which guarded it. Neither is it any great
trick TO dig for Captain Kidd's treasure.
1t is buried all along the coast, from South
Carolina to Maine. and there is so much of
it in Rhode Island that it forms practically
an unbroken line of treasure along the old
South county from the Pawcatuck to Pint
Judy Pint, across the islands and over to
Westport harbor. But it is another thing to
find it. The present writer was present on
the south coast of Rhode Island on one of
the few occasions when any of it was ever
found, having also assisted in burying it a
few hours before.
The probability is that William Kidd was
never a pirate at all, or at least no more
than half the mariners of that day were pi-
rates. 1t never was proved that he was one,
and never could be proved, even to the sat
isfaction of the unfair court which tried
him, and he was hanged, not for piracy,
but for the murder Of one Moore, a mem
Der of his crew, who, Kidd said, was in
mutiny when he killed him, and probably
he was.
Capt. William Kidd (whose prejudiced
chroniclers could not even get his name
right, and called him Robert) was a New
York man, and when the story says that a
New York man was a pirate and buried his
treasure in a bank paying no interest, in
Boston harbor, there is something wrong
with the story.

Trade in EmbIematic Signs.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

N1 0A
Trade in the gilded balls which may be
seen hanging outside pawnbrokers' stores
is said TO be growing brisker, but there
does not appear TO be any connection be-
tween this and the financial condition of
the country, unless il be that more are
able to go into the pawnbroking business.
"Gilded balls" said D. D~OvendOrf, a local
manufacturer and dealer, ARE made of
zinc or copper of various weights, in size
from four inches up TO eighteen inches,
varying in price from IS TO SO per set. Last
season. in New York alone, some seven
hundred balls were sold. While most of
these were sold to pawnbrokers, many were
used on flag and barber poles. Some en-
blematic signs are exported TO Europe, but
most of the business is done in the States;
our work goes all over this country.
Weather vanes, too, are sold in numbers
ranging in price from 81 TO 800. although
recently one was specially designed for the
Grand Central Stations vane at a cost OF
$50. COpper-cable lightning rods are grow
ing out of use. especially in the cities, be-
cause the new steel structures are them
selves good conductors, and rods, conse-
quently, do not attract electricity. Flag
poles are more in demand. Apparently
Americans are growing more patriotic.
Last year. within one month. two poles
were erected on the Knickerbocker Ath-
letic Club at a cost OF 5000 each, the former
two having been torn into splinters by
lightning. Recently there was a pole $50
feet in height erected on Ellis island at the
cost of $500. An additional $50 was paid for
a metal eagle that was placed on top.
costing SO to SIS, are not much in demand;
there is. however, a considerable sale for
metallic ships for fishing clubs, selling
around 500.

A Poets Belief.
w. L. Alden's Letter.

" L. - - $1,000
Mr.. Yeats. the Irish poet, has announced
his belief in magic. If he derives any
satisfaction from this belief, no one will
grudge il 70 him. Ii is odd that quite a
number Of persons VINO are thoroughly
convinced that s~piritualism is an imposture
are. nevertheless, ready 10 admit that there
may be something in magic. 1t was from
people of this class. rather than from Spir-
itUalists. that Madame Blavatsky gained
her recruits. Mr.. Yeats's argument in sup
port OF his theory that magic is a true
science are not particularly convincing.
But. then, professors OF magic are not, as
a rule. convincing. except TO those who are
anxious TO be convinced.
L remember Madame Blavatsky, after a
good dinner. smoking her interminable
cigarettes, and asserting that no one could
attain to her magical powers except by
the path OF strict asceticism. Mr.. Yeats Is
evidently sincere in his belief; and the ar
ticle i'm the Monthly Review. in which he
makes his profession of faith is, certainly
"a readable one. But we must remember
that Mr.. Yeats is not only a poet. but a
Celtic poet. and that il is, therefore, a
matter Of necessity for him to be mystical
above his fellows. At the same time. IL is
not very probable that he will gain many
converts 10 his creed. TIL public may
find magic in his verse: but they will hard
~ accept the assertion that he can make
his thoughts visible IN corporeal form.

MONKS IN
Invasion of Great Britain by Religious
Orders.
London Mail.

London Mail.
England is rapidly becoming a headquar-
tiers for nan Roman Catholic orders and
congregations. The entire liberty here
granted to men of all faiths, the freedom
from irritating restrictions, and the Sc
curity of. tenure present great attractions
to the prudent heads of continental estab-
lishments. The present great rush from
France owing to the associations law
which started two lays ago-is only part OF
a lOng-continued movement.
There are to-day, apart from the new
corners from France, some fifty different
religious orders for men working in this
country, with 235 monasteries or congrega-
ton houses. In Wales there are a dozen,
and in Scotland eleven. Several are planted
in the very heart of London-one almost
under the shadow of St. Paul'S. Others
stand watch and ward on the bleakest
headlandS of the Highlands.
Who are these monks? How do they live?
What do they do?
Their lives are as varied as that Of the
outer world. There is the bearded, work
aday Franciscan living in the slums Of
South London, maintaining hospitals for
the sick and caring for the poor, after the
manner of his founder of Assist. There
is the rigid Carthusian in the great monas-
terry at Parkminster-reputedly the largest
Carthusian monastery in the ~world-living
a life of the most severe asceticism. con-
fined mostly to his cell. never tasting flesh
meat, fasting three times a week. There
are some Benedictines in Devonshire who
run a great patent medicine factory. which
they advertise in their own press after the
usual fashion Of that class Of goods.
