kipling as an Art Critic.

AS an after dinner speaker the au-
thor Of 1.-THE Absentminded Beggar" is,
even his most ardent admirers will con-
TESS, not success. AS an art critic
he has pretensions. His friend Baden
Powell thinks himself something of an
artist and is an assiduous member of
the London Sketch club. ITO see him
there" says writer In the Grand
Magazine, struggling with pencil and
water colors one would think he cared
more for artistic than military re-
nown." Upon one Of the gallant SOL
diers artistic triumphs the novelist has
written two verses. One runs as fol-
lows:
This Is the ocean bright and blue
With the Dunedin Castle blowing through.
But Il you turn 1t upside down
1t is the veldt SO bright and brown.
The other has been lost to posterity.-

YIN this age Of doubt many Of our
U most cherished legends are being
u assaulted, the various apple sto-
~~ ries along with the rest. There
have been at least three famous apples
ID history-the one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot off his sons head by
William Tell and the one whose fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
of gravitation. Despite the scofing of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton was rather a dull boy and
was literally kicked into exertion He
stood at the foot Of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead Of
him In the class. This he did, and
more, for he went to the head Of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission to Cambridge univer-
sity. He knew so little about Euclid
that the professor of mathematics op-
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded so well that he Became the
greatest mathematical genius of mod
eru times.
Voltaire started the story Of the ap-
pie that fell and hit Newton so hard
chat the young man determined to find
out what made it fall. II so great
skeptic as Voltaire could swallow the
story, there is no reason why it should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac zarst made his COM
putations on the subject Of gravita-
ton, he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held of the length of the
earth's radius. He therefore abandon
ed the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
to the subject, completed the demon
stration and gave it to the world in his
famous "Principia."
In the meantime he had made his al
most equally famous discoveries con-
corning light, dividing white light into
the primary colors and determining the
difference of refrae elton between them.
He also did much in perfecting the tel
escope, gave to mathematics integral
and differential calculus and made 9TH
or contributions to science which mark

SWELLING A TOWN.

All Its Houses Built of Bricks of Gold
and Silver Ore.
One reads Of romantic castles of sill
yer and palaces of gold, but they ara
the dreams of fiction. Now they have
discovered something as strange on the
map of Mexico. The buildings of a
whole town have been bought at SC
much ton, based on assays from the
adobe walls, which give gold and silver
values. This town Is Guanajuato's
suburb, Tepetapa, at a value Of about
$4,000 Mexican currency.
The value Of this little town was re-
vealed when the Mexican Central de-
cided to build into the city of GUIANA
duato and to establish q station there.
1t was found necessary to tear down
about 300 buildings which had been
built of the shines produced by the
grinding of ores from the numerous
mines Of the district Straw was mixed
with the slime to make the adobe
bricks.
When it became known that the Cen
trail would have to tear down these
ASASS6 OLA C4tSA pLlSlAS OlE DuS llE
company asked for permission to as
say ore taken from the buildings. This
was granted, and samples were picked
from the walls at various heights and
on various sides Of the buildings, the
assays running in value from So to S24
ton in gold and silver. The values
averaged about So gold a ton.
AS the buildings were built In vari-
GUS bonanza epochs, it was found that
the values varied to a large extent.
For instance, wall on one side of
house would assay low value, where
as wall on the other side, built at an
earlier or later time, would assay
high value. A mans kitchen might
assay 60 cents ton and his parlor
$50.
That the walls are found to contain
more gold than silver values is due to
the fact that the old patio process Of
treating the ores was more effective in
extracting silver than gold values, and
the shines left were richer In gold than
silver. 1t will be harder to build such
a town In the future, as the camp il
now fitted out with modern appliances
for treating ores.-Mexican Herald.

Among the people who attended the

called on the cartoonist years ago at
his home In Morristown for the pur-
pose Of seeing and talking to the art
LIST, for whom he had great admira-
ton. In the course of the pleasant in
terview the visitor expressed desire
to buy rough sketch of a cartoon
showing Boulanger receiving the re-
suit Of the French elections In which
the general had been defeated. Mast
said that he thought too much Of it
to part with the sketch. When lot
No. 1876 was put up it was recognized
as the coveted cartoon, and the man
who could not buy it few years ago
at any price bid So and secured the pic.

MONEY CHANGERS.
They Must Keep Posted on European
Coins and Counterfeits.

They Must Keep Posted on European
Coins and Counterfeits.
II never realized until today" said q
man who had just returned from Eu-
rope, what an undertaking it is to be
money changer.
Il came back with about $40 in for
eign money, principally French and
Italian. This took to money
changers to cash in.
"He looked over the coins rapidly,
throwing them into little piles and put
ting down notes On slip of paper
When he had cleared up the lot he
said had $10.25 coming to me.
Eat first thought he was doing me,
but he was not. He showed me a
dozen or SO Italian coins that had been
demonetized and were worth about 40
cents on the dollar. There was a nice
little pile of counterfeits that were not
worth cent, and altogether only
about a third of the coins that
value
'"The only consolation I had was that
/ thanked my stars I am in the insur
ance business and not in the exchange;
business, for my poor little brain
could not carry half the things that
those fellows have to remember
The man with the coins did not ex.
aggerate. There are thousands of diff
ferent coins floating about that 8
money changer has to know. He has
to keep in mind every demonetized
coin made within the last hundred
years.
In addition to that, there are counter
feits. The immigrants bring over heaps
Of bad coins. Many Of them buy up
counterfeits cheap, with the hope Of
exchanging. them at Ellis island.
Then there are the coins Of the South
American countries. They are worse
than those of the European countries.
Brazil, for instance, has a scheme all
Its own. Certain notes are good for ten
years. After that time for every year
they lose 10 per cent Of their face
value until the whole value is used up
and they are worth only the paper
they are printed On.
AS one man expressed it, you have to
know the history Of the world to be a
money changer. A peculiar part of the
business is the reshipment Of coins
back to the countries whence they
came. Often during the rush season
one firm sends back million coins,
while 1t is estimated that In the course
of year S1O,00o,O00 In foreign money
Is reshipped to Europe and a million to
the rest of the world
Money changing is a business just
like any other They do not exchange
money: they buy it and when you go
there with foreign coins they buy them
from you at stated price. When you
go there to get foreign coins you buy
them from them at certain price just
as you buy eggs and cigsrs.--New York
Sun.

ton After Death.
@What became of Cromwell 2" The
question is a vexed one According to
an ancient tradition Cromwell's body
was conveyed away Immediately after
his death in obedience to his last Or
ders and was buried on Naseby field,
:Where he had obtained the greatest
victory and glory" According to an
other account, Mary, Lady Faucon-
berg, Cromwells daughter, was able
to convey the body away from its
grave in the abbey and to have it bur-
led in her husbands house of New
burg, in Yorkshire, where the tomb,
an impenetrable marble one, is still
shown. Another corpse was substitute
ed for Crom wells in the abbey, and it
was this nameless corpse which under
went the indignities put upon it in
January, 1861, when the putative body
was hanged on the gallows at Tyburn,
together with Ireton's and Bradshaw's,
while the head was set up on pole
above Westminster hail.
This head. still transfxed by spike
which was let through the Uranium by
means of specially drilled hole, is
now in the possession of Horace Will
k1nson of Sevenoaks. 1t is the head,
curiously enough, Of some one whose
body has probably been embalmed, for
the top of the skull has been sawed off
in order, presumably, to admit Of the
removal of the brains. The body to
which this head belonged was buried
under the gallows of Tyburn, unless,
which is probable, the Fauconbergs
obtained the body there and carried it

OUR BRAINS ARE DOUBLE.
But Only One of Them Is Used tc
Think With.

Man has pair of brains just as he
has pair of eyes and pair of ears,
declares DR.. William Hanna Thomson
in Everybody's. But, asserts Dr..
Thomson, only one of our two brains
Is used to think with He continues:
when we come into this world we
have pair of quite thoughtless brains
and nothing more. 70 become intelli-
gent beings we must acquire a whole
host of mental faculties and endow-
ments, not one of which does a human
being bring with him at birth. No one
was ever born speaking English nor
any other language. No newly born
babe knows anything by sight nor by
any other sense. Every kind of knowl-
edge has to be gained by personal edu-
cation. But only recently have we
found that this education necessitates
the creation of local anatomical
change in brain matter to make it the
special seat for that accomplishment
Thus no one can become skilled vio-
lin player until by long fashioning he
has at last made violin playing place
In his cerebrum.
"But all this brain fashioning takes
so much time and trouble that for
mere economy of labor, as one hemi.
sphere will do all that Is necessary,
the individual spends his efforts on
one of them only. AS both hemi-
spheres are equally good for this pur-
pose, which of the two he will educate
depends on which one he begins with.
This is settled for him when as a
child he begins all his training by the
hand that he then most easily uses;
hence it is that all the speech centers
and all the knowing and educated
places are to be found only in the left
hemisphere of the right handed and in
the right hemisphere of the left hand
