One who heard Lord Kelvin and Lord
Lister at the late meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement of
Science was struck with their gentle
ness of voice. There was restfulness
In the tones. No 'fine frenzy" helped
the spectator to imagine for a moment
that he was listening to one who made
defamation take the place of demon
stration. How well this simplicity
symbolized that true science that never
mistakes vociferatiOn for verify!

Artist Tells Why He Fancies That
Color Above Others.
We went to our favorite bench in
the park, sitting so we could view the
lake. 1 watched my artist friend who
had asked me to take a quiet stroll
with him.
l tried to open conversation by re-
marking:
Come, now, let us play truth upon
honor for one-half hour"
VERY well; what shall the topic be?
"Oh, anything from the Humphrey
bills to the question, Why has red hair
always been looked upon in all ages
with aversion?
Red hairv exclaimed he There's
no such thing. Don't let anyone con-
vince you that there Is such thing as
real red hair. What people call red
hair is mixture of two or three shades
Of yellow and brown. Call it auburn
or Titan"
l saw that my friend was getting a
far-away look and would soon become
reminiscent. He continued:

stupid. She Is always interesting,
quick Of action, quick of speech, quick
TO resent quick to forgive, and above
all, sympathetic. She makes many
bright speeches, and sometimes with
the greatest naiyette. For instance, 1
knew charming young lady, golden
haired belle, who boasts family crest
over 300 years old, whose wit Is equal
ed only by her love of fun. She is
somewhat religiously inclined. To a
young gentleman who earnestly en-
treated her to waltz the other evening,
she returned with the startling mega
tive: I'll be damned if do OF course,
she meant 1t as q statement, not as an
aSSeVeration.
"Red hair brings with it great sensi-
bility. When the owner has blue eyes
and brown brows and lashes she Is Of a
sentimental turn of mind and always
musical. Brown eyes and dark lashes
are noted for their beauty, and often de-
velop great dramatic talent. Red hair
always goes with strong emotions, and
the red-haired girl laughs and cries at
the theater, while her dark haired Sis
ter loses half Of life by being more dig
nified and less appreciative. Yes"
sighed my friend, meditatively. "She
Is lovable darling when she likes you,
but sharper than a two-edged sword
when she doesn't"
l looked at my artist friend in utter
astonishment and wondered why my
innocent remark had called for so much
enthusiasm. However, l was rather
pleased than otherwise as my own hah
barely escaped the suspicious color.
II see there is no room for argument
here" 1 ventured to remark.
'Well, no." he laughingly replied,
''but I'll tell you something for your
own consolation. When / was abroad
last year I came across a red-haired
club in Vienna and to prevent fraudu-
lent admissions every candidate was
obliged to wash his hair in hot water
before the committee"

marked.

Some idea of the value and Of the m
terest that is being shown in Ontario's
gold mines in the newly discovered
Michipicoten district may be learned
from the report of Mr.. Archibald Blue,
director of the bureau of mines, as
given in the Canadian papers, Mr..
Blue has organized the new mining dis
trict, which has been placed under the
direction of Mr., d. Boyd. During the
fifteen days Mr.. Blue was at the Office
there were registered between eighty
and ninety claims, which had been reg
ularly staked out by license-holders
and upon all of which discoveries Of
gold hsd been made, In all over 200
licenses have been issued since the new
regulations went into effect, then about
a month. The new law allows miners
to take out two licenses provided they
are not under the same vein, and a
number of miners have availed them
selves of this privilege. As the system
of mining enables miners to secure
claim at trifiing expense, Mr.. Blue re-
ports 1t as very popular among pros
pectors. Among the prospectors who
have staked out claims are Lord Doug
lass of Harvick and a company in
which Col. Hisdale is interested. The
director also reports that he heard Of
one vein from twenty to thirty feet
wide which showed free gold In prom
Using quantities, the samples Of quartz

of the prospectors had no experience at

ever, were successful in locating
