Brother of Standard Oil Magnate Tells
How He Saw Wonders in Mine

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 12.-Frank
Rockefeller of Cleveland, O., was wit
ness today i'll his suit against Henry
Goss for the restitution of $25O,OO0 spent
by Rockefeller for a mine in southwest
Missouri.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that he inspected
the mine previous to buying it. Il went
down in a shaft" he said, land my at
tention was constantly called to bodies
of ORE In the center room of the mine
was a pillar that appeared to be prac-
tically solid zinc ore. The walls Of the
room had the same appearance. The
lights carried by the party made it look
like one great crystal palace. The floor
seemed to be Of solid ore"
Rockefeller alleges he was induced
through misrepresentation to buy the
mine and will endeavor to show that the
crystal palace effects witnessed by him
did not faithfully portray the worth of
the deposit of ore. He said he paid
100000 for the mine and spent $50, 900
in improvements.

WOMEN PLAN CAMPAIGN
Eighteenth Ward Members of Social Eco
Monies Club Will Be Active.

The members of the Social Economics
zenith ward, are much interested in the
election of the school director from that
ward to take the place of Alexander
Wall, who has declined reelection. 1t is
probable that committee to work on
this question before the spring elections,
may be appointed. This is the first time
that the women of Milwaukee have had
opportunity to vote for school directors,
and the members of this club feel that
inasmuch as it will in future devote itself
to municipal questions, the members
must take advantage of this opportunity
to shape the personnel of the next school
board.

CHAPTER Xxx.

InlS V1SlC OF Jean s was the GROWING
point of Audrey's happiness. Jean loved
to watch them strolling together arm in
arm, through the grounds. She was
dreamer, and she transformed those two
into every hero and heroine of history or
romance. Day by day she found some
new trait to love and admire.
AS for Jack, he cordially liked the
pale, intellectual-faced girl; she was by
nature a thorough lady, and her mind
gave evidence of deep thought, that only
required culture to blossom into great
cleverness.
After they had been at Craiglands a
fortnight there was a hustle and a con-
fusion Miss Fraser returned to Dingle-
wood House. She brought back with her
about half a dozen guests, among whom
were Mrs Fairfax and her daughter, the
Honorable Lancelot Twist, and Beverley
Rochfort. Lady Daleswater was to join
her in a few days. and the earl also prom
ised the honor of his presence.
81 suppose we shall be having a we'd
ding at Dinglewood before long" declar-
ed Jack, one morning at luncheon.
Audrey was silent for moment.
"Gladys will be at Dingewood next
week. Must we ask them to dinner?
she said at length.
81 really don't see why we should. If
GLADYS wants to visit Mountberry she
ought to come and stay with US; she
knows that

at Dinglewood House,? Jean suggested
timidly.
you may do as you like, Audrey, but
T still maintain that Gladys should have
come to us first; there, kiss me, darling.
T am going to ride over to Belghton on
business"
Audrey ran to the door with him, and
cow him mount and ride away.
"Now for our visiting, JEAN she said,
ord ordered out the barouche, and went
70 dress herself for the occasion.
They called at a number of houses, at

and MANY Others and ended by alighting

UNPUBLISHED RICE.

Learning that the method of polishing
rice to give it a pearly appearance de-
prived it of a large percentage of its al
luminous and fattening qualities and
that the japanese use it unpublished, says
the Vegetarian Magazine, was what
opened our eyes to the advantages OF
unpublished rice.
The trade refusing to supply rice in
this form, the Vegetarian Society sup

ready about forty times more unpublished
rice has been sold than was sold the first
year of its Introduction. The increase
during 1904 and 1905 was about four

The party on board the Mona was
broken up. Audrey's nerves were shat

happy until he could remove her from

@asively, and his heart rejoiced at the

Make All But Steel Shell.

the beginning OF the next hScaI year, but
to save time Admiral Mason decided to
let the contracts at once.
Make All But Steel Shell.
The new factory will give employment
to at least POO skilled workmen. 1t is
proposed to make every part of the tor
pedo except the steel TASKS which con-
tain the compressed air used to drive the
engines and propel the torpedo.
Material of particular excellence is re-
CURED for these TASKS, owing to the nigh
pressure they are obliged to sustain,
ranging in the case of the latest torpe-
does up to more than 5000 pounds to the
square inch.
New "Flyer" Type Favored.
The present type of naval torpedo runs
$500 yards under water at the average
speed of 2612 knots. But experiments
conducted by the ordnance bureau have
developed torpedo that will attain the
marvellous speed of 35 knots per hour
at a distance of 1000 yards, and it is
possible that this type will be adopted
when fully developed and turned out at
the new factory instead of the present
standard type.
Powder Poor; Makers Discharged.
AS the result of the discovery of Sc
rious irregularities in the manufacture of
powder for the government, there have
ployes of the Latin x Rand Powder
company at Haskell, n. J. A board of
naval officers is now engaged in an in
vestigation to discover to what extent
the government has suffered because of
these irregularities.

| A goodly number of American naval
officers will watch with interest the
entry into Hampton Roads, May s. of
the big japanese armored cruiser Tsu-
kuga This ship, with a speed on natur-
al draft of about twenty-five knots.
which is better than any American
cruiser can do, was turned out from a
Japanese ship yard by Japanese work
men, who are just beginning naval CON
struction. The Tsukuga was under com
mission and on the high seas within two
years from the date her keel was laid
down in Japan No such speed of con
struction as this has ever been attained
in American ship yards.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March -

reau of ordnance, has just completed
plans for the construction of a torpedo
factory at the Newport naval station.
This will be the first time the govern
ment has undertaken to make its own
torpedoes on large scale.
The ordnance bureau has available
$155,000 for beginning this work. The
appropriation cannot be touched before
