There were but few visitors to the

A number of artistic woven waste

During the translation of the rules
by Interpreter Bush, the Republican

Oxygen parties are now the rage in
fashionable circles. The gas has the
property of reyiving tired nerves and
bodies in way which no tonic can
equal. 1t is supplied in tanks, and the
guests inhale it through long tubes
just as Turkish smokers do tobacco
smoke from a hookah. The firm of
Ellsworth, who supply the gas, is rap
idly reaping a fortune. and this for
tune they will owe, indirectly at least,
to the novelist, Jules Verne.
One of Jules Verne's books-"Dr
Ox's Experiment with scien-
fist who flooded Il little sleepy Dutch
town with oxygen, and thereby pro-
duced fruit and vegetables such as the
world had never before seen. Incl
dentally, its effect was also to render
the phlegmatic Dutchmen violently
quarrelsome. The perusal of this book
gave the head Of a firm of chemical
engineers the idea which is now caus-
ing such delight to bored people of
fashion.

prophecies and inventions. which have.
since he wrote of them, become actual

individual rising from poverty to rich

by a story than was Claude Leverson

novelist describes how party climbed
down the crater of an extinct Icelandic
volcano, anad so reached the inner re-
cesses of the earth. Young Leverson.
who was at school when he read the
book. made up his mind to copy the
adventures of his hero. and many
years afterward did actually explore the
craters of a number of unmapped peaks
in New Granada. 1t was in 1894,
while camped on the shores of the
river which fills the old crater pit at
the top of the San Geronimo Mountain
that he made his famous discovery of
the Geronimo emerald field, which has

hence, use no money at all. 1t is,
therefore, rather curious that the book
should have been the means of bring
ing a large fortune to an enterprising
American who started a colony in Mex
leo on the lines laid down by Bellamy.
TIL colonists used no money, but they
grew immense quantities of fruit and
corn, which their manager, whose
name was Daily, sold for the public
good, and bought with the money such
supplies as they needed. No one seems
to have called on Daily for accounts
of his transactions; but one day he
disappeared. and it was found that he
had taken with him nearly $4,000,
which his colonists had been kind
enough to make for him.

BILE for the millions of James McKen-
ma, the finder of the Half-Moon Creek
diggings in Alaska. 1t was a poem Of
Bret Harte's, written thirty years ago,
which put it into McKenna's head to
go to Alaska. In the poem in question
Bret Harte describes miner as WELD

The famous Mason and Dixon line
is being relocated The eastern part
was originally marked by stone monu-
ments at equal distances Of one mile.
Many of these stones have been re
moved or destroyed The western por-

traversing the region was marked by
wooden posts, cut on the spot and Sc
cured in place by mounds of earth or
stone piled around them. These posts
have disappeared, but some Of the
monuments remain. 1t is believed that
enough Of them can be recovered to
enable a relocation of the boundary

Coal Is still the great fuel and viii
always be Indispensable, yet part Of
it's functions have been usurped by
water Capital is recognizing the po-
tentiallties Of water as a power pro-
ducer, and there is a general trend
backward toward a system which was
once universal. Before the advent Of
steam, flowing water was working
away in harness, but its more volatile
rival displaced it for a time. The old
order is coming back again, though in
larger development. Take Niagara
Falls, for instance. No longer looked
upon merely as stupendOus freak of
nature, the cataract is made the servant
of man, and the enormous power it rep
resents is making the country lying
within sound of its roar an industrial
center of the first Importance. One of
the places at which natures energies
have been going to waste is the 800"
where Lake Superior's waters tumble
out into the lower lakes through a series
Of rapids. The difficulty in the way of
the utilization of this force has been
in transmitting the power over long dis
tances; but that problem is being solved
by the electricians. Already in Califor-
MIA they are carrying the current for
nearly 200 miles. against Il record of
about seventy miles a year or two ago.
Electricity generated from water
courses and from other hidden sources
Of energy will probably soon free the
mind of man from fear of a coal fam
inc and from coal miners strikes.

Petroleum for Fuel.

1t is reported that the United States
Bureau of Steam Engineering has ex-
perimented successfully with the use
of liquid fuel. A ton of oil, it is said,
gives about twice as much heat as a
ton of coal; among the advantages
claimed for it are ease of handling,
since it can be run into the tanks and
carried into the furnaces without the
use of hand power.

History will smile hereafter at the

are officers Of the court and the con

ment of three. 1t will be worth while
to watch the length of time required
TO make the minority opinion the judg-
