Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substances.

These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- fieially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Prof. W. c. Day of Swarthmore college, near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington core spondent by Prof. Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, LID to that time unknown, was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in a large way, the production of it constituting an inn portant industry. The stuff is used for making varnishes. For this purpose 1t is especially good, because varnishes made of it will not crack. Conspicu- ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this gum asphalt as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part. It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the conforming period, subsequently underwent chemical processes.

Scotland's Fish Law.

A Royal sturgeon has been caught in the Ouse, near Goblet, Scotland. Its capture has raised an interesting oues- tion. As the law now stands all large fish-sueh as whales, sturgeon and for merly porpoises-if captured within the three miles limit of the coast are royal fish and are claimed by the eoastguard or the customs on behalf of the crown. In the event of the sturgeon being a particularly fine specimen, it Is forwarded to the queen. The law in Scotland n regard to whales is the same as in England, and in a contested case in the Scottish courts the law was laid down by Lord Erskine that whales when large be- long to the sovereign, when small to the captor."

Gambling in England.

In the latest history of gambling in England, just published, there are some astonishing revelations as to the amount of money won and lost by men and women whose names were as fa- mlliar as household words early in the present century. There are records of $200,O00 having been lost at a sit- ting, and the loss of $50,000 appears to have been very common occur renee.

A Crusade Against Parrots.

The town council of Richmond, Eng land has been crusading against par rots. It seems that certain of these birds have been disturbing the slum- bers of the town clerk and an alder man. So the music of nature has been hushed by a ranalty of forty shillings.

A Pr GERTRUDE ATneRTUN.

An aged woman sat in the middle of the
room gnawing piece of stale bread. Her
hair was white. her skin was almost black
from age and exposure. There was scarce
ly any furniture in the hut, and she wore
single garment Of faded calico; but both
herself and abode were clean. Herbs of
all varieties hung from the rafters, and on
shelf were number Of Walls.
No dwelling could be more commonplace,
but It stood alone in a valley that no other
living creature would inhabit; and its own

haunted her solitary abode. What passed
between her and her customers no third
person ever knew. Publicly she disclaim-
ed all occult powers whatever and vowed
that she gave no one anything but advice
to have nothing to do with senseless super
stitions. But her disclaimers were put
down to terror; her life had been in dan
ger more than once.
She glanced up with CLEAN of fear in
her eyes as Gaspar STROBE into the room,

Five days passed 1t was time for the
American to have returned twice over,
but there was no sign of him. To be sure
the road between San Mateo and La Paz
was one of the worst in Baja California,
and had been made all but impossible in
places by recent earthquakes. The Amer
lean might have broken the legs OF three
mustangs and come up on no hacienda
where he might demand a fourth. And
the lonely mountain passes were infested
with bandits and wild beasts. But rela-
tives watching by the sick bed made no
allowances. Ysabeps pallor had given
place to deep flush, and every crone in
the town had doctored her In turn. Bit
she did not regain consciousness for mo-
ment and she grew weaker daily. On the
morning OF the fifth day Gaspa rose and
set his lips.
