THE MUSIC Halter.
And the Great Things That He Misses
in His Hatred.

What puzzle music must be to those
unfortunate people, stricken with spirit
ual cecity, TO whom the art is no more
than so much sound and fury, signfying
nothing. They know that to others it
constitutes a whole world of experience,
yet are themselves excluded from that
world by an insuperable barrier. They
must take 1t on faith, as the color-bind
must take the rainbow and the sunset.
Ii they are honest with themselves,
they will admit and lament this defect
of sense, accepting the unavoidable.

PHoSPHATEs IN THE PACIFIC.
The Richest Beds Ever Found Among
the Islands Now Being Worked

II was thought a few years ago that
all the phosphate and guano beds of
the Pacific islands after yielding millions
of dollars worth of fertilizers were at
length exhausted This view has been
changed by new discoveries.
The largest phosphate industry that
the Pacific ever saw is now in progress
on two neighboring islands. the German
island of Nauru, the most southern
atoA of the Marshall group, and the
British island of Banaba. Hundreds OF
ISLANDERS as well as Chinese and Japa-
nese laborers are working in these phos.
phate diggings, and though the industry
Is still very young ii is yielding over
1000 tons of prepared phosphates 4
year. The yield is increasing as fast as
improvements are made in mining th,
rock and in facilities for shipping il.
The beds in these two islands seem IL
be similar in the quality of the rock. and
though their thickness has not yet been
ascertained the quantity of phosphates
Is enormous. Numerous borings have
been made all over Nauru, which com
prises about 5000 acres. These borings
were not meant to ascertain the total
phosphate content, but merely to deter.
mine if there was enough of the rock
to pay for the erection of expensive
works.
They were sunk. therefore, only to a
depth of ten to fifteen feet. The Ger
mans report that under the superficial
earth the entire 5000 acres are covered
with phosphate beds to a depth of at
least ten or fifteen feet, and they do
not know how much deeper the beds
may 90, for they have not explored
lower levels.
They add that it will take some gen
erations to remove the phosphates al
ready revealed. The two companies,
German and British, that secured con-
cessions to mine the rock. have joined
their interests and are working together.
The outside public has nothing to do
with their enterprise except TO buy the
product
When the German flag was raised
over Nauru, twenty-five years ago. the
1900 natives had no relations with the
whites except to sell their coc9anuts for
brandy and wretched firearms supplied
BY two or three INSCRIPTIONS traders.
The Germans stopped this trade. but it
was long before the real wealth Of the
little island was discovered.
Now a great transformation has come.
Large steel framed buildings IN which
the rock is prepared for commerce have
been erected. an iron pier has been cX-
tnded ont into the sea beyond the
breakers. and lines Of steel tracks lead
down from the mines TO the pier. But
the rock is as yet taken out to the an
cliored steamships in small boats aud
the Germans have little hope Of discard.

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAVORS new THEORY
E. II. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts,
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One Of the most Interesting state
nlents made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, Is made by q. II. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this TO say in con.
nection with Cooper and his medi.
cines: Some time ago read an ar.
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most III health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom.
ach In sound condition, 1t wonld. in
many cases. remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause Of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
Il am now fully convinced that this
theory Is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
