A NEW MINERAL.
Miner Finds Deposit In Idaho Mine
Which Gives on IA Phosphor-
escent Glow.

George F. Ayres, well-known min
err of Boise, Idaho, has unearthed
mineral substance that has iluminat-
ing power which can he found 300
feet from the surface. He had been
running a cross cut tunnel to tap his
ledge, and ran across deposit that
gave off enough light so he could pro-
ceed without the aid of his candle.
He brought some pieces to the surface
and experimental with them in his
cabin that night, but they gave only
a phosphorescent gleam. In the earth,
however, the light was almost bright.
He impaired the information to an
assayer. who has been able to repro
duce the atmospheric conditions in
water that prevail where the mineral
is found, and lighted room with it.
He has several fruit jars partly filed
with the mineral. which is covered
with fluid preparation. While it will
not supplant other means of ilumina-
tion in large places, 1t can be used in
thousands of mining camps, where
coal oil is expensive and electricity
and gas unobtainable.

A HERO'S FATE.
Lieutenant Commander Roper Dies
I'm an Effort to Rescue nm linz
periled Seaman.

Cavite, April 1.--At seven o'clock
Sunday morning a fire was discovered
in the sailroom of the United States
gunboat Petrol, Lieutenant Command
er Jesse Minis Roper commanding.
The sailroom is a small compartment
adjoining the magazine. The heat
was intense, the smoke suffocating.
and the flames difficult to extinguish.
Lieutenant Commander Roper was
the first to descend into the hold, but
he was forced to return to the deck.
Others then went down. Seaman Pat
rick Toner was Frustrated and about
to perish when Lieutenant Command
err Roper endeavored to rescue him
and was suffocated in the attempt.
Lieut.. Josiah Mexican and Cadet Lewis
suffered severely in bringing the body
of Lieutenant Commander Roper to
the deck. Twenty-Five of the crew
were Frustrated, Toner. Evans. Flah.
erty, Larsen, Kessler, Cahey, Burton,
Smith, Sullivan and Forsboon serious
ly, but all will recover. The contents
of the sailroom were destroyed, but
the damage to the gunboat was slight.
The origin of the fire has not been
nscertained; possibly il was a case
of spontaneous combustion. The
death of Lieutenant Commander Ro-
per is greatly deplored. His body will
be sent to the United States April S
by the Buffalo.

here ever since. I must get along,
now I've got the chance, so good
night to ye."
Crossing the street, he entered the
church and peered about. 1t was
empty and quiet. Satisfied that all
was as it should be, he went out,
closed and locked the greut door and
hurried away.
Down in the basement Louise was
putting the roses in cool corner
when her ear caught the clang of the
closing door. She sprang up the
steps and ran across the transept and
down the long side-aisle. Painting,
she tried the door, shook 1t, ratified
the knob, pounded on the panels, but
all in vain. She ran to the tower
door, thinking perhaps to ring the
bell. That, too, was locked. She
thought of the windows, but the
painted saints in the chancel were,
of course, immovable, and for the
rest the church was lighted from the
clearstory high above her head.
The basement! Surely she could
get out there! Through the deepen
ing shadows she fastened down the
stairs again. Again a locked door
confronted her.
II feel like mouse in trap" she
said to herself. "There's no use in
being so frightened" She sat down
on the lower step and tried to face
the situation calmly. Here she was
prisoner in dear old st. Stephens.
The SEXTON had undoubtedly gone
home for the night. Unless she was
missed and searched for he would not
be back until early morning, when he
would come to attend to the fires. AS
to the possibility that she might be
missed, it was very slight. Her moth
er supposed her to be at her aunt's,
while her aunt was not definitely ex-.
pecting her, and would not be sur
prised at her nonappearance.
'No two ways about it,. thought
Louise. "I'm booked to spend the
night here. I might as we'll settle
down to it, and make myself as COM
Portable as possible"
She rose and went slowly up the
stairs, humming little tune to keep
up her courage.
As she entered the empty church
slight noise startled her. She gave
herself little shake. "Louise Mat
tison," she said to herself, sternly,
