ARTIFICIAL CAMPHOR.

It does not necessarily follow that all things that are artificial are necessar- fly inferior to those that are natural. It is with this idea in mind that arti- ficiaI camphor is now being made at Port Chester. N. Y, intended to com pete with the camphor extracted from the camphor trees of FormoSa.
 Chemically the only difference be- tween turpentine and camphor lies in the possession of one item of oxygen which is lacking in the former. By a single chemical process the needed OK ygen is supplied and we have the cam Dhor much cheaper and practically just as good as though it were taken from the camphor trees in the far east.
 Only one-fourth of the camphor male is used in medicine. At least three fourths of the camphor used daily that used in the arts-is just as good for being made artificially, and at any rate it is very difficult to tell the nat ural from the artifcial-Bostoa Globe.

TO A CUB REPORTER.

Little white cub at the office door, Full of the thrill of your first cigar; Brand new from college, with life all I'd give my pay to be where you are. Doubtless you feel that your road Is
 hard,
 And your copy is read in ruthless
 way; Doubtless your hours are long to gul-d And the powers are slow to raise your
 pay. Doubtless you've heard from the cynics
 old
 That the god of the News is devil
 born; But, little white cub, be brave, be bold, And you shall drink of the plenty
 horn. For the News god sits on a higher
 throne
 Than ever a worldly king today And the pride of power is all your own. For the world shall know of the word
 you say. What wouldn't I give for my cubhood
 grind,
 For the wild young joy of the mill
 once morei When never a shadow lurked behind And only the thrill of hope before. Little white cub, the world is yours; Take it and make of it what you will, For the might of the printed page en-

---O----- THE FAMOUS VALLEY INN SOLD.

After being in the Hager family for about two hundred years, the old Val ley inn in German alley, near Morris town, has been sold to Henry Fleming of Fairmount. This inn is a historical structure, the present building being erected in 1774 and finished just before the Declaration of Independence was signed. During the eight years which followed it was the rendezvous alter nately of Imperial and Revolutionary troops. Strange to say, the owner of the inn at that time never was molest- cd by the red coats notwithstanding that his son, Captain John Hager, was in the American army and a frequent visitor at the inn.
 The old man who conducted the inn heard plans and plots on both sides, but never betrayed any of the secrets which he learned. Thus the inn was unmolested by both parties from the beginning to the close of hostilities. If all things are favorable the coming summer, there is prospect that the present day soldiers Of Uncle Sam, as well as the militia, may find refresh ments at the historic tavern. for it is around this vicinity that General Chaf- fee plans to have the mimic war and army maneuvers which have recently been so widely advertised.-New York Press

MINES IN CALIFORNIA.

There are only three California, coun- ties out of the entire array of fifty seven that will not make a showing in the statistics of mineral output for the year 1902. Several of the counties that are discovered to have mineral wealth are not represented by large figures Of actual production. That is, according to expectation. But, considering the area of this state. it's length and width
 there is probably no other country on earth that can be shown to be as uniformly minsralized throughout practically it's entire extent Among the surprises contained in the statistics to be submitted by the State Mining Bureau will be the figures of the value of the total output of petroleum in California for 1902. The production was very large but when the price at the wells ranges frow Is to 25 cents a bar rel for fuel oil it does not, comparative ly speaking. require large figures to show what 1t sold for in total in the market. The total output for two coun- ties far surpasses the value in the market of all the oil produced in the state during the year 1902. While the price of oil has continued to be low, the value of silver, which is of great interest in Pacific coast camps. has continued to rise. The government fol- lowed the market from 40 cents to B cents in its purchases for the Philipp- inc coinage. Then it stopped. Millions of dollars worth of bullion will be re quired by the government before the Philippine Coinage bill provisions are fully carried out. At the present price of silver many silver camps can pro- duce at a profit.-San Francisco Call.

THE EMPEROR FOUNTAIN.

The most remarkable fountain in the
 world is that at Chatsworth, the most beautiful residence in England, as Blenheim is the most imposing, the largest and most astonishing. It was named the Emperor Fountain in honor of a visit paid by the czar of Russia to England about 1850. One the side of a hill behind the palace is a. stone tenn ple, from which at will can be turned on torrents of water which fall down in cascades upon the wide steps made to receive them, and thence into canals.

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT TOWARD
 RAILWAYS IN CHINA.

One of the provisions of the charter of the Chinese Eastern railway, the
 Pacific end of the Siberian railway, is that the railway shall not pass through or near great cities or over graves. This stipulation is practically universal in concessions granted to foreigners for the construction of railways. Newly formed graves, which have at times been found on the surveyed route located with reference to the avoidance of graves-simply show that the Chin csc are not without their scoundrels. who attempt in this manner to extort money from concessionaries. Within very recent times. however. a change in sentiment has been taking place. The great inconvenience and loss re-

THE MOROS.

The chief danger is in our desire and effort to Americanize the Moros with undue rapidity. They are not yet ripe for a life of modern civilization and an attempt to force it's processes upon them can only produce protest, unrest, and discontent. Years of contact with the white man have not made the American Indian a highly civilized be- ing. A few years will not do for the Moros that which decades have not done for our Indians.
 Tact patience and toleration, all in endless measure are the keys to the Moro problem. Centuries ago mankind was warned of the danger of putting new wine into old bottles, and the ad- vice is, good for the United States to- day.-New York Sun.
