A COURAGEOUS DAUGHTER.
How Little Gabrielle Greeley Cross
ed the ocean Alone for Her Moth
er's Sake.
BY CLEVELAND MoFFErr.

Copyright. 1896, by Cleveland Moffet.)
1t was in the year before the presi-
Dental election when Horace Greeley
was a candidate. Little Gabrielle Gree
ley was 13 years old, one of the most
beautiful childr. IN in New York. and
one Of the most lovable. Some friends
of the family had just returned from
Europe with bad news about the health
of Mrs. Greeley, who was visiting in
London with her daughter Ida
One of the returning travellers while
calling at the Greeley home, seeing lit
tie brown-eyed Gabrielle, drew the child
close to her, and said with i'll judged
compassion:
Poor little darling, I am afraid you
will never see your mamma again"
Tears came into the child's eyes and
a pain like knife stab went through
her heart. All that night she thought
of her mamma, far away over the
ocean, thought of those cruel words,
and with all the strength of her child's
will determined that she would see her
mamma, if she had to travel all the

Greenllorns Are Lucky.

There is an axiom among mining
prospectors that while knowledge OF
mineralogy is a first necessity for
man starting out to hunt for the
precious ore, yet the richest finds are
often made by the rankest tenderfoot.
1t is well illustrated in recent rich
find near Salt Lake City, Utah. Willard
Weihe, violin soloist in the Taber-
nacle, was walking in City Creek can
yon, On the outskirts OF the city, when
ne kicked aside some rock that struck
him as being unusual in appearance.
Out of pure curiosity he carried a piece
of the rock back to town and had it
assaycd. 1t showed $500 in gold and
$40 in silver to the ton. Weihe was so
much surprised he almost tainted.
Then, when he recovered, he hurried
back to where he found the rock, with
cut mentioning the matter to anyone,
and staked out large number Of
claimS for himself and friends. Now a
considerable camp has sprung UP, and
the workings bear out the promise in
Weihe's chance strike.

LIQUID Fuel for nrltaln,s Flsess.


The British admiralty has taken ar

Portsmouth, be fitted for the consump.
ton of liquid fuel. Success has attend
ed the experimental use of various
forms of liquid fuel in several navies,
notably in the Italian, Russian and
German services. The Italians have
put into all their new ships petroleum
burners on a system invented by an
italian engineer named Cunlbertl,
whose system has also been adopted by
the German government with satlsfac-
DRY results, the fuel used being not

n. the use of which, in connection
It'll Cunibertis burners, is said to be
most economical while it can be burnt
without producing smoke, an obvious
advantage from a naval point OF view.
1t is curious that the use of liquid fuel
has come so slowly TO the front, consld-
ering that experiments with CunlDera's
apparatus were carried out at Spezzla
in 1892, and that NJ. Weyl, the well
known French naval expert and edi-
tor of LIE Yacht, was enthusiastic in Its
favor four years ago. It is anticipated
that before long the use of some form
of petroleum fuel will be general
throughout the navy as it has the en-
rmous advantage of increasing the ra-
lius of action of a war vessel by some
so or 70 per cent, and further, will
probably go some way towards solving
the difficult problem of replenishing
fuel supplies at sea.
