Mines on Mountain Tops.

Nothing in engineering is more romantic
or curious than the fashion in which the or
binary conception OF a mine as an opening
penetrating far below the ordinary level 10
reversed where inducements offer to climb
high above the earth's surface before p.erc-
ing into it.
There il. for instance. the Eureka gold
mine-probahly the highest In the world
situated 1900 feet up in the Andes range,
not far from the city OF JGjuy. in Argentina
So high Is this mine that II Is only worked
with great difficulty owing to the noun
tain sickness" and to similar troubles to
which workers at this immense altitude
almost three miles In the air-are subject.
Near Chocaya, in Bolivia. there is the
Veta del CUadr mine. where silver ore
IS extracted 1860 feet above sea level. while
the same metal is wrought near Peopo, In
the Cordilleras. 12.4o0 feet above
The produce from all these is carried on
muleback over tremendous mountain paths
to points where il can be placed on rail, or
be concentrated into more portable form
for further transit by wagon to the sea-
board, says Stray Stories.
A very curious old mine with many ro-
mantle associations Is that at Quindio, In
the United States of Colombia. where CHINA
bar-the ore of mercury-has been wrought
from the time of the earliest Spanish ex-
plorerE. almost 30 years ago. at a spot TO-
coo feet above the sea- Its locality Is further
remarkable as being one of the wettest
places on the globe. 1t Is exceptional for
the rain to cease throughout the greater
part of the year.

Costly Souvenirs Presented
by King of Bavaria

An incident occurred during the rehearsal
of that melodrama. which. though trivial
enough. emphasized at the time the pathos
of her position. It should be remembered
that when she came to this country she
brought with her d magnificent collection Of
Jewels. many of them costly souvenirs pre-
scented to her by the King of Bavaria. and
which were afterwards exhibited in the
West by her agent as an advertisement.
In the malodrama she calls upon a wom-
an who has stolen some valuable gems. and
that woman expresses some surprise at her
mean appearance. to which she is made to
reply: 81 do not wear d~iamonds-I buy
themr' At the first utterance Of these words
they seemed to call up her past. and. turn
ing to the author OF the play, who stood
In the wing. she said: All, 1 can no longer
buy or wear them"
It was in that play that we saw for the
last time the puissance OF the past flame up
and the majesty of an old histrionism walk
imperiously with reviving strength in among
the nttleneeses of the present. commanding
the obeisance of every eye and ear.
From that time Janauschek disappears
from theatrical record. The world is too
busy TO chronicle her private sorrows or her
remembered virtues. She passes, heavily
laden with her honors, into the seclusion OF
age and decrepitude. Eager young favorfteS
come now and then to see her in out of the
rooms. and try to capture her for a
Frochard in 1.-THE Two Orphans" or to do
an act Of Mary Stuart for a benefit. But
she puts OF her iron spectacles and raps
on her table with her xrinkled knuckles.
and says: "Gott in Himmel, my child. What
for shall I come again to what has forgot
ten me?'
In such a figure, dramatic art. such as

Of a career as of an epoch. At the grave OF

Her Talent Not
Balanced by Judgment.

One dissolute agent, who for several years

her financially than all her own mistakes
He placed her in the wrong houses, mangled

dragged her about the vast circuits OF the
country with little regard for her age and
no consideration for her reputation. In this
prolonged transforming tia eounty saw hae

It would be hardly possible for such a
temperament to manage her affairs to ulti-
mate success in competition with the enter
prtses of swift and plunging managers and
in opposition te the quick sh~rewdness and
brilliant audacity of American SPECTATORS
There was something frugal and obstinate
both in her adherence to the classic drama
of Germany ard IT her practical manage
ment of affairs, but combined with II was
an overeasy confidence in her incompetent
agents. She never could avail herself OF the
