Gold Galore Without ssProsperitv. ,

1t is rather a curious condition of
things that the >Transvaal in Africa,
the region now producing a greater
quantity of gold than any other part of
the world, should be in the throes Of q
business depression. The phenomenon
is probably due to the fact that the
gold taken out of the Transvaal mines
does not stay in that country.
There was a time when the United
States, although a producer of gold on
vast scale, was periodically in
state of monetary panic and business
depression, condition which, in many
If not all instances, could be traced to
the fact that this was debtor country
and was therefore unable to maintain
stock Of precious metals sufficient to
provide an ample basis for it's con-
stantly expanding credit system.

HIS PLACE ON THE BRIDGE.
Marine Captain Tells How to Avoid
Sea Accidents.

Capt. W. E. Nye, marine superin.
tendent of the United States army
transport service, who has spent q
years on the water, registered at the
Raleigh yesterday, and for several
hours was doing laps in the lobby in
an effort to get his land legs back,
says the Washington Post.
Il have sailed on almost every BODY
OF water in the world" said Capt. Nye.
and have never been in an accident.
Seven times I have rounded Cane
Horn and have been as far north as
Is. 1t is trite for me to say that one
is safer on the water than on land.
but anyone who has been sea-going as
long as have cannot believe other
WISE Some accidents on the water, of
course, are unavoidable, as are some
on land, but a large percentage of the
disasters, in my opinion, are due to
the employment of incompetent men.
1t is not to be expected that first-class
men will long work for the meager
wages that are paid by the big steam
boat companies and railroad CORPORA
lions. They can make more money
elsewhere, and the consequence is
there is continual shifting of the
working forces.
II have made it a rule ever since I
was first placed in command of a ship
in times of danger never to trust any.
one but myself. If an accident han.
pens then. I alone am to blame a.
course, | place trust in my officers. but
1t is captains duty in times of peril
to be on the bridge until all danger is
past. There have been times when 7
have spent u hours on the bridge
without food or Sleep 1t is to this
watchfulness that I attribute in
large measure my success in avoiding
accidents. In my opinion a captain
who, through cowardice or neglect
Jeopardizes the lives of the passengers
on a steamboat is as much of . crimi.
nal as is murderer"

The White Man In Africa.

Cur freed negroes have at times been
advised to go to Africa and carry the
knowledge gained by their race in the
midst of white civilization back to
their benighted brethren. Africa, it is
said, is the Negroes proper home, and
he can have it to himself because the
white man cannot live there. But there
Is now goinS On in Africa a wondrous
work Of transformation and reclama-
ton, instigated and controlled by white
genius and white power. Even white
farmers thrive there, and European
peasantry are to be settled there with
a view to making them actual tillers
Of the soil. European soldiers become
acclimated there, and many of them
remain from choice after their military
service ends. And soldering, as the
white man in Africa prosecutes it, is
hard work.
AS a rule, of course, white men do
not perform the hardest toll in tropical
Africa. They do not need to. Their
best hold is arousing and directing the
natives, bringing them out of the tor,
por of ages. Steam, electricity, and
machinery that the sun cannot wilt
are doing the work in Africa which
even the natives would sink under.
Railroads now haul freight into the
wilderness where it never went before
except savage chief with his spear or
white man with his gun stood over
the blacks who were impressed to
tote" 1t. Negro women, who take to
the woods at the sight Of a washtub
and pile Of clothes, will sit all day at
sewing machine making overalls ard
Jumpers for the black laborers, who
think the white mans machine is doing
all the work, as it really is. It is no
wonder that the sons of Stanley's ar
my Of fighters, guides and porters will
work the best that is in them to ex-
tend q railroad along Stanley's track
In the Kongo wilderness. Negroes are
not dead to sentiment nor blind to the
fact that white men are now doing
things in Africa which their traditions
told them could not be done except the
gods interfered. So in Africa the race
issue is a long way off. White and
blackare necessary, the one to the other,
the man Of brain to the man of muscle.

a New Curiosity Shon.

=
Since the consolidation Of the trac-
ton lines Of Manhattan and Bronx
boroughs of Greater New York vast
and varied assortment of sslost prop
erty" is gathered under one roof. AS
to the quantity, it is estimated that at
least 500 articles are picked up by re-
sponsible custodians every day on the
street car lines and railroad trains and
ferryboats which empty their passen-
gers into the heart Of the metropolis
The number picked up and carried off
by unscrupulous persons cannot be
known, but it is considerable.
In variety the things found by transit
employees and turned over to the .lost
property department resembles the as
sortment to be seen in a pawnbroker's
bargain window. Watches, jewelry
and wallets, likewise gloves, furs and
umbrellas, do not seem out of place in
this flotsam and jetsam of city life.
These articles Of daily use are natural
~ dropped or laid down and forgotten
in the confusion of travel. Rain coats,
overcoats and novels, too,> when: not in
use, are easily overlooked for the mo-
ment until it is too late to go back and
search the boat or car where the owner
remembers to have had them last. An
other class of ''mislaid" articles sug-
hot =;
that his property, having more poise,
stayed put. Bundles Of schoolbooks
strapped together, picks, shovels and
other cumbersome tools carried by
workmen are among the curiosities of
the collection. Dogs and cats seem to
belong there, for they can help lose
themselves. But it would be supposed
that Gagged parrots would be able to
call an absentminded owner to his or
her senses From the manner in which
newly arrived immigrant clings to
his trunk or chest, often even sitting on
it in transit, the mislaying of his earth
~ all by one recently must be set
down to panic and nothing less.
The mother tells her needless child he
would lose his 'head if it We're not tied
on" and the curiosity shop, where
claimants hunt for lost property, has
daily proof that adults are every whit
as needless as youngsters. People who
travel as business, so to speak, seem
now and then to forget that they are
not in their own dooryard and that the
surest way to have their odds and ends
where they'll be found when wanted
is to keep a grip on them from the
journeys beginning to the journeys
