Wood PnID Mosaics.

The process pursued in Germany by
manufacturers of varicolored wood pulp
mosaics is said to give the most perfect re-
suits in that beautiful art. Among the
most important features is that of placing
the moist pulp into heated mosaic molds
of the desired shape and size, and in these
forms it is placed under the press. As re-
suit of the heat the shellac in the mixture
softens, regaining its adhesive powers, and
the curd cement hardens rapidly, so that
both of the substances the shellac as we'll
as the cement, unite under the pressure so
entirely with the wood particles that the
resulting wood mass may within a few
minutes be taken out of the molds without
losing the form received. After the cool
ing process and complete hardening these
mosaics it is claimed, are far less suscep-
tiblo to any change of temperature or to
moisture than any of the natural woods.

The Mammoth May Roam Its Forests and
Volcano May Be Active There.
Yukon, which is tho present Mecca OF
placer miners in Alaska, is a land not only
of gold, but of wonders also Some of the
miners who have returned bring strange
accounts of curiosities in nature. A miner
on Sixty Mile creek found a .tusk Of q
mammoth that projected seven feet out of
q sand bank, and another found single
tusk so heavy that he could scarcely lift it.
Nearly the whole of the Yukon basin fur
nishes fossils, and some of the miners be-
lieve that the uncxplored country toward
the head of the Copper river yet contains
living specimens, as tales arc told by In
dams of that region of huge wOOlly beasts
with horns like the trunk of birch tree.
They say that in winter puffs of steam is
sue from the nOstrils of these monsters rs
from the escape pipe Of q steamboat.
During the shortest days of winter, for
period of about 90 days, at Forty Mile
Post, the sun does not make it's appear
anco above the horizon, although at mid
day there are from three to four hours of
twilight. The northern lights glow with
the utmost brilliancy, on the other hand,
and help very materially to drive away the
darkness and desolation of the dreary land.
During the summer season the order of
things is reversed, and on the longest days
in June, for about three weeks, the sun
does not disappear On the shortest win
ter days the thermometer ranges from 90
degrees to 20 degrees below zero, and on
the longest summer days from 60 degrees
to 90 degrees above in the shade. The ex.
istence Of active volcanoes in the Yukon
basin is asserted by Indians, who say that
a very high peak, situated near the head
of White river, is at times in a state Of
eruption. White river drains high,
mountainous country and its waters are
extremely muddy, being laden with a
white, CLASSY substance called volcanic
ash, which is carried down from point
near the head of the stream, section Of
the country where no white man s foot has
ever trod. According to Dr. Dawson, tina
deposits Of ash are of recent date. He be-
lieves that the eruption which deposited
the ash did not take place in the coast
range. All evidence goes to show that it
occurred near or at the hcadwaters of the
White river and to Indicate the possibility
of an active volcano there at the present
time New York Sun.

Mrs. John D. Rockefeller VIII Give Them
Away at Her Daughters Marriage.


Away at Her Daughters Marriage.
Ono of the richest of all the women of
the world, so rich that tho story Of her
money reads like a fable, is busy today
helping the poor of her neighborhOod.
Picture her walking rapidly along country
roads with her arms filled with strange
packages and smile for the country folk
who pass. If it is afternoon, think of her
doing her daily hospital work. for never Is
she so far removed from the city that she
cannot take carriage and train from her
country house and spend an hour in hos
pital work, her favorito charity. And at
night-yes, now you have caught her nap
ping from good work, for she has society
dutios-in the midst of all her talk
you will hear words about Est. Luke's
mission, " "Bible class and "a boy who
needs crutches" or an invalid who must
have 500 for wheel chair right away.
This wealthy samaritan is Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller. And no time in all her life
was sho ever more active in charitable
work than this month. Her daughter
Ediths marriage to Harold Mccormack,
son of the reaper man, is the talk of the
social world across the entire continent
And partly to concentrate the event and
partly from thankfulness that her favorite
daughter has found so true heart in re-
turn for her own this good woman has
been dcvoting half of each day to helping
those who have no such cause to be happy
There is a rumor that on the day of her
daughters marriage Mrs. Rockefeller will
give away 40 trousseaus to the daughters of
Hudson river farmers She will certainly
fete them, for the invitations have been
sent out, and 1t will be no wonder, so
greatly do the Rockefellcrs desire to please
their humber neighbors, if the popular
young bride and handsome bridegroom
dance upon the green with the farmer lads
and lasscs, as the tenanty of England
dance upon their landed estates.
The bride herself on this occasion will
give away more than she receives, for she
has conceived the idea of giving all her
Sunday school scholars vacation trip
simultaneously with her own wedding
journey.
The celebrating of events in her own
family has always been a popularity Of
Mrs. Rockefeller, and beth the sad and the
joyous have been COMMUNICATED. A few
years ago she lost a daughter, a beautiful
girl the present age of Miss Edith, and
chastened by the hand of God she did not
forget to thank him for the mercies that
remained. Those in attendance upon the
sick girl were all given large sums of
money, enough for comfortable lifetime
allowance, and the physician who had been
so attentive to her, and who was one Of
the yachting party intended to restore the
sick girl, received fortune of $4,000 as
his Exchange.

MRS. LANGTRY's DIVORCE SUIT.
Her Second Heroic Attempt to Get Rid of
Her Husband.

Her Second Heroic Attempt to Get Rid of
Her Husband.
The divorce suit which Lily Langtry
has been long contemplating against her
husband will be begun shortly in San
Francisco. Her lawyers, who have had in
their possession Mrs. Langtry's papers,
have forwarded them to Dunn & McPike,
Mrs. Langtry's lawyers in San Francisco,
with instructions to take the necessary
steps for the beginning of the suit at once.
The action must be begun in San Fran
cisco, as. Mrs. Langtry has her legal resi-
dence in Lake county, Cal.
This will be Mrs. Langtry's second at
tempt to obtain a divorce from her hus-
band, Edward Langtry, an Irishman, who
married the actress 81 years ago.
The first suit was begun a year after
Mrs. Langtry had leased small cottage on
Liberty heights in San Francisco with a
view to becoming legal resident. In or
der to avoid publicity Mrs. Langtry's in
tention to become a citizen of the United
States was taken by clerk Of the United
States circuit court in Mrs. Langtry's cot
tage.
After the filing Of the divorce complaint
the method Mrs Langtry employed in be-
coming a citizen of this country was chal-
lenged by Mr.. Langtry's lawyers. The
case was before the late Judge Sawyer
and he decided that Mrs. Langtry was not
citizen. The divorce suit was then drop
ped by Mrs. Langtry. She has taken every
precaution this time to insure success.

Cows lIilk IA Food.

A physician, writing in a recent num-
Der Of hygienic publication, states that
cows milk is not fit food for the human
stomach. He says that it forms into curds
in the stomach, which are indigestibe and
cannot be properly assimilated. He says
further that it is food only suitable for
the animal for which it is intendcd-the
calf-which, having several stomachs, can
properly dispose of it, This, rs far as it
goes, appears to be an overturning of the
hygienic teaching heretofore in respect to
foods. 1t has been impressed on the hui
man mind that cows milk is the ideal
food, containing all the constituents nee
essary for human sustenance. Persons
have complained from time to time that it
did not agree with them that it produced
biliousness and that they could not drink
it, but tho only reply was some plying
comment on the state of their stomach,
with the remark that 1T doesn't agree
with some persons" The physician who
advances the new theory insists that it does
not agree with anybody.

A WOMAN HERMIT.
She Lived the Life of ReCluse on Flor.
ida's Coast.

The death of Mrs. Harvell has brought
to q close most remarkable career. She
was known far and wide as the "fcmale
hermit of the west coast" For nearly 20
years Mrs. HarGell has lived along the
coast with no companion save dog. She
Stunned all intercourse with her fellow
creatures and it seemed to anger her
when any ono spoke to her.
Persons who came here 20 years ago
found Mrs. Harvoll living by herself in
the deserted fish camps along the coast,
her food being principally shellfsh and
other products of the sea. She lived thus
until few weeks ago, when she became
too ill to get about and was cared for by
the good people of Penellas Even in her
last illness she repealed every one by her
unreasoning md morbid pcrverseness.
About her past life Mrs. Harvell could
never be induced to talk at length. There
seemed to be some memory connected
with the past which made it very bitter.
1t is said that she was the daughter Of a
prominent Mississippi family and was
reared in luxury. That she had been finely
educated her conversation showed The
old settlers say that when she was about
10 years old she was married to the cap
tain of one of the palatial steamboats, that
piled the Mississippi in those days Her
husbands headquarters were in st. Louis,
and they made that place their home
Some years after her marriage, the story
goes, there was trouble between Mrs. Har-
veil and her husband. 1t is said the latter
accused her unjustly and that she became
so enraged that she left her luxurious
home to become an outcast. Years ago
she drifted to Florida and has since lived
the life of recluse. In spite of the life
she led the face of Mrs. Harvell bore traces
of what must have been in her youth re-
markable beauty. Florida Times Union.

Honesty Rewarded In This Life.

1.-THE case presented in last nights pa
per of reward of $40 being paid for the
return of $50 reminds me of similar an
ecdotc-only different" said the ancient
New England member Of tho club this
morning. at happened in Providence, r.
l., 40 years ago, when the city contained
but one millionaire, who was an OLE
Scotchman named Alexander Duncan.
One day Mr.. Duncan, in leaving his Office,
dropped large roll of bank notes in the
street. They escaped his eye, but not that
of the small boy who is around every
where and who pounced upon the bills
Immediately. The roll contained $780,
When Mr.. Duncan received it he eagerly
counted the money, and finding it correct,
he turned to the boy and said: Il thank,
We, my little man. Then noticing the
look of dismay in the poor lads counte-
nance, he felt in his trousers pocket and
fished out coin, which he handed to the
finder of his wealth. And the coin repre-
sesnted-what do you thinkY
Give dollars"
"a dollar"
"a half dollar"
"A quarter of dollar"
Just half of that. 1t was an old Span
ish coin that we used to call ninepence
in New England and that you called a
shilling in New York. In other words, it
was 1917 cents which Alexander Duncan,
the millionaire of Providence, paid to the
honest boy who found and returned to him
$500. Utica Observer.
