 After the conference General Shelley expressed great satisfaction with the meeting and said the attendance far ex- ceeded his expectations.

How P,ccadilIy ws. Named.

It's curious how the names of towns
and streets come from something that
has been the fashion of the day. Who
knows where the word "PIccadilly"
originated from, the name of that Won
derful street of which 1t is written
that "some make love and some make
poetry In Plccadill" The street was
built by n tailor named Higgins, whose
fortune was made in kind of collar
called Piccadel or Pickadlll or Picca-

that the street as 1t stands today was
built by him. but he erected n few
houses to which he gave the name the

Vitality of Hebrews.

II the future population of the earth
is TO be estimated on the basis of race
vitality, then there is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be In the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
is greater than that Of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it is due TO the
sanitary measures enjoiDed by their re-
ligion or because Of native vitality Is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
OF the race, and 1t Is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race distinctions. .-BOs-

for the reason that among men thor
oughbred means a man who devotes

good fellow. Make a speciality of re-

SPRlNkLlNG WAGONS.
The Modern Ones Big Improvement
ON the Old style.


The modern sprinkling wagon is very
different from the old timer. The chief
improvement is in the spray head.

flow of water much better than the old
style Thus, whether II Is dirt or a
macadnm road or stone paved or as
phaltcd street, there can be supplied
the amount of water required to lny
the dust in IT without waste.
The spray head on each side has Its
own valve rod running to the drivers
seat, with step there for the foot
The driver can operate both heads ut
once. or he can run only one head. He
can shut Off one or open either one at
pleasure. With this sort of wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crosswalks with perfectly defined lin
| its. and when lie comes To n carriage or
a street ear upon which he doesn't
want to throw water he shuts off the
fow on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made In
various sizes, ranging from lJO gallons
TO 1000 gallons capacity. There are %
sprnkllng wagons sold In this country

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
Transvahl, 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 were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg In its struggles 1t had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only II few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district n 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 rcdiscovered.
In the late seventies there was tire.
mendous excitement In California

pared to set out. with the discoverer of

1t is interesting to recall that. just
as Edward VII of England chose his
second baptsmal name as the one by
which he wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne, so like
wise his great-unclc, william Henry,
would have preferred to be known as
Henry IN. One of the reasons for this
preference was the desire to establish
lawful right to n title which had al
ready been arrogated by the cardinal
of York. the last of the Stuart pre-
tenders. When the question, however,
came up for discussion In the privy
council. the latter decided In favor of
King William ". This story was told
by the king himself to Miss Helen
Lloyd. the governess of his children.
lie added that the privy council was
moved to this choice partly by fear of
exciting the supersttious fears of the
populace, who still bore In their mem
ory Il prophecy dating from the seven
teenth century, which runs as follows:
Henry the Eighth pulled down monks and their
cells;
Henry the Ninth shall pull down bishops and
bells.
