recorded in the catalogues In grammes.
In ancient times and among savage tribes
meteorites have always been looked upon
with more or less awe, and have often been
objects of worship. The Palladium which
fell at Troy, for example, was doubtless
meteorite. In three small meteorites dis
covered by the Peabody Museum on affairs
raised by the mound builders of the Little
Miami valley, in Ohio, Harvard possesses
the only authentic prehistoric examples
known to exist. Such archaeological or his
torical interest naturally adds much to the
market value Of meteorite. A well-knoWn
American collector recently secured from
the Shah of Persia a number of pieces from
a famous semi-sacred meteorite which had
been in the possession of the royal family
for generations, and by disposing of bits to
various European museums on his way
home was able, he said, to pay all the ex-
penses of his trip. to Teheran.

ranged "a grand cricket match, admission

man who looked after the ground. There
were no tickets printed, and John stood at
at the gate of the cricket field and collected
the pennies himself. 1t was a very hot

road, and johns thirst-always trouble
some-was simply unquenchable. Some time
after the luncheon interval a gentleman
who takes keen interest in the club ap-
preached the gate and addressed the old
groundsman:

If any one is so lucky as to find one OF
the shooting stars in the meteoric showers
due on November Ii he may congratulate
himself on having captured a prize worth
it's weight in gold. The number of collect
ors of meteorites is increasing, and the COM
petition between the different cabinets. pub
lie and private, has caused great ad-
vance in the price of rare specimens.
The largest and finest collection of me-
teorites OF this side of the Atlantic Is the
one in the Harvard Neurological Museum
in Cambridge. Reckoning European collec-
tons it ranks about fifth or sixth in the
world. The British Museum has the best
collection. as 1t has Of so many other things,
and the cabinets I'M Vienna and Paris rank

which are represented. Ordinarily, perhaps,
each meteroic mass which is found repre-

splits into several pieces, falling nifty or

About 275 falls are represented at Har-

those having tuberculosis. provided they

healthfulness of the place they claim that
in the past thirty years but three deaths

from tubercular trouble.
OF course there are those who defer COM

there are not few. 1t is a pathetic sight
to see them seated on the Dorehes of the
hotels and cottages heavily wrapped In
furs and blankets drinking In the pure air
of heaven in the vain hope that they are
receiving some permanent benefit. when as

SARANAC LAKE, n. Y,
November IA, 1900
Saranac Lake the now famous winter re-
sort for those afflicted with pulmonary
troubles, is situated in the northwestern
tains, about three hundred and eighty miles
from New York. The town, or village has
5000 inhabitants and is built in a valley,
one mile from Lower Saranac Lake on the
banks of a small stream some sixty feet
wide, called the Saranac river. An eleva-
ton of 400 feet is claimed for the village.
The surrounding hills and mountain peaks
reach as much as 5000 feet. The entire
region abounds in beautiful lakes some of
them miles in circumference. well stocked
with brook and lake trout Deer in great
numbers roam the forests. Saranac Lake
is well equipped with hotels and boarding
houses, or cottages, as they are called; also
can boast of a town hall, fine school build
ing, with capacity for 400; library, ma
tional bank four churches of the different
denominations, many stores and livery sta
bles, where good rigs can be had at reason
able rates The streets are mostly dirt,
with board sidewalks, and well lighted
by electricity. Five trustees and a presi-
dent look after the interests of the people.
On the whole, the place is rather pleasing
in its general appearance, with its many
newly built and well-painted cottages, dot
ting the hillSideS, and impreSSeS one as be-
ing well-kept, orderly town with consider
able get up and go about it, considering
it has little no commercial value. Build
ing seems to be the one industry. New
cottages are going UP in all directions, al
though building ma terial has taken jump.
Labor is in demand. Here at least is one
instance where the prosperity of the place
is not due to Mr.. Mckinley, but solely to
the poor unfortunates, who in the hope of
prolonging their existence come here to
breathe this exceptionally pure, dry air.
They usually remain months, sometimes
years 1t is said there will likely be 800 in
ValidS here this winter. An average ex-
penditure of $50 per month amounts to a
large sum, a sufficient one to make the ma
tive population happy.
