The Greatest Producing District In
the World.

The story of zinc mining in SOUTH
west Missouri, the greatest zinc-pro-.
ducing district in the world, possesses
many Of the interesting features of
romance, and In the rapid rise of this
important American industry some
facts seem strangely like fiction.
For many years. miners were grovel-
ing in the shallow dfggings of South
west Missouri, taking out lead ore.
Occasionally they encountered a pc
culiar dark. hard and brittle sub
stance, which they threw away as
worthless, not approaching its value
and never dreaming that the time
would come when this seemingly
worthless substance would yield re-
turns of millions of dollars and great
zinc mines would take the place of the
gopher holes" made in digging for lead.
1t was thus by chance that zinc ore was
discovered in what is now known as
the Missourf-Kansas mining district,
which embraces the richest zinc-pro-
ducing mines in the world.
In 1872 several hundred pounds of
this unknown stuff, which was neither
lead nor rock M dirt, was sent to an
Illinois smelter to be tested. It was
pronounced zinc ore of the highest
grade, and a new American industry
was inaugurated. Its rise has been
sure and steady. From an Insignificant
output of ore, netting but meager re-
turns, this industry has advanced until
zinc mining has become one of the
great wealth producers of the age in
America as we'll as in Europe.-Nation-

NOVEL BOAT CONTROLLER.
Device to Direct Vessels Movement:
From Land.

Charles Alden, Of Dorchester, Mass,
recently completed series Of expert
ments by which he is enabled to con-
troll all the movements of a boat In
midstream while sitting on the bank,
says a Boston special to the New York
Times.
The device used Is similar to the
wireless telegraph The scene of his
operations is at Milton, on the Nepon-
set river. Here a long pole wound
with two large coils Of wire is set in
the ground near to an eight volt bat
terry, generator and a transmitter. The
boat, which is seven feet long, is fitted
with an elaborate receiving apparatus
By means of the transmitter on the
shore the inventor sends wireless i'm

pulses to the boat and is able to make
1t weigh anchor, cast of, go ahead,
back water and perform all other
movements of a real vessel
Alden states that it will be easy to
put such an apparatus into operation
in a large boat, the only thing neces-
sary being to direct and send the i'm
pulse from the transmitter on shore to
the receiver on the boat.
The inventor is now at work on a
model of a Hfeboat to be similarly
managed, and he believes the device
can be put into practice on big boats.

AN ABODE OF THE DEAD.
Not Cemetery. as Might he In Inferred.
But the Great British
Museum.

To say that the British museum is a
dead museum may sound like fiat bias
phemy to those old habitues Of the insti-
tuition TO whom its atmosphere is almost
the breath of their life, and to whom its
treasures of antiquity and art are GER
tainly the Gourishment of their minds
and souls. But apart from this little
band of devout worshippers at the shrine
OF learning the British museum seems to
me quite dead-as dead as a door nail,
says Philip Gibbs. In the London Mail.
l have been there many a time. and
went there again and walked through
long and silent galleries peopled only by
the gods of Egypt, India, China. or an
cient Greece and Rome. and thronged
only by those wonderful works of sculp-
ture wrought by cunning hands long
crumbled into the dust of past ages, but
whose spirit of beauty and reverence still
fingers in these heroes and heroines of
old renown.
In some of the rooms one may see
few nursemaids relieving the tedium Of
their daily walk through Bloomsbury by
bringing their little charges to the mu-
scum, where they may amuse themselves
and get material for bad dreams while
the nurses themselves have quiet Cos
sip.
In the holiday season. also. one NAV
see troops of Americans passing swiftly
through the galleries doing" the mu-
scum with wonderful dispatch and com
menting with western levity upon the
relics of ancient civilization and the
bones of prehistoric men.
But the Londorer does not come. The
time that he can spare from lunch hour
he devotes to walk up Cheapside. the
Strand or Holborn. ito look at the
shops. The days work done he takes
the first train home. On Saturday after
noon he prefers a matinee, a game of
tennis or cricket. or a few hours on the
river. | Go not blame him altogether.
but the fact remains that the British
museum is to him an abode of the dead
which he regards with the same repug-
nance as tomb.

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.

Whether the basis provided by the
Fourteenth amendment is wise OF
not is another question. While It's
purpose was to guarantee equal
rights, it would, if put in operation,
bring pressure to bear on the States
to debase their electorate. States
which, like Massachusetts, tried to
secure intelligent voting, would be
penalized, as would Southern States
which might, without any discriml'
nation against the negro, try in entire
good faith to keep government IN
the hands of industrious and lntelli'
gent men. This Government was
not founded on universal suffrage. 1t
was later development, aided by
politicians wanting new and
ignorant voters to use. Perhaps 1t
is now so established that there j.
nothing to fear from further pressure
to make more ignorant voters or to
prevent reaction in favor Of
educational or property qualih'
cations. But if there are States
where limited sufrage-limited in
good faith by equal laws without
race discrimination-i is thought to
be in the interests of civilization and
honest government, a Federal law
which offered a premium for the
sway of ignorance and irresponsi'
bility would seem to be of doubtful
wisdom.-New York Tribune.

ticket. German is a good all-around
man. He has been tried and has
shown his worth. 1t seems to me
that the party ought to nomi-
nate some man who has had public
experience, and Senator German
fills this bill.
1.-TWO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS F.
Shivelev and Robert w. Miers, the
latter the present member from the
Second district-are being proml-
nently mentioned for the Vice-Presi-
Dental nomination. l think the
States delegation to the next
national convention will demand the
second place on the ticket, and con-
sidering the Importance OF the
electoral vote of the State to the
Democratic party there is likely to
be a tendency among the delegates
to listen to Indiana's claims IN that
respect. Either Shiveley or Miers
would strengthen the ticket.
"In my opinion the main issue IN
the next campaign will be the tariff y
concluded Mr.. Griffith. "Thereisun
doubtedly a strong sentiment all
over the country for tariff revision.
Nearly every Republican member OF
Congress admits that the tariff ought
to be revised in some particular, but
very few of them can agree upon the
revision of even one schedule. The
consequence is that the Republican
party is practically solid against any
desirable revision and can be de-
pended upon to maintain thepresent
tariff rates. 1t seems to me that this
affords the Democratic party a
splendid opportunity and a winning
issue"
