that she carried the art of friendship
character. Such %coquetry as she pos
sessed arose rather from a desire to
please than from any other motive.
There was one short and romantic
passage in her life when the ardent
admiration of Prince Augustus of
Prussia seemed to arouse a responsive
fame. But the faint passion died away
before the pathetic appeal of her hus-
band. The child-wife could not find it
in her heart to break off, when age and
adversely had settled upon him, the
platonic ties o? a more prosperous day.
Her relation with her husband was al
ways more flial than conjugal. The
banker was AZ and his beautiful bride
but Is when their marriage took place
in 1898. At IS her salon became the
center of wealth and taste, and her
beauty was the talk of all Paris. She
met the emperor but twice, and what
aver admiration her beauty may have
inspired in him seemed to have been
lost in the jealousy of her influence.
Napoleon was weak enough to give
out publicly in the salon of Josephine
that he should regard as his personal
enemy any foreigner who frequented
the house of Madame Recamier. Fear
ing her influence and yet polite to the
last degree, he made oyertures through
Fouche with the view of attaching the
beautiful woman to his imperial house
hold. Her refusal was never forgiven
by him and no doubt added weight to
his motives in exiting her beyond for
ty leagues of Paris in 1911. At the
bedside of Madame de Stael, Madame
Hecamier made the acquaintance Of
Chateaubriand, and between this in
teresting couple grew that friendship
which gave to the subsequent life of
each it's chief tone. Her friends trem-
tled for her peace of mind from con-
tact with so tumultuous a nature, but
her serenity and self-control became
the means of Christening and quieting
the passionate and disordered soul of
the poet. Idolized by his contempt
raries and spoiled by enthusiastic
women, Ch~ateaubriand had become
enamored of himself. Ee had sunk,
like Byron, into abject melancholy.
To dispel the cloud that absorbed his
genius, became the mission of Madame
Rccamier. In writing to her he said:
you have transformed my nature"
HIS self-absorption became less con-
spicuous and his irritability soothed.
The death of M. Recamier and also OF
Madame de Chateaubriand left the poet
free to offer his hand to the idol OF
his heart. why should we marry?"
was her reply to his proposal; she
probably felt the ridicule that might
attach to such a union. Years and the
blindness that had been stealing over
her seemd to confer the right Of hei
caring for him during his illness, and
at his bedside her anguish was in
tepsified by the thought that she could
not see his dying look. IN losing him

Steering by Echoes.

An interesting popularity of Alas
kan navigation is thus described by
Mr.. La Verne w. Noyes in the Chicago
Times-Herald. He extols the beauty
of the scenery and the smoothness OF
the water-by the inland steamer route
and says: The channel is t%ortuous
and full of rocks, and whenever a fog
is encountered every movement of the
ship is fraught with danger. l was
by a long blast of the steamers whis-
tie. This struck me as unusual, for
vessels are rarely met ON that trip,
and there are comparatively no settle
ments. A moment later l heard the
captain and the pilot on the bridge
we my stateroom in a lively colloquy.
81 tell you it's right there!" said one
of them, excitedly. 1T must be, or
we'll be on the rocks in a minute!'
That was enough for me. l tumbled
out of my berth and, ~half-dressed,
rushed on deck, just as the whistle
gave another unearthly screech. 1t
seemed to be answered Immediately
by another whistle near by, and l i'm
agined we were meeting a steamer.
''What did / tell you?" cried the pilot.
There she is, all right!' After wait
ing ten minutes or more, hoping. to be
able to catch a glimpse of the strange
craft. l accosted the captain, and ask
ed him where the other steamer was.
My question nearly gave him an ep-
ileptic fit. We had run into a dense
fog, and our pilot was guiding us in
that crooked channel and among those
treacherous rocks by the echoes sent
back from the mountains which here
and there rise p%recipitously from the
waters edge.

THE GOLD.
Che Question of Age and the Original
Formation.

An interesting point in connection
with the question of age is that the
ground remains perennially frozen, on
ly the surface being thawed in sum
mer to the depth of two or three feet,
says Nature. 1t would appear, there
fore, that, like the placers of Siberia,
these deposits have remained undis-
turbed and unaltered ever since the
glacial period, and perhaps some such
evidence of this will in course of time
be discovered, as was afforded by the
remains of mamoths and other animals
in the Siberian frozen mud. 1t is
worthy Of note that the comparative
lowness of standard of the gold is, un-
der the existing conditions, in favor of
the view that the placer gold is derived
from the erosion of auriferous quartz
lodes formerly existing at a higher lew
ell, and has not been formed in stu
by being deposited from solution. For,
according to those who support the
former view, placer gold becomes Of
higher standard than reef gold after
it has found it's way into the drifts,
the base metals being gradually re-
moved by the solvent action of running
water, in which gold is not readily
soluble. Since, however, the Klondike
gold has been frozen up during a large
part of the time since it was deposited
in the gravel, it is obvious that it a n
not have altered in composition so
much has the gold in river sands far
Their south, and might be expected to
resemble the gold in the parent lodes,
which is not usually more than 800
fine. The low standard of the gold is
not so readily accounted for by the
accretion theory of formation of placer
gold.

The East Coast of Florida Furnishes
Study For the Scientist.

Study For the Scientist.
TO the geologist the east coast of
Florida is n of the most interesting
portions of the earth's surface. In the
eyes of science it was but yesterday
when the surf beat on what is DOW the
western shore of the st. Johns. To
the eastward of this line the corals
built a long bar; gradually this caught
the earth washed from the shore and
on this plants grew and then trees.
This made of the st. Johns exactly
what Indian river is now, a long salt
water lagoon. AS the coast widened
aud the coral worked the lagoon filled
IN as Indian river is doing, and drain
age from both sides made 1t fresh.
Still the coral is at work, and again a
long bar stretches southwark almost
continuous now from Cape Canavera]
TO Key West. When all the inlets on
indian river are closed but one it will
soon become a fresh-water stream and
NIL in with the remaining inlet for
the mouth of a river. Then the space
W the shore and the coral reef
Will be another lagoon and another
strip of habitable land will arise out
OF the ocean. The accumulation of al
luvial soil in the valley Of the upper
st. Johns is full Of the bones of marine
monsters and shell fishes-the sub
stratum of clay is still distinctly salt.
Are there monsters yet alive in the
great marSh7 There arc tales tha
would go to prove it. In that tract of
eighty-two miles in length, sometimes
fifteen in breadth, without forest
growth, still a mixture of earth and
water-a wilderness of plants and
grasses-there is room for many
strange forms of life that man may
never see in our generation.
