China,s Coai Fields.

China contains some of the richest
coal deposits in the world. Last fall
Prof. Drake, Of Tien-tsin, visited the
coal fields in the province of Shansi,
which were examined by Baron Won
Richtofen in 1870, and found that they
are of immense extent. The coal area
is said to be greater than that of Penn
sylyania, and the anthracite coal alone
contained in these fields has been esti-
mated at 630,OOO,0OO tons. The Shansi
coal beds are so thick and lie so uni
fornly in horizontal position that the
practicability has been suggested Of
running long lines of railway tunnels
through the beds so that the cars can
be loaded in the mines all ready for dis
tant transportation

A Rattlesnake Trap.

Rattlesnakes were the most danger
Gus wild animals with which the early
settlers of New Jersey had to contend.
They were very numerous, and their
bite, if not treated properly at once,
was generally fatal. In Stories from
American History f. r. Stockton cites
an incident which gives an idea of the
abundance of rattlers in the new col
Ony
In quarry, from which the work
men were engaged in getting out stone
for the foundations of Princeton Col
lege, wide crack in the rocks was dis
covered, which led downward to a large
cavity; and in this cave were found
about twenty bushels Of rattlesnake
bones
There was no reason to believe that
this was a snake cemetery, to which
the creatures retired when they sup
posed they were approaching the end
of their days; but it was, without
doubt, great rattlesnake trap.
The winding, narrow passage leading
to it must have been very attractive to
snake seeking retired quarters in
which to take its long winter nap. AL
though the cave at the bottom of the
great crack was easy enough to get
into it was so arranged that it was
difficult If not impossible, for a snake
to get out of it, especially in the spring,
when these creatures are very thin and
weak, having been nourished all winter
by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlesnakes
must have gone down into that cavity.
without knowing that they could never
get out again.

SOUVENIR OF A TRAGEDY
Lorenette Presented to a Senator's
Wife by Booth.

Lorgnette Presented to a Senator's
Wife by Booth.
The daughter Of United States Sen
ator has a lorgnette which was pre-
scented to her mother by J. Wilkes
Booth. The story, which is now print
ed for the first time, Is as follows:
Booth rented a room the night before
the assassination in the Washington
Hotel, where Henry Clay died. The
house was crowded with guests, and
the corridors after dinner were filed
with women of note and beauty. Booth,
who was fond of admiration, commin-
gled with the assemblage, and was pre-
scented to many. He carried hand
somely mounted lorgnette which Sen
ators wife complimented. She knew
the Booth fanny, EDWIN BoOtn having
been guest at her home. This fact
was sufficient warrant for J. Wilkes
Booth to be unusually gracious, and
when the Senator's wife admired the
actors lorgnette he begged the favor Of
presenting it to her. The following
night occurred the tragedy. In the pre-
liminary investigation which followed
the Senator's wife and another woman
who was with her the evening she met
Booth were subjected to a most rigid
inquiry as to Booths manner.
The daughter of the Senator's wife,
now prominent society woman Of her
home, tells this story in connection
with the investigation:
my poor mother was questioned and
cross-questOned by lawyer and de-
tective touching her meeting with
Booth. But she was unable to give
them any information concerning
Booths manner except that he was gal
liant. Hard as they tried to learn any
thing from her, she could remember
nothing showing that Booth contem-
plated crime, nothing indicating that he
ever thought of such a thing. He was
in a jovial mood and spoke of some flu
ture events with confidence. l do not
think my mother ever quite recovered
from the effects of the incident. She
kept the lorgnette for some years, never
using it, however, and finally she pre-
sented it to me. I am not supersti-
tious, but have never yet tried to use
this lorgnette that something unusual
did not occur. The first night I carried
1t my horse had an accident which made
us late in arriving at the theater, and
when we got there we found the play
postponed. Once it was misplaced and
suddenly turned up. On another ocea-
sion it was loaned to a friend, who was
taken i'll in her box and nearly died be-
fore she got home. still have it, but
l have never used it, although mean

LOCATION AND SKETCHES IN THE SEYCHELLES.

they made no efforts to occupy them.
The French took possession Of the
group in 1912, calling them after Count
Herault de Seychelles of the East In
dian feet. The British wrested them
from the French in 1894, taking Mauri
thus also. Maize is the largest island
and has the seat of government called
Victoria. This capital is an admiralty
coaling station, about thirty days trav-
ell from London.
Most of these islands rise deeply from
the sea. Those of the Aldabra group
and the islands of Mauritius and Re
union are Of volcanic origin. The Sey-
chelles proper are Of granite formation,
and from them to the west the sea deep
ems rapidly until soundings have been
taken from 5000 to 10000 feet.
Most peculiar of these island groups
are the Seychelles, with their towering
mountains, crowned with castellated
blocks of gray granite and even the
valleys studded with them. The noun
tains rise from 1900 to 5000 feet above
sea level and are sources of many of
the rapid streams that course through
the islands. The rainfall in year
may aggregate 100 inches or more, and
these wash down the granite fragments
from the hills, cutting gorges and can
yons in the rock formation. The rocks,
however. serve the purpose of retain
ing the rich soil Of the islands and most
Of them are jungles of tropical vegeta-
ton.
1t is a land of ease and plenty. Gre
oles from Mauritius and Reunion eff
fected a settlement of the main islands
about 100 years ago. In 1850 negroes
were imported as laborers from Mozam-
bique. Europeans, Indians and Chinese
have followed until the population Of
the eighteen inhabited islands is about
10000 Of all shades, most Of them
speaking the French tongue, in spite Of
the 100 years occupancy by the Brit
ish.
Until the English commissioners took
up the government of the Seychelles
piracy was one of the evils of that por-
ton of the Indian Ocean. The British
broke this up, however. and for many
years The Islands have been the home

Of the lndolent. To-day the island In
dustrles are fishing and the growing OF
tropical fruits and vegetables. The co
Goa palm is one Of the chief sources OF
revenue to the island. Sugar cane, va
nilla, cloves, pepper, coffee and sweet
potatoes are produced in great quaint
ties.
Leprosy has a foothOld in the islands
and Curleuse has been set aside for
them. This disease is not marked by
the average visitor, but it Is said that
10 per cent Of the population is afflicted
with 1t.

At meeting Of the Royal United
Service Institution in London recently
some pretty high compliments were
paid TO the American navy. The prin-
opal speaker was Admiral Sir John
Hopkins, who delivered a lecture on
the British navy. The admiral quoted
a criticism made by an American naval
officer on the coast defense Of England
"a criticism which he felt constrained
to admit was just. In so doing he com
phmented the American organizing fac
ulty as shown in the methods of Sc
curing cooperation between the land
and naval forces In coast defense.
Speaking Of warships Admiral Hopkins
declared that England was falling be-
hind in the matter of speed. He named
other countries in this connection, say
Ing that the English were sticking to
the twenty-knotter, while others were
building vessels with speed Of twenty
three knots. He said we were leading
also in the matter OF Golfers. AS to
that, he thought we were building our
golfers too large. But another admiral
present HendersOn-thO we were
right as to size as well as in other re-
spects, and he gave good reasons for
his opinion. But perhaps the highest
compliment was an Indirect one paid by
Admiral Sir Vesey Hamilton, who testi-
ly found fault with the lecturer for adj
hitting that the English had anything
to learn from the American about war
ships and defenses. Not finding any
thing better to say, he went back to the
war OF 1912 for argument against
America. During that war, he said,
with n few ships we kept the entire
Atlantic coast of the United States in
terror. Furthermore, our general meth
DDS Of naval warfare were such that
Americas commerce by sea was re
duced to almost nothing, while ours
was increased. II Is not hard to tell
who got licked in that war" The fact
that the admiral thought it necessary
to go back and fight the war of 1912
over again was as good as an admis-
sion that in naval ideas and methods
the English may be able to learn a little
from the Americans if they will.

II Is said that FOrmosan savages are
puzzled by an extremely simple arlth-
metical problem. If two of them are to
share five articles of food, they divide
by taking two apiece and throwing the
ffth away But that is not so bad,
after ALL 1t even shows that they have
made progress. In earlier times, the
stronger Of the two would have dis
posed OF his unesteemed contemporary,
and appropriated the whole. 1t is a
movement onward and upward when
the rights of others are recognized and
respected

One Of the first results Of Cuban eman-
cipatiOn from Spanish misgovernment
is the diminuton OF yellow fever and
Its virtual extinction in some localities.
Santiago, once a foul pest hole, has not
had single ease of yellow fever in a
year. Under the American administra-
ton dirt is declared criminal and a gen
eral cleaning up was ordered. That
this was thorough is apparent from a
glance at the statistics, and that II was
effective is clear from the immunity
enjoyed. The best evidence that the
Cubans are themselves ready to learn
the lessons Of freedom and self-gOv-
eminent is the ready acquiescence with
the American sanitary plans. even
though the traditions OF hundreds Of
years were violated and in most cases
domestic sloth, so comfortable in liner;
people, rudely disturbed.

The English tongue, like the English
drumbeat, is heard around the world.
In 1901 only 2O,25OOOO people used the
language. Now 135,OOO,0OO speak it,
and that comprises 30 per cent Of the
worlds population. Recognizing these
facts, Emperor William has decreed
that English shall be made equal to
Greek in the German gymnasia, dis
placing French as a necessary study,
and he is also planning to give II
place in the higher schools Of the en-
plre. This is another triumph for the
Anglo-Saxon tongue. The French
tongue, once the court language of
Europe, and the language which gave
passport to polished society in all the
salons Of the old world, is being dis
placed by the vigorous English, the
speech Of commercialism and OF politi-
cal liberty.

A Partisan by the name Of lie Bargy
fatly says the Prince Of Wales does
not know how to dress, and besides
has not the figure to make his clothes
set well II he did know. Does mon
sleur understand what he is doing in
thus ruthlessly destroying the model Of
the Anglo-maniacs? Already the latter
have been halting between two opin-
ions as to whether 1t is proper to crease
their pantaloons. The dictum of Wales,
who says they ought to be ironed out,
has been the only voice crying in the
wilderness of doubt as to the proper
thing in trousers. And now this
Frenchman, who is a sort Of Beau
Brummel, not only dlscredits but rldi-
cules the prophet of propriety in
breeches In this exlgency the Chawly
boys must take to the woods.
