OF overcapItalixatIon Mr.. Rockefeller
IL quoted as saying: 4 think the prop

there would be such feeling Of secur'
ity In them among the general public
that we would find men with little
money holding highly profitable stocks
instead OF allowing II TO remain At
small interest In savings banks"
Mr.. Rockefeller, however. was unable
10 suggest remedy for existing cases
Of oyercapltalizafion. He said. In his
Judgment, II would be next To impos.
sible TO reduce such capitalizatIons ms

for future corporations he would s1g.

Asked n he thought conference be.
tween railroad men and the govern

Ter said: Il cannot say. II Is my idea
Federal control would be a better
thing for the roads. They then would
understand what laws they must oh

manding one thing and another state

Speaking OF the financial condition

Properties Of Gold.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos-
phere either at ordinary temperatures
or when the metal is heated 1t is also
proof against the action of common
acids when used singly. Moreover, it
confers it's properties more or less upon
copper and silver when these metals
are alleged with it. Thus, for example,
twelve karat gold will withstand the
action of nitric acid and the atmos-
phere at ordinary temperature, but
some of the copper will be OxidiZed
during annealing.. Nine parts Of gold
may be alleged with ten parts Of plat
mum in an ordinary crucible ana fire,
but such an alloy will not be uniform.
A larger proportion of platinum will
free itself from the gold ON solidifca
ton, and homogeneous alloy of the
two metals cannot be obtained.-Jewel-

Wooden Anchors.

The BasQues, a strange race inter-
mediate between French and Span
iards, have for all time been great fish
ermen, and some of their craft and
seagoing gear are totally different
from any other known types. Perhaps
the most remarkable relic Of bygone
civilizations is the primitive wooden
anchor still in use among them and to
be seen in the fishing settlements round
Biarritz, Guethary or st. Jean de Luz.
These wooden anchors are in all prob
ability of the identical type in use
among the Phoenicians twenty centu-
ries ago The wooden anchor is rough
hewn out of three branches, SO fasten-
ed to crossbar, also Of wood, as to in
close q great stone of twenty or thirty
pounds weight. Here is cheap but
effectual anchor for comparatively light
boats It can be made ON the spot, and
it entails little loss if, in a sudden
sQuall, it has to be left imbedded in
the rocks

Dickens and SchooImasters.

Dickens, with something III his dis

children. was q bitter foe of any one
relative, teacher or official guardian
who tyrannized over them. \ writer
in the New York Post points out that
he seems to take special delight in ex-
posing the misdeeds Of mercenary and
cold hearted pedagogues. When ones

to the attention the novelist gave to
schools and their methods, it is i1,er-

Copperfeld's two schools-Dr. Strongs
and Mr. Creakle's = the Gradgrind

amazed upon special investigation to

son SO unerring that better conditions
