ADMIRAL TAYLOR. visit to his son,
who is the head of the copper smelling
works at Copper Cliff, when he was
stricken with peritonitis. He was re-
moved to the hospital at Copper Cliff,
where, Notwithstanding the attend
ance of specialist from Montreal. he
died
Henry Clay Taylor was born in
Washington, d. c., In 1S45. His faith
er, well-known publisher, was an in
innate friend Of Henry Clay and the
son was named In honor of the Ken
lucky statesman His mother was a
granddaughter of Col. Charles Simms,
friend OF Gen. Washington.
Appointed to the Naval Academy in
1860, the rise of young Taylor through
the various grades of the service was
rapid. He was made ensign three
years later, and assigned TO the steam
sloop Shenandoah, which took part ln
the bombardment of Fort Fisher. He
was appointed master in 1865 and in
1868 Il lieutenant commander. Ten
years OF his life were devoted to pur-
suits which have more to do with the
bureau work of the department than
with active service
His most conspicuous service was
done In the Spanish-A war.
Capt. Taylor was assigned in 1897 to
the battleship Indiana. He escorted
the forces OF Maj. Gen. Shafter TO San
tiago. directing fifteen naval vessels
and convoy of thirty-tive transports
with such skin that the last vessel
came in sight within an hour after the
appearance OF the Indiana On the
night before the naval battle of San
tiago the Indiana was assigned to the
duty of keeping watch on the harbor.
The Indiana did splendid service in
this battle. and was in turn engaged
by the Spanish cruisers as they came
out. She inflicted heavy damage on
the Nizcaya and the Colon.

MANY USES FOR PAPER.
Japanese Excel in Manufacture of Thia
Product,


Product.
From the bark of trees and shrubs
the Japanese make scores of papers,
which are far ahead of ours, says the
National Geographic Magazine. The
walls Of the japanese houses are
wooden frames covered with thin
paper, which keeps out the wind, but
let's In the light, and when one com-
pares these paper-walled "doll houses"
with the gloomy bamboo cabins of the
inhabitants of the island of Java or
the smali-windowed huts of our fore
fathers one realizes that, without glass
and in a rainy climate, these ingenious
people have solved IN remarkable
way the problem OF lighting their
dwellings and, at least In measure.
OF keeping out the cold.
Their oiled papers are astonishingly
cheap and durable. AS a cover for his
load of tea when a rainstorm oyertakes
him the Japanese farmer spreads over
1t tough, pliable cover OF oiled paper,
which is almost as impervious as tar
paulin and as light as gossamer He
has doubtless carried this cover for
years, neatly packed away somewhere
about his cart. The "riklsha" coolies
In the large cities wear mantles of this
oiled paper, which cost less than Is
cents and last for a year or more with
constant use.
An oiled tissue paper. which is as
tough rs writing paper, can be had at
the stationers' FOR wrapping up dell
cate articles. Grain and meal sacks
are almost always made of bark paper
in Japan, for it is not easily penetrated
by weevils and other Insects But
perhaps the most remarkable OF all the
papers which find a common use In
the japanese household are the Gather
papers of which the tobacco pouches
and pipe cases are made. They are
almost as tough as French kid, so
translucent that one can nearly see
through them. and as pllable and soft
as calfskin. The material of which
they are made is as thick as cardboard,
but as flexible as kid.

band:
We'll. how did you do to-day? Did
you have a good cleanup"
Lloyd's father sighed and said: NO,
little woman; | am sorry to say that

well, Lloyd, how did your cleanup

Lloyd brought out the gold pan and
the pretty rocks, and handed them TO
of the coarse gold dust and nuggets In
the pan, and the pieces of rich gold
quartz, you should have heard them

Where did you find that?' they ex-

And without waiting for supper they
started for the place. Lloyd could hard

When they got to his rocker Lloyd

struck the rock that cropped up in the
bottom of the gulch. He picked up a
fragment that was broken Off and look

with gold. He handed 1t to his part
ners, and caught Lloyd up, tossed him
in the air, and said:
"Our fortune Is madel You've found
the ledge from which all the placer
gold on the creek has come"
The men broke Off several pieces OF
quartz and then covered up the out
cropping ledge.
1t was pretty late before anyone
went TO sleep In camp that night. Next
day one of the men drove over 10 the

life of mining camp was too rough
