Rigid Rules Against Bringing Food
Into Big Apartment Hotels.

II you live by the year in one Of
these fashionable apartment hotels
that run a restaurant in connection
with the rooms, you cannot take food
into your quarters on peril Of your
life, says the New York Telegraph.
There is a big uptown hotel, of the
best class, whose leases provide that
room leasers must eat in the restau-
rant. Many Of them disregard this
clause in their leases, and some OF
them openly took food into their apart
ments. This has been stopped by the
manager, who has ordered that all
baskets of provisions brought to the
hostelry shall be turned back.
A lawyer told me that the hotel man
was counting trouble-that a tenant in
a hotel had a right to take anything
in his room he pleased, so that he com
piled with the provision in his lease
that he shall do no cooking in his
apartment. Just the other day a man
was caught bringing bottle of milk
into the front door, and was requested

MADE LUCKY STRIKE

BY TWO MEN.

gets Found on Surface.

In the history of gold digging and
gold finding many a romaltic and
tragic story is to be found. Few of
these stories, however. possess more
interest than that of how the famous
Coolgardie mines, in western Aus
tralia, were discovered in 1892
mines which have since yielded nil
lions of pounds worth Of gold. Luck
played a great rart in the discovery,
but it was the reward Of perseverance.
In April, 1892, two Victorian miners
named Bayley and Ford struck out for
the northeast of Australia, but after
traversng $50 miles they lost their
horses and had to turn back. Equipped
with fresh horses, they started again
on what proved to be a long, tedious
and futile journey, for once more they
were forced to turn back-this time
for want of water. The third attempt
won them fame and fortune.
First they found that which to them
was more precious than gold-namely,
water. They found a natural we'll
known to the scattered tribes of that
far away country as "Coolgardie.
Pitching thei" camp beside the well
they turned their horses out to feed
and started prospecting the country
around. Ford pct up a half ounce
nugget and before night they had gath
cred in over 20 ounces of gold Two
or three weeks more surface prospect
ing was rewarded with over 200
ounces. BY this time food supplies
had given out, so, keeping their own
counsel concerning their discoveries.
they returned TO civilization, laid in
a fresh stock of provisions and
hastened back to their El Dorado.
Within a few days of their return
they happened upon the reef that
made Coolgardie. Beginning with a
Slug" weighing 80 ounces, they
picked out from cap of that reef in
a few hours upward of 500 ounces of
gold, Bayley, carrying 554 ounces of
gold, journeyed back TO the nearest
mining town, exhibited his find to the
mining warden, put in a claim for a
lease of the land on which this mar
velous discovery had been made and
hurried of to the field again with a
party that numbered $50 men, besides
coaches and horses and all the para
phernalia of prospecting and camping
In their wake In course of time came
gold seekers in hundreds and thou.

there was taken in the first nine years

the outcrop of a reef was exposed,
from which in the course of a few
days they took out from 1000 to 5000
ounces Of gold. From the cap OF the

value of 100000 was secured in a
few days.

FIERCE Dutts & AN ISLAND.
Thirty Thousand Sheep and Goats
Fight Daily on San Clements.

Mile after mile of sheep ready for
shearing not to mention mile after
mile of goats for butting. was the
sight that greeted Superintendent zim
mer of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals, when he visit
ed San Clemente, from which island he
returned recently, says the Los An
geles Times. Next month the sheep
and the goats will be separated; not
in the old Biblical way. but In mod
ern style and after an exciting
roundup.
San Clemente island is 2S miles long.
and to Mr.. thinner 1t seemed as If he
saw 2S miles of sheep. He was not
there on business, but as the guest of
the owners of the island, Robert and
Charles Rowland and Mrs. Rowland.
Where he couldn't see sheep he spied
goats. There are nearly $4,000 of
the former and 1000 of the latter.
The goats are an unmitigated nui-
sance, because they kill so many
sheep. and are being hunted.
II takes long time to round up the
bhOSps NIL HilulnSI says luty bttuu W
know when the attempt is to be made.
Just now II is easy to get near them,
but as soon as they see number
of horseback riders and other indica-
tions that they are about to lose their
wool, the. get down into the gullies
and hide, and II takes strenuous efforts
to corral them.
Far wilder than the sheep are the
goats. They stay In the canyons and
usually won't mix with the former,
but when the fancy seizes them they
charge down on the focks and butt
the lambs to death.
In formation the island is very like
the rolling country around San Pedro.
1t is believed to have been the burial
ground Of giant Indians who inhabit-
ed this coast in the early times. Mr..
thinner says that from a place 500
or 900 feet square a number of skulls
of the original native sons have been
taken. The indications are that the
giants were buried in rows.

Keeps Tab on the Trollevs.

An instrument has been devised for
making complete tests of street cars
while in operation. It consists of a
table over which roll of paper is fed
slowly. above which are arms carrying
small recording instruments. Each of
these instruments is connected with
clockwork mechanism which causes
1t to register on the moving paper be-
low every five seconds. Each instru-
ment registers a special value--such
as the amperes and volts used on
each car motor, or the speed OF the
car or Its location on the line, etc, so
that for every trip OF the car over the
road this device furnishes a graphical
record far more accurate than could
be made by any number of observers.
