BUY a SMOKING MOUNTAIN
American Syndicate Has Recently
Purchased ~Popooatapetl - To
Build Road to Summit.

What is perhaps Dame Ma
lures biggest laboratory has been
purchased by a syndicate of Amer
leans. 1t is located in the crater
of the historic smoking mountain
of Mexico, the Popocatapetl of the
Aztecs. The transaction, whether
regarded as a real estate transfer
or an Industrial deal, is interest
ing by reason of its novelty.
POpocatapetl has been on the
whole rather a benefccnt volcano
than otherwise. Instead of pour
ing out lava and ashes like Vesu-
yius it has furnished for a cen
fury or so a practically ineXhaust
IDLE supply of sulphur. The world
has long been aware of this fact
and the sulphur mine has been
worked by native labor, though on
a necessarily small scale, since
heretofore it has been well-nigh
inaccessible. The mountain is
over 1000 feet high and for -,
600 feet is covered with a dense
growth of forest. The crater itself
is three miles in circumference
and 1000 feet deep.
These natural obstacles in the
way of extracting and marketing
the vast sulphur deposits in the
crater are to be overcome by con
structing a railway from the vii
lage at the base of the summit.
ThemOuntain was purchased some
years ago by a syndicate of
wealthy Mexicans, who, however,
failed to develop it, and have now
sold out to the American capital
lists. The undertaking will be 4
large one, but by applying mod
ern methods the output of sulphur
can be made enormous, while the
timber which clothes the noun
tain sides has large commercial
value. Certainly it will establish
a new and unique industry in Mex
leo, though thousands of the old
Aztecs will doubtless turn in their
graves upon realizing such a
PROCLAMATION.

PoPULAcE CROWD SUBURBS
Tendency to Remove from City Limits
Gains Strength-Desire for
Pure Air and Water.

OF the fifty-One and a half mil.
lion people living in the north and
west and the far west, twenty
four and a half millions, or almost
80 per cent, are jewellers in cities
and towns; and in the almost pure
ly agricultural south the urban
tendency grows steadily stronger,
says the Saturday Evening Post.
These facts point the vast impOr
lance of municipal problems to
the American people. Most of
these problems are, perhaps unfor
tunately, involved in political
partisanship; but there are two
and these of the very first rank
that are so clear that no partisan,
however bigOted, can befuddle
them; pure air and pure water.
The rural districts have by no
means solved them-bad water
and badly ventilated bed and sit.
ting-rOOms are not unknown
among farmers. But nature helps
there; she is excluded from the
city and town. The urban dwell
ers, if they are intelligently for
their own health and for the
health of the children, will fight
for air that is not merely breath.
able, but health-giving, for water
that is not merely slightly and free
from odors and germs but is a
strong wine of health. 1t would
not be easy to degenerate a race
that had pouring through its veins
the spirits that pure air and pure
water put into a man.

KOREA GOLD MINING GROWS

Korea possesses gold mines
whose output has increased from

1902. 1t has also mines of iron,
silver, copper, coal, etc. The
greater part of the gold is export

be said to be exploited. AS a mat
ter Of fact, iron used in japanese

Of medium quantity is equally
abundant, but it is hardly exploit
ed. Copper is extracted in several
districts. During the last two
years 564,433 pounds, valued at
S1,044, were mined.

BAR FREEDOM oE THOUGHT
Incaleulable Restrictions Are Put
Upon Belief Of Russians-Dis-
senters Punished.

Freedom of speech is at a con.
siderable discount in other coun
tries as well, but in Russia there
are also incalculable and unsus.
pected restrictions upon freedom
of thought, SAYS a Berlin CORE
spOndent of the London Times. In
the sphere of religious belief, for
example, secession from the or
thOdox church to German sects is
punishable with exile to Siberia
and loss of civil rights, while the
adoption even of creeds which are
not prohibited in Russia is only
possible with the sanction of the
minister of the interior.
In any case for a person to eds
sent" from the established Greek
faith is to incur the loss of all civil
rights, including the jus paren-
tbs, while a number of administra-
tive restraints are superimposed
in addition. Moreover the eccle.
siastical authorities possess pow
ers of their own which are indie
pendent of the state and of the pO-
lice. The consistory courts are
able to condemn even suspected
"dissentists" to lifelong imprison-
ment in a prison or in a monastery
or to exile them to Siberia.
In the matter of political and
religious freedom the Jews are, of
course, at a great disadvantage.
They are not allowed to live near
the frontier, nor in particular
towns, nor in specified quarters of
certain towns, nor are they per-
mitted to engage in certain
trades.
With regard to the freedom"
of the press, the minister of the in.
terror may at any time prohibit
any journal from accepting adver-
tisements or from being offered
publicly for sale or from discuss
ing certain topics. The minister
of the interior, the minister of ed
ucatiOn, the minister of justice
and the prOcurator of the holy
synod can at all times suppress
any newspaper. In addition to
the political censor there is also
an ecclesiastical censor, a censor
for military affairs and a special
censorship for public libraries.
The right of publicmeetings lies
absolutely and entirely at the dis
erection of the police, and strikes
are in all circumstances for
hidden. Elementary education in
Russia is at a deplorable level,
and yet whatsoever teaches his
children or causes them to be
taught reading or writing without
official permission is liable tn
heavy penalties because the au.
thOrities are afraid that the
knowledge thus acquired may be
put to an unlawful use.

HOW ENERGY is WASTED.
Worry and Fretting After Business
Hours That Causes Needless
Dissipation of vitality.

A great many people dissipate
more energy between the time
when they leave their work at
night and when they return to it
in the morning than they expend
all day in their yocations, though
they would be shocked and offend
ed if anyone we're to tell them so.
They think, writes OrisOn SWEET
Marden, in Success, that physical
dissipation is the only method of
energy-sapping. But men and
women of exemplary moral hab-
its dissipate their vitality in a
hundred ways. They indulge in
wrong thinking; they worry; they
fret; they fear this, that and the
other imaginary thing; and they
carry their business home with
them, and work as hard after bust
ness hours as during them.
