Building castles

Did you ever lay the bases for castle in the
air, and add thereto story after story, turret
after turret Then IN your minds eye sild
the dome and Spires and lot the sunshine
focus its luminous light thereon2 At night
you can light il up with incandescents, and
as tho armament above is studded with
myriads of stars, and the moon adds its luster
to the scene Ahl When you come to think Of
1t. isn't IL better TO build castles, to enjoy in
expectation what in realization may not prove
so good in comparison, rather than TO build
bridges that you will never cross, dig ably sses
and ravines down which you will never fall,
and all the time be- moaning about imaginary
ills, rather than laughing at possible things
which are as apt to happen as not Think it
over

Human Family Statistics.

The estimated population OF the
world on January /, 1895, was J, 700,
100000.
Taking the world over, there is an
average of one death and one and
one-fourth births per second. ONLY
one-half of:all who. are born into the
world live to the age OF II years. ~
Vital statistics tprove that, taking
the world over there are 100 women to
every 100 men. Out of every nine
sudden deaths reported eight of the
number are men.
The microscope shows that the
human body is covered with scales,
each scale covering 500 pores.
Only six persons cut of each 1000
norm live to be Is years old, and only
me out of the same number reaches
The century mark.
Figures by experts in vital statistics
prove that not less than 4,S47 100000
human beings die on our globe each
century.
The latest anthropological statistics
prove that in America the daily,
monthly and yearly number of births
exceed the deaths at the ratio of 3 to |

science and Gold Extraction.


Norm AMERICAN lteFts7N.
There is an idea prevalent that techni-
cal science is rapidly bringing pro-
cesses of gold extraction TO such peTfec-
ton that almost the ultimate portion OF
value can be obtained by methods as
rap5d as they are ingenious. The sug-
gestion Is frequently made by writers
in the press that a mining district, a
chamber OF commerce a state or even a
national government, should offer a large
reward for the discovery Of a new pro-
cess suitable TO the simple treatment of
complex ores. X is hoped that some
heaven-sent revelation win be vouch-
safed TO some dreaming metallurgist
which shall revolu tionize all pre-exiss-
ing methods and get 100 per cent of The
value contained IN the poorest and most
peTverse OF goli-bearing material. Suc:

OARsMAN TAKE TO WATER.
>. A. {. Crew Preparing For the July
Regatta Plenty of Boats.

The Seattle Athletic Club crew rowed
four miles on Lake Washington Sunday
afternoon and was coached by George
Carter from James Blackistone's launch
Tramp. and the club is making prepara-
Pacific Northwest regatta. Arrangements
have been made with Messrs. Lake and
Einlinson, owners of boat houses. TO Sc
cure the use OF their double sculls for any
regattas that the Seattle Athletic Club
may be able to hold and William Browneli
Goodwin also owns a pair oar Thus
there are four boats. which will give
eight men a chance TO row in a race. II is
proposed TO put eight men in for a one-miIe
race, then another eight for a mile and to
let the two winners row the third mile for
first place. There are also five gigs with
which the same programme can be car
ried out for five men as with eight.
1t is hoped to have races every Saturday
that the water is smooth and baseball
does not interfere The merits of the men
and the speed of the boats will thus be
obtained and proper handicaps determined
upon, and on July IL Is proposed to have
a grand club regatta Owing to the smok-
er this coming Friday and the Victoria
sports on Saturday. there will be no races
this week but there Is good prospect OF
some on April 90 1t will not be necessary
for the men 10 go into strict training nor
to give themselves up to hard practice in
oruer TO enter these contests.
If possible there will be canoe padding
races at the time of the regatta.

say. But of the roads named our records
show that lal. with a total proposed
length of 2.9Ss miles were either wholly
or partly graded or under contract at
the commencement of the year, and IL
seems reasonable 10 suppose that. with
the addition of other lines. something like
this mileage OF new track may he added
during 1926 with a possibility OF much
more II good times are restored. II is
interesting to find that the table above
shows that new railways are demanded
in every one of the IS states and terri
tories. with the exception of little Rhode
Island and mountainous Idaho while the
number and length of projected lines In
some OF these sections Is surprisingly
large: as for example in Texas 2,9l2 miles
on 81 lines: California 1890 miles. IL lines;
Arkansas 1877 miles. q lines: Wisconsin
S63 miles, IL lines: South Dakota SSS miles.
lines: Florida 7T5 miles. II lines. Penn
sylvania 76S miles - lines: Georgia 7eo
miles, II lines; West Virginia 70S miles. IA
lines. Indian territory So miles. { lines:
Indiana 565 miles. lines; Colorado so
miles. Il lines. and so on.
Evidently railway building has not
ceased. and when il is remembered that
TO give the United States as many miles
OF railway in proportion to area as Great
Britain now has its mileage must reach
$4,000 miles; that taking Illinois as the
standard il must aggregate $4,000. miles;
and that TO equal the average Of Massa-
chusetts our railway system must foot
up 7720o9 miles. IL will be seen that the
railway promoter. the railway contractor
and the railway supplyman have much
business yet TO anticipate.
