Then the rush to the Rand began. The Beers,
always slow where enterprise is wanted, were un-
believing. They could not make up their minds
to abandon the certainty of COW punching for the
uncertainty of mining, even with rich claims cry
ing for takers. A few settled on the Witwaters-
rand and went to work
Meantime the news of the find spread over the
borders into English territory. The report made
sensation in Cape Town, and horde of ad-
venturers at once set out. The news reached
London and started the adventurers there. With
in year nearly every working claim was under
the spade, and nearly all were in English hands.
The Beers ON the spot had made up their minds
too late.
The workings of the Witwatersrand- White
Water Range, in English--were thirty miles in
length when all were developed. The gold was
found in formation seen nowhere else in the
world. Regular beds, or 'reefS," of dry, powdery
oouglomerate, in thickness from feet to 20 feet,
are found throughout this district. This black

EASILY MANIPULATED
In race Of this kind held some time ago in
Norway not only skirunners were included but
also men on the ski and drawn by horses others
on horseback, on foot, and on cycles, and some
wearing special road skates with broad, short
blades, which permitted them to travel four or
five miles per hour with ease 1t 10 an eloquent
testimony In favor of the ski that the compet
tors wearing those appliances were well to the
fore, and supplied the winner; besides which they
were almost as fresh on arriving as when they
started.
The use Of the ski in wintertime also makes
horses five times as useful as at other sea-
sons of the year, for then one man on horse
back can draw along with ease four men shod
with the ski.
Norwegian military encampnent at times
presents an uncommon and particularly formid-
able appearance, for, outside, the mems ski are
fixed vertically in the ground points upwards,
thus forming bristling arm-rack
The value of the ski to the Norwesians in case
of an invasion would be great, They would
become weapons for every able-bodied man in the
country. At the first call, Norsemen would nut
on their trusty ski to carry dispatches or to
spy out the movements of the enemy Word
could be sent far quicker than an invader could
pursue
The latter could certainly move, but only verv
slowly through the snowbound and unfamiliar
country, whereas the ski-runners could travel at

certainly anyone who has seen the feat perform
ed could easily understand and credit the state
ment. In the great ski race held annually on the
Holmenkollen Hill, and generally known as the
Norwegian Derby, several artificial Jumps are
made, which take the form Of boards about
thirty yards long, and raised at an angle Of
about the same number of degrees. Cornpeti-
tors dash up these at top speed, and then leap
into the air, and the length of their jumps Is
taken into consideration by the judges in decid-
ing their final placngs in the race.
Skiing is much in vogue in Austria, where ita
great value in time of war is fully recognizedi
and in certain parts of Scotland, where snow may
be confidently expected yearly, it is patronized BY
many sportsmen.

DIsCovERER OF GOLD UNKNOWN
Curiously enough, no one knows who was the
discoverer of gold in the Transvaal There was
digging in the Lydenburg and Zoutpansberg dis
tricts as long ago as 1862 but it attracted no
interest, and the gold seekers were laughed at for
their pains But in 1888, when Noodles Reef,

Of 1t went abroad, and diggers and prOspectors

A Parrot Ranch

is doubtless the parrot ranch. There
is only one and it is situated at Vic
IESENI toria, Mexico. 1t has not been in az
S-- istence many years, and fortune Is
said to have been made out Of it by
Marshall Holts its owner.
Holts, formerly conductor on railway run
ming between Victoria and Tampico, the heart
of the parrot country, collected many specimens
taught them to speak English, and then sold
them to tourists After time he gave up his
work on the railway to devote his time to raising
parrots, and he bought large tract of forest
land which was simply teeming with wild parrots
Wire netting was placed around and over the
trees and thus the birds were secured.
Holts speaks four languages fuently, so he di-
vided his flock Of several thousand birds into
four casses-one for each language. He took a
few birds from each class and began to teach
them to talk. At the end of some months he
had number of birds speaking English, French
German and Spanish These educated birds were
placed in their special sections, for HoIts believed
they would teach their companions 10 talk. His
hopes were verified. At the end Of the first year.

They are long, narrow boards, some seven or

Norwegians either screw to their boots, or fix on
with straps, and which enable them to climb
the highest mountain over soft snow, and to come
down at speed sometimes exceeding thirty miles

others from ancient days. The Vikings of old

down of wonderful feats performed by them on
the huge skates.
Nowadays the sport forms an important part
OF the Norwegian soldiers training Military
maneuvers in winter always involve the use of the
ski, and are looked forward to with great eager
ness by the soldiers

A Health Restorer

E7R. VAIN, who has achieved fame as
M cat artist, undoubtedly owed an i'm
mense debt of gratitude to the feline
le&YD race, for his cats have made him fa-
nous, but he has repaid all that his
furry friends have done for him as
president of the English National Cat Club, as a
member of the committee of the Society for the
Protection of Cats, and of the Cats Home.
What Mr.. Vain does not know of the habits
manners and customs of the domestic cat is not
worth knowing, and his theory that our petted
tabbies may act as health restorers to their
owners is decidedly interesting
Cats, as everyone knows, full of electricity.
Stroke a cat in the dark and see the sparks fly.
Well, let the person of poor health and over
strung nerves keep stroking pussie's fur, and the
electricity will gradually become absorbed from
t.s cat into the human being. That, at any
rate, is Mr.. Wain's theory, and those who win
can easily put it to the test.

The rules and regulations for the

HoW to Become Expert
at the BoWling Game
\ Few Pointers to Beginners by Frank
BrilI-Brief History Of the Sport.

Frank |, of Chicago, or better
known as Pop, one of the best known
bowlers of the country having played
in special matches both in the east
and west. tells in his own words how
to become an expert at the popular
game. Brill is well known to local
bowlers and many good pointers may
be gathered from his story:
THE game of bowling requires al
most as much preparation as any
game that is played to-day. Until one
acquires form he will tire himself at
the game and accomplish poor results.
1t is a game that requires a great deal
of strength to become expert, but this
may gradually be developed.
Care should be taken in every
movement until one has learned to
work like machine. Many star
player has been put out of big match
through the simple cause of getting
excited and failing to watch the balls
as they come in on the runway, with a
smashed finger or thumb as a result.
Little suggestions can be given to
players as to correct position to take
when aiming for the head pin. every
man having more or less his own
style best fitted for his build and
method of letting go of the ball. Cen
eral suggestions are to take a posi-
tion about three long steps back of the
foul line with a little allowance for
the slide.
"A player soon learns which posi-
