was astonishing. BY counting up the

was found that the average wealth
brought across the border from these
States was $500 for each settler. This
average FOR the four States amounted
70 total of S6.S76. i20. As the number of
Americans who crossed the frontier
during the year was 61,2S2 the whole

NOTABLE LIVING PICTURE" FAKE

Probably tho most notable faxed living
picture ever produced was that which
purported TO give a representation of
the actual scene inside Westminster
Abbey at the Kings coronation. The
production was the work of an inventive
Frenchman who had special scenery of
the abbey painted and reproductions of
the historical costumes made. Then a
number Of French actors were made
up 70 represent the King. the aged
primate. and other central figures-and
remarkably lifelike they were The
mock coronation ceremony took place
at quiet little village in Brittany, and
the films were sent TO London for re-
production in one of the leading houses
OF entertainment. The managers. how
ever. made no attempt 10 impose on the
public. and openly confessed that the
scene was q fake. London Chronicle

Says the London Times: The pretty
story Of Smiths rescue from imminent
death by Pocahontas, when he was in
the clutches of her redoubtabie father.
Fowhatan, has been rather blown upon
by later historians. It has been shown
that Smith. in his earlier narrative only
mentions the princess incidentally as a
child. and it was not until she came
afterward % England. and Sh,ith wrote
an account OF her for the eddication of
the court. that he described wildly how
she hazarded the beating out of her
