Some London Impressions.

London and Paris do not seem to
realize the luxury of cool things to eat
and drink. In London hotels the guest
get a pastry dessert a dozen times where
be gets an ice once. In the cafes the
waiter stares at the patron who calls
for ice, and the thirsty American must
raise mighty kick if he gets a cool
drink. When one calls for a lemonade
he is served with warm pop, but if he
calls for "lemon squash" he gets
third-rate lemonade. But the jolly bar
maid helps to tone down his wrath In
the hotels, cafes and office buildings one
notices the absence of electric or water
fans. A London paper this week men
toned this fact and commented on how
slow the English were to adopt such
cOnveniences. The shops and big stores
still cling to the cash-boy instead of
using the overhead money carrier sys-
tenn. Some day a hustling American
will establish big, modern department
store in London and show the English
how we do things-and people-in

company is even better this season than
last. Mr.. THESE has engaged for the

of the cleverest teams in the business;
they in addition to The Jenny Eddy

of good comedy, and interspersed with

The coronation chair was an object of
great interest in Westminster Abbey.
1t is kept in the Confessor's Chapel,
where the ashes of kings and queens
have been kept for centuries. The coro-
nation chair was made nearly eight
hundred years ago by the order of
Edward I, and has been used at every
coronation since that time 1t was last
used at the coronation of Queen Vic
toria on June %, 1888. The chair re-
sembles the old-fashioned straight-back
arm chair, and the seat is of rough
stone. A legend says that this stone is
the one on which Jacob laid his head,
and was brought from the Holy Land
to Spain, thence to Ireland and England.
Geology is decisive as to the stones
Scottish origin. Be that as it may, all
the Sovereigns Of England from the
time Of Edward have sat on that stone
during the coronation ceremony. The
chair is black with age, though it looks
to be good for another century.

Nome City, Alaska, Where Men Have Been Digging
the Valuable Stuff Out of the Beach.

Reports of rich findings of gold at
Cape Nome, Alaska, have been of un-
usual interest in and around Boston,
because among the residents of Nome
City are number of men whose
homes are in or near Boston. says
writer in the New England Home Mag
azine.
Nome City is on Norton sound, about
$50 miles northwest of the mouth of the
Yukon river. There are a number of
rich claims along the creeks a short
distance inland, but the most remark
able phase of Nome City mining is
the beach digging. Gold is found in
itch quantities in the sand which lines
the shore.
Gold In the Beach.
For miles to the west OF Cape Nome
the beach runs straight away in
strip of tide land. varying from forty
to sixty feet in width between high
and low water mark, extending up to
the tundra" or black alluvial soil,
which is from three to five feet higher
than the beach proper.
All Of this tundra and all the terri
tory along the creeks and rivers east
and west for thirty or forty miles and
back into the mountains for ten or
twelve miles had been staked, but on
the long strip OF tide lands no man
had better claim than another, or
could have, under the tide-land laws,
and here the grand army of gold seek
ers camped and in very short order
had converted the barren strand into
! site OF tremendous and enthusiastic
industry. At the same time business
Of all kinds began to respond to the
boom from the beach, and the usual
collection of gambling bells, saloons
and dance halls went into operation.
A few weeks ago 1t was estimated that
1000 or 1000 miners were at work on
the beach. extending west for twenty
miles. All these work with rockers,
and they occupy just as much territory
to the man or group as can work 1t.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1900-01-04

il will lie between the last second Of
the year 100 and the first second OF
the year 101. So your second journey
around the circle does not begin with
100, but with 101. The last second OF
the year 100 was part Of Dec. 81, 100;
and the first second Of 101 was part Of
Jan. ], 101, or the beginning Of the sec
ond century.
Now, follow up this investigation BY
glancing down the table of centuries
within the circle. Do you see where
IL leads you without a break or lost
year! You find the nineteenth century
is not fully rounded till you come to
the zero line between 1900 and 1901.
that il, the last second OF Dec. 81,
1900, and the first second of Jan L,
1901. So the first second of Jan. 1,
1901, is the FIRST second Of the TWEEN
tieth century, as it requires the last
second OF Dec. 81, 1900, TO make the
nineteenth century complete.
60 the twentieth century can't
begin Jan. 1. 1902
A-Not without tapping a year on
this one.
Q-But what about the Pope saying
the twentieth century would begin lust
after midnight Jan. 1, 1900?
A-Whisper-The Pope didn't say It.
He merely stated that the year 1900
would usher in" the twentieth CEN
fury.
1t is fallacy of those who say the
century begins Jan. 1, 1900, that in
stead Of considering zero an imaginary
point, they seem to contend there was
a zero year Don't lose sight of the
fact that this zero we are considering
simply marks the beginning and end
of century. 1t has no dimensions
either Of time or space The first year
was the year mot the year zero or O.
