COULD NOT BE LOCATED.

Efforts made yesterday to locate the
Finnish girl who came all the way from
Helsingfors to Astoria proved futile.
and II she has reached this city the
fact is not known to some of the prom
inent Finnish residents. The girl ar
rived in Portland on an o. R. & N.
train from New York, and, being una
hle to speak the English language, was
in a sorry plight. Persons approached
her and tried to make her understand
several languages, but she could only
shake her head and sob. Apparently
she was dumb. The Portland Journal
stated that she was to be placed on the
night boat and sent on to Astoria, her
evident destination, but she has not ar
rived here, as far as could be learned
yesterday.

MOUNTAINS ON VENUS.

A German Astronomer Claims to
Have Discovered Them.
We seem to be getting on familiar
terms with neighboring worlds. With
Mars and its intricate system of en-.
nails. IL not Its actual inhabitants,
thanks to the delicate investigations Of
late years, everybody is pretty well ac-
quainted. Now Herr Arendt, who is a
German. and, therefore, not triher,
announces the dir = of mountains
on Venus. To hitherto the
planet has seer sed In an i'm
penetrable en- cloud, which,
when near !, Is the cause Of
its astonlshiT illiancy; but Herr
Arendt, who had the instruments
of the uran observatory at Berlin
to work Wits. considers that lie has
detected markings on Venus which in
dictate the presence of great eIeya-
lions, seen from time to time through
the clouds surrounding 1t.
Novel as the suggestion is, 1t Is but
revival of an old idea. Long ago
Schroter fancled he saw evidence of
mountains on Venus in the raggedncss
Of the terminator-that is. the line
where light and shade meet, such us
the inner line of the crescent moon.
He went SO far as TO measure them,
and announced that they were twen-
ty-fve miles high. But then no one
had believed him. Markings have been
noticed on the bright planet from very
early times, from which 1t was con-
cluded that 1t rotated in about TWEEN.

ders how the American women can be
content to be the wives Of mere dollar
sharks" "What kind of home is It,"
asks the paper, where the man is ut
the daily grind by 8 n. m. and hardly
sees his home in his haste to get dol
lars?" How does the American man."
1t asks further, accumulate money as
fast as his wife spends itP' These
questions must make any American
smile, particularly the last one. No
doubt, Modern Society would be pleas
ed to be able to tell its readers how to
make money as fast as the American
does. But it would be of no advantage
to them to know the recipe. The eili-
cacy is not in that, but in the spirit and
the conditions. As matter of fact,
and Notwithstanding the European be-
lief to the contrary, the man in this
country strives no harder to make
money than do the men of Europe. The
average European works lifetime, as
hard and as effectively as he knows
how, for competence. We put more
intelligence and enthusiasm into the
strife than they do and our industrial
conditions and resources are more flu
vorable than theirs, but the longing for
money is no stronger here than else
where. 1t Is doubtful if 1t is as strong.
All things are planned and executed
on a large scale III this country
withdrawing among the rest. lEu-
ropeans may imagine we live an in
tense life narrowed down to the one
aim Of getting rich, but they imagine
wrongly. We take our business affairs
no more seriously than they do their
own. Ours are larger and broader
than theirs, but SO are our men larger
and bruader than their men. We car
ry the big load quite MS lightly and
good deal more joyfully than they do
the light one. And American women
do not suffer neglect. Money opens the
way to a broader social life for the
average American woman than is even
dreamed of by the average woman of
Europe. The American wife. even
among the less well-to-do classes, has
n home of her own to look after and
to take pride in. She does not drudge
and dree her life AWAY in small shop
or in the field, as unhumbered thou
sands Of her European sisters do. She
has time and means for us broad an
outlook as that of her husband. She
is not merely his wife, but his equal
and his comrade,
