attacked, and renewal Of
the assault there until the victims
clothing was torn into shreds, her hat
smashed to pieces and the colored girl
in charge of the room exhausted
by her efforts to separate the women.
The story is the same old one of
trusting wife, an erring husband and
another woman. The wife is the fore
woman in one of the fashionable dress
making establishments in upper Fifth
avenue. Her husband owns one of the
largest feed stores in New York and
supplies all the large private and public
stables in his neighborhood. The
other woman is one of the many who
follow the races. She has been living
for two years in pretty cottage at
Bay Ridge, n. Y.
The husband, his wife and their
seven small children occupy cottage
at the West End, quite close to Holly
wood. The husband has been so much
away from home lately on the plea of
business that his wife grew suspicious
and at last employed detective. The
man had no trouble in tracing the hus-
band to the pretty cottage at Bay
Ridge. He made his report and adj
vised the wife to visit the race track
Saturday.
She did so and there saw her "busy"
husband seated beside the Bay Ridge
woman, paying her every attention,
betting for her and handing to her the
winning tickets for safe keeping.
The outraged wife watched until she
could no longer restrain herself. Then
she rushed upon the woman and made
the assault as described above.
During the melee the husband dis
appeared. The wife, who is independ
emit of her husband, remains in the
cottage with her children and will, it
is said, institute divorce proceedings.

How NATURE MAKES SILvER.-The
processes by which nature forms such
accumulations of silver are very inter
esting. 1t must be remembered that
the earth's crust is full of water, which
percolates everywhere through the
rocks, making solutions of elements
obtained from them. These chemical
solutions take up small particles of the
precious metal which they find scatter
ed here and there. Sometimes the So
lutions in question are hot, the water
having got so far down to be set boil
ing by the internal heat of the globe.
Then they rush upward, picking up
the bits of metal as they go. Naturally
heat assists the performance of this OPP
Grafton. Now and then the streams
thus formed, perpetually flowing hith-
er and thither below ground, pass
through the cracks or cavities in the
rocks, where they deposit their loads
of silver. This is Kept up for great
length of time, perhaps thousands of
years, until the assures of the pockets
are filled up. Crannies permeating the
stony mass in every direction may be-
come filled with the metal, or occa-
sionally chamber may be stored full
of it, as if myriad hand were fetching
the treasure from all sides and hiding
away future bonanza for some lucky
prospector to discover in another age.
