OUR VAST MINERAL RICHES.
Nearly Thousand Millions i'm Value
Taken from the Earth
Yearly.

A chart published by the geological
survey gives summary of the min.
eral products of the United States for
the past ten years. The aggregate
values have increased by more than
one-half in that period and the fig
ures for 1899 are greater than in any
previous year, footing up the enor.
nous total of $976,00O, 900.
The value of the metallic products
OF the year is given at 1927, 21s, 1854 and
Of the nonmetallic at SAT-, 79O, 1862. The
latter class includes, of course, the
coals-$16S,O OO, 900 in bituminous and
sS8,00O,0O0 in Pennsylvania anthracite
-$64, $780, 900 in petroleum, $50, 00O, 900
worth of natural gas and large value
in stone, brick clay and cement, with
various other minerals.
OF the metals our pig iron is worth
almost as much as all others together,
the value of last years product being
given at $245,OOO,00O. Copper comes
next, worth $1O4 ,OOO, 900, and the ST.
100000 in gold is third. The market
value of the silver produced in 1895
was about 1913 900 900 and the lead and
zinc together were worth about as
much. Quicksilver, aluminium, anti
mony, nickel and PLATINUM are the
other metals that figure in the table.

WALES NEW YACHT.
Nay Try to Lift the Americas CUP
Next Summer.
Possibility That II 1t Proves Faster
Than Shamrock III. 1t May Be
the Boat That VIII Meet
Cup Defender.

Yachtsmen have been discussing
with great interest the possibility Of
the boat building for the prince OF
Wales taking the place of the Sham.
rock IL. as challenger for the Ameri.
cas- cup in case the Royal Yacht club
should come off the victor in the
trial races. When the attention OF
Manager w. Butler Duncan, Jr., was
called to the cables, he said:
Il have not considered such a con-
.tingency. The cables relating to the
challenger have been of such a specu-
lative character l have paid no atten-
lion to them. 1t really makes no diff
ference after all what boat comes
over after the cup, as it cannot aft ct
our activity in regard to the de.
Tense.
I'VE are going to get out the very
best boat possible. No pains or ex-
pense are to be spared to make her
the. fastest thing afoat, and when
the time comes to race we shall have
the knowledge that nothing has been
left undone to make the defense q
success"
Commodore Ledyard, of the New
York Yacht club, when asked if the
royal boat would be eligible to race
for the cup if she did succeed in beat
ing Sir Thomas craft in the trial
race, said there would be no difficulty
I'm arranging the matter.
IF the yacht fulfills the dimension
requirements, and should be chosen
to represent England, very likely mu-
tually satisfactory arrangements
could be made by the New York and
Royal Ulster Yacht clubs, as the deed
OF gift of the Americas cup allows
many of the conditions to be waived
when it is deemed advisable"
"Work is proceeding satisfactorily
on the DEFENDER" said Manager Dun
can NATURALLY l am not at liberty
to give out the details of progress,
but can say she will be ready in am
pie time for early preliminary work."
The joint visit of Messrs. Duncan
and 1selin to Bristol served to revive
the opinion among yachtsmen that
Mr.. 1selin would sail the Columbia
in the trial races. and his trip to Bris-
tol was explained to be for the pur-
pose of making arrangements with
Herreshoff for putting her in proper
shape for this service.
Mr.. Duncan, however, when asked
about the matter, said Mr.. Iselin ap-
parently held to his original inten-
ton to have no part in the defense,
and he did not know who would have
charge of this branch of the work.

A BROADWAY INCIDRHT.
Passer-By Gives Twice e : Dssvas
and the BeggAr Doesa,t
Stop HIM.

One Of two men who were walking
on Broadway talking was attracted
by the appearance of one-legRed beg
gar who sat, a crutch beside him, on
the edge of some steps in front of .
store, holding out his hat to the pass
ers-by. So he reached in his pocket,
pulled out a number of coins and took
from among them one which he
dropped in the beggar's hat. The one
legged man inclined his head, not serv-
ilely nor humbly, but with a calm and
decorous sort of politeness in acknowl-
edgment of his gift, says the New York
Sun.
AS for the giver, he seemed to take
no heed whatever of that acknowledge
ment; he simply kept on talking with
his friend; at the time, however, con-
tinuing to pick over the money that he
held in his hand, and in moment he
dropped another coin in the one-legged
mans hat.
Maybe he thought the first coin was
not enough to give; perhaps he gave
also for his friend; possibly he had
struck it rich and felt flush and gener.
Gus and wanted to give; he might have
been absent-minded; but anyhow he
gave twice. And as for the one-legged
man he. so to speak. was not carried of
his foot by the incident at all; he sat
perfectly steady. AS the second coin
dropped in his hat he inclined his head
gravely, with an acknowledgment
little more pronounced in manner than
the first, but with no obsequiousness
or foolish show of thanks. This was
Broadway, it was business man who
was giving him this money, and he was
making a business acknowledgment.
And maybe he thought that, if he did
not disturb, by too much profuseness
of thanks. what might be sort of in.
voluntary or automatic action on the
part of the giver who w0s thus repeat
ing perhaps he would keep on giving.

Muscles and Brain.

In one of his recent lectures at
Clark University, Prof. Angelo Mosso.
of Turin, averred that physical edu-
cation and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as we'll"
1t is becoming evident, he said, that
as much time should be devoted to
muscular exercise as to intellectual
exercise, and children should begin
reading and writing only after they
are nine years old. Muscular, fatigue
exhibits phenomena identical with
intellectual fatigue. Nerve cells show
on the average every ten seconds tend
ency to rest. 1t is probable that only
part Of the brain is active at q time;
the various parts relieve each other.
The more mobile any animals .extrem-
tiles are the more intelligent, other
things being equal, he says. III

The Slocum was handsomely decora-
ted with flags and draDed with the ma
tlOnal 'colOrS. As she left the transport
dock the screeching of whistles the
changing of bells and the booming Of
cannon made a volume of sound that
could be heard for miles, announcing to
the awaiting crowds that the presiden-
tial party was on its way to the Union
Iron works, where SO many vessels of
war like type have been constructed
during the last Is years.
A great fleet of craft Of every possible
description had preceded the president
out into the blue waters Of the bay all
loaded down to the waters edge with
masses of humanity anxious to do the
president honor. 1t was a glorious
sight Flags and bunting streamed from
their fastenings in the cool breeze flags
Huttered and streamers of national col
ors trailed in the wind. Bands played
popular airs and there was an incessant
cheering. Added to the noise which IS
sued from the smaller craft in the bay
was the boom of cannon from several
WarshlpS anchored in the haTbOr. All
along the water front the fleet of boats
were given ovations and returning
cheers and salutes were echoed all dowE
the bay
The Ohio party boarded the steamer
Mcdowell conveyed General Shafter

Barges without number, loaded to their
utmost capacity We're tozved down the
bay by powerful tugs and in and out of
the procession steamed the government
tugs Governor Markham and Governor
irwin, bearing Governor Gage and his
staff and other state officers.
President Mckinley arrived at Union
Iron works shortly after 10 o clock. There
ne found the 1900 employees assembled
in the big yard. The president was
greeted with cheer and was presented
with gold plate in memory OF the oc-
casion- He spoke briefly TO the men
thanking them for the gift and compli-

men After an inspection Of the works
Mr.. Mckinley went to a stand where

DUE TO SALT.
How the Rally Was Brought About
in Mrs McKinIey's Case.

San Francisco May 1S-It is learned
today that the rally which marked the
turning point in Mrs. McKinley's illness
came Immediately after treatment on
Thursday which included a saline in
lection directly into the blood Her pulse
showed quick improvement and she con-
tinued to improve all day yesterday.
Leading physicians who have been in
formed of the course of treatment which
has been pursued not only entertain the
hope but have confidence IN the pre-
scription, that the patient will have bet
ter health in the future than she has
had for many years. Yesterday she talk
ed to her attendants and smilingly told
one of her physicians that she wanted
fried chicken She made an effort to
get mp. contrary TO the advice of her
physicians.
The patient was blessed with several
hours of natural sleep early yesterday
morning. sOpiates were not administer
ed to invite sleep. but a powerful stimu-
liant was given to reinforce the action
Of the heart The expressed desire for
solid nourishment was accepted as
hopeful sign, hut the doctors believe it
is not prudent to oblige her in this re-
spect. It is yet impossible to determine
when Mrs. Mckinley viii be able to
leave this city for her home even If she
continues to improve as rapidly as ap-
peared before feverish symptoms We're
again noted last night.
Last evening it was thought at the
house that Mrs. Mckinley might be safe
ly nut on an eastbound train as early
as next Monday or Tuesday, but it is
more than likely that the Scott resi-
dence Will be the home of the president
for at least ten days to come.
In fact one circumstance indicated
strongly that the president and his off,
cial family may be compelled to remain
in the city for even a longer time than
that This fact is that the John Hooper
residence on the corner of Clay and
Laguna streets, has been offered to the
president for the use of the mem bers of
his cabinet in order that they might be
nearer to him for the consideration of
affairs of state. The offer was consider
