desire to sell the $4,000, 600 palace
which he has just completed in New

it was only last year that the house be-
gan to get near completion. In the
meantime his health had become less
and less vigorous His age and his years
of hard work and worry began to tell
upon him. The superstition came back
with renewed force, and he began to
think a great deal about it. At last he
became absolutely convinced that should
he move in the first function to which
his friends would come would be his fu-

not even keep the house in the family.

Western Australia Stories Which Read Like
Fairy Tales.
The stories of wonderful gold discov-
cries i'll western Australia were con-
tirmed by All official dispatch Thursday.
The details Of the principal find near
Coolgardie had already reached Lon
don. A party OF six were returning from
an unsuccessful prospecting tour on May
s. When i'll camp one night, they sep
arated to test and examine the neigh
borhood A man named Mills came to
one of the many large elbows" which
are characteristic Of the country. He
was astOnished Oh rubbing his hand
across a protruding piece Of stone to see
gold standing out prominently. He
at his feet lay magnificent specimen
literally studded with coarse gold, while
before him, dazzling his eyes, was
magnificent reef of almost pure gold, a
fortune i'll itself. Mills, taking several
pieces from the reef, placed them III his
bosom, and carefully covering the reef
with earth found his mates. On the
next morning 20 acres were peSgeu OH,
and the adjoining blocks at each end
were also taken up. One man went to
town and bought a dolly, the largest he
could procure. In one day they dollied
|, 200 ounces, and in a short time had
nearly 500, 900 worth of ore. On June
23 they packed it i'll cart and landed
the treasure at the Union bank. The
manager weighed the gold, and it turn
ed the scales at 4, $50 ounces
A few days after the discovery be-
came public. One lump has been taken
from the reef containing more gold than
ore. 1t weighed 240 POUNDS and is
worth $40, 000 Of course there is i'm
mense excitement in the region, and
many other discoveries are reported, but
there is unlikely to be anything left for

CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST.

Force of Arms.

1T Was Acquired From the British by
Force of Arms.
In 1776. when independence was de-
clared, the United States included only
the Is original states on the seaboard.
With the exception of a few hunters,
there were no white men west OF the
Allegheny mountains, and there was
not even an American hunter III the
great country out Of which we have
since made the states OF ILLINOIS, lndl-
ana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. All
this region north of the Ohio river then
formed part of the province OF Quebec.
II was "a wilderness of forests and
prairies, teeming with gare and lnhab-
tied bv many warlike tribes of Indians.
Here and there through it were dot
ted quaint little towns Of French creoles,
the most important being Detroit, Vln-
cenues, on the Wabash, and Kaskaskla
and KahOkia, on the Illinois These
French villages were ruled by British
officers commanding small bodies OF reg
ular soldiers or Tory rangers and creole
partisans The towns were completely
in the power Of the British government.
None OF the American states had actual
possession Of foot of property i'll the
Northwestern territory.
The northwest was acquired at the
time Of tie Revolution only by armed
conquest, ard if it had not been so &C
uuired it would have remained a part Of
the British Dominion of Canada.
The man to whom this conquest was
due was a famous backwOods leader, a
mighty hunter, a noted Indian fighter
George Rogers Clark. He was IA very
strong man, with light hair and blue
eyes, Of IA good Virginian family, who,
early III his youth, embarked Oh the adj
VenturOus career of a backwOOds survey
or, exactly as Washington and so many
other Young Virginians of spirit did at
that period. He travelled out to Ken
lucky soon after it was opened up by
Boone and lived there for year, either
at the stations or camping by himself III
the woods, surveying, hunting and max
ing war against the Indians like any
other settler But all the time his mind
was bent Oh vaster schemes than were
dreamed Of by the men around him. He
had his spies cut in the Northwestern
territory and became convinced that
with a small force Of reSOlute back
woodsmen he could conquer it for the
United States. When he went back to
Virginia, Governor Patrick Henry en-
tered heartily into Clark schemes and
gave him authority to fit out force for
his purpose. Theodore Roosevelt in St

TIE DEVILS MOOSE"
A Gigantic Flesh Eating Plant That Is
Found In Nicaragua.

round NlcaFNSuo.
Carniyorous plants are certainly
among the curiosities of the vegetable
world. The poetical and religious LIN
npus, who had occasion to study the ny
catching peony, found, in his astonish-
ment. no other name to bestow upon IL
than this-Miraculum natur8 prodigy
of nature). Since the illustriOus Swedish
botanist the mechanism of carnlvOrous
nlants has been we'll studied, and par
ticularly by Darwin, who has devoted 60
these plants a remarkable work. They
are usually Of small dimensions, and 90
not attain the size of one described III
the ''Bolletino del Naturalist.
M. Fabiano Carlo tells there OF a 81
gantic carnivorous plant that has been
discovered on the shores OF Lake Mica
ragua by naturalist named Dunstan.
He discovered this curious plant in the
following manner: Travelling with his
dog, he heard the animal give vent to
cries of pain He advanced and found
his dog held by three black, sticky bands,
under which the skin was chafed till 1t
bled. These bands were the branches OF
a new carnivorous plant, which Dunstan
calls the ''land octopus . The branches
are flexible, polished, black, with0ut
leaves, secreting viscous fluid and fur
nished with a great number of suckers
by which they attach themselves to their
victims 1t might almost be believed to
be an octopus transformed into plant.
To extricate his dog Dunstan tried to
cut the branches, and succeeded, though
not without difficulty, and after having
his hands severely injured by the ten
tacles of the "land octopus. " AS may
be realized, observations under these con-
ditions were not convenient to make.
and the naturalist was able to get few
facts concerning this odd plant. He
proved the presence of numerous suckers,
and found that IT, fetid Odor of the
black sticky fluid that covers the branch
es serves to attract prey to the plant. He
also was able to note similarity Of char
acter with other carniyOrous plants.
For instance, the "land octopus" aban-
dons its prey after having sucked out the
nutritive elements. The natives OF Cen
trail America call this singular plant by
the appropriate name of "the devils

Sweet Peaa

Whether sweet peas can be success
fully planted in autumn depends largely
on the latitude, says Garden and For
est. In the southern states fall plant
ing Is necessity, for this is the only
way to give the plants cool soil in
which to make strong, early root
growth. Coming farther north, fall
planting is safe up to perhaps the lati
tude of Washington, where the chances
are about equal between planting in late
autumn and in February. In southern
California peas must be brought into
bloom as early as February, although
the nights are so cool there that they
may be planted during any month in
the year. The rule observed by the
large seed growers is to plant just ahead
Of the rainy season. Indeed they have
acres of volunteer sweet peas-that is,
from seed which were scattered on the
ground during the harvest-and A.
miles south of San Francisco these vol
unteer plants are in bloom by the LIST OF

Interesting Disclosures Made at the Con-

The ANIMAL disclosure of the latest
discoveries in various branches of science

British association, Oxford, is an inter
esting budget. Lord Salisbury's address
at the opening of the conference at
tracts widespread attention. He pro-
claimed himself a scientific agnost1c,
but the most remarkable feature of his
paper was his outlining Of the marvels
of unsolved problems to which modern
science is now devoting itself. He paid
sympathetic tribute to Darwin's great
work. but refused to acknowledge the
jellyfsh as his ancestor Oh any evidence
yet offered. He attacked Welssmann
theory of natural selection in evolution
and affirmed that the present day has
brought return to the belief that crea-
tive design was supreme.
1t has been in these meetings of the
several divisions of the convention that
the latest discoveries and theories have
been presented A year ago the blolo-
gists, who had believed for years that
they were on the point of solving the
mystery of life, acknowledged them
selves baffled. Now Professor Schaefer,

terms AN attraction particle. " 1t should
be remembered that when the biologists
discovered the cell principle OF life they
thought it impossible to subdivide these

scope has shown the existence Of this
small particle i'll each cell, which Is
itself a structure sui generis, having a
definite existence and definite function

A MERRY HEART.

Clear day or cloudy day,
Summer heat or cold.
A happy heart keeps holiday,
A merry heart is bold.
Though the wind of fortune blow
Out Of wintry skies.
Face it smiling as you go
A merry heart is wise.
By and by the sun will shine,
Day must follow night;
Darkest hour is the sign
OF returning light.
God is in his heaven still,
Though the world denies,
And CHEEKY courage waits on will
A merry heart is wise.
Over rugged things we climb
To our best estate;
We shall stumble many time,
But we conquer fate.
And we choose the better part
So that evil flies,
When we keep the dauntless heart,
The merry heart that's wise.
