IS GREATER THAN ROYALTY ITSELF.

an air of enthusiasm and mystery
about these proceedings that we never
doubted for moment that we were
about to witness a great discovery.
after he had completed the arrange
ment of his bottles and boxes and light
ed his gas burner he took the cover
from little iron box, into which he
poured a few drops of a whitish mix
ture from tiny vial. Immediately there
was a sizzling in the bottom of the
box. Then he took one of the sn aller
fish from the bowl and placed it in the
box.
"'Ah, this fish, he said, has been
subjected to the process for ten days,
and, consequently, there are seventy
grains of gold incrusted in it's scales
and fins
"As he finished speaking there was a
great ziZzling and bubbling in the bot
tom of the box. Then he set up a small
thin steel plate over the gas burner,
which in few moments was white hot
Then he took the fish from the little
box and laid it on the steel plate, where
in a few seconds it was transformed to
a white einder, which f1oated away and
crumbled into dust. But where the Gin
der was on the steel plate was a small
bubble of what appeared to be pure
gold. Turning off the gas burner he
poured some ice cold water over the
steel plate and then, with a pair. of
tweezers, caught up the little nugget of
gold and handed it to us.
Take that to any jeweler,' he said,
and learn II II is not. pure gold
I'VE left him then, promising to meet
him in the hotel that night and went
Immediately to a jeweler with the little
nugget of gold. The jeweler told US that
it was pure gold and worth about 81.
ENTER A PARTNERSHIP.
well, to make it short, we met our
scientific friend that night and were
readily persuaded to enter into part
nefship with him in a gigantic scheme
to convert goldfish into gold and as
guarantee of our good faith each gave
him 500 to bind a partnership agree
ment He told us that he would meet
us in the hotel parlor the next morning,
when we would talk over the plans for
launching our great enterprise. That
night we both dreamed of untold wealth.
The next morning we were in the hotel
parIor at the appointed time, but there
was no sign of the venerable scientist.
We waited for an hour and still he did
not come
"It was not until we had waited for
two hours that we awoke to the fact
that we had been beautifully bunkoed.
We inquired of the hotel clerk about our
venerable friend, but he had not seen
him and knew nothing about him. So
we started for the laboratory in South
street. but as we had not thought to
take the number of the house and as
most of the houses look alike, our search
brought no results Then we decided
that we had seen about all of New York
that we cared to, went back to our no
tel and packed up, arriving at the con-
ciusion that Kansas was about our linn
it."

New Haven. Conn, Feb. n.-Colunlbia
will not appear on the Yale football
schedule for next fail. The presence of
Lancon and Kingdom on the Columbia
eleven last fall created an unpleasantneSs
which called forth incisive opinions from
Yale's leaders ar that time. There has
Sbeen a chance that G. Foster Sanford s

Morley as CoIuTnbia's head coach has re-

AS to the growth Of the divorce evil it is apparent from this state
ment: Not a single divorce was granted in the New England colonies.
Yet in the FIVE years ending in 1897 Massachusetts granted 1894;
Vermont, 57I, and in one year Connecticut, the land of steady habits
granted one divorce for every ten marriages.
Obviously a halt should be called to all this. The home, which is
the unit Of the nations strength, should be protected.
