Tie Biggest Clam Mine Yet.

A clam mine, full OF live CLAIMS, and
OF great breadth and depth, has been
discovered at the mouth of the Dele.
ware Bay, off the Fishing Creek shore.
This has proved a valuable find, and
recently about 100 boats, containing
five men each, were at work on the
mine. The product of the great bed
is shipped daily to Chicago, a specula.
tor Of that city agreeingto take the en-.
tire output of the mine at about thirty
cents per hundred delivered at Ben.
nett's station, on the West Jersey
Railroad. There has recently been a
corner in the clam market, and choice
articles have been sold at as high as
81 per 100 to restaurant keepers.
A pocket of clans covers a wide area
just beyond low water mark, and on
sequently all who wish to dredgc may
do SO without fear or favor. It was
discovered some days ago by William
Harper, of Green Creek, who found
dozens Of prime CLAIMS imbedded deep
ly in a small cake OF ice washed ashore
close by Highland and Arlington
beaches. Marking the spot carefully
he waited until the ice was entirely
out of the bay, and then taking a boat
he patrolled the bayside from end to
end until he located the mine. For a
day or so his liberal finds attracted no
attention; but one by n the idle
fishermen and farmers rowed out to
the mine and helped themselves. The
find being located beyond the low
water mark, the mine is public prop
erty and is being worked for all it will
bear.
One of tho greatest shipments vet
made was on Wednesday, when over
6O,0CG clans started on their journey
West from Benefits station. Tho
bags were piled so high as to almost
hide the Station house.
Every now and then a discovery
something like this is made, but tho
present mine exceeds any previous
find known on the Atlantic Coast.

Chess Board on The Brain.

'The coming international chess

staying at the Victoria. ri refer to
the blindfolded players who under

several games at once. Naturally the
mental strain is intense. Murphy, one
Of the famous blindfold players, is said
TO have become insane and to have died
1nder melancholy circumstances when
still young. zukertort and La Bour-
lannais were also said to have sue

"But come to the discovery. After
the death Of Richard lockwood, a cele-
brated blindfold player, a skilled anat-

mans brain. He cut sections and put
them under the microscope. He found
that the molecules had arranged them
selves into forms somewhat resembling
,hess boards, with marks on the squares
supposed to represent the final posi-
lions of the pieces in the last twelve
games that he played.
"This discovery opens q large field

the microscope Les Miserables,' for

Cost OF Discovering America,

Professor Ruge, one of those Ges.
mans who are all the while findina
something out, has learned from the
archives of Palos that the actual expenses
Of the first Columbus voyage of dis.
coyery amounted to LAO, 900 mara
vedis. Professor huge has found no
record of the cost of the caravels, and
he therefore offers no estimate of in.
terest Of the capital invested in those
vessels or the expense due to natural
deterioration, repairs, etc.
1t is only very m~oderatively interest
ing oknow that the expenses amounted
to q certain number of marayedis, b.
cause the average reader may not know
the present value of q maravedi, much
less the value of that coin 400 years
ago. Many people do not even know
that a coin of n given denomination
changes in yalue-in purchasing power
with the lapse of time, and many more
have only u vague notion of the extent
Of the change. 1t is, in fact, q matter
OF great difficulty to translate the money
of past times into money of the pres
ent time So IS to gats a Clear idea of the
relative cost u commodities and SER
vices.
In the present instance Professor
Ruea attempts to translate maravedis
OF the time of Columbus into German
marks, and we have to translate marks
into dollars with much liability to err
ror because o given quantity of gold
and silver will to-day buy more of
most things in Germany than in the
United States. As the result of the
double transaction we have the esti-
mate that the cost of the first voyage
of Columbus was about $500. That
looks like a very small sum-. but we get
a modified idea of it when we are told
that the yearly pay of Columbus him
self was 1920, of the captains $192 each,
Of the pilots from $132.50 to $153. SO
and of a surgeon only $3s. %, while the
sailors received less than $50 o year

Andrew Brown, the superintendent
of the Water Works, for the present
famine. Mr.. Brown stated last
night that he was aware that the
water supply for people living on
the higher Levels was poor at
present, but ne was doing the best
he could 10 satisfy people. All the
kicking ia coming from residents
in the Nuuanu Valley district.

from the Nuuanu reservoirs, but at
present all three of the storage
places are nearly dry, particularly
Nos. ! and ,. Last week men
were put To work IN No. l and ali
the mud that rested on the bottom
was removed. This week the
men are cleaning out No. ,
and there is not enough
water in it TO interfere with
their work. New strainers have
also been placed in position so the
two reservoirs are in good condi-
ton TO hold the downpour of the
next rain storm. There is very
little water in the reservoir at the
electric. light station, and if the
supply does not increase the streets
will be dark at night, as there is
not pressure enough 10 run the

The people in the business por-
ton of the city and the residents
on the Plains have no grievance as
vet as they are supplied from the
Makiki reservoir, where Superin-
tendent Brown has pump running

was elected. 4 few witnesses were
examined, with the object of prov
