Sea Gives Up Its Wealth.


 "Californians have solved the problem of the alchemists and are making gold out of sea water. - says William Briggs, writing in The Technical World Maga- zine for May, The Golden State has taken golden treasure out of her noun tains, has made her valleys yield millions of dollars worth of golden fruit. has amassed tourist gold in exchange from her sunshine, and now turns to the great lazy Pacific and ransacks it's coners.
 ''There Is no rush of prospectors to the new field however, as the gold is coming out of the sea in the form of salts of potassiuin magnesium and bro- mide, which would elude the pan and the rocker of the prospector.

To Boil Worlds Germs,

"The theory that to run polluted or germ infected water through some little grains of sand or yards of canvas or in and out of endless tubes would turn it into the purest nectar has been ex- poded," writes NJ. Glen Fling, in the Technical World magazine for May. There is nothing but intense heat that will worst the pesky health destroyers. To strain them, to pound them, to keep them everlasting dancing doesn't daunt them bit It takes a good hard boil ing to knock the life ard mischief out of them.
 Inventors of many countries set to work to construct practical sterilizer which could be hidden in the tonneau of an automobile, strapped to the paddle of a canoe, or carried about in the vest pocket. It seemed impossible, however, to secure the end sought for But a German name Hartman has devised portable sterlizng system that is being put into operation in German Southwest Africa, the Philippine Islands. and other lands where good water is precious liquid and where levers break out and attack whole settlements.
 '.very soon these little stoves and rub Der hose and canvas bags will be in use in our southern and gulf states, from Virginia to Texas. These new sterilizers are made in many sizes and can be adapt ed for all conditions. They are partic- ularly valuable for army use. for they can be carired on the back or strapped to pack mules and transported long dis tances without difficulty" eNtg

I IAMBETH'S LONDON LETTER

mother of Queen. Victoria Eugenie of Spain, has developed such liking for Spain and Spanish ways that she intends to practically live near her daughter.
 King Edward is understood to be great ly annoyed at the announcement that Princess Henry intends building a mag nificent palace near Miramar, the sum- mer royal residence in Spain and that she will spend very little time at Ken sngton palace in the future.
 The conversion of the then Princess Ena to Roman Catholicism caused a great Protestant outcry in England, and the marked influence which Dr. Brindle, the Roman Catholic bishop of Noting ham, possesses over the present queen and her mother has added to the gen. eral resentment.
 Princess Henry will probably become a Roman Catholic in the near future, and it is said that her two sons will em- brace that faith likewise.
 The King is displeased at Princess Henry's readiness to renounce all her English interests and to practically be- come a Spanard. The Princess now speaks the language quite fiuently and English is seldom or never used in the royal apartments at Madrid.
 Lady Sarah Wilson is said to be the best bridge player in London this year. She has won more games than any other player in the smart set" and her run of luck at some country houses has been simply phenomenal. Lady Sarah does ev- erything well.
 She was a clever correspondent during the South African war, when she man. aged to get herself captured by the en- emy, and she has written many brilliant articles since.
 She has a plan for publishing daily paper for women in London, which will probably be successful, if certain fnan- cial details can be arranged. Lady Sarah is convinced that there is a legitimate fleldfeld for such a publication, which would be for such a publication, which would be edited and printed by women alone, with Lady Sarah as the editor-in- chief

Litter Made Into Building Paper.

From the Chicago News
 All of the trashly looking odds and ends of paper Kicked around in the big ware houses of the big paper stock dealers do not find their way into the hands of scav- engers. They are of too great a value for that. One of these days, if you are building a cottage, you will require some of this litter to use in construction and when you get it you will recognize it as some of the stuff represented in big, clumsy looking bundles.
 Down at the docks of the river any day now may be seen thousands of tons of the old paper, ready to be trundled aboard boats bound for Michigan, where it Is converted in great mills into building paper. It Is then returned to the dealers. By this time it is in clean brown rolls and the average person never would sus- peet that it once was swept into heaps, apparently fit only for the furnace. Much of the stock Is sent to Michigan by boat in summer. Trains haul it In the winter months Sixteen carloads were being put aboard boats one day last week.

 oNDoN, April 2O.-Judging from the
 preparations made by certain Am L erican milllonairesses, there will be more money spent by members of the American section in entertainments thls season than ever before.
 One of the leading hostesses this sum mer will be Mrs. Glasgow, who recently leased one of the largest houses m berhe- ley Square. and is now spending s'o,ovo in decorations and fittings. She is ex- tremey pretty and has the reputation TOT saying very smart things.
 Mrs. Glasgow. who introduced Miss Edith Clarke, ,of New York, at a very large dinner party the other day, mas become extremely popular by reason or her naive Americanism." and IS one or the few really expert lady motorists who can take a car to pieces if necessary and make all kinds of repairs.
 The triumph of Mrs. Potter Palmer at Biarritz is the sensation of the Amer iean colony both there and in London. Mrs Palmer even succeeded in inducing King Edward to- dine at her Villa oe- fore he left for Spain.
 Her entertainments in London last sea-
  though she secured many well-known smart people as guests, 1t was an open secret that Mrs Palmer yearned for the presence of. royalty.
 Her dinner party at Biarritz means great deal in the way of increased SO cial prestige in London. Covers were lald for eighteen, and the menu cost about ss2 A head according to the estimate oi the maitre dhotel. The greatest novel, ty was forced cherries, growing on real branches. and King Edward was so pleased with them that he ate them nearly alI-"with both hands as one or the guests afterward expressed 1t.
 Mrs Palmer was, of course forced 10 ask all the people the King wanted, m cludlng Mrs. George Keppel, who sat next his majesty at dinner and enter tained him with the usual collection or smart stories.
 Sir Ernest Cassel, Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, and Mrs. Ralph Sneyd were also present. Some of the ~King friends practically ignored Mrs. Potter Palmer during the dinner, they were so busy passing up fresh stories to keep the King in a good humor.
 The night after the dinner party Mrs. Potter Palmer swept into the Casino at Biarritz like a triumphant queen. She is shortly coming to London taking a new house for the season, and will enter tain lavishly She will now be able to secure many diners who have previously held aloof

 Viscount Turnour, the energetic young son of the Earl of Winterton who re- gently returned from the United States, is being angled after by many mothers of eligible daughters.
 He Is considered the most desirable catch of the season, not excepting the young Marquis of Anglesey, whom dis taste for society is said to be heightened by the wiles of matchmaking mammas.
 Lord Turnour will. inherit vast estates from his father, as well as the title. Some of the most valuable property in the East End of London belongs to him. He is writing a book on the United States-not the usual half-baked produc- ton of hurried tourist, as he hastens to assure his friends, but book of personal impressions. including some amusing incidents of his stay in New York He has described the American metropolis as ''the most wonderful city in the world
 The grand old man. of the British peerage, the Earl of Wemyss who is a warm personal friend of MT. Whitelaw Reid, is celebrating his 90th year by painting a large portrait of himself in oils.
 Lord Wemyss is an artist of more than average ability, and one of his pictures was exhibited in the Royal Academy some years ago. He is a picturesque old man, and so hale and hearty that. he spends two mornings a week playing 9 strenuous game of golf.
 The links at his country seat at Cos ford have been played over by some fa- nous men and women. The Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia spend nearly all their time playing golf when visiting Gosford.
 The portrait of himself, which Lord Wemyss is painting at his town house in St. James place, by means of mir TOT, is intended as a birthday present for his wife.

 The hours are, of course according to Turkish style of designating the time, that is to say, from the fourth until the eleventh hour after sunrise. The Sultan thinks that seven hours work ought to be sufficient time in which to execute tho necessary work as it undoubtedly would be if the officials lived up to the rule lai1 down, but, sad to say, an trade loses it's power in two weeks at any rate.
 No Turkish official remains in his of- flee more than three or four hours day, and the higher the official the shorter the working hours, When minister of state has given the High Porte two hours of his time, he considers that he has done all that may be expected of him, and even during these 12O minutes he does not believe in working too hard. as series of snapshots secretedly taken by the government spies and delivered into the hands of the Sultan have proved.
 The snapshots, indeed bear strong resemblance to one printed in an Amer ican paper of New York district attor- ney in his office. with due allowance for the difference in the habits of the two countries.

WHERE He LOST OUT.
Question That Killed the Romance of
Loves Young Dream.

There Is certain maiden near
Pikesville who had an experience the
other evening that threatened to be
thrilling and was only fiat. Boarding
at the same cottage where she is with
her family there is very nice young
gentleman-in fact, a very estimable
young man-and this young man has
been paying her a great deal of atten-
ton.
The other evening he invited her to
take a drive, and she accepted. The
moon has been particularly lovely re-
Gently, and on this evening it was ex-
quisite-e everything seemed most ro-
mantle. The route taken was beauti-
full, passing through woodland glens,"
as the girl afterward described them,
where the moonbeams filtered through
the branches of the trees, and one
could just imagine Cupid was linger-
ing around every turn.
The silence had been fraught with
meaning for sometime
Then the young man spoke.
What would you do if should kiss
your" he inquired
Why, Mr. Smith. hope you would
not do such thing" was the proper,
and, as the girl afterward remarked,
the only thing she could say. Then
they drove onward
Il don't think much of a man who
deliberately asks you If he can kiss
you, anyway" pouted the girl after she
had arrived at the stage where she
could see the humor of the affair.

too many aboard, got into a
squabble about some matter,
and during its progress succeed

one half of the type in this Of

we were considerably democrat

not do the subject justice, and
