RICH BY SHEER LUCK
IN South kfriCaJ. B. Robinson
Got S4OO,OOO,OOO Thus.
BARBARlC GEMS AND GOLD
Seemed to be Just Lying
Around Loose, for Him.

New York, Oct. 2s.-within twenty
years four men have been made multi
milIianaires in South Africa They are
John B. Robinson, estimated wealth,
s4OO, Ooo, 900; Albert Belt, 800 200, 900; Cecil
J. Rhodes, s25, OoO, 600, and the late Barney
Barnato, s5,OOO.OOO All of these men
were poor before the diamond mines of
Kimberley and the gold fields of the
Transvaal were discovered, and this was
especially the case with John B. Robin
son, who was absolutely penniless in the
latter part Of 1873.
This story is told Of John B. Robinson,
who is unquestionably the richest man
in the world This man, with his i'm
mense wealth, does not travel around the
world In a private yacht; he does not
possess a palatial private railroad car
he does not parade his stupendous riches
in an ostentatious manner; neither Is he
given TO perform acts of charity.
The career Of Mr.. Robinson in Africa
IS far stranger than fiction; the acquisi-
ton Of his wealth reads more like fairy
life. Many have made fortunes in South
Africa during the early days, but the
majority, and especially those mentioned
in this article. acquired their riches by
mere bulldog grit and sagacity. With
Robinson it has been different; his wealth,
beyond the dream of a Monte Cristo,
was secured simply by pure, unadulter-
ated luck.
John B. Robinson and his wife arrived
in South Africa from England in the
early seventies, possessing about $500
when they arrived at Cape Town. The
couple decided to make their way to
Bloemfontein, capital of the Orange
Free State 1t was a long and tedious
journey in those days, but, after
months travel in a bullock wagon, Rob
inson and his wife arrived at the little
capital They decided to open grocery
and general merchandise store. Custom
ers were long in coming, but those Of the
Orange Free State burghers who did
trade with Robinson asked for credit,
which was freely extended to them. He
was new to the business, but the burgh-
ers were old hands at buying on credit
The grocery keeper did not progress;
trade, it is true, became brisk, but it was
nearly all on credit. The crisis came in
the latter part Of 1873. AS Robinson in
creased his credits he was going deeper
into debt His creditors were clamoring
for their money, but he had none to give.
One morning in 1873 an Orange Free State
official took charge Of the Robinson
1,t he y1OIe p
fit was sold at auction. Burghers from
all parts of Bloemfontein came to sec the
sport, but none Of those who owed Rob
inson money made any effort to pay
him; mayhap they had never intended to
do so. While the action was going on
Robinson stood by in a daZed manner

buriel deep-over thoucaEdS OF square
miles-with some kind deposit. Ten ap
pearance which these mysterious trails
and sheets present in the photographs
leads to the coclusion that they are COM
posed of volcanic ashes and cinders dis
tributed by winds and atmospheric cur
rents. The air which bore up such i'm
mense clouds of ashes must have been
dense enough to keep them suspended
for long periods of time, because some Of
the trails, stretching unbroken across
mountain and plain. extend thousand
miles or more from their point Of origin.
Indeed, Messrs. Loewy and Puiseux, to
whose skill and patience the world owes
the superb pictures referred TO, are OF
opinion that even yet the moon has not
entirely parted with its atmosphere, and
they see reason to hope that they may
discover convincing evidence OF is con-
tinued presence, although not in SUI
ficient quanty to render life like that of
the earth possible on the moon as it is
to day.
But their photographs have already
done enough to show that hte moon once
possessed the means of supporting life.
They have proved. more convincinSly
than mere telescope observations have
hitherto been able to do, that water and
air were formerly abundant on the moon.
Taking this irr conjunction with Porfes-
scr George Darwins demonstration that
the moon may have benn thrown on from
the earth at a time when our globe was
yet plastic with heat no more would
seem to be needed to show the identity
of the two bodies in composition. Hav-
ing the same mineral and gaseous con-
stituents as the earth has, shaping its
elf into a. globe under the operation of
the same laws of pressure and Of the cen
trail forces, developing it's oceans, its mo-
untain chains, and its volcanic features
in a similar nanner-how could the moon
be expected to differ widely from the
earth in the matter of living inhabitants?
When the time was ripe. when the con-
ditions of chemical combination were
right vital action began on the earth
So, doubtless, it also began on the moon.
But the moon, being a much smaller
body, cooled faster and lost its supply of
atmospheric gases much more rapidly.
Life on the moon must have run It's
course swiftly.

SEA GRIT. Sept. 8. 1Ss9.-After suffering
a crushing defeat in the Hilton trophs
match at the hands of New Jersey 5
shareholders Georgia again suffered oe-
feat yesterday at the hands Of the cracks
from the District of Columbia, IN the IN
terstate Military match for the 1Soidler
Of Marathon trophy. Georgia won inns
event in 1895, 1886 and 1897. The TWO
states tied in the totals but because OF
superior ability on the long range the
w~ashingtons were awarded the trophy.
The two defeats had an apparent effect
on the Georgians and they We're seyereiv
criticized for some of their actions a
rumor was started yesterday morning
that the scorers in the Hilton trophy
match formed the New Jersey contestants
and great surprise and establishment were
manifested.
General Bird w. Spencer, head Of the
New Jersey Rifle Association, immediate
" started a vigorous Investigation to dis
cover the source of the report. He learn
ed that a number of rifemen, mostly
from Georgia. had gone into thef pit ~
O'Clock and inspected the targets with the
aid Of bicycle lamps. Upon their return
they said that there were but forty-lve
bulls eyes on the New Jersey target,
when the team was credited with fifty
three. The target had been used in other
matches after the Hilton, and at the time
the rifemen went into the pit more than
a hundred were pasted there.
The investigation will be pushed to the
limit, and General Spencer now has the
target. Another interesting feature came
to light. One of the Georgia team, seeing
that defeat was almost inevitable, shot
at the New Jersey target and made a
three. Condemnation is heard en- all sides
for the Georgia aggregation, because of
the ~insinuations against the honesty and
integrity of the New Jersey Rife Associa-
ton.
In the Interstate match the excitement
was great. Georgia and the District of
Columbia stuck to each other right to
the finish in the long range stage. Geor-
gia was looked upon as a sure winner
here but were disappointed. Lieutenant
F. c.. Wilson saw that a four or five was
necessary for his team to win but could
do no better than a three in spite Of the
greatest care. Dickey, of the Washington
team, was the last man to shoot. and a
He took great care in every move and
long, steady aim. The bulls eye sign
went up and Washington was awarded
the prize. New Jersey showed up poorly
here and was third, being AZ points be-
hind Georgia in the totals. The scores:-
