IL is the woman who boards who be-

boards who becomes fippsnt, not the

Children brought up In a boarding

MONOPOLY OF SNOW.

One OF me most curious monopolies IN
the world Is that OF the Prince OF Paler-
mo. who has right OF ownership in all
the snow which lies on the mountains OF
northern Sicily. The snow is gathered
in felt-covered baskets and carried to the
lowlands, where II is sold retailing at n
cent pound. In Palermo "a is used for
making those delicious Ices for which the
Palermo cooks are famous. The right of
obtaining and selling the snow II let out
by the Prince 10 contractors. and from
tho money so obtained tho Prince derives
the larger part OF HIS income. Another
singular way OF raising money has been
put i'm practice in Hesse. where a bachelor
has To pay 25 per cent more taxes than
a married man. In Greece the government
increases It's income by a monopoly OF
playing cards. and in ssnce the govern
ment has a monopoly OF the tobacco trade
of matches. gunpowder. telegraphs, telc-
phones and railways.

BELTS OF RICH DEPOSIT.

The French scientist Professor Moraux
calls attention to the fact that the occur
renee OF most minerals is confined to
certain degrees of latitude on both hemi-
spheres. Extensive and valuable de-
posits az hituminous coal have almost ex-
clusively been discovered between the
fortieth and hfty-sixth degrees OF iati-
tude The worlds principai oil felds are
situated, without exception. between the
thirty-seventh and forty-fifth degrees,
but occur chiefly on tho sfortieth degree
OF latitude. Phosphates are principally
found between the thirtieth and fortieth
degree, but also in the vicinity of the fif-
tisth. while the leading salt deposits.
both rock salt and saltpetre, occur mainly
between the fortieth and nfty-1fth de-
grees, but also between the thirty-third
and fortieth degree. Diamonds are
found on the twentieth and twenty
seventh degrees. on the former I'm Brazil
and India. and on the latter In South
Africa and Australia. Quicksilver occurs
chiefly between the thirty-fifth and forty
nth degrees, while gold and silver make
a remarkable exception in this natural
division. The geological formations are
usually the same on all degrees. and Pro-
fessor Moraux Ia of the opinion that the
Sahara desert buries in it's bosom just as
valuable deposits OF saltpetre as does
Chile. The Sahara Is situated between
the fourteenth and thirty-fourth degrees
OF latitude, and the great saltpetre de-
posits of Chile occur I'm the desert of Alta
CANA. between the eighteenth and TWEEN
ty-fourth degrees OF latitude. NJ. Moraux
is further OF the opinion that diamond
fields exist In the Sahara, the latter being
crossed ny the twentieth and twenty
seventh degrees, tho same on which the
diamond fields Of South Africa and India
are situated. The mountains In those dis
tricts OF the great African desert ara
said 90 show the same geological forma-
tions ss those Iva South Africa and Indis.
rhe Tibesti and Tuat mountains in the
Sahara are said to show tho same form
alton as the gold and silver bearing Alps
OF the South American Andes, n fact from
which Professor Moraux concludes that
gold and silver deposits will also he found
in the Sahara desert.

There was no hitch In the performance

In speaking of the matter. Manager
Lovenberg of Keirhs Theatre said: "As
far as this house is concerned the dem
onstration OF strength on the part or the
Rats. as they intended 81 to DC. has been
and will be a fizzle. for we have been
ready at any moment TO I'll the place of

dence Opera House last evening kindly Of

but fortunately, / was not compelled to
avail myself OF his klndness."
MR.. ALBEE's STATEMENT.
Mr.. F.. r. Albee, proprietor of Keith's
Theatre, was seen IA New York. and ne
said: "One thing that don't think the
public clearly understands, is that this
strike is not a labor strike. These men
are not contending tor living wages. The
majority of those who have quit work
draw more than $500 a week. Why, i'm my
Providence theatre last week, l took I'm
something more than $500. and / paid
my performers $500
''Out OF the balance. after expenses were
paid. had little more than $40 for my
self. Only three OF the performers drew
less than $l00
80 IL seems to me that fhere ~ no oe-
casion for public sympathy toward the
performers I'm this struggle. They have
broken their contracts ruthlessly, without
any consideration for the managers. and
their demands arc OF the most arbitrary
and autocratic character The managers
certainly will make no concessions"
Mr.. r. r. Keith added that he had been
advised that he had good cause for action
against the performers who withdrew at
his theatres. but he had not decided
whether or not he would proceed legally
