ton, the cornerstone of the
Capitol building was laid in
1879. But only the north wing
OF the old, or main, building
was ready when Congress first
assembled here in 1900. Not
until 1927 was the original Capt.
toll completed. Half of the cen
fury elapsed before the new
wings, those now occupied by
the Senate and House of Rep
Tesentatives, were commenced
The dome was not completed
until 1855. The accompanying
views OF the original and the
completed Capitol make an inter-
esting contrast. It's total cost

Like most great inventions or improve

biography is the outcome of the labor,
not Of one man, but OF several. Let US

marked out for Marconi. He studied
Hertz, and Hertz studied Maxwell. who
had Michael Faraday's experiments be-

and Hight. Hertz could not have over

GOLD DREDGING IN NEW ZEALAND

The success of dredging as a branch of
the gold-mining industry in New Zea-
land is now firmly established and so
widely recognized as to call for little
comment. In hit space of the last 30
years. gold dredging has advanced by
leaps n bounds, as each fresh improve
ment upon the early crude attempts has
been added with satisfactory stimulating
results. 1t is now about ~thirty-four
years., as far as a he ascertained,
since .Ae first attempt to dredge the
River Molyneux vas made. The ma
chime then employed consisted merely Of
"a strong iron ring, technically known as
- to which was secured an OK
hid and a long pole. The process Of
dredging was as simple as the means
employed. A rope was fastened to the
aforesaid iron ring and secured to a hand
winch on the bank Of the river. The
bucket and pole were taken out and
dropped into the stream by means of a,
boat, the bucket being pressed by the
cole as deep as possible into the wash
in the bed of the river. All that re-
manned TO- be done was to haul the
bucket ashore with the help of the
winch, the contents being then Graded
lin an ordinary miners cradle.-W. H.

CRUSOE'S ISLAND.

The island of Juan, Fernandez, upon
which Alexander Selkirk was exixled for
a time, and wohe adventures formed the
basis for Robinson Crusoe," is about to
be- turned into a colony. Robinson Cru
soc, or rather a prototype OF Robinson
Crusoe, existed nuder the name Of Alex
.ander Selkirk. That Defoe knew Selkirk's
story there can be no doubt, for he close
ly kept to the facts Of Selkirk's exist
tence on the island of Juan Fernandez.
Even the story of Crusoe's man Friday
has a foundation Of truth, for Selkirk res
cued a stray Indian from death. This
man had become separated from a par
ty who had landed on the island, and.
being lost in the woods, was left behind
and would ave died not Selkirk dis
covered him. Fridays death did not oc-
cur in such a dramatic manner as Defoe
described it however, for Selkrik's re-
tainer was drowned while fishing. Barren
as the place seemed to Selkirk, it con-
tains many fiour.shing spots. The fruit
trees which he planted have reproduced
themselves, and peaches, ounces, pears
and grapes are in abundance. A man who
had 9 stock farm on the island for some
reason abandoned the undertaking several
years ago and turned his live stock loose.
Cattle. sheep, goats n pigs are now
fOund in a wild. state, so that the col
onists are likely to have some good sport.
The sea Tswarms with Goldfish, which
should provide occupation for anglers.
The settlers are likely to be. abundantly
supplied with meat, fish and fruit. The
island, which is in the Pacific ocean. has
been occupied by a few German and Chill
Ear families, numbering about fifteen per-
sons in all. It is now proposed by sthe
Chilean government to turn the island
into a colony, and about $50 hardy Chill
cans will form the nucleus Of the settle
ment, which it is proposed to christen
"Crusoe's Island" The cottage which
,Selkirk built. and which Defoe describes,
still EXISTS as a broken-down shanty.
