Twenty Lost Gold MineH

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
In various parts of the world. Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There is one in the north of the
Transvaal, for instance, that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two EngliShmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had, as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they We're up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with 4
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only few inches be
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
to start work on the mine. But in
spite Of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the mine
has not been rediSCOyered.
In the late seventies there was tre-
mendOuS excitement In California
when a prospector described a gold
mine he had found. \ party soon pre-
pared To set out, with the discoverer Of
the mine as guide, but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.

Barometric Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind of weather to be ex
pected. At least this is the opinion OF
many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling all
at once. A few go out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers TO
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to disSipate, and
II is only then that the battalions en-
tire rush out in search Of their nectar.
A bee never goes out in fog, because
IL Is well aware that dampnesS and
cold are two fearsome, redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however,
that the bee is meteOrologist In the
absolute sense of the word. Its clever
ness consists In never being taken I'M
awares, for 1t possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud
den entrance Of bees into the hive
when a dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain Is not IN evidence.

Ing on the ground, sleeping the sleep Of

side. The proctor awoke him and sent
him to bis college with an order to
appear the next day for judgment
The culprit turned up in "A highly con
tritc frame of mind. White said to
him: You deserve an exemplary pun

stance which shows YOU are not wholly
degraded. Your clothes were folded
up by your side, indicating habits Of

HIGHWAY ALLIANCE.
New Organization Whose Object IL
Road Improvement.

The expressed objects and intentions
Of the Highway Alliance, a new good
roads organization just incorporated
IN New York with its headquarters in
New York city, should leave no doubt
as to the usefulness, both local and ma
tional, Of such an organization. Here
are some of the more important OBJ
jects for which the alliance exists:
Il. Public agitation for highway i'm
provement. .. Obtaining and publish
ing information relating to highways.
3. Proposal of laws and ordinances for
highway opening, construction, main.
tenancc and traffic. T. Opposing pro.
posed laws and ordinances tending tC
diminish the usefulness Of highways
>. Urging the public authorities to i'm.
prove the highways and keep them in
repair. 6. Assisting in the yindicatiOr
of the highway rights Of the public and
also aiding any person whose rights
have been infringed while using the
highways or as a consequence of such
use whenever the board of directors OF
this corporation, in their discretion
consider that the usefulness of high
ways viii be advanced"
The Highway Alliance will introduce
a new feature so far as concerns its
membership. In order that it shall no
be obligatory upon all who join the al
lance to give to it their support finan
cially, two grades of membership viii
be in force, persons belonging to ont
grade to be known as active or con
tributing members and those belong
ing to the other as general or sympa
thetic members. Any one in the latte
grade may change his status whcneve
he likes upon payment of the dues of 1
contributing member for one year.

COOL $50 FOR A PEACs.
Experience of an American VINO
Took Fruit In France.


A well known insurance man of New
York recently had some amusing expe-
riences IN Paris, says the New York
Press. AT the Cafe Ritz, seeing a fine
basket Of fruit on the table, he per
suaded his wife to eat a peach while
waiting for luncheon to be served.
When the bill was rendered, there was
a charge for fruit, 10 francs" He
protested. One peach for SO was little
more than he thought an American
should stand. The manager was SUM-
moned. "You have destroyed the deco
ration of the table" he explained. you
should not have eaten the peach. You
will see there Is no fruit on the bill of
fare" well, when fruit isn't to be
eaten why don't you put a fence around
1t and hang out sign? / refuse to pay
that charge. 1t is an outrage" In a
very short time our fellow Countryman
had broken a walters nose and kicked
him into the street, for which display
Of valor a gendarme hauled him to the
police station.
When the American consul was IN
formed of the trouble, he sent Mr..
Bowen to look after the prisoner, and
no sooner had that gentleman heard
the story than he advised our friend TO
close the case at once by paying his bill
as charged and giving the waiter a
handsome tip to soothe his injured
feelings. Some diplomacy was required
to induce the garcon to withdraw his
complaint, but in the end everything
was settled for about $50. The deputy
consul general said privately as he and
the victim of French persecution left
the station: You got Off light. In Paris
never strike q Frenchman. As for that
peach, you were absolutely wrong. Why
didn't you call for messenger and
send the basket to your hotel| THE
basket to my hotel? Why, man, at SO q
peach 1t would have cost me $50 or
$50" "No, no. You don't understand.
When you took the peach, you spoiled
the decoration of the table, therefore
the basket and It's contents were your
property for the $3." why in thunder
didn't the scoundrel say SOP? ut is
