central plateau, shows us exactly how
the story originated.

ried in each hand an antelope horn,

Moreover, they worked upon all

soil.

Gold Near Washington.

Gold is mined within sight OF Wash

the CAPITAL are really Il part of the
Appalachian system. and before the
outbreak of the gold fever in California
all the geld produced in the United
States came oct of the Appalachian
mines. Only the ores that contained
free milling gold could be worked with
the crude processes then known, says
the Technical World. Then. too, be-
cause of the presence of subterranean
streams mining could not be done at
any great depth. Nevertheless gold
mines are in profitable operation today
in Maryland and southwestern Nir-
ginia, and these gold veins, badly
broken and disintegrated, are being
worked down through the Carolinas
and into Georgia and Alabama. There
is not a ravine Or gulch in the environs

The CITY of sese paaodas.

An interesting discovery has been
made by the archaeological department
of India in an old pagos!a at Pagan,
which has been called the city of tie
5000 pagodas and the religious capital
Of Burma. Excavations at Petleak-
paya. or ''the Pagoda of the Curling
Leaf have brought to light IN arched
corridor or ambulatory, forming part
of an older building than the visible
portion of the pagoda. which clearly
dates from the reign of Anawrata in
the eleventh century. This corridor is
decorated with double rows of square
terra Gotta reliefs on the exterior and
interior sides of the walls. presenting
the transmutations of Gotama before
he became Buddha. The number of
these changes is supposed by tradition
to be $50. 1.-The figures are vigorously
modelled to use the words of the OIL
cial narrative, land almost as sharp

Pipe OPIUM, Is Not D-ra Opium,

People who have read of the present
war against opium in China have asked
me lately" said the drug importer.
whether the stopping of its cultivation
there would not seriously shorten our
supply for medicinal purposes. Very
few seem to understand that the Chi
nese smoking opium, which is raised in
India and China. is an entirely differ
ent article from the opium of the drug
market. That comes almost wholly
from Turkey, though there is a little
from Persia too. Smyrna is the center
of the trade. The duty on Turkish
opium is only dollar a pound. while
that on the opium of Chinatown is sc
pound. That would be sufficient to pro-
hibit much Importation Besides. the
smoking variety is of very inferior
strength, yielding not more than 4 or 5
per cent of morphine. while crude OPT
tNa for drug purposes is not allowed to
be imported unless it shows at least 8
per cent of morphine when tested. So.
you see. the destruction of the Chinese
poppy fields is not going to deprive us
of our necessary narcotics. New York
