The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been IA
nous for its rich tin mines, which are
controlled by the Dutch government. In
describing the geology of Billion be-
fore the Royal Academy Of Sciences in
Amsterdam recently Mr.. Verbeek gave
an account Of the mysterious "glass
balls of Billion" which are found
among some of the tin ore deposits.
They are round, with grooved surfaces.
Similar balls are occasionally found in
Borneo and Java, as we'll as in Aus
tralia. Mr.. Verbeek thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volc, A,ic bombs. Besides, he
says, the CLASSY rocks produced by the
nearest volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material Of the
balls. He suspected that the mysterious
objects were elected ages ago from the
volcanoes of the moon and afterward
fell upon the earth.

Near TillamoOk, Ore, an old German

some distance out on the sand, fast

A FAMOUS BAKERY.
How the hollands Became Cakemakei
For the Royal Family.

How the hollands Became Cakemakers
For the Royal Family.
In IL of the old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint of Queen
Anne's time in Chester, England, is a
bakeshop--not an ordinary bakeshop,
for the royal arms jut out from the sec.
ond story, and Immediately above is a
sign bearing the name "Bollands."
And the proximity of the sign to the
royal arms is no idle commercial myth
to insnare new customers.
In fhe annals Of the tradesfolk of
Chester there never was a greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
owner Of the b~akeshop. In 1886 the
Duchess of Kent and her young daugh-
ter, the Princess Victoria, visited the
city for the purpose of officially opening
O new bridge that was to bring all
kinds Of Importance and prosperity to
the town. OF course it was an immense
event for Chester, and every one did
something to make the visit of the
great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitious, but
poor. and he churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method of
showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit. In a happy moment he decided to
make some small cakes of transcendent
excellence, put them in a fancy box and
present them to the young princess.
Happy thought Potent cakesl Great
Bollandl
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one of the first
acts after her accession in 1897 was the
appointment Of Bolland as one of the
queens warrant holders. So much for
the power of a box of small cakes.
How long the flavor of those cakes
fingered in the royal memory is shown
by the fact that 20 years later, when
the Prince of Wales was to be married,
Victoria gave a commission to Bolland
to prepare the wedding cake for that
great event. 1t was no ordinary we'd
ding cake that Mr.. Bolland produced
eithers and its exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng
lish bride of wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake.
y Descendants of the original Bolland
now conduct the shop. but they use the
same recipe that proved SO successful in
the days of Victoria's childhood, and
still bake cakes for the royal family

the law was not only crude, but also
bad, and that the people will demand
its repeal at the hands of the next Legis-
lature. 1t is his opinion that the dis
satisfaction with the law helped to bury
the school tax.
Governor Jarvis thinks that the vote
on the school tax also shows in a large
measure the disgust of the people with
the legislation that the Republicans and
their allies gave us. The disgust was
so general that the people only want a
chance to vote to forever bury the fell
lows who have brought bad government
and disgrace to the State.
1T is impossible for the Republican
party" he said, ito give the State good
government. The negroes are incapable
of giving it to us, and the men they
elect cannot do better. The creature is
no better than the creator. We will
not have return to peaceful and quiet
good government in the State until the
white people resolve to come together as
in 1876, and redeem the State from evils
now that are as bad as we suffered
then.
Il have faith" he said, that there

lance with the negroes. They see

help redeem the State"

SUNDAY CLOSING ORDINANCE.
The Chief of Police Serves Notice on the

Chief of Police Norwood yesterday
had printed on heavy card board the
city ordinance Chapter Z, section 3 in
regard to Sunday closing, and distributed
it among druggists and other merchants,
giving notice that from and after this
date it will be strictly enforced. The
ordinance reads:
ANY person who shall open any shop
or store on Sunday, for the purpose of
buying or selling, except in cases of ne
cessity, shall be fined FIFTY Doll
LARS; and if any store shall be found
open it shall be (prima facie) evidence
that the same was opened by the pro-
prietor for the purpose OF selling, but
drug stores may be kept open at all
times on Sunday for the sale of drugs,
medicines and mineral waters only"
Some of the druggists and others
whom it principally affects declare that
they will retaliate by stopping the sale
Of ice and watermelOns, under this law,
on Sunday, and thus make it SO I'M
popular that it will either be repealed
or not be enforced.

Asked about politics, Mr.. Jones said
he stopped over in Raleigh just to get
the political news at the centre before
going home. He finds the public sentl-
ment running strongly towards the Dem
ocratic party and believes that the peo-
pie are coming around to see that it is
