the boss hy' is absent from his
accustomed haunts, and the single
swallow still fingers in the equatorial
zone, instead of trying to bull the sum-
mer market, yet the base ball microbe

fever is now ranging dangerously near
the one hundred mark in the veins of
the youthful camaS eaters Lewiston

and will soon be staggering around
with a chip on one shoulder and a
defiant cast in her of eye, and it is
understood that this tropical city has
fell designs upon the championship
laurels which have heretofore adorned
the noble brows of the spheric artists
of the Prairie country Such being
the condition of things in the inside

cluslon that the erosion of quartz
veins cannot be the sole source of
aurlterous alluvlal strata and, further
more, that the almost constant pres
ence, IN these strata, of heavy basic
rocks, containing diorite, amphibolic
schlst, and diabase, indicates that ma
tive gold is one of the subsidiary in
gradients of those rocks.
According to this new theory,
therefore, certain of the heavy erup-
tive rocks have carried with them in
their eruption some of the gold exist
ing IN the metallic state in the central
nucleus of the earth.
After reaching the surface these
rocks were oxidized by contact with
the air and eroded by water, which
washed away the lighter materials and
left the heavier, including the gold.
This M. Fieux regards as the true
theory of the formation of gold-bear-
ing alluvlal strata in general, the ero-
sion of quartz veins being only an
occasional cause of the enrichment OF
those strata.

In Morningion island, one of the
Wellesley group in the Gulf Of Car

protector of aborignes in Queens
land, has found a tribe which it Is
believed has never before come in
contact with white men. After
searching vainly for two days Mr..
Howard came upon a few natives,
and afterwards a considerable num-
Der were seen. The blacks, he says,
were in their primitive state. They

sugar, although they readily tasted
anything given 10 them. There were
no signs whatever of any disease,
and although emaeiated in appear

CLOCK WITH TWENTY DIALs.

and the date of the month. 1t stands
81 feet high and four of its dials
are each four feet in diameter.
The master clock is inclosed in

IN China by Recent Pathetic
Incident,

a short time ago, in an interior
village in Kiang Su, a woman, am
bilious to become educated, killed
herself after bad treatment from her
husbands relatives. Her farewell
letter was everywhere copied by the
Chinese press. 1t has become a ma
tional document, and almost a char
ter Of the new movement. In it Oc-
cur the following sentences:

my husbands parents, having found
great fault with me for having I'M
bound my feet and declaring that /
have been diffusing such an evil in
1uence as to have injured the repu-
tations Of my ancestors, have deter
mined to put me to death. Main
tang that they viii be severely CEN
sured by their relatives once l enter
a school and receive instruction,
they have been trying hard to de-
prive me of life, in order, as they
say, to stop beforehand all the trou-
bfes that l may cause. AT first they
intended to starye me, but now they
compel me to commit suicide by TAX
ing poison. / do not fear death at
all, but how can l part from my
children who are so young2 Indeed,
there should be no sympathy for me,
but the mere thought of the destruc-
ton of my ideals and of my young

ginning to make its impression upon

REAL BURGLAR PROOF SAFE.

A curious modern invention is to
be seen by a favored few in the
Bank of England. 1t is claimed to
be an absolutely burglar proof safe,
because at night it is lowered into
a sub-vault of heavy masonry and
concrete.
When the safe reaches the bottom
Of the vault, it is fastened down by
massive steel Tugs, operated by a
triple time lock. Until these Tugs
are released automatically at a fixed
time no human agency can raise the
safe. AS for breaking through the
sub-vault and walls of stone and con-
crete ten feet thick, even with dyna-
mite-well, the burglar must shake
his head so~rrowfully and admit that
he has met his Waterloo in that safe.

TO CHANGE UMBRELLA HANDLES

Sometimes a person would like to
change an expensive umbrella handle
TO another umbrella and fasten it on
solid, This can be done by cleaning
out the hole left in the handle from
the old rod and filing the hole with
powdered sulphur.
Place the handle in a solid up
right position, and after heating the
umbrella red hot push the rod down
into the hole containing the sulphur.
The hot rod fuses the sulphur and
when cold it will hold the rod solid.
This method may be applied to fas-
tening rods into stone, iron or wood.
