CONTINUED
EIirYness.

In some portions of Germany the
kirmess, or church mass, formerly
danced in honor of the dedication of a
church, is now observed with the special
character of harvest home 1t marks
the close of the year IS labors and is cele-
brated by three days of music, feasting
and dancing with partners chosen or al
lotted, according to degrees of comeli-
ness, at the preceding May festival.
In southern Germany the end of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it
One half of it is then decked with rib
bons and hung aloft, while the other
half is burned. Its ashes are treasured
as remedy for rheumatism and are
sometimes used in making amulets or
charms. The peasants leave for Wodan,
or "the old one, a few ears of corn
and small number of apples, it being
considered unlucky to strip either field
or tree entirely bare. -Lippincott's

PRECIOUS METALS.
Gold and Platinum Are Cheap Com.
pared with Some of Them.

pared With Some of Them.
"The majority of people when asked
to name the most precious metals usu.
ally psention gold as first, platinum as
second and silver as third said the
proprietor of large assaying and refin-
ing establishment to the writer recently.
Now, let us see how near the truth
they would be. Gold is worth about
$3.50 per pound troy, platinum $3.50.
and silver about S12.
"We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less we'll
known metals. To take them in alpha.
betical order barium, the metal which
Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in
1908, sells for $3.50 n pound when it is
sold at all, and calcium is worth 81, 500
pound. Cirium is shade higher. Its
cost is Sl60 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 50, ESQ an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, and
it may well be called the rarest and
most precious of metals.
"Glucium is worth $3.50 per ounce
indium, $3.50; iridium, $65S pound;
janthanium, Sl75, and lithium, $l60
per ounce. Nidium costs Sl2s per ounce
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas-
stun and rhodium bring respectively
500, $500, $3.50, $50 and $512 per
pound. Strontium costs $12S an ounce
tantaum, $l44; tilurium, SO; thorium,
S272; vanadium, $3.50; yttorium, S144,
and zinconium, $3.50 al 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 SIS
and 50 a pound in 1890, is now pro-
duced as cheaply as are iron, zinc, lead
and copper, Washington Star.

DELAUNAY'S SAD FATE.
A 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
lantic. found it 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
Two of his relatives, his father, and,
believe, his brother, had been drown
ed, and this fact gave him 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, l
remember, as boy, readinga history Of
astrology, in which great many cases
of this sort were described, the pecu-
liarity being that the very measures
which the victim took to avoid the de-
cree of fate became the engines that ex-
ecuted it.
The sad fate of Delaunay was not ex-
actIy case of this kind, yet it could
not but bring it to mind. He was at
Cherbourg in the autumn of 1872.
Walking on the shore with relative,
couple Of boatmen invited them to
take sail. Through what inducement
Delaunay was led TO forget his fears
will never he 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 wero
drowned

EXCUSE FOR THE CoRBETT FUNK.
Dan Stuart Says the Ex-Champion
Had a Suralned Ankle. -

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Was a lame ankle
responsible for Corbett's poor showing in
his late fight with Sharkey? The posi-
bility Of such a thing is suggested at this
promoter Of the -Fitzsimmons,
Fitzsimmons-M aher and other fights. Mr..
Stuart, who Is on his way TO Hot Springs,
stopped Off in Chicago for a few hours.
Speaking of the Corbett-Sharkey fight he
said: ..
There was only one thing about It that
never could understand and want to
know. That Is why Corbett mixed 1t up
with Sharney. Those who know the style
way from him. But instead Of bringing
his activity, Into play Corbett changed his
method and went at his man. He never
back-stepped once during the fight. And so
l asked Jim about 1t after the contest.
He said that in the second round he was
attempting a little funny business, got
too close to Sharkey and came near being
knocked out. He failed to get his face
out Of Sharkey's way by about half an
inch and the blow, which was partly glanc-
ing. knocked Corbett down and stunned
him a good deal. When Corbett got up he
found that his ankle was badly sprained.
1t put him to a great disadvantage in the
rest Of the fight. Corbett never said any
thing about this because he knew 1t would
raise a great howl. Instead he took his
medicine. Corbett pulled UP his trouser
leg when he told me about It and showed
me hat his ankle was badly sprained."

Of locomotives and cars states that during
the last year all the contracting locomotive
shops In the United States, outside OF the
railroad shops, constructed 1850 locomotives
as against 1881 last year. This Is an In
crease of ga. This increase comes within
seventy-one Of representing the total out
put OF 1894 and Is greater by 21S than the
increase of 1895 over 1894. which increase
was the largest since 1877.
The total output Of cars will aggregate
lo5, 1853, Of which 90. 500 are freight. 500 pas
senger and 1850 street cars. OF these 1860
were for export. The last year was the best

record breaking year. when the total num-
Der Of freight and passenger cars built by
contracting firms was 100, 900.
