Lluch Of Estate Of Sir Francis Drake
May Come to America-Poor
New York Woman
in Luck

OF all the wonderful stories of heirs
in poverty seeking millions of long-de-
layed wealth none is more interesting
than the announcement that Sir
Francis brakes vast estate of $780,
100000 in England is to be divided
after being held up in the court of
chancery for more than 200 years.
And Albert ]. Drake, a courteous,
good-looking young clerk in a New
York hotel in the SOS, who was a
friend of President Arthur and knew
most of the big men of the day, is one
of the claimants to this fortune.
Said Mr.. Drake, in response to ques-
tions: There is no doubt that 1 shall
get share in the Drake estate of
$3.50, 100000, if it is true that the Eng
lish courts have ordered division of
the property among the heirs. Our

SAVES YEARS OF TIME.
Figures That Will Surprise Even the
Inveterate User of the
Telephone.

The intimate association of the tel
ephone with every form of daily liy-
ing is completely, Enthusiastically
American. 1t grows while you watch
it; for every day it absorbs, at the
smallest possible estimate, more than
5000 new telephone instruments. part
of them going to replace instruments
already worn out in service, but a
good proportion going to new SUBJ
scribers, and the further humiliation
of time and space between seventy-odd
millions of people scattered over the
United States. That 1t saves time for
these millions goes, Of course, without
saying, but In the past years the total
amount saved annually by the average
reduction of four seconds per message
affected during that period by the Bell
systems, presents one of the most
startlingly curious examples of time
economy that the world has vet WITT
messed. In single year these four
seconds saved on each telephone cali
count up to grand total of IA .389 ee2 :
600 seconds-in other words. to AK
years OF time-a link in the chain Of
eternity that would carry us back ~
years before the discovery of America.

was to him, and he said the bearded
woman was his wife, and that they

platform, and he told them that was
their last season with the show, when
they had no respect for the general
manager.
Then they all found out who pa was,
and apologized and tried to square
themselves, but pa was hot enough to
boil over, and we went off to see the
animals.
Say, there wasn't single animal
that would have pa around. The
zebras kicked at pa, the lions roared
and sassed him, the hyenas snarled
and howled. the wolves looked ugly,
and the tigers acted as though they
wanted to get him in the cage and tear
out his tenderloin; the elephants want
ed to catch pa and walk on his frame.

some aquatic bird. Two of them are
entire, but one had been broken, and
the escape of its contents appeared to
have corroded a part of the bottom of
the basket. These eggs were honey
combed all over with shallow indenta-
lions, which would lead one to believe
that they had been originally blotched
or spotted over with some coloring
matter, and one might conclude that
the iodine or other matter which coll
ors such eggs had eroded the surface,
only that there were similar indenta-
lions in the rim of the basket, though
fewer in number and less conspicuous
than those of the eggs.
Except these indented marks two of
the eggs seemed perfectly entire, and
the third one was also entire in the
upper part, the fracture being below.
Eggs and basket were now completely
soldered into one mass, so that they
couldn't be separated, and the whole
like what is usually found in chalk,
was converted, not into black flint,
but into gray flint, or ebert. This was
rendered quite plain by small piece,

Of cutters employed, one being a hell

On the lower part of the knife the teeth
are flared alternately, which makes two
rows of teeth, permitting the knife to

evening we went back and stood

animals came off their perch, and
treated pa like they used to. and he

however, in his day that it was meas
ured in chestfuls. 1t dated from his
early raids on the Spanish treasure
fleets and caravans. On several occa-
sions he secured so much booty that
his ships could not carry all the gold
and precious stones. He scattered
enough treasures among his roister-
ing friends to run a thousand coun-
try printing offices and an opera COM
pany.
By 1872 Drake had discovered the
secret sources of the vast wealth pour
ing into Spain by shiploads. It came
from the treasure caves of Peru and
other mining countries in South Amer
lea. Temples and storehouses, vaults
and palaces were paved with slabs of
gold and silver and tons of pearls of
monstrous size lay in, heaps and piles,
often kicked about as so many oyster

I guess everybody was mad and ex-
cited, cause the show was going to
close, and the salaries stop, as some
of the performers were crying, and
everybody was packed up, and all were
paying borrowed money.
Pa went up to the freaks platform
