DELAUNAY's SAD FATE.
= Presentiment of His Death That
Was Strangely FULFILLED.

y Presentiment of His Death That
Was Strangely FULFILLED.
Delaunay, the director Of the Paris
observatory, was one Of the most kindly
and attractive men ever met, SAYS
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At.
lantio. I found 1t hopeless to expect
that he would ever visit America, be-
cause he assured me that he did not
dare to venture on the ocean. The only
voyage he had ever made was across the
channel to receive gold. medal of the
Royal Astronomical society for! his
work. 81 i5.a .14 ttsS
Two Of his relatives, his father, and,
I believe, his brother, had been drown
ed, and this fact gave him q horror Of
the water. He seemed to feel somewhat
as the clients Of the astrologists, who,
having been told how they were to die.
took every precaution to prevent it. I
remember, as q boy, reading history of
astrology, in which great many cases
OF this sort were described, the peou-
Narity being that the very measures
which the victim took to avoid the de-
cree Of fate became the engines that ex-
eouted it.
The sad fate Of Delaunay was not ex-
actly case OF this kind, yet 1t could
not but bring 1t to mind. He was at
Cherbourg In the autumn Of 1879.
Walking on the shore with a relative,
couple Of boatmen invited them to
take a sail Through what induoement
Delaunay was led to forget his fears
will never be known. All we know is
that he ventured into the boat, that it
was struck by sudden squall when at
some distance from the land, and that
all the members Of the party were
drowned.

PRECIOUS METALS.
. 7177757 - , ~ . '-'1'z5-. :. Y
NO. 3,5.

Gold and Platinum Are Cheap ConHs
pared With Some of Them.
"The majority Of people when asked
to name the most precious metals usu-
ally mention gold as first, platinum az
second and silver as third, - said the
proprietor Of large assaying and refln-
Ing establishment to the writer recently.
"Now, let us see how near the truth
they would be. Gold is worth about
$3.50 pw pound troy. platinum $3.50,
and silver about $12.
I'VE will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less we'll
known metals. To take them in alpha
betioal order barium, the metal which
Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in
1908, sells for $3.50 pound when it is
sold at all, and calcium ia worth 81, 800
pound. Cirium is shade higher. It's
cost is $160 an ounce, or 81, 920 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu-
lous prices, but they do not reach the
highest point, chromium being 5000.
Cobalt falls to about half the price Of
silver, while didymium, the metal iso-
lated by Masander, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium, which
Is worth $8,250 an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, and
it may we'll be called the rarest and
most precious Of metals.
"Glucium ia worth $3.50 per ounce;
indium, $3.50; iridium, 1868 pound;
janthanium, $175, and lithium, $3.50
per ounce. Nidium costs $12s per ounce;
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas.
sium and rhodium bring respectively
$840, $400, $3.50, $50 and $512 per
pound. Strontium costs $12S an ounce;
tantaum, $144; tilurium, SO; thorium,
$272; vanadium, $3.50; yttorium, $144,
and zinconium, $3.50 an ounce.
"Thus we see that the commonly re-
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Ba-
rum is nearly four times as valuable as
gold and gallium more than 100 times
as costly, while many of the other met.
ais mentioned are twice and thrice as
valuable. Aluminium, which cost 98
and 80 a pound in 1890, is now pro-
duced as cheaply as are iron, zinc, lead
and copper. "-Washington Star.

Cuba, arrived here during the day on
the Ward line steamer Seguranca.
General Garcia and the commission
ers were given an enthusiastic welcome
by the members of the local branch of
the Cuban junta, who went down the
bay on the tug Atlantic to meet the
Seguranca and when the veteran gen.
eral came down the gangplank at the
Ward line dock he was
Greeted With Rousing Cheers.
1t was with great difficulty that the DO
lice cleared the way for the party to
reach the street, SO dense was the
crowd. General Garcia, when seen on
the steamer, said he was delighted to be
in New York again and that he looked
forward with pleasure to the commits
sion's call on President Mckinley.
81 will go to Washington in day or
two to see the president, and after my
work in the United States is accom-
plished will return to Cuba
"The Cubans have noother feelings for
the Americans than those of friendship
and gratitude. As for myself, believe

Cuba, but not forever. I am for free
Cuba and so are all other Cubans. There
is no sentiment on the island for annex
alton. All Cubans have faith in Mr..
Mckinley. EG
"The commission of which am the
head is not going to Washington with
any propositions for the presidents con-
slderation. We are going there to tell
Of the country and to better the ar
rangements for the dis6anding of the
troops, collecting the customs duties
and the establishment of postoffice
system. American occupancy is a
necessity--but not forever"
General Garcia said that he was in
sympathy with General Buffers plan to
employ Cuban soldiers as police.

Corb~ttr trsharkey Fight Given to tile Latter
on u Foul in the Ninth.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 28.-The Sharkey-
Corbett fight, which was witnessed by
the largest. and most representative
gathering Of sporting men that ever
congregated to see ring contest, ended
in a most disgraceful fasco at the
Lenox Athletic club. Corbett had all
the worst of the encounter when one of
his seconds, Connie" Mcvey, jumped
into the ring, appealing to the referee,
thus violating the rules, and the referee,
"Honest John" Kelly, had no alterna-
tive but to disqualify Corbett and
award the bout to Sharkey. McVey's
interference was absolutely inexcusable
and the referee, believing that there
was ''sjob" in Mcvey's action, took it
upon himself to declare all bets off.
The fight lasted nine rounds.

The very finest of doors are made

Even when made Of mahogany or some

Of plain, stroight grained mahogany,
while the sases are veneers Of fine

In the fnsst doors the body is made
of selected White pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in
to narrow strips and then glued to-
gether. The outer edges Of this door are
faced with what is called veneer, but
which is really a strip of the fine wood
half an inch or more in thickness. The
inner edges Of the frame, by the panels,
are covered in the same manner with
thick strips. in which the ornamental
holdings or carvings are made and
which are grooved to receive the panels
This built up frame of white pine,
with edges of the fine wood, is then
veneered with the fine wood. In some
lighter doors the panels may be of solid
mahogany, but, in the finer, larger and
heavier doors the panels also are made
Of sheets Of white pine with veneering
of the fine wood, so that the entire door
is veneered.
It would be difficult, If not impossi-
BILE, to procure at any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods Of
sufficient size tox the larger doors. The
built up and yeneered door Of pine
wood however, has every appearance
of . solid door and, made Of selected
veneers, it may be more beautiful than

iceable and remains longer perfect. It's,
cost is about half what solid door
would cost.-New York Sun.
