Hoot of the French Motor.

One generally thinks Of the French
language as being more musical than
our harsher northern tongue. But the
motor--hoot in French Is a far NOR.
ear-splitting affair than it is in Eng.
lish. To begin with, 1t is more often
a siren than boot, and all over
France one now hears the long. ex.
cruciating walls that are generally as
ISOLATED with ships-or with souls in
torment. And when. as In some in
stances, railway waistle is substi-
tuted. and the automobile rushes
shrieking over the countryside like an
express train, the English tourist dis
covers very emphatically that he does
not like the moto~-horn with French
accent.

Pain
Wears Out the Nerves.

Do you realize that pain is
weakening, and exhausts your
vitality? Don't you remember
how completely worn out you
felt after that last attack of
headache, neuralgia, backachc,
periodical or other spell of suf-
fering? Nearly every case of
inflammation, apoplexy, paral-
ysis, epilepsy and insanity is
directly due to the weakening
influence of pain upon the
brain nerves? For this reason
every one who suffers from
pain of any kind should not
fail to get relief as quickly as
possible.
You can do this by taking

F that if one came back to him without being frozen he would fix him so that he could not run away again. They sent an officer and two dogs to look over the way I was supposed to have gone, and the officer reported that the ice was solid and that it would be easy to follow me to the mainland. Then another officer, some natives and three boat steerers-'pole pushers,' es we call them-were put on the trail. They followed it for a few miles, and then put back, telling the captain that the ice was impossible and full of Assures. The ice was full of gaps, chasms six or eight feet wide which I had to risk my neck in jumping. I started south, hoping to make the Yukon.
 ''rhe country I passed through was terrifying, and nothing can describe the feeling of loneliness which comes over one up there within the Arctic circle, with no living being for miles and miles around and with nothing but bogs under foot. These bOgs were the worst things I had to contend with. They are called niggerheads,

Some days only made five miles, and the most I ever travelled | was 15. Of course, it was always light as the sun never went below the hori- zon. I had to sleep on the ground, for I had no tent. The mosquitoes. too, | were terrible-in a way people who have never been in that latitude can not understand.
 1 For three days I went south as nearly as I could judge by the course of the streams. These streams were everywhere, varying from. little sloughs to rivers could hardly ford. [ The whole region is Q network of these little water courses, and sometimes had to wade in them to avoid the ilig- gerheads. At times I could only stag ger to the bank and drop down with exhaustion and cold. There was no game of any sort, except an occasional duck, and as I had only a rifle ducks were hard to get. But l managed to get few, and after the things l had brought in my pack were gone duck was all I had to east during the whole journey. On the fourth day after de, serting the ship I struck the foothills and was able to climb to a peak and take a look at the country ahead oi me. The sight completely discouraged me. I had hoped for better going be- yond but there was nothing but the same desolation of bogs and hills. Or the eighth day I struck out for the nearest coast, hoping to find the cabir

THE B4TTEESHIP,

Japan's sea fights have, of course, been intensely interesting to the naval officers in Washington, and the talk there is that the battleship is still su- prene among the lists of war craft The torpedo boat has advanced greatly in favor, however, because of the effective work done by these little wasps for Ad- miral Togo. It is believed that later re- ports will show that torpedo boats sunk one or more of the Russian battleships, and if this should turn out to be the case it will be the first instance of actual damage in war done by these boats. The battleship will continue to be the only vessel that can go to sea, remain there for an indefinite time and meet anything that floats. The useful ness of the torpedo boat is limited to dashing excursions from sheltered coasts, although the Japanese opened the eyes of the naval world by taking their torpedo flotilla across the sea to Port Arthur, where they were worked in the open with considerable success. But expeditions of this kind will never be attempted unless control of the sea is assured, and colliers are at hand to replenish the bunkers of the little crafts. While the torpedo boat will doubtless have a big boom in popular favor, the battleship will remain the chief bulwark of naval defense.
 We have some good battieships and jean have more. The Japanese had some good ones and now they have more.

Of miner that was said to be in that vicinity. After much fioundering among the nigserheads managed to ind it, but it was empty, and though I waited there two days the miner did not come back
 The cabin was nothing but a sod house and the door was so low that had to crawl on my hands and knees to get in. I remember that I was afraid to enter not knowing what I should find. So loaded my rifle and pushed it ahead of me. If there vas going to be fight with man or beast I meant to be ready to sell my life dearly. Happily there was some pro- visions, and 1 took about five pounds of rice and some coffee and started on, going down the coast. had given up all hope of being able to get across the country to Dawson and was looking forward to meeting the miner, but saw no one not even an Indian. A little further on I struck stream impossible to cross. It was filled with old ice, completely rotten and full of breaks, but which the current had not been able to wash out. It was salt water ice, too. I wandered about for a while, half crazy with fatigue and eX- posture and not knowing which way to turn.
 i Then, as luck would have it, I stumbled upon native cache, filled with tents, skins. ammunition, a shot gun and two whaleboats. That find was the most cheerful thing which ever happened to me. If had only 1 had the shotgun from the first I might have been nervy enough to keep

SECRETARY BONIPARrI,.

The appointment by President Roose- welt of Charles J. Bonaparte of Balti- more to be secretary of the navy does not greatly please either the Republi- can organization of Maryland or of the nation. But that won't disturb the President or Mir. Bonaparte. We don't know how much MT. Bonaparte knows about naval affairs. Perhaps a secre- tary of the navy doesn't have to know much about them. MT. Bonaparte was born in Baltimore on June 9, 1851. He is a grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, once King of Westphalia, and brother of Napoleon Bonaparte. President Roosevelt and MT. Bonaparte have been friends and co-workers for many years. Their principal common interest was in the field of civil service reform, of which MT. Bonaparte has been an active exponent. His most recent asso- citation with the President was in con- nection with the prosecution of the pos tai frauds, MT. Bonaparte having been selected as special counsel to assist the government attorneys. Mir Bonaparta
 was graduated from Harvard in 1871, and from the Harvard Law School in 1874. He has practised law in Balti- more ever since. While a Republican 1 in politics, he has displayed a good deal of independence, being one of the leading workers in the Baltimore Re- | form League.
 Mir. Bonaparte has courage and will try to do his duty. So good work may l be expected of him.

I knew it was toe soon for me to return safely to the island, for the Bowhead might still be in the harbor. But 1 was tired out, and the idea of journeying alone among the brooks and the hills and the bogs was so appalling that I would rather have gone anywhere with the Indians than to have been left behind alone on the mainland.

WILL THERE BE 4 GOLD oUEsTIoNs

WILL HERE DE A WOLD v t&@EsAA AAO~''
 The silver question is no longer dis turbing. but there may be gold ques- tion by and by. The latest reports of the gold output in the Rand warrant the expectation that the aggregate for the current calendar year will exceed hundred million dollars, as compared with about eighty millions in 1904 The April yield is put at sS.61O,OOO, the lar gest for any month since September, 1899. just before the beginning of the Boer war. Indeed, it is not very far below the maximum monthly output, which was that for August, 1S99-s9.- 652, 900. The rehabilitation of the Transvaal industries since the war has not been quite as rapid as was expect ed, but it is now assured. By the end of the present year the Rand will have become once more the greatest gold proucing field in the world. Meanwhile there is every prospect of considerable increase in the gold product of both the United States and Australia-sufficient perhaps. to carry the worlds product for 1905 above four hundred millions.
 There was once upon a time ga crime against silver" and there may ulti- mately have to be crime against gold.
