FIND HIDDEN WEALTH.
People Discover Treasure at Uuex-
pected Places and Times.

People Discover Treasure at Uuex-
pected Places and Times.
Hidden treasure has an irresistible
slightest hint from seer or fortune
teller some one is sure to dig where the
hidden treasure is supposed to be, and
disappointment does not discourage
another attempt when another Tip"
is received. Very few have ever come
upon hidden treasure. and the few
have found it unexpectedly.
Take, for instance, that romantic I'M
earthing. of 100000 coins in the bed of
the River Dove, in Staffordshire,
seventy-two years ago. Some work
men were engaged in removing a mud
bank which had formed in the center
of the river, when one of them was
amazed to find on raising his spade
that it glistened with silver coins.
Attracted by the digger's exclama-
tons of astonishment and delight his
fellow workmen hurried up, and in a
moment half dozen men were scamb-
ling and fighting for the treasure,
feverishly filling their pockets, their
hats and beer cans with silver coins,
which were worth their weight in gold,
for they were of the time of the first
two Edwards. and had lain in the river
for 500 years. That the bulk of the
treasure trove was ultimately claimed
by the Duchy of Lancaster matters
little, for its finders had already APP
propriated scores of thousands of
precious disks.
Only two years later a few village
boys were playing at marbles on Sun
day afternoon in a field near Beaworth,
in Hampshire, when one of them
caught sight of piece of lead pro-
jecting from cart rut in a rough road
that crossed the pasture. Tugging at
the strip Of metal he disclosed q hole,
and through the exposed opening he
saw a pile of glittering coins, bright
as If fresh from the mint To fill his
pockets and those of his playmates
was the work of few moments, and

TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
In addition to the interruption Of a
holiday trade and transportation have
again suffered because of severe
weather, and much outdoor work was
forced to await more favorable condi-
tions. Development of spring trade is
naturally slow, but this may be fully
made up as the season advances. Bus
mess proceeds on conservative ba-
sis that promises immunity from the
excess that precipitated the recent set
back Manufacturing plants are grad
ually restoring idle machinery, and
there is more disposition to anticipate
future requirements. Staple commod-
tiles are still inflated by war and man
ipulations, making it extremely diff
fcult to ascertain the actual legiti-
mate situation.

Grow Young as You Grow Old.

Next to air and food in the human
economy comes exercise. We may
have plenty of fresh air, and a proper
allowance of the right kind of food,
and yet, without helpful daily exer-
else these will not avail to keep the
body in good condition. In answer to
the question, "Why do we grow old?"
a French writer gives these three rea-
sons: 1--WE do not get enough phys
ical exercise in the open air. we are
poisoned by microbes. which the pha-
gocytes have not succeeded in de-
stroying. and we are depressed by fear
of DEATH Of the three reasons it
will be noted that he gives the place
of first importance to lack of exercise.
There is nothing else which can take
the place of physical activity as q
preserver of youth and energy. "Grow
young as you grow older by cultivat-
ing a moderate love of good, healthful,
honest sport" is sound advice. Walk
ing, running, jumping, rowing, play
ing golf, tennis or croquet, or any other
mild form of exercise in the open air
keeps the muscles supple and pre-
vents the joints from stiffcning, fills
the lungs with life-giving oxygen and
keeps the blood from becoming slug
gish or the liver torpid. In short, it
is exercise that keeps the body in
tune and up to concert pitch" just as
exercise keeps the voice or musical
instrument in perfect tone.-Success.

Lieutenant-C Colonel Bruce, who has
been studying the strange sleeping

inhabitants of Uganda, ascribes the
spread of the infection to a species of
the famous tsetse fly, whose attacks
are fatal to horses and cattle in Africa.
These flies are found to be infected
with the parasite that causes the sleep

the cerebro-spinal fluid, and the we'll

flies are confined correspond absolute
Where this species of tsetse fly is not

A second poisoning of trees late in
the season, after the usual forming of
buds for the next year, may result
from some injury, such as removal
of the leaves, if the inference of M.
e. Apert is correct In October, 1000,
this observer saw q white lilac in full
bloom, the bush having small green
leaves and beautiful clusters of white
flowers, while some hundreds of feet
away was another bush of the usual
autumnal appearance. Investigation
showed that worms had eaten off the
leaves of the first bush several months
before A return of the worms in July,
1908, was followed by a partial re-
production of the phenomenon, and NJ.
Apert believes that a second Towering
of a fire-injured trees, reported by M.
Jolly as a result of the action of heat,
was really due to destruction of the
leaves. 1t is proposed to test the theory
by removing the leaves of apple trees,
pear trees, ETC., in July or August.
1t is an old question, "Are the 20
odd chemical elements really elemen-
tary, or are they compounded of some
thing still more elementary" In the
light Of the recent discoveries about
radium Prof. f. w. Clarke recurs to
a theory, advocated by him many
years ago, that as the planets were
evolved out of the original nebula
which gave birth to the solar system,
the chemical elements themselves were
also evolved out of something far less
complex than themselves. The fact
that existing nebulae are very simple
in composition, while stars in various
stages of evolution exhibit more and
more complexity, until, in solidified
bodies, like the earth, great number
OF chemical elements with a myriad
of compounds are found, is regarded as
strongly supporting this theory. The
phenomena of radium lead to the adj
ditional suggestion that as i'll the de-
velopment of the heavenly bodies we
seem to see the growth of the elements,
so in radio-activity we witness their
decay.

so little did the youngsters appreciate
the value of their discovery that on
their way home they amused them
selves by fiinging the coins into Shc
village pond.
Ultimately nearly seven thousand
coins were recovered from this buried
treasure chest, and they proved to be
of the reigns of William 1. and William
II. and in a wonderful state of preser-
walton.
A similar discovery was made near
Wetherby, in Yorkshire, when heavy
cart, passing over n country road, STUCK
fast in rut, and ON being released
disclosed q number of silver coins,
which had escaped from the burst lid
of a chest hidden under the roadway.
1t was assumed that the chest of coins
had been buried there in the perilous
days of the civil war, and that the
gradual sinking of the road and the
weight of the passing cart had at last
brought it again to the light OF day.
In the year 1916 a most valuable
deposit of treasure was revealed in the
strangest fashion at Cuerdale, near
Preston, in Lancashire. Some laborers
were digging near the banks of the
River Ribble when the pickaXe OF one
of them struck something harder than
earth and more yielding than rock.
On removing his pick he found trans
fixed at the end of it a large ingot of
silver. Plying his tool with renewed
vigor he soon discovered wealth, con-
sisting of scores of silver ingots weigh
ing in all over 1000 ounces.
Similar fortune befell a couple OF
laborers who were digging in a ditch
near GLASTONBURY, in Somersetshire,
when they unearthed an ancient chest
full of coins of the days of the Stuarts.
They took samples of the coins to
neighboring antiquary of wealth, who
not only paid the men q large sum for
their treasure, but purchased a score
or more acres of land adjacent to the
lucky ditch. And here the irony of
fortune is we'll illustrated, for al
though the antiquary spent thousands
of pounds in buying and excavating
his land, not single coin was dis
covered beyond those which a stroke
of the spade had revealed.
This is the kind Of trick fortune
loves to play on designing men. Not
very many years ago, when the thatch-
ed roof of an ancient cottage near
Ripon was removed a rich nest of
5-guinea gold pieces was discovered
hidden away under it. When the news
of this treasure trove came to the ears
of neighboring land owner he was so
fired by the lust of gold that he forth
with purchased a dozen similar cot
tages in the district and had them all
pulled down, but not a solitary coin
was found in exchange for the $4,000
the experiment cost him.

'Possums Show Cunning.

John 'Toussaint of Cahokia declares
he is the first man to discover how
oppossums ravage hen roosts, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. He states
that for years the farmers Of this vicin-
ity have lost their chickens and could
not account for it. Mr.. Toussaint says
that he was sitting at his window
early in the morning, when he noticed
a 'possum steal along the fence and
enter his poultry house. He believed
the animal would soon return and Sc
cured his shotgun. The animal did
return in a second or SO, and as 1t
came in sight Toussaint fired He
killed the 'possum and went to secure
it, finding one of his fine chickens
firmly grasped in the 'possum's tail.
Mr.. Toussaint says that the animal
visits the henroost regularly, and that
no chicken ever screeches, because its
breath is cut off by the pressure of the
animals tail. When the tail is safely
stretched around the neck of the chick
en- the 'possum starts Off, dragging the
fowl after him.
