Fashions for children's frocks and

at Vancouver, have just returned from
extended trips through the famed min.

'The prospectors are stick ing a little

A recent find that has excited great
deal of attention is the discovery of
an actual copper spring, now known
as the Red Blanket, in the Lilloeet

on the Canadian Pacific. The water

Wealth of Siam.

Vast treasures and rare opportuni'
ties of loot await the future conquerer
of Siam. The royal city, in which is
to be found the palace of the King Of
Siam, reminds the European visitor
OF conventional fairyland or the world
of the s'Arabian Mig hits. Everything
that in Europe is made Of glass or
china is there made OF solid gold. The
very pagoda in which the royal ian.
ily worship, and which is situated in
the gardens Of the palace, is made OF
marble studded with gems and the
precious metals. A statuette of Buddha
cut out of an emerald of fantastic size,
said to haves once belonged to the
Laotians, is in the temple and is sur
rounded by bushes of gold and silver.

each statue being clothed in silk gar

are the pagoda and the public or state

Chula.L ong.Korn, is IN exceptionally
enlightened humanitarian-that is to
say, he has practically abolished tor
ture, and the ordinary criminal is be-
headed instead of being slowly tor
tured to death, as was once customary.
The Siamese are lively people, and

great occasions sort of regatta takes
place, in which the whole population,
headed by the king and his children,
take part. NJ. Mury declares that at

Can Write 175 Words in Shorthand a
Minute. BlindfOlded.

John r. Gregg, teacher Of stenog-
raphy in Chicago, has succeeded in
writing shorthand blindfolded, and so
legibly that other stenographers are
able to read it at sight. He did this
a few days ago at meeting of teach
ers and students Of phonetics, where
the subject Of writing without the aid
of the eyes had come up incidentally.
Taking notes Of illustrated lectures
requires double attention. When the
lectures ore illustrated by stereopticon
the reporter is often in the dark,
which, of course, handicaps him
further. Mr.. Gregg said that no be-
lieved he could take notes without
seeing what he wrote upon. He was
blindfolded and wrote upon a black
board from dictation, at the rate Of
103 words minute. George Watson,
one of the best known stenographers
present, read extracts from letters
selected at random. When Mr.. Gregg
took the handkerchief from his eyes,
he had no difficulty whatever in read
ing what he had written. Those who
saw the work done said they were
satisfied that, with little practice, Mr..
Gregg could attain speed of 175
words, which would be ample for tax.

will certainly contain this improve

built on radically different principles,
so that staterooms will be built only
ON the upper or promenade deck and
none on the saloon deck. This ar

to leave his window open and give
more light and ventilation, SO that
