A Significant Change.

The change in the attitude of east
ern investors toward mining enter
prises is one of the most significant
this change is in the fact that divi-
dends from the mines have had such
an abnormal growth during the past
few years Men are always attracted
to enterprises that pay, and the pay
ment of S12,00O,0 900 in dividends in a
single month has done more to dis
abuse the public mind regarding the
business of mining than the reports
of all the engineers. in the country.
which are not understood by one
per cent. of the investing public.
Another important factor in this
change of sentiment is the fact that
the people are gradually becoming
more familiar with the business end
of mining. 1t is no longer believed
that gold can be picked up on the sur
face by the ton. 1t is known that a
mine must in the first place have
values that will bear transportation
and treatment; that the ore can be
mined and treated at cost within
the gross value; that the margin of
profit will be large enough to pay
dividends commensurate with the
profits of industrial enterprises of like
magnitude; that the determination of
these facts depends upon the develop
ment of the property and exhaustive
tests of the ores; that having been
once determined there is no business
which pays so well in proportion to
the investment.
All miners hail the new order of
things now coming in with delight, for
an intelligent investigation is all that
is needed to establish the status of
any mining enterprise. When men
understand and investigate a propo-
sition any Investment made is likely
to stick and to bring others.-Ores

The Vessel Went Down.

At an amateur dramatic perform.
ancc in the naval academy on April
list one of the instructors played a new
April fool joke. The audience had as
sembled and everything was in read
mess for the curtain to be rung up,
when one of the instructors made his
appearance. carrying in hand a tele-
gram. Il wish to make an announce
ment-a very sad announcement" he
said IN funeral tones. Under the cir
Gums tances 1t scarcely seems fitting
that the entertainment should pro-
coed. Word has just been received
1t one of the navy's vessels has gone
down with all on board." A hush of
horror followed this,-gravely delivered
speech, for most of those in the audi
ence were connected by close family
. ties with the navy. What was the
name OF the vesse1?". came n voice
from the rear of the hall. The sub

VALUE OF AUTOMOBILES.
Will Greatly Enlarge soe,aI and Busl-
ness Possibilities.

With the universal adoption OF the
motor car, which we are told to ex-
pect in the very near future, we shall
be able to live three times as much N
the same span of years, our horizon
will be extended and our lives will be
wider and more interesting.
The motor age, on which we have
already entered-according to Henry
Norman, who contributes an interest
ing forecast to the Worlds Work.
will effect revolution as remarkable
as that brought about by the steam 20
comotive.
THE average radius of the horse
keeper of to-day" says Mr.. Norman.
"is twelve miles. With car of ten
or twelve horsepower the radius of
the whole family is comfortably thirty
miles.
THE area of circle whose radius
Is twelve miles is 452 square miles,
but the area of one whose radius is
thirty miles is 2,s27 square miles.
Thus the car cvner has sphere OF
activity exceeding by 2,375 square
miles that of the horse owner, with all
Its additional opportunities of inter.
course with his fellows.
I'm other words, the possession of a
effective sphere of a m-n's life.
Think of what it means. Every
friend within 5000 square miles can
be invited, any place of worship or
lecture or concert attended and busi-
ness appointment kept, the train met
at any railway station, every post and
telegraph and telephone office within
reach, every physician accessible. any
place reached for golf or tennis or
fishing or shooting, and with it all
fresh air inhaled under exhilarating
conditions. 1t is revolution in daily
life.
THE influence upon the community
will be no less than upon the individ-
ual. Our country districts will revive.
The old coaching roads and coaching
inns will once more be thronged with
travellers. We shall know the land
we live in-its rural interests. its
beauties. its antiquities"

The Real London Foo.

Col. Harry Johnson, who knows the
London fog as he knows bread. said
the other day: The yellow fog is
the worst variety. 1t Is so thick that
you, can not see your hand at arms
length. Policemen find their way
along their beats by following the
curbstone, feeling inch by inch. l
once felt along in the same gay in a
part of London with which had been
fa:niliar for years.-and actually ran
plump into bobby whom ] could
not see. In the ordinary fog l was
acchstomed to guide myself as to do

which I knew perfectly well by sound,

that they gave no sense OF direction.
A genuine London fog would paralyze
all business and traffic in New York.

a silver bowl full of gold and silver
