CORNISH CAVE JEWELLERS.
Women Go to Sleep Standing ON this
Slanting Rocks.

cumming ANVShbs
, People in the habit of frcquenting the
shore of Whitesand bay, between Loco and
Downderry, are familiar with the sight
Of two women moving about among the
rocks exposed at low Tide. They are
shellflsh gatherers who live In a small
cave little to the west of Seaton. Any
one who examines the place must wonder
how two human beings can exist there.
Along one side is strip OF sand, and
from that the floor slopes upward at an
angle Of about 60 degrees. Whether by
years Of practice the women have attained
such perfection In tho art of balancing
their bodies that they go to sleep on tho
slanting rock without fear of falling, or
whether they rest on the sand (wet when
l saw 1t from late STORMY, was not in
formed, but 1t Is evident that they know
no comfort ut any time. When 1 came
suddenly upon the cave one morning in
October, the smoldering ashes of o drift
wood fire, kettle, teapot and two cups
were dotted about just inside. Farther
up tho floor their cupboard" couple
OF iron boilers-were standing, and in
niche near the fire was pipc, short, dark
and odorous.
The women who have made this their
dwelling place are Irish widows, "born In
Ireland and married in Ireland" as one
of them said. They are between SO and
go years old and for the last 80 years
have managed to gain sustcnanco by
gathering limpets week after week and
taking them to Plymouth. When the sea
is rough, they obtain few or no fish, but
~, fo,r ~,
sometimes get IA shillings week between
them. In fine weather, when from Rame
head to Iooe island the sea lies calm and
glistening under summer sky, this
smoke blackened cave is IN uninviting
howell, and in the winter, especially when
there Is gale from the southeast, the wo-
men must be blown almost out of tho hol.
low or frozen to death. On some such &C.
casions they are forced to leave the cave
and then they go to tlisused pig sty near
by.
In talking with them while they deg
terously Clipped limpcts from the weed
mantlcd rocks l mildly remarked that
warehouses were now made very comfort
able Immediately the younger woman
stood erect and with something akin to
pride and determination exclaimed in a
voice more than tinctllrcd by the Irish
patois, Never, sir, will us go to the
workhouso while lis can get as much as
ono crust In "a hours" Hitherto had
seen her only in stopping attitude, and
! was surprised now to see how tall u wo-
man she was and what strength of charac.

ROMANCE OF ALUMINIUM,
How n Roman ArtiIcer Startled IT,
bcr!us and Lost His Hend,


In "Natura Historiarum," where ref
crence Is made to an Incident in Roman
history which up to the time of Sainte-
Claire Deville has been overlooked by
scientists for many centuries, says Alumni.
nun, it is related by Pliny (23 A. D. to
70 A. d. that during the reign of the
Emperor Tibcrius al B. c. to 81 A. d.
certain worker in metals (Faber) ap-
pcared at tho palace and showed bcauti-
full cup composed of brilliant white
metal that shone like silver.
When the artificcr was presenting IL to
the emperor, ho purposcly dropped it on
the floor of the chamber The goblet was
so bruised by the fall that it seemed to be
irrctrievably injured, but the workman
took his hammer and in the presence of
the court repaired the damage without
delay. 1t WIS evident that this metal was
not silver, though 1t had almost the same
briliiancy besides being much more due
tile and considerably lighter.
The emperor questioned the artifccr
closely and learned from him that he had
extracted the metal from an nrgillaceo,s
earth, probably the clay known to mod
ern chemists as alumina. Tihcrius then
u5htu II Ole DCsluCS knew Inc
process and received the proud reply that
the secret was known only to himself and
Jupiter. This answer was sufficient. The
emperor had reflected that If 1t were pos
sible to obtain this metal from go common
substance as clay the value of gold and
silver would be greatly reduced, so he do
termined to- avert such u lamentablc
catastrophe. He caused the workshops of
the discoyerer to be wholly destroyed, and
the lucklcss artiflcer was seized and de-
capitated, SO that his secret might perish
with him.
M. Sainte-Claire Deville had no doubt
that this metal was aluminium, and no
asserted that the wanton cruelty Of
Tibcrius had deprived the world of this
valuable metal, which remained un-
known for 10 centuries. Tho extracting
of aluminium, discovered by the Roman
craftsman in the first century of tho
Christian era, thus became one of the lost
arts.
