may not have an opportunity or feel

Dreamed Himself Rich.

A remarkable story is told con-
cerning the manner in which Jim
Wardner's new mine, the Red Jack
ct, was located. @
Frank Austin was q ranch hand
working in a logging camp near
Snohomish. He had small shack
located on a homestead. He sup
ported his family by working in the
camp, and eventually hoped to
prove up on his land. He was not
4 miner and never thought much
about mines.
One night he dreamed Of a region
Of yellow gold and bright silver.
Surface views showed the precious
metals in large quantities. The
dream was 80 vivid that all thessur-
rounding objects were thoroughly
impressed on his memory.
All the next day he kept thinking
about his strange dream. He tried
to tell himself that he was not a
superstitious man, but he told his
wife of his dream, and she, too, was
much surprised with the circum-
stances. He had no money to go
out prospecting, but one day he saw
Mr.. Wardner and called him aside
and repeated his story. Wardner
laughed at the circumstance, but,
after assuring himself that the fell
low was honest, he pulled out q
large roll of bills which he always
carries and gave him some money,
telling him if he thought he could
find anything he might try. A
month after that Wardner received
a letter telling him rich mine had
been discovered. The peculiar part
Of it is that the Red Jacket is on
ledge where neither gold nor silver
has ever been found before, and Aus
tin found it just as it appeared to
him in his dream.-Seattle Times.

LIFE on oTnEa PllxEH.
spseiae Gravity Plays Many Franks
With the People Of Other Worlds.

The first thing which most at
tracts our attention about other
planets is their very great difference
in size, and this circumstance is the
cause Of some Of their most strik.
ing peculiarities. Take, for in
stance, the little planet Ceres. Our
earth is small enough, only 1912
miles in diameter, but Ceresis only
100 miles. These words may easily
pass in at one ear and out at the
other without leaving any impress
sion behind or, if they cause us
to think, We will wonder how easy
it must be to get from one country
to another, how delightful to be able
to sail round the world, pay q visit
to ones friends at the antipodes,
and be settled at home agaic-ail
within the short space of two sue
cessive play days. But if we look
ut the subject q little more closely,
we shall find that it involves far
more extraordinary consequences
than these. We know that while
the earth spins around men, dogs
and horses, balls and stones hold
on, or fall to the earth. This force
which attracts matter to matter is
called gravity or weight. It is
stronger in proportion tothe amount
of matter, and weaker in proper
tion to the square of the distance
of an object from the center of grav-
|ity. Now, the diameter of the earth
being fifty times greater than that
of Ceres, it follows that a boy
here is fifty times heavier than he
would be on the little planet. If
he weighs 100 pounds here he would
weigh only two pounds there. Boys
could play at ring-taw with huge
round boulders instead of marbles,
and play football with balloons.
Girls could carry dolls as heavy as
their mothers, and a strong bull
would be an easy load to bear. But
things stranger still would happen.
We know that if body be once
set in motion it will continue NOV
ing forever, if not stopped by some
external force. Thus, when boy
leaps into the air, he would go to
the moon and further, were it not
for the attraction of the earth, which
very soon pulls him down again.
But on the little planet Ceres this
force is so small that boy might
leap to an enormous height before
the attraction would check his as
cent. Jumping over q housetop
would be as easy as playing leap
frog, while a good jumper would
think nothing Of clearing, with a
short run, The tower of the new
City Hall. Staircases might be
abolished, for even a stout old lady
could easily Jump in at third
story window. The range of pro-
iectiies would be increased in pro-
portion. Baby could hurl his rat
tie into Council Bluffs, and in the
event of a.war with Chile, an ensign
at Fort Omaha, with q Krupp gun,
could defend San Francisco against
the invader. Nor have we yet ex-
hausted the wonders of Ceres.
We can imagine how uncomfort-
able it must be for a fat man of 800
pounds weight to walk. run or ex-
ert himself. But transport him to
our queer little friend Ceres, and he
is at once at ease. In q moment

about 657 pounds. Hence the $780,
OOO, 900, if melted into a solid mass,
would occupy some $500 cubic
feet, which in turn would make a
solid column of pure silver foot
square and about six and one-half
miles high-the Washington mon
ument being $50 feet. Assuming a
load of 100 pounds per man, an
army Of 100000 men would be re-
quired to carry the mass, and would
make a file, in close order, eighty
miles long, occupying thirty hours
in passing a given point" allow
ing nothing for haults or rests.
The Treasury counts its silver by
weighing it, which is the part of
wisdom, in view of the fact that a
man, counting at the rate of 200
dollar pieces per minute steadily
for eight hours a day, Sundays in
cluded, would be kept busy for
considerably over eleven years.
Piled one upon the other, the
$40O, 100000 would attain height
of 675 miles; and placed side by
side, they would carpet roomfifty
feet wide and nearly twenty-four
miles long. y
Great, however, as is the mass Of
silver ct present in the treasure
houses" of the Government, it is
being steadily increased by the pur-
chase Of 81, 900 goo additional oun-

before stated-of seven tons for

Some idea OF What This Means
When Applied to Silver.

The treasury of the United States
had in store on the 1st Of October,
1891, 8,S41 1913 silver dollars ;
415,848,620 in the form of subsid-
iary silver; silver bars to the value
of$41 ,579, ,253 trade dollars (bars },
$2,394, ,26O; total, $4O9, ,161 ,326, or
in round numbers $4OO, ,OOO, 900.
The Government, fCrthermor, is in
creasing THE immense store by buy
ing seven additional tons of silver
every working day in the year.
Now what does $40O, ,000; ;O00 worth
of silver mean? Stated in figures
or expressed in words it conveys to
minds as ordinarily constituted no
definite idea other than that Of an
