be maintained Four sections of the
overhead Whitley tables are now in
operation and the fifth will go in
commission very shortly. The first
of four foot Garfield Chilean mills
which are being installed was started
Friday and the second will probably
be I'm motion today. These -four new
mills are located for the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth sections. They
are to regrind the midlings from the
overhead Whitley floor and from the
manner in which the first of the new
mills has started on its work Ii is
indicated that they will prove highly
successful. Their operation gives
demonstration of the increased ca
pacity given the mill by the installa-
ton of the second Wiley floor and
also tells why the larger output of
ore from the mines is needed.

gineer Mr.. Barker resigns to en-
gage i'm contract work along erection
lines, with which he has had wide

fact that will be learned with a great
deal OF pleasure by the many who es-
TEEN his high ability and agreeable
personality.
While Mr.. Barker declined to make
statement yesterday. the fact that he
will remain here leads 10 the opin-
ion that he will probably endeavor to
secure the machinery erection con

these have had representatives here

day.
The fourth unit is rapidly coming

Is believed that the letting of con-

To Bring

Horace G. Knowles, recently
United States Minister to Rumania,
Servia and Bulgaria, is leading a
movement to reintroduce sturgeon
into the rivers Of the Atlantic Coast.
He obtained the consent of the Ru-
manian Government to the shipment
of a carload of fry of the Black Sea
sturgeon, the best in the world, to
the United States. The United States
Fish Commissioner has told Mr..
Knowles that he believes the aban-
doned sturgeon fisheries can be re.
vived. The Black Sea sturgeon grow
to enormous. size. In the old days.
before the sturgeon were routed, a
6OO-pound sturgeon in the Delaware
River was a monster. In the Danube
700 and 800-pound fish arc the aver
age. These yield between 200 and
800 pounds of caviar each. Some OF
the Danube sturgeon weigh 1000
pounds.-Argonaut.

Hens That Think.

If the average man were asked II
hens had any memory he would prob
ably say NO." but he would be wrong,
according to the experiments of two
German scientists. The plan they
adopted was to gum twenty grains Of
rice on a piece of cardboard and be-
tween them to place ten grains Of
loose corn. At first the hens, of
course, pecked at both rice and corn,
but soon they learned to leave the
rice alone, thus very clearly showing
that they remembered that the rice
was stuck down.
A very remarkable thing about the
experiment was that the longer the
time between the trials the better was
the hens memory. When the expert
ments were made c~onsecutively it
took them six times to learn that the
rice was not worth touching, but
when the experiments were made at
intervals of IN hour they learned the
lesson at the third try, thus showing
not only that they had memories,
but that they thought the matter yer
in the intervals.-Chicago Journal

Profitable Protective Forests.

From her State forests France de-
rives an annual income of approx
mately $4,000 900, or SITS an acre.
Approximately 100000 acres are
managed by the State, the annual
cost of management being ninety-fve
cents an acre. The great achievement
of France in forestry has been the
establishment of protective forests
where much destruction has been
caused by floods. Toward the close
Of the eighteenth century about g.
100000 acres comprised in the de-
partment of the landes were little
more than shifting sand dunes and
disease-breeding marshes. This sec
ton Is o n of the richest, most
productive and healthful in France.
This change has been brought about
by the Intelligent cultivation Of pine
forests. Immense forests now cover
the country, the sand dunes and
marshes have long since disappeared.
and the wood, charcoal, %turpentine,
resin and kindred industries have
brought prosperity to the department,
which vas formerly the most barren
and miasmatic in France. The eli
mate is now mild and balmy, the
great change being wrought by the
forests.-Science.

Mexico's Troubles.

"There is more trouble brewing IN
Mexico than appears on the surface
and in the press dispatches, declared
Colonel Nelson Graham, Of Dallas,
Tex, at the New Willard.
II have been in Northern Mexico
several times during the last year,
and there is a great deal of unrest
and turbulence in that section of the
Republic-more than ever gets into
the papers. President Diaz has ruled
for so long that people are saying,
and have said for a long time, espe-
cially in the northern part OF the
country, that it is time for him to step
aside for a younger man. Then there
are a great many disappointed office
seekers in the country who would
gladly welcome a revolution, with the
hope that the turn of the wheel would
give them good, fat jobs. Others
hate Diaz for penalties he has in
ficted on their friend, and there are
several thousand malcontents along
the Mexican border on the Texas line,
who dare not return to Mexico for
fear they will be imprisoned or exc
cuted. These people, especially, are
ready for any desperate revolutionary
venture to overthrow the Diaz admin
istration. "-Washington Post.

A Long Walk.

He entered a Columbus a at the
City Hall, and, not finding a seat,
grasped a strap near the door. He
was an East Side New Yorker such
as is met with on Houston street OF
Grand street. His shoulders were
broad and set square on a broad
back.
A block further along Broadway
the car stopped to take on another
passenger.
Move forward" yelled the con
ductor.
And he of the East Side obediently
moved forward.
At the next corner there were more
passengers to board the car, and
again came the demand: Move for
ward"
This command issued so often that
after a time, by moving forward the
space of one strap at a time, the
East Slider found himself at the front
door of the ar. The car was then
at Fourteenth street.
Some one there boarded the car at
the front door and the conductor
walked thither. At that time he
spied the East Slider.
Say, I didn't collect your fare fol-
this ride, did II" he asked.
AN you amt goin' to-" exclaimed
the man. Dye call that a ride?
Why, I walked all the way from the
City Hall to here!"-New York

Then she noticed his look of deep dis

and papa and the boys play checkers

, The RIGHT GOODS IN The g
WRONG PLACE. 9

One grocery salesman, travelling
out of Chicago, has for years made a
speciality Of picking up. "the right
goods in the wrong place" Towns
have their own trade peculiarities,
and goods which sell readily in one
place may prove to be dead stock in a
town twenty miles distant.
Cigars afford a good example of
this popularity. The merchant buys
a certain brand Of cigars because he
likes it, perhaps, or because it con-
tains superior stock for the price and
he thinks he can make Leader" Of
it. The stock is good, but it does not
hit the taste of the town and it will
not sell. The alert commercial trav-
eler who has an eye for bargains on
the shelves of his customers, buys the
entire stock at a "knockdown price"
say twenty-five per cent. of what
the merchant paid. He then takes it
to another town, where the public
taste is different, and sells it for a lit
tie under the regular price.
Perhaps groceries and drugs offer
the best opportunities to the shrewd
travelling man for this traffic in dead
stocks" but there is scarcely a line Of
trade which is devoid of these chances
for the turning Of an honest penny.
One salesman, travelling out Of Chi
cago, received a regular salary Of
$500 a year, but made double that
amount in the rehandling of misft
goods. He is now worth $4,000.
Instead Of buying from a merchant
only his stock of a certain brand of
cigars or canned goods, the trading
commercial traveller often buys the
entire store and puts 1t in charge of
some energetic and capable clerk
whose abilities have attracted his no.
tice. There are hundreds of instances
in which this has cen done with
great success, the "silent partner"
still continuing to follow the road"
and pick up goods adapted to his own
trade from the dead stock Of the mer-,
chants whom he visits in the, capacity
of commercial traveller. - Forrest
Crissey, in Everybody's.

Verrazano and the Hudson.

1t is quite true that Verrazano saw
the Hudson before Henry Hudson did,
but he discovered" it in about the
same way that the Mortimer discov-|

whatever, says one of the most level
headed of our American historians,
about the fact that. in 1524-eighty-|
five years before the coming of the
Half Moon-Verrazano sailed through
the "Narrows" into the waters of the!
Grand River" but 1t was Hudson|
who really gave the river to the|
world.
