that sum. The majority OF women know

The Seas Gold.

"The Curles extracted their radium
from pitchblende," said a scientist,
"and there Is much less radum in
pltchblende than there Is gold in the
sea. Why, then, shouldn't the seas In
exhaustible gold supply be wrested
from the waves?
"a Baptist minister came near en-
riching himself with an electrical proc
ess for drawing the gold from the sea
water. He formed a company with a
capital of $4,000 and put up a plant
to deal with 10000 tons Of water a
day, expecting therefrom weekly net
profit Of $4,000.
"But unfortunately, though every ton
Of sea water yielded 2 cents worth Of
gold, the expense Of extracting the
gold was a little over 2 cents for ev-
cry ton. Had 1t been a little under
untold wealth. But 1t was little over.
1--WE laugh at the idea Of extracting
gold from sea water, just as we'd have
laughed ten years ago at the idea Of
extracting from pitchblende such a
marvellous substance as radlum, but l
am sure the day will come when sea
water will yield up its rsdium In pay
ing quantities, and few wise In
vestors will be unimaginably enriched"

HishOp McCahe.

Bishop Charles G. McCabe has long
been a famous man In the Methodist
church. He is a fighter and has cross
ed swords ON many occasions with
such men as DR.. Buckley on matters
of church policy. As young man he
was chaplain of the One Hundred and
Twenty-second Ohio infantry during
the civil war. He was taken prisoner
at the battle of Winchester and spent
four months in Libby prison. In 1858
he became agent for the Church Exten-
sion society and made tremendous
record by travelling all over the coun-
try organizing churches. AS secretary
Of the Methodist Episcopal Missionary
society he called for "a million for mis-
sions" and then set out to get It. He
visited church after church and by
ringing appeals drew money from the
worshipers. In 1896 he was elected
bishop. Though now seventy years old,
his faculties are unimpaired.-M. A. +.

A DESERTED VILLAGE.
Il Cost n million and Now Stands IT.
Dense Woods.

Il Cost a htlliOn ana NOW STANDS La
Dense Woods.
Hidden behind the PERCEPTIONS rocky
bluffs of Point Mamalnse, OH the north
shore of Lake Superior, lies the once
thriving village of Mamainse, long q
deserted town of former comfortable
homes and well paved streets. 1t
stands in the midst of thick wood,
and except for the occasional hunter
or prospector it Is never visited 1t
has some fifty dwelling houses, besides
other buildings, nearly all constructed
OF fine white pine, and q shaft house,
stamp mill and reduction works.
Near the site Of this deserted town
Is an old and abandoned copper mine,
the attempt to open which explains the
existence OF the village, the last re-
naming vestige of an English corpora
ton. backed by mint of money. The
outcroppings of mineral were rich, and
on the strength Of this showing, even
before the shaft was started that was
to open the supposed copper deposit.
the corporation built its town and
stamp mill and reduction works.
More than million dollars were ex-
pended In this way, and at one time
there were more than 200 men on the
payroll Money was spent lavlshly.
Long and beautiful drives were laid
lo x,tr Of M ar
line was established between the town
and Sault Ste. Marie. But copper was
lacking, and the enterprise failed, to
the dead loss of the stockholders.
The corporation was called the Que
bec-Lake Superior Copper Mining COM
pany. Operations were conducted for
several years and In 1884 were sus-
pended indefinitely, since which time
the town has been abandoned to I'M
derbrush and weeds. The buildings
remain standing, denuded Of doors and
windows and open to the SHOWS and
rains.
1t was not expected by the last group
Of people that departed from the place
that the village would be deserted. In
fact, the majority Of the houses were
left furnished and the big general store
well stocked with goods. For a time
watchmen were employed to protect
the property against thieves, but finally
they, too, were recalled, and all was
abandoned to its fate.
AS soon as II was discovered that no
one was left to take care of the mill,
shops. store and houses, systematic
spollation was organized, and plumber
from the town was taken away by the
boat load.
The mining claim, together with the
entire tract of land, comprising 6,1OO
acres, was subsequently acquired by
w. II. Plummer of the Canadian 500
In liquidation of claim of some thou
sands Of dollars.
The main street Of the town Is mile
in length. A remarkable fact In con-
nection with the houses is that, al
though never painted, they today look
almost like new buildings. The quality
of the lumber probably is responsible
for this. The plaster. too, remains
white and clean, uncracked by frost or
rain. There Is not one among them
that is not quite as Clearly as the ordi
nary tenant house in the cities.-Chica-

MRS. NlCKLEBYS GARDEN.
Estate at Bow, Where Dickens Laid
One of His Famous Scenes.


Many interesting associations are
linked with the Grove Hall estate, at
Bow, which recently came under the
auctioneer's hammer. 1t was here
that Charles Dickens laid the scheme
of the amusing lovemaking episodes
between Mrs. Nicholas Nickleby and
the gentleman belonging to the house
next door," Here stood the little cot
tage at Bow" and the quaint old gar
den in which Mrs. Nlckleby and her
daughter Kate received the love offer
ings Of vegetable marrows, cucumbers
and onions Is still in existence.
Until recently the estate was the site
Of Byas private lunatic asylum. just
of the Bow road-the highroad to
Chigwell. with which the novelist was
, well acquainted-and about three or
four hundred yards down Fairfield
road the visitor comes to large high
brick wall Passing through the mar
row porter's lodge, he at once steps into
an old world garden Of quaint and sin
gular beauty. In front Of him stretches
a long avenue Of plane trees, and away
in the distance are vistas Of winding
paths and leafy lanes.
1t Is O strange spot, situated In the
heart Of London's east end, a spot
which few would expect to find In this
busy district. At the end Of the ave-
nue. and away to the left lies the old
| time garden In which the eccentric lady
| and her still more eccentric lover COM
muned in the days Of long ago. Tho
old wall. thicllly covered with ivy and
| creepers. over which the gentleman
| from next door" conversed with Mrs.
| Nickleby. is still there, much worn
| with age In the center Of the garden
| Is n large patch Of evergreens and mar.
| igolds. Willie sweet smelling jasmine
| perfumes the air with its fragrance.
| One can easily reconstruct the love
| scene In the old fashioned corner and
see in imagination the lady demurely
rejecting the proposals Of the mailman
from next door"
| The little cottage has long since been
| demolished. and on its site now stand
| the remains Of laundry. But the land
marks are still left, and 1t will be q
| pity II these old associations are allow
| ed to be obliterated by the march OF
the builder. 1t Is delightful sylvan
retreat, and the many lovers OF Dick
ems will hope that the suggestion of the
Dickens fellowship that the authorities
should secure the place as public
recreation ground will be acted upon
The estate, which is still surrounded
by the high wall of Byas' private luna
tic asylum. comprises close upon u
dozen acres Of beautifully wooded land.
Such a spot would make an ideal recre'
alton ground.
The asylum itself was closed some
months ago, and the buildings, with the
exception of one or two at the extreme
left Of the grounds, have been pulled
| down.-London News.

RIVER PILOTS.
Skill OF the Men who steer on New
York FerrybOnts.

The best helmsmen In the world are
those who steer on ferryboats. The
idea of a ferryboat is a float that
crosses the water from shore to shore.
and that, In fact, is what it is. But the
complications of commerce and tide,
with the added factors Of difficulty OF
fog, coupled with the necessity OF
crossing ON time, make upon the wheel
man Of a ferryboat demands that no
steersman or pilot elsewhere has TO
meet. As commerce Increases difficult
ties increase, and the pilot or ferry
boat by the law Of development be-
comes a factor of Importance and seri
BUSINESS.
For example. the North river ferry.
boats, each one Of which crosses the
river once every half hour, is steered
by pilot who stands watch ten or
twelve hours day. He therefore on
an average makes twenty to twenty
four transits as full of responsibility as
that of a pilot bringing In a big ship
past Sandy Hook. But, unlike the pilot
who can wait for tide or the passage
Of ships to give him clear road, he
must make his time. He has trains to
meet at the Jersey side. malls to de-
liver and thousands of determined pas
sengers who must be landed on either
shore and promptly.

unwieldy craft the absence Of acci'
dents indicates. How nearly he comes
to having them is matter that few
, Of the thousands who ride safely be.
meath him ever guess. But he knows.
Clear eyed, clear Drained, careful.
quick, silent, intelligent and. more than
that intuitively informed, he carries
his big, shapeless boat across seas more
dangerous than the ocean and brings
her into port with a tenderness that
suggests the kisses Of lovers as she
pushes her docile nose into the embrac-
ing slip.
There are thirty-four ferry lines
crossing East and North rivers. They
send out boat on an average during
| daylight hours every seven minutes.
They carry an average Of 800 passen-
gers. Some of them cross each other
In their line Of route. All Of them en-
counter the general movement Of river
traffic. But collisions almost never
happen, and time Is so well kept that
even the kicking suburbanite has no
complaint TO make.-New York Press.
