THREW AWAY A FORTUNE.
A Man Who Lost $4,000 Worth of
Ambergris.

Man Who Lost $4,000 Worth of
Ambergris.
The little town of Digby, N. s., is
very much excited at present over the
finding of some ambergris by Mr.. Isaiah
hinghorn, fisherman who lives IN
Granville, small village across the
river from Digby. Mr.. Kingdom was
in conversation with a st. John Tele-
graph reporter and told the story of his
ind. He had been rowing along the bay
shore at Granville in his boat and no.
tlced some STUFF floating on the water.
1t looked to him like tallow. He took il
into his boat and rowed to his home at
Granville, where he tried to boil it down
TO make soft soap. Failing to do so, he
threw the remainder of the supposed
tallow away. He had about 100 pounds
OF the material in all, he estimates. and
had only kept six pounds of it after the
rest had been destroyed. He was told
that it was a very valuable article. and
IN consequence he brought sample 10
st. John, where it was shown TO a drug
gist, who offered for it price which
by no means approached it's value.
Mr.. Kingdom went back to Digby By
the steamer Prince Rupert and took
the ambergris to local druggist, who,
after close examination identified II.
and on looking up the price list found
that 1T was worth three dollars per
ounce. The fisherman's feelings can
be imagined when he learned that he
had wasted about "a pounds of the am
bergris, which, had he kept it, would
have brought him for the lot S56.000
AS 1T is, he only has left about six
pounds, which will bring him when sold
the sum of So, 600.
Mr.. Kingdom left small piece with
the druggist, which weighs about az
ounces, and the latter will conduct the |
sale of the six pounds. The same which
was shown to the Telegraph reporter
at the drug store was broken from n |
lump weighing AZ pounds. 1t resembles
a piece of tallow very much. Ambergris
s solid fatty substance of dull grav |
color, the shades being variegated like
marble, and possesses peculiar sweet
earthly odor. 1t is a morbid secretion
ormed in the intestines of the sperma-
'eti whale, and is generally found float
ng on the seashore and in Jumps weigh
ng from one-half an ounce to 100
pounds. The sample is still in the
lands of the Digby druggist and will
probably be sent to the states, where
teal will be made for the whole. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Kingdom, who
gas SO lucky in making the find, is be-
ng congratulated from all quarters
lpon his rapid rise on the road to
wealth.

TEACHING THEM ENGLISH.


Young Foreigners Taught Our Language

The simple and effective method of
teaching English to the children of
Italians. Portuguese, Polish and Ger
man Jews, used profitably in the North
end schools of Boston, might profitabIy
be adopted by other cities which are
Obliged to face the fact that within
their borders are thousands of foreign
children who know nothing of the Gus
toms, institutions or language of this
country. A writer in the Boston Trans
cript thus describes the method:
The children, within few days after
their arrival, are sent to the public
schools, as rule without compulsion.
and here they are first of all taught
the English language. 1t is done by a
system of object lessons. The teachers
in the elementary rooms are Young
women, as men would not be patient
enough to accomplish the best results.
The teacher may point to her eye and
say: This is my eye," repeating it sew
eral times and requiring the pupils to
repeat it IN unison. Other portions of
the body are pointed out in a similar
manner, and then familiar objects in
the room are in the same way brought
TO the attention of the children.
Later, when they have made sufficient
progress in the language, it becomes
desirable to teach the different lenses.
10 accomplish this boy or girl is ii-
rected 10 run slowly around the room.
when the teacher and children saw in
unison:
THE boy is running" repeating the
sentence several times. The boy is
then told to halt, and the teacher and
pupils say in unison: THAT bow did
run" Again: "That boy is standing
still,' "That boy can rum" sThat bow
is walking" THAT boy walks fast 81
can walk" II can rum" 81 did walk"
etc.
These and other sentences, as they are |
spoken, are written on the blackboard |
oy the teacher and the pupils write
them on their states. Thus they are
taught the language and taught to
spell, read and write almost simulta
neously.

The DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.
The Cost of Columbus First Voyage Esti-
mated TO Have Been About 81 800.

The Cost OF Columbus First voyage Estlr
mated TO Have Been About $1,000.
A German geographer, Prof. Ruge,
has busted himself in attempting to am
swer the interesting question what it
cost to discover America. The records
Of the cost of the caravels themselves
do not seem to be extant, but the arch
ives of Palos show what was the
amount paid for the actual expenses of
the voyage. 1t foots up 100000 mar
avedis, but what was the purchasing
power of the maravedi at the end of
the fifteenth century, or how it can be
translated into modern terms, seems
much more difficult than in respect to
the medieval coinage of some other
countries than Spain.
The researches of the German pro-
fessor lead him to the conclusion, how
ever, that the first voyage cost, as
nearly as possible, $1,000. The items.
of this expenditure are not less curious
than the extreme modesty of the ag-
gregate. The yearly pay of the lad
mirar' was $500; of the captains, S192
each; of the pilots, from S1S2.50 to
9153.5O, and of surgeon, but 1885,
The ships surgeon was then, apparent7
ly, as he sometimes is now, medical
student who was more eager for adj
venture than for profit. AS for the sail
ors, their monthly allowance was some-
thing less than $3.50.
Considering the revenue to Spain
itself within the two centuries that
followed the discovery in gold and sill
yer alone, the return from the outlay
upon Columbus expedition makes that
outlay perhaps the most profitable
commercial operation in the history of
the world, says the New York Times.
The voyage itself will be admitted to-
have been astonshingly cheap. 1t is.
to be hoped that an accurate account
has been kept and will be published
of the expenses of the voyage which
has just been made by the reproduced
caravels, so that a parallel may be,
drawn in this respect also. Even from
the fifteenth century point of view it is
evident that the voyage of Columbus
was too small an affair to attract the
attention of the politicians. There.
was nothing in it for them. In fact,
the Quitting of tho expedition that
discovered America was an undertake
ing so petty that it would not now at.
