VARIETIES OF MARBLE.
Where the Different Kinds Are Found and
Their Relative Value.

Their Relative value.
The selection of marble for a monu-
ment is altogether a matter OF taste.
The finest statuary marbles are found
in Italy and Greece, but are very expen-
sive, costing from SIS to $40 per cubic
foot. In the United States good statuary
marble has for several years been quar-
ried at West Rutland, VT, where q
layer from three to four feet thick is in

directions. Toward the north it is finer

belt Of white marble extends along the
tanks of the A~llcghanies, through a
part Of Massachusetts, through New
York and Maryland and into Virginia
beyond the Potomac river. 1t is quarried
at various places in Westchester coun-
ty, n. Y, and at Baltimore. At Ca

other places in New England, good
building marble is quarried. Marble
from Leo was used for the extension of
the capitol at Washington. Variecated

thing very rapidly, but as rapidly as 1t
can, curling it's ~tentacles inward and
covering them over with its outer skin

But it is not disturbed by its friends.
In one Of the smaller glass tanks at the
city's aquarium at Castle Garden there
are several little sea anemones taken
from spiles and stones about the Bat
terry. In the same tank, almost within
reach of these anemones, are some COM
mon barnacles-little ones. half an inch
or SO in diameter. Lacking in beauty
as the barnacle may be, it is provided
with a most wonderful handlike men,

with which it sweeps the water for
food, the minute animalcul@ upon
which it feeds.
One of these barnacles is so close to
one of the little that when he
filings his net it almost or quite touches
the tips of the anemone's tentacles,
which spread like the most delicate and
feathery branches of the tiniest little
tree. But the anemone doesn't close up.
Not a bit. Here down deep in the tank
its branches wave in the gently agitat-
ed water, as, delicate as they are, they
might do in the gentlest zephyrs on the
land, and they az and wave a the
barnacle throws its net. Perhaps the
sea has its own benefit in mind
through all this, for it is quite probable
that the agitation Of the water brings

The political crisis in Norway and
Sweden at this time may seem peculiar
to those u~nacquainted with the situation
but it is no more strange than the
union itself of the two countries. 10 the
latter no provision was made for what is
now the cause of strife bet ween the two
peoples, namely; the direction of foreign
affairs and the appointment Of consuls
abroad. The Swedish parliament has
monopolized these appointments for the
Swedish nobility and Norway has had
no share in the representation OF the
kingdom in foreign countries. The peo-
pie of the latter nation have demanded
from time to time their rightful share in
this department OF government but the
king and his conservative ministry have
been obdurate in conceding it. Things
have now changed. The liberal party
which has for some time advocated Nor
wegian c~onsulates has now come into
power in the United Kingdom and now
demands for Norway its wi foreign
~consuls, entirely independent Of the
Swedish consuls. King Oscar does not
like this and demands that the liberal
party await his answer until he has con
ferred with his Swedish ministry. II
the king and his ministry do not
yield to the popular will, trouble will

HIGH LIFE

Son of Kentucky's Governor Killed by .
wronged Husband.
LOUISVILLE, May 2!-At separate IN
dertaking establishments in this city
lie the bodies Of perhaps two of the
most prominent people in the state OF
Kentucky-one that Of Archie Brown,
son and private secretary to Kentucky's
chief executive; the other Mrs. Fulton
Gordon, prominent because of her re-
markable beauty and excellent family
connections. The story is a sad n
and has caused one Of the greatest sem
sations this city or state has ever been
called upon to chronicle. The follow
ing telegram, found in MIR. Browns
pocket, no doubt is the direct cause OF
the murder:
Don't write m more. Come Tues
day. Meet me at s. F. NJ. g."
The Tragedy Occurs.
Upon receipt of the above telegram
Mr.. Brown came to Louisville from
Frankfort and proceeded to the APP
pointed place, which is an evil resort at
1925 Madison street, where at 1885
o'clock the tragedy occurred.
At noon Brown, with Gordon's wife,

were admitted and went to an upstairs
front room, which had been previously
engaged. Thirty minutes later a rather
tall, dark haired man knocked at the
door of the house and was admitted.
This was Fulton Gordon. The man
closed all the doors and a few minutes
later a commotion was heard above, fol-
lowed by q succession of pistol shots.
Then there was a hurried movement
down stairs as Mrs. Gordon fed from
the scene. A few more shots rang out

Treasury Officials Disappointed in the

..Most people think of the natives
OF tropical Africa as naked savages,
without any of the resources of civili-
zation," said an ex-missionary. "But
the fact is that many of the tribes are
acquainted with not few of the me-
chanical arts.
"You are probably aware that the
mining and working of iron have been
understood by the natives of that part
of the world ever since prehistoric
times. In Liberia the Mande are
smelters OF iron and workers in gold
and silver. They are also tanners oil
leather and weavers of cloth, and they
make an infinite variety. of domestic
articles. The Makolos are excellent
wood carvers, the Djoars are skillful
iron workers, and the Bechuanas are
good metal workers, fur dressers, and
architects.
The Baganidas of Victoria Nyanza
do beautiful work in brass, copper
and ivory. On the slave coast the
people OF Dahomey, who otherwise
po sess an unenviable reputation, are
accredited very respectable position
in industrial artisanship. Glassmak-
ing is not known among them. They
make cloths OF cotton and many other
textiles, and their dyes OF blue, red
and yellow owe their peculiar rich
ness to native coloring substances.
Tanning they also understand, and
they obtain salt from sea water by
evaporation.
"Among the tributaries Of the
White Nile at Sahara and Benghieh
are tribes OF natives as white as Euro.

hair. In Dahomey public prostitutes
were licen sed and the proceeds of the
tax paid into the public treasury
long before the practice was adopted
by modern legislatures and considered
as q radical departure in modern civ
ilization. Lord Beaconsield said OF
the Zulus: '.They have outwitted
our diplomats, outmaneuvered our.
generals and converted our mission
aries, and yet we call them savages."
Tie Mandegnas have attained 8
considerable degree of cultivation and
knowledge of the common arts.
Their musical instruments are the
flute, harp, bell, and drum. The
Veis of Liberia having obtained an
acquaintance with letters from con-
