Already she has famous society of

They have their headquarters in that

more young women watch the confec-
ton of ragout. AS he cuts up the
vegetables, prepares the sauce and
juggles with a saucepan he maintains
learned disquisition. interrupted now
and again by question from an in
quiring pupil.
The Gordon Bleu has been ectab-
lished for five years. and during that
time has turned out many efficient
cooks. Its aim is to teach the art OF
cooking well and economically, for
French housewives prefer cook who
does not waste material. So the che
explains that it is not necessary to
add lump of butter to every dish.
'The natural fat of the meat would ia
nearly every case be sufficient" he
says, "and it is by no means neces-
sary to supplement every dish with
butter, or grease, or oil. These only
fatigue the stomach, and the best cook
is she who uses least grease"
The Gordon Bleu frequently has
English and sometimes American pu-
pills. For $40 month pupil may at

dinner and have it served as soon as
it is ready. Her early martyrdom is
a happy augury for married happi

school is decorated with the Legion Of
Honor, and all are at the head of their
profession. Recently the Gordon
Bleu has established circuit system

English destiaies. and it is therefore
desirable that they should strengthen
and purify the stock as much as pos
sible. | am glad the young couple has
been forgiven by Papa Zimmerman and

people.
But the idea of rich and beautiful
American girl marrying a creature
like some of our Anglo-American dudes
is nauseating. Such a fate would be
wholly degrading. For her to marry
an English peer who was personally in
significant might certainly not be the
highest destiny conceivable, but
neither need it be altogether base.
There are compensations and oppor-
tunities IN the latter case which would
be entirely lacking in the other. If her
domestic life fails the wife may con-
sole herself by building up or main
tanning great social position; she
may enter into affairs of state and do
good in many incidental ways. But
the unhappy wife of rich American
has nothing to turn to but vice and
dissipation if her husband be a min
eompoop or a scoundrel; and one can
only hope that the future may stimu-
late our young men to make them
selves better worthy of our rich and
beautiful girls than they have shown
themselves to be of late
Unless this happens the situation
will be singular. For there is every
sign that wealth will continue to in
crease in this country, and if it con-
tinues to harm our young men and to
benefit our young women and thus TO
cause their paths in life to diverge and
to drive the finest type of our woman

might be moved to pass law making

terested was Dr. N. Fred Essig of Spo-
kane. 1t was syndicate to brave
hearts, willing hands and ready
purses, and so in 1885 the tunnel was
started to cut straight through the
vein-ribbed side of the old Palmer
mountain. Work has never stopped.
The hackers found assistance neces-
sary and they carried their en-
thusiasm to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
and returned with abundant means for
carrying forward the enterprise. Am
pie machinery was installed, and pro-
gress became more rapid. So it has
gone on without a stop or hitch or
falter.
The tunnel is model of engineer
ing, but no mining engineer ever
planned or suggested or in any way
contributed to the work. John BOYD
did it. The merchant proved himself
equal to the occasion. From the be-
ginning he has been the man behind
the tunnel. Straight and true as a
bullets fight it has bored into the
hillside. AS perfect piece of mining
work it is as one can see in all the
west
But he big thing about this tunnel
is that in the veins which have been
cut at a depth of 1000 feet in the
farther portions of the tunnel free
gold is as abundant as in, the surface
workings. This proves the continuity
of the free gold of Palmer mountain
and demonstrates the worth of the
property.

the veins cut Ore is going on to the

That sounds evtravagant. but it is
literally and absolutely true.
Furthermore, the investigation of
this expert proved that the entire
Palmer mountain formation is i'm
pregnated with gold to the extent OF
between so and SO per ton. The
whole thing will pay as well for mil
ling as does the ore of the Treadwell
or Homestake. while the many veins
intersected will bring the profit up.
The biggest wien yet encountered is
known as No. II. which was cut last
July. 1t proved 40 feet wide from
wall to wall. and in it is pay streak
of five feet OF blue quartz carrying
free gold averaging about 500 per
ton. The average across the whole
vein when cross-cut by the tunnel was

even better values, with the pay
streak widening steadily.

ears. Rev. w. c. Jones, pastor of
Pennsylvania Congregational church,
charges Deacon Williams with having
slept Is out of 16 Sundays while he was
preaching and last Sunday wnen he
caught the deacon mapping while he
was preaching the minister at once cut
short his sermon, dismissed his congre-
CATION and sent in his resignation. A
North Carolina preacher would be more
considerate. Some years ago, while
Rev. Jesse H. Page was preaching in
Morganton on hot summer night, his
congregation noticed that he lowered
his voice almost to whisper. Later
on in the sermon, by way of explana-
ton, he said: 81 hope the brethren

PHOTOGRAPHED OF LeoniDs.
Miss Dorothea klumpke Is The Fore

Miss Dorothea klumpke Is The Fore.
most Astronomer of Paris.
Miss Dorothea Klumpke, a Cali
fornia girl. is the foremost astronomer
of Paris. Lately she has been going
up in a balloon to photograph the
ieonids.
The leonids are wonderful shower
of burning, dazzling, shooting stars
that dash through the edge of our at
mosphere at this time of year. There
are million miles of them. but owing
to combination of circumstances it
is not always easy to observe them
They are of intense interest to astron.
omers.
Miss Klumpke is one of the astrono-
mers of the French government and
carries on her studies regularly at the
Paris observatory. Whenever an
event of importance to the astronomi.
cal world has taken place of late. this
young woman astronomer has been as
signed to observe IL for the govern
ment. Thus she was one of the gov
ernment astronomers at the recent
eclipse OF Iile sun.
She has made speciality of balloon
escensions for astronomical purposes
and before the appearance of the
leoniods she made several trial ascen-
sions. When the time came she was
able to go up above the fogs and the
clouds and take number of splendid
photographs of the flying meteors,
which were invisible to other observ.
ers. She has been warmly compli-
mentcd for her achievement by the
head of the observatory and is regard
ed with wonder and admiration by
scientists all over the world. She took
her balloon up to height of 5000 feet
in order to get perfectly clear atmos-
phere. Such high ascensions are nee
| essarily perilous.
Miss Klumpke began her career by
gaining the degree of doctor of mathe.
MATES, the first woman to do so in
France. Her thesis was "A Contribu.
ton to the Study of the Rings OF
Saturn" Then she won her position in
the observatory against fifty French
astronomers who were trying for It.
She has charge of the department
which computes the measurements OF
the stars in the Paris belt. She has a
special building of her own in the
great observatory garden, covered
with ivy and surrounded with flower
beds. Here she works every day from
9 till 5. and frequently stays up at
night in the round tower with her
telescope.
One Of her duties is to photograph
the stars in her belt. This is done on
small plates six inches square, and
two Impressions of each are made. so
that there may be no mistake.
The plates are marked off in
squares a sixteenth of an inch across
by spider webs, as anything else
would be 200 coarse.

WIRELESS TELEeRAPHY.
Experiments in Germany and Prof.
Braun's Improvement.

Reports from Berljr -tate that dur
ing the storm which rage in the Baltic
and North Seas recently the commune
cation established by means of wireless
biography between the mail steamers
at sea and the shore proved very sue
eessful, many kilograms being trans
mitted without any difficulty.
Numerous experiments are now be-
ing made with the system throughout
Germany not only by the Post and
Telegraph Departments, but also by
the military authorities. The latter
recently established a connection by
wireless telegraphy between the

North Germany, and the Kyffhaeuser.
the highest summit in Thuringia. a
distance of about 60 kilometers (about
81 IA milesl as the crow flies, and the
results, 1t is said, were most success
full
Professor Braun, the head of the
physical laboratory at Strasburg Uni
versity, has made great improvements
IN Marconfs invention. The belief
that kilograms could be transmitted
over great distances by the Marconi
system II more powerful inductive
apparatus were used has proved to be
mistake. There is a definite limit to
the length of currents favorable for the
transmission of kilograms, beyond
which any further addition of energy
is of no avail. According to Professor
Braun, however, this difficulty can be
overcome. and at the same time the
danger Of strong charges avoided. The
transmitter is made to oscillate. not
as before by static charges but by in
duction. The transmitter is a single
metal wire, not interrupted by series
OF sparks. Its lower part is spiral.
by its side, though completely sepa-
rate, there is another spiral wire, gem
orally consisting of single coil of
thick wire, the so-called primary coil.
Through the latter Leyden Jars dis
charge themselves. In doing this cleo
trio waves are created in the primary
wire and cause others in the transmits
sion wire. The transmitted energy
can here be increased theoretically
without limit. The waves generated
in the transmitter are quite harmless
and can be easinly isolated. Professor
Brauns apparatus has shown by ex-
pertinent that the long sparks from the
transmitting wire are scarcely per-
ceptible He allowed the giver to act
on the neighboring transmtter, in
which he thus created sparks that lit
an incandescent lamp. He touched the
transmitter with wet thread con-
nected with the earth, which made no
change in the working of the receiver,
the corresponding experiments with
the Marconi ratchet apparatus having
at once made the transmitter complete
ly powerless. The effect of Professor
Braun's transmitting apparatus is
about three times as great as that OF
Marconi's transmiter. The professors
system is in use between Cuihaven and
Helogoland, ditance OF 81 lulometers
(about 3Sls miles) and is said to work
very we'll.
