Thorium has Just been discovered in two
minerals brought from Ceylon to London. one
resembles monazite. though containing larger
proportion OF thOrum than other crystals OF
that kind The second yields about 20 per
cent of thorium and from IL to IL per cent
Of uranium It IS radioactive, like Cornish
nitcbbende. Whether either Of these minerals
also contains radium or carolinium and berze-
Iium IS not vet known. However, it IS evident
that new sources Of the rarer metals are being
revealed from time to time. so that their prices
should undergo material reduction before many
years.

Methodsts who have been meeting In confer

venture that the mighty influences for good
which this Church has been exerting for gen.

caI funds and their incessant activities Tor the
advancement OF religious progress are worthy
OF admiration, and are strong indictments 10

accomplished wonderful things. and no aoate-

Dr. Maxwelrs statement that the Immigrants
Of to-day learn less readily than their Teuton
predecessors is an interesting fact which tends
to confirm the belief that the immigrants Of to-
day are not the equal mentally and socially OF

Melen Day In Colorado.

Nearly every one has heard OF the
Rocky Ford melon. 1t Is eaten In all
parts of the country, but few know Its
history. That has recently been told
by William E. Curtis in the chicago
Record Herald and Is an Instructive
illustration Of what enterprising mel
can do when they set out to make
market for their product Rocky Ford
ia in southeastern Colorado, where the
soil is well adapted to melon raising
Seventeen years ago a farmer there
who had succeeded In raising an e1
cellent crop advertised that he wouio
give away melons to all who called Oh
n certain day. Less than a hundred
called, but they got melons and liked
them. In response to similar adver
tisement 500 called for melons the mex
year and the neighboring farmers DO
gan to see the wisdom Of this KIND OF
advertising. This year 1900 persons
visited Rocky Ford on Sept. 9, or melor
day, and $4,000 melons were giver
away. Six extra trains were run u
carry the people, some Of whom trav
eled 125 miles. Melon day has become
SO popular in that part of Colorado tina
the county fair is held In Rocky Fore
in the week in which 1t occurs, and I'M
money to pay the necessary expenses
of the day is subscribed by the enter
prising men of the town.

A Novel KinRd ON.

London papers report that Sir Charles
A. ]. Brooke, the Englishman who en-
Joys the unique distinction of being the
ruler Of half a million Malays, Chinese
and Dyaks at Sarawak, In the island OF
Borneo, has Just appointed his son to
assist him in his regal duties. The ra-
1ah Of Sarawak has taken this step In
consequence Of his growing infrmities.
He is in his seventy-ffth year.
The story Of how the rulership OF
Sarawak came into the hands of the
Brooke family is romantic one. 1t
was brought about by the adventures
of the uncle Of the present rajah. In
1888 James Brooke, then thirty-fve
years Of age, having retired wounded
from military service in India, char
tered a small yacht and with crew OF
twenty men sailed away to the far east
In search Of adventures. 1t happened
that he reached Sarawak while q big
rebellion was on. Throwing in his LOT
with the reigning sultan, he brought
order out OF chaos and was himself
appointed rajah Of the province he had
rescued from anarchy.
After q successful rule his health
gave way, and forty years ago bis
nephew succeeded him. The regent is
thirty years of age and has resided In
Sarawak on and off from boyhood.

The Informal Danish King.

The people of Copenhagen, writes
correspondent of the London Chroni-
Gle, betray no surprise when they see
their venerable monarch approaching,
and they treat his appearance in the
streets as one of the ordinary daily in
cidents.
King Christian takes his walks
abroad quite informally and without
ceremony. A year or two ago l was
walking in Copenhagen with an Eng
lishman resident in that beautiful and
delightful city, and he called my at
tention to a stately white haired gen.
tleman with a kindly face who came
toward US leaning on a stout cane. AS
we drew level with him he stopped
and extended his hand to another pc
destrian who had saluted him respect
fully and unaffectedly exchanged greet
ings.
Then he strobe on, and but for the
lifting Of hats and the genial acknowl-
edgment Of salutations there was NO
sign that a sovereign was making a
progress in his capital.

Criminal Education Society.

The academy of crime Of which Dick
ems inimitable Fagin was the head
professor has lost its prestige since de-
tails of similar institution in Italy
have come to light. This organization,
called the "Malavita," was situated at
Foggia and aimed at committing all
sorts of crime from highway robbery
to kidnapping. There were two schools,
one to teach the use Of the knife and
the other for pickpockets. A few francs
were charged for admission, and the
pupils graduated according to the pro-
fciency they att0ined. If any mem
Der was arrested the other members
volunteered to give perjured testimony
in bis behalf, while a few more took
charge of the witnesses for the prose
cution, whom they scared by. threats
into refusing to testify.

TIE CALIFORNIA COAST.
IL. Goodness Prodsced by n Current
From the Antarctic Ocean.

Goodness REOQHcco ny
From the Antarctic Ocean.
A great scientific mystery Of the Pa
cif1c ocean has just been solved, at
least theoretically. The experimental
yerifcation will come later, or perhaps
the new theory will be accepted or re-
iected without other test than that OF
a thorough discussion Of the facts on
which it rests.
The mystery in question relates to
the origin Of the immense current OF
cool water which sweeps southwark
along our Pacific coast from Alaska TO
southern California, the andthesis In
relative temperature and In direction
to the gulf stream Of the Atlantic
coast. but mightier than the latter In
volume and modifying the land ell
mates all along its course to a greater
extent possibly than any other known
ocean current. In short, this current ls
one of the greatest agents employed py
nature in producing the famous Gil
mate of the Pacific coast. The magnln-
cent forests OF Washington and Ore
gon and the rich orchards and vine
wards of California owe their existence
largely to the influence Of this vast
river in the sea, which flows swiftly
by the shore, tempering with Its cool
ness the arid heats Of summer, rolling
In vast nantes of fog which distribute
| moisture like the gentlest rain and
mitigating the severity of the winter
months with its equalizing influence
because. while the average tempera-
ture of the water is much below that
of the adjoining land in the summer
it is considerably above 1t in winter.
Nor is this all. Turning westward
after skirting the shores OF Callrornla'
the great current spreads out over the
center of the Pacific, touching the ha.
waiian Islands, where again Its genial
influence is benefcently felt, with the
result that those islands enjoy more
uniformly agreeable and salubrious ell
mate than any other land lying IN
similar latitude.
Now. in a general way, ana wltnou
much critical examination, geographer'
and oceanographers have hitherto as
sumed that this Pacific current was al
offshoot Of or complement to thu
uorthward flowing gulf stream OF ia
pan, the kuro siwo. This Rev. ). L
Bishop. widely known for his research
es ON similar subjects. disputes, an'
he sets forth the very interesting anC
surprising proposition that the grea
current begins near the south pole
from which it follows that all the "a
yored regions mentioned above ow'

Eats With Gold Chopsticls.

So far as personal appearance goes
the Chinese empress is a picture or
vigor, with piercing black eyes, hair
dyed jet black and pretty little hands,
whose nails, several inches long, are
protected by golden shields like elon-
gated thimbles. Isl An is very vain Of
these hands, which, according to Chi
nese notions, are extremely beautiful,
and she is equally proud of her long
hair, which she parts in front and
brushes over her ears MantchOo fash
ion. At the back it is held by long
jade pin, like a paper cutter, tasseled
in crimson and decorated with artii-
cial flowers and golden butterflies. At
dinner she eats with gold chopsticks,
talks much and smokes a little. For
her age she is remarkably well pre-
served, with nothing coarse IN her
countenance and nothing to indicate
the low origin alleged by her enemies.
She is fond Of music and will appre-
ciate q musical box when she cannot
have band. ...---
