EARTH GETS BACK GOLD.
Treasures Hidden Away in Buried
Receptacles ana cities of
a, Ancient Times, -


Gold reverts To the earth in many
ways. Treasure troves are being I'M
earthed constantly, especially In foreign
countries and in romantic countries
such AS Mexico, the Indies and South
America. where passions and riches run
like the tides, high and low. Isn't II
natural that lovelorn Mexican should
bury his treasure rather than think his
rival nigh, get Il? Many treasures have
been buried In the desert, and a lore
rider at dead of night might be seen
In the old days digging up the gold he
needed from time to time. The secret
was his and his alone. II he should
chance to meet death suddenly the Sc
cret died with him. The excavations
that are being made In Greece and Egypt
show gold-trimmed ornaments, jewelry
and precious stones that have lain for
centuries beneath cities whose struggle
for gold has contrasted strangely with
the calm wealth lying just below them.
These treasure troves which come 10
the surface every year probably repre-
sent but a small part OF that which has
been concealed, and every ship which
founders at sea takes a certain amount
OF gold with II. which may amount 10
anywhere from few pounds TO mil
lions.

MAMMOTH SEA ELEPHANT.
Berlin geological Garden Noun" the
Largest Specimen Ever
Known


A new and interesting attraction at
The Berlin geological garden Is
mounted specimen OF monster sea ele-
plant. 1t can claim the DISTINCTION OK
being the largest sea elephant that
has ever been killed.
II was found some Is months ago
by whalers on the coast OF the Falk-
land islands. They promptly sur
rounded the monster and subsequent
ly slaughtered it--no easy tasN-and
tho hide. with the raw skeleton was
purchased at high price by J. F. @.
Umlauff.
Some idea OF the size OF the monster
may be gagged from the fact that from
the tip of its tusk II has total meas
urement of nearly 81 feet. Such an
animal, when alive, would weigh 10000
pounds. or nearly four and one-half
tons. The circumference OF the body
at its widest part is some 1S feet The
skull alone measures two feet thres
inches long and one foot two inches
high
The sea elephant, or seal elephant.
Is In many ways an interesting crea-
ture. So far o. size goes, he can give
points to the walrus. but he Is ct/ain-
ly not so ferocious looking. Except
for the curious nose whence his Greek
name), he is Just big black seal fair
| ly agile in the sea and clumsy ashore,
like all his kind. He Is about the bulk
OF hippopotamus. although more
hirsute and with less extensive open
ing OF the Jaws. He holds among
seals the unique position OF being com
mon to both hemispheres. although
from the ardor with which he has been
hunted, very few specimens now exist
north of the equator
Just now. however, the sea elephant
is enjoying a respite and is conse-
quently increasing in numbers rapidly
particularly in the southern seas. lie
forms practically the on.y population
OF many an otherwise lonely series OF
barren rocks in the Antarctic ocean.
His food consists chiefly, II not en-.
tirely. of cuttlefish. Formerly the ami

Lensthen Hours Of Pupils in the New
York Schools.
The December grand jury of Kings
county, New York state, after the ex-
animation of several members of the
board of education and the principals
of the Brooklyn high schools, handed in
a presentment to County Judge Aspin-
wall condemning certain school meth
DDS. The presentment demands that
home study by the pupils cease and
that instead the daily hours at school
be increased by one hour each day and
the curriculum be changed so that a
large part of this additional hour be
devoted to supervised study. The
grand jury finds that the curriculum
for 16 year old pupils is much harder
than it was a few years ago and that
students are being forced far beyond
their capacity to assimilate knowledge.
Such a system, it declares, can result
only in weakened memories and physi-
cal debility.

REMARKABLE OPERATION,
Blind Man Is Made to See With the
Eye Of Another,

A Vienna dispatch to the New York
Sun says that at a meeting of the
Medical society there, DR.. Zirm showed
a man on whom he successfully per-
formed transportation of the cornea,
The patient had lost the sight of both
eyes. By chance the surgeon had to
take an eye out Of an II year old boy,
which was ruined by steel splinter,
but the cornea of which was intact.
DR.. Zirm then cut Sits in the opa-
que cornea Of the blind mans eyes and
inserted pieces from the boys eye.
The experiment failed with one eye, be-
cause the transplanted cornea also
thickened, but with the other eye it
was so successful that 1t affords the
man normal vision. In this eye the
transplanted cornea retains its trans
parency, although there is slight veil
over the eye.
But the once totally blind man can
read small print and can work. DR..
Zirm attributes numerous previous
failures to the fact that the cornea Of
animals instead of human beings, as
in this instance, was Invariably used.

BROWN DENIES CHILDREN.
Cuts OF, In His viii, Offspring Of
Mrs. Bradley.

Salt Lake City-Had the late Sena-
tor Arthur Brown foreseep his death at
the hands of Mrs. Anna Bradley, he
could not have devised no more ingen-
ious retaliation than the post morten
revenge contained in his will. The
document, which was written August
"a, 1906, four months beore Mr.. Brown
was shot down at the Raleigh hotel in
Washington, has been filed for pro
bate.
II do not devise, or give or bequeath
anything to any of the children of Mrs.
Anna Bradley" is the language Of the
will. II do not think either or any
child born to Mrs. Anna M. Bradley
is or are mine, but whether such child
or children is or not l expressly pro-
vide that neither nor any Of them shall
receive anything of my estate.
II have never married Anna M.
Bradley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such relation
ever existed between us to justify
such inference, direct my executors
to contest any claims of any kind she
may present and direct that she re-
ceive nothing from my estate"
The testator bequeaths all his prop
erty, valued at about $4,000, to his
two children by his first and second
wives, Alice Brown and Max Brown.
Contest Is Probable.
The children so specifically disin-
herited are Arthur, aged 7, and Mark,
aged 8 years. The attorney engaged
by Mrs. Bradley's relatives in Salt
Lake decline to discuss the will at
this time, but there is scarcely a ques.
ton that contest will be instituted
as much for the purpose establishing
their paternity as to secure a none
tary consideration. This is the more
likely as Mrs. Bradley is, or was a
few months ago, in possession Of let.
tiers signed with Browns name in
which the relationship to one or both
of the children Is acknowledged. In
one of these letters. written after the
birth of the first child, appears the fol.
lowing quotation:
"Your blood and mine commingled
yet shall mount the throne of kings
The contents Of the will have caused
sensation in Salt Lake.

CAPT. MAckLIN SHOT BY NEGRO
Blamed On One Of the Discharged
Troop.

Ell Reno, Okla.-Captain Edgar B.
Macklin Of Company G, Twenty-irst
United States infantry, was shot twice
and dangerously wounded by a masked
negro, and the belief is expressed here
that it was one of the members of the
troop discharged by President Roose-
welt for participation in the Browns
vile riots. The shooting occurred at
the officers quarters at Fort Reno.
On December IA, the secretary Of
war, upon recommendation of the gen.
eral staff, ordered the trial by court
martial of Captain Macklin under the
sixty-second article of war for "con-
duct to the prejudice Of good order and
discipline" in failing to exercise due
diligence in preventing the occurrence
of rioting at Brownsville last August.
