NJ. Goldberger, a royal privy coun-
cillor of commerce, who recently yis-

President Roosevelt in an interview

1.-The economic future belongs to
the United States and Germany, and
the welfare of both countries lies in
intelligent mutual esteem
Herr Goldberger makes compare

great deal of sharp criticism from
some of the London newspapers, re-
ports the New York Sun.
The Investigators application for
the job was answered by pier COM

ticulars as to the job:

GREAT HEAT OF METEORS.
me Have Fallen Upon the Earth
in the Form of Molten
Masses.

Ordinarily the meteors that flash
across the sky at stated periods of
time burn themselves out in the up
per air, but occasionally a meteoric
mass lasts long enough to reach the
earth One fell on May Is, 1900, at
Felix, Ala. Meteors were seen on
the occasion referred to and sundry
explosions were heard. while later
on mass of meteoric substance
weighing seven pounds was discov-
cred imbedded in soft soil. This
meteorite was analysed and found to
be built up of such minerals as
Divine, augite, triolite. nickel iron
and graphite carbon, says scien-
tific paper.
The dark color of the Felix stone
is stated to be due to the presence
| in fair amount of the last-named sub
stance. The interest attaching to
meteorites, of course, centers around
the fact that they enable us to OBJ
tain glimpses of the composition OF
other worlds than ours. Astronomy
is well agreed on the unity of chem
| ical composition which marks the
orbs, and even the simple fact that
it is hydrogen gas which blazes in
the sun and gives us our light and
heat is a testimony to this fact

EXPENSIVE COURTSHIP.
Although the Wealthy Banker Found
the Missing Coin, He Failed
to Return IT.

Recently a young Frenchman of
good family, but very poor, fell in
love with a bankers daughter, and,
obtaining a letter of introduction to
her father, called on him. He found
him at home, and a pleasant CONVEX
satiou followed.
AS he talked, however, the Young
man fumbled with a gold coin, the
only money he possessed, and when
he rose to take leave he removed it
from his waistcoat pocket and put it,
witht ut thinking, into his trousers
pocket. As he was strolling home be
looked for the coin. but, alas it was
not to be found, for there was small
hole in his trousers pocket and as
soon as he had put it in it fell noise
lessly on the velvet carpet in the
bankers drawing-room.
AS he sorely needed the money the
young man, though much against his
will, resolved to GO back and inquire
about it.
YES" said the banker as he en-
tered; ST found a gold coin on the
carpet as soon as you left the room.
and l was not surprised, for l lost a
similar coin in that very place two
days ago. This, therefore. is my
money, and we will now look for
| yours"
! The banker smiled as he spoke, but
/ the penniless young man turned his
back on him and abruptly left the
house.

The plan contemplates road north
