Half way between Munich aud Salz-
burg il the third castle-Herrenchiem
see-built by Ludwig ii" writes Prof
j. II. Gore in the Ladies Home Journal
This great structure il Incomplete, for
tunately for already overtax xed Bavaria,
tor no one could surmise what it's cost
would have been. One room alone tho
renowned bedchamber-could not be du-
pheated for less than a million dollars.
The vaulted ceiling is one great allegori-
cal painting the rounded cornics is GOV.
cred with score OF richly framed mural
paintings, the walls are panels Of ham
mered gold in intricate designs. and even
the floor ID Of a marvellous pattern. The
only suggestion of the purpose OF this
wonderful room is the sixty thousand.
dollar bed with its canopy more magnif
cent than any that covers a regal throne.
In the gorgeous dining room he had
erected disappearing table which drop
ped through the floor when one course
was finished and in its place came up
l
so that servants would be unnecessary in
the room and the most secret Stats mat
ters could be discussed in eafety Many
people sought in vain to SEQ the famoxs
room in Herrenchiemsee. Once an act.
ress pleased Ludwig so much by her reci-
tation that she thought it an opportune
moment to request permission to see his
most poetic bedchamber.' She was
cooily dismissed for her cffrontery, and
the servants were ordered to fumigate
the room in which she had been re-
ceived."
| One OF the most incomprehensible
things connected wit b the present eight
hour agitation is the attitude OF many Of
the business men toward the unbiased
enforcement Of that law. These men
have for years complained Of the dull
ness OF business, and have frequently
given as one OF tho prime causes OF tho
dullness the fact that some men were do
ing the work OF two or three men, and
those two or three were idle and in con-
|
that by the strict enforcement Of the
eight hour law, many more men will be
employed. thus finding sale for more
merchandise these same men hesitate to
give the movement their moral support
lest it might disturb business!" Many
business men are nothing moro than
moral cowards--they think lots more Of
the dollar than they do OF the man. The
eight hour Law in British Columbia,
which went into effect about the first Of
June. and which was fought through
parliament about the time the Colorado
legislature was wrestling with ours out
here. is being strictly enforced by the
government official. Wish the same
could be said Of the weak kneed Colo
RADIO officials.-PuebIo Courier.

1t is generally conceded by the highest
authority that the existence Of open
spaces are necessary for the formation Of
ore deposits of any kind. These open
sp aces may be exceedingly minute in
terstitial openings in fractured, crushed
|
BILE size in coarse breccia. The ore
may have been deposited in those open
spaces between the pieces Of the fractur-
ed rock mass or in the small cavities be-
tween the grains Of porous rock, as sand
stone. Some ore deposits undoubtedly
have been formed by replacement-that
is, as tho mineral bearing solutions pass
ed through the rock. atoms OF the rock
mass were dissolved and carried away in
solution. being replaced by atoms Of tho
sulphide minerals now constituting the
ore deposit. Bodies OF lead, iron and
zinc sulphides ip limestone are typical OF
this method OF formation. while deposits
in sandstone are well illustrated in many
California quicksilver mines. There Is
nothing to support the belief that the
spaces now occupied by large ore de
posits were at one time opeu caverns.-

Think Of q Kansas sunfower bloom
ing in far-off Luzon-the first American
flower OF any sort to spread its petals to
tho Oriental sun! Writing from Manila
to his folks in Ottawa, Harry Heck. q
member Of tho Twentieth Kansas. who is
on detached service in the headquarters
| telegraph Office. says: II believe l have
the distinction of bringing the first
| American flower over here. brought
some sunhower seed and planted it in
pots. One OF the plants is in bloom and
the rest have buds on them."-Kans0s
