relatives and $50 in gold, with other

she died, and the $50 included her wed

NEW FIELDS FOR NoveLlsrs.
why Does Not Some Writer Uso nm Eskimo

The division of the earth among con-
temporary novelists has not as yet in
cluded Greenland. where some new
writer can lay the scene Of n story In
which the heroine will wear soalskin
trousers and calm her troubled heart
with mighty drafts of train oil.
Neither has any novelist seized upon
China, where great things may yet ho
done by story teller who really knows
something of that modern and multitude
nous sphinx, the Chinaman.
But with these exceptions there Is
very little desirable territory which is
not pre- .empted. This of course greatly
hampers new novolists who are com.
PEELED to write novels dealing only with
English men and women at home.
England is the common possession of
everybody, and even the American writer
who does not wish to initiate either Mr..
Harte or Mr.. Howells is compelled to
lay the scene of his stories in London
or in some one of tho many little Eng
lish colonies to be found in continental
cities.
The English novelist who wishes to
write story characterized by some little
novelty is reduced to inventing Dodos or
other fabulous creatures, an attempt
which fails more frequently than it sue.

to concentrate the attention for any

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.

An Easy Matter to Float ON the Surface Of

The Dead sea, or more properly tho
Salt sea, is also called in Scripture tho
sea of tho Arabah in tho Apocrypa, the
Sodomitish sea;in the Talmudical books
sea of Salt and sea of Sodom. The
name Dead sea seems to have been first
used in Greek, and the Arabic name is
Bar Lut, or the sea of Lot. 1t has n
length varying from 40 to 40 miles and
is only about three miles across at its

"As for tho Dead sea, it will, in con.
