days work he was able to go ahead
without the aid of lamp. Then the
mineral became a curiosity and some
of it was taken to Boise. 1t was ex-
amined, but there has been no one who
is able to tell just what it is.
''Mr Ayres took a piece of 1t to his
cabin, and after night tried to make it
show light, but it was not so bright
as it had been in the tunnel. This is at
tributed to the atmospheric conditions,
and is undoubtedly true, for in the eX-
periments that have been made with
it in Boise we have been able to re-
produce the atmospheric conditions in
water that prevail where the mineral
is found, and therefore it is not
thought that we will have any trouble
in getting the desired result
so far as we have been able to
learn, this is the first of the mineral
ever found in the world. All assayers
to whom we have shown it say they
never heard of it before, and they are
not able to tell what it is. We will
go ahead and try to put it to some use,
and even at the present time are rea-
sonably sure of success. If it does
come out as we expect, the mine will
be more valuable than we ever be-
lieved.
There is a large body of the deposit,
and the farther We go in the stronger
becomes the light. Another thing that
we are convinced Of is that, if We can
make it practical, it will be perpetual
light. for in the throwing off of it's rays
there does not appear to be any waste
of the mineral. Since the discovery
there has been large number of visit
ors to the mine, and the outcome Is
being watched by all in the vicinity Of
where the deposit was uncovered"

That man need have neither hands
nor feet to be a success in the world
is shown by the career of Michael Jo-
seph Bowling, speaker Of the Mime
sofa house Of representatives. A ter
rible experience in blizzard when
boy brought out the latent possibilities
In the youth as nothing else that could
happen to him might have done. Forty
years ago Bowling was born in yell
low Medicine county, Minnesota, the
son Of a poor farmer. Early in De-
cember, 1880. as is told by writer
in the st. Louis Republic. hard biz
zard set in in Yellow Medicine county,
and in a short time provisions were
low. 1t was unsafe to venture out Of
doors, and every effort was made to
make the food in the Bowling family
last until the blizzard should have
spent its fury. But the blizzard lasted
for an unusually long period, and 1t
became necessary to get more food or
starve. The elder Bowling was Ill,
and the young man started or foot
for the village, three miles distant, to
get provisions. He reached the village
grocery store with less difficulty than
he had expected. and was soon on his
return laden with -four, meal and other
stores. He soon found that the trip
homeward was not as easy as the first
half Of his journey, but he ploddsd
on with head down to protect his face
from the blasts Of wind and snow.
Suddenly he discovered that he was
off the road He tried to find 1t. but
was unsuccessful. The wind was get
ting colder and colder He became
more and more bewildered. With
logged determination he trudged on
and on holding his precious bundles
of food nearer to him. In the storm
he could not find a single familiar
landmark. After hours of aimless
wandering night fell, and the farmers
son was still struggling through the
snow.
The next morning dawned bright
and clear. The blizzard had passed
on toward the Great Lakes. Bowling
found himself within hundred yards
of his own home. But he could not
walk further, and mis- voice could not
be heard five feet away. He sank down
exhausted. almost within reach of his
home and gave up all hope Of reach
ing it. But his mother saw him fall

, and in the course of it remarked that
he believed the republican party need
not fear the mugwumps as the latter
were a lot OF "marsupials." Some $500
men heard the word, and after the
meeting groups got together to discuss
the meaning of the word and it's ap-
plication. Some went home to look at
their dictionaries, while others called
on Mr.. Evarts for an explanation.

of small fruits and in orchards. The
farmers of Connecticut have 5000 900
peach trees now against 100, 900 in 1890
and the product of the orchards Of the
state now exceeds that of Delaware.
But most New England farmers hesi-
tate to adopt new methods of making
money. Not that they are unwilling
to add to their revenues, but they arc
naturally conservative and inclined to
keep to the old way of doing things.
When the farm gets mortgaged and
the buildings become leaky and hard
to maintain, the discouraged tillers
of the soil are pretty sure to conclude
that they can obtain better living
in the city or town. The result is an
exodus of farming communities
throughout New England. To counter
act this outflow we have the ever-ex-
banding trolley road system, the In.
flux of summer residents, who often
buy the abandoned acres and live upon
them large portion Of the year, and
the occasional determination of the
farmer to stick 1t out" and change the
character of his crops.
The centers of population are IN.
creasing in numbers. Some cities and
large towns show a smaller population
than In 1890. but these are the excep.
lions. not the rule.

Rural Districts Are Not ~ Badly OF AS
Reported.
So much has been written about the
declining hill towns of New England
that many of us, remembering how
large a portion of the country east OF
the Hudson is hilly, have come to the
conclusion that practically all the re-
gion outside the cities and larger towns
is gradually losing its population. In
fact, as a study of the census bulle-
tins for the six New England states
shows, practically one-half the entire
number of minor civil divisions" in
New England increased In population
during the ten years from 1880 to 1900.
The fact that rather more than one
half declined in population Is In itself
striking, but when we recall the many
reasons for the efflux OF inhabitants it
is surprising that almost as many cit
les, towns, townships, precincts. cores
and grants-to give the several lesig-
nations-have gained in numbers as
have lost. The tendency Is away from
many of our small towns. The farm
ing lands Of New England cannot raise
such bountiful crops Of the old-fash-
Toned sort as the fertile fields Of the
west. There Is hope in the cultivation
