A. Corner In Old Tin Cans.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

A novel corner is reported from Butte
City. 1t appears that the waste waters
from some OF the mines ad AGENT TO the
city are heavily charged with copper, and
the saving OF this valuable solution has
within the past few months grown into
quite an industry. The lessee of one OF
the mines has entered into the business
on a large scale, and requires a constant
supply of tin cans and old iron. Hereto
fore he could get as much as he wanted
for the asking and the trouble of hauling
il away, but now the owners have be-
come alive TO the state OF the market, and
strike profitable bargains with the men
VINO are re yularly organized 10 collect the
cans and scrap. A ci y alderman saw an
opening Tor business, and quietly made
arrangements 10 control all the available
old iron and tin cans In the county. anu
has already accumulated huge heaps,
which are awaiting rise in the market.
IL is rumored the willy alderman thinks
now Of going into the copper business
himself, and the chances are that he will
either starve out the mine lessee or be
taken In as a partner.

OLDEST MAN ON EARTH.
Nicolas de savin, Born in Paris 12e
Years Ago.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Nicolas de Sayin was born in Paris on
April IL, 176S. He witnessed all the great
events of the revolution. He was in the
expedition to Egypt, fought at Austerlitz
and lena, was wounded at Saragossa. and
decorated with the cross of the Legion of
Honor, and was all through the Russian
campaign in the Third corps under Mar
shall Ney.
AT Berezina he was surrounded by Cos
sacks. The splendid fight that he made
against terrific odds won the admiration
of Count Platof, who rushed in and saved
his life. He was made prisoner Of war,
and sent at first to iaroslay and afterward
TO Saratof. In this latter town he re-
NAMED for over sixty years, earning his
living as professor of French. He was
still teaching when he was over 100 years
old. 1t is needless to say that the old
soldier made no fortune in his new pro-
fession.
My father" said he to the Vremia
reporter, was colonel in the French
Guards under Louis V. l was child
when he sent me to the Jesuits' College
at Tours. There, in addition to science
and theology, L learned music, dra wing,
dancing, fencing and riding" When he
came back to Paris in 1890 his family was
y
III of the same year, and he never could
find out what became of his mother.
Later on he found his younger brother at
Rouen.
In 1893 NJ. de Saviu enlisted in the army
formed at Havre by Napoleon for an ex--
petition against the English. Soon after
ward he was sent to Toulon with his regi-
ment,o the Second II ussarss Nobody in
the regiment knew where he was going
until q ~ pf her n
was discovered that the army was on it's
way to Egypt. He returned with his reg
iment to France in 1901.
Shortly after the capture of Saragossa,
Savin, with eleven of his companions,
was captured BY the Spaniaris. They
were sent to Seville, and lodged in the
prison of the Inquisition. I'm our cell, :"
said Savin, there were instruments of
torture which we used in digging our
selves out We escaped one dark night
and for nearly a month afterward we
wandered in the Sierra, living on oranges
and cress. Eight of our companions died
OF hardship and privation. The other
three, including myself, managed to get
back to the army"
The old veteran gave the reporter of
the Vremia a long account of his ex-
perince in the campaign of 1919 When
asked how heaccounted for his extraordi-
nary age and vigor he replied in the fol-
lowing Latin lines, which must warm the
hearts of the virtuous and the temp
ate: Es
Multa tulit fecitaue puer, sudavit ct alsit
Abstinuit venere ct vino.
A subscription for him has been started
both in Russia and in France, and in the
list of the Figaro and other leading
Paris journals appear conspicuously.
Prof. Nichols de Savin. probably to-
day the oldest man on earth, will be well
cared for.

THE LION HAD HIS TURN FIRST.

From "a Nobody in Mashonaland"
often used to warn Billy against going
out so far by himself and sleeping by him

didn't give curse for lions, and never
could lie brought to believe that lions
were capable of attacking a white man.

often said, for he had promised his girl
in Capetown a necklace of lions claws,
and was keen about killing lions. Well,
one day. when we had not had BIT of
meat in two days, he started on ahead In
the evening we stopped at river and
concluded that Billy had camped for the
night further on. In the morning we
started on again. and we had not gone ten

Bryne cried out: "Ouchw Just as il he

glazing at one of Bily's boots. MAN, :"
he whispered, "there's the foot in it
still" And sure enough, the poor fel-
low s foot was there There was blood
all over the place, and the spoor of a big
lion could easily be seen on the soft
ground. We followed up the spoor and
found half of poor Billys head near a
tree. The tall, green grass all around
was crushed down, showing that the lion
had been lying there IL was the top of
Billy's head that was left, and both the
eyes were open and seemed TO be looking
at something on the ground fifty yards
away. We buried the poor remnants UNI
der big wild plum tree, and spent a
week in tracking that lion, but we never
came up with IL.

An odd Calculation.
From the New York Tribune

Representative Julius Goldzier of Chi
cayo received a curious document yester-
day from one of bis constituents of sta
fistical turn of mind. who figures out that
in one way the great strike has been a
blessing in disguise, and has actually re-
suited in saving of human life. He
writes:
"During the twelve days Of the strike
the militia, police, regulars and deputy
sberiffs have killed seven people. Ac-
cording to the police reports the rail
roads centering in Chicago killed at grade
CROSSINGS 700 people last year, which
Iyonld make loss Of lie of twenty-four
during this period. 1t will be seen that.
deducting those killed in riots there has
been a net gain of seventeen lives saved
