Phosphorescent Forests.

The phosphorescence of certain
agaries of Borneo has more than once
demoralized the superstitious natives
and astonished whites. Some years
ago party of English engineers
found it necessary to survey a tract
of low lying country which was al
most impenetrable, and to blaze the
trail natives were employed to work
at night, others during the day. The
former came into camp one night
stating that they could not go through
a portion of the bush on forest, strange
spirits" on the trees telling them that
evil would befall them If they con-
tinued. The spirits" proved to be a
magnificent display of phosphores-
cense emanating from agaries grow.

These vegetable fire bodies were
traced for a considerable distance,
producing a most remarkable exhibi
ton, the light in some places BEING SO
brilliant that it was difficult to be
ieve that the forest was not afre. To
test the brilliancy the men held pa
aers near the most brilliant protious

HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only In Proper Employment Can
There Be Found the Real Joy
of Life.

The joy of life is the joy of work
well done. Husbands love their wives,
but, oh, their work! Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother.
hood, for the particular kind of social
helpfulness in which women SO shine,
burn incense of affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight in
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
of their heart as much as their
strength and muscle and activity OK
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
find themselves condemned to 1t.
They sweat and groan and SO add to
their unhappiness. They butt their
heads against stone walls and then
wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach bit. If the work Is
not to ones first liking try to make
1t so. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
in you in the job, and it's dollars to
doughnuts that the job will pay YOU
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. In time genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best of happiness.

vidually with any degree of accuracy Compare
lively few OF the old band of millionaires have
failed to add materially to their fortunes since the
panic. There are some, it is true, who were more
less disabled in those days, and the period that
predeced them who have not succeeded in win
ming back their lost money and prestige; some
who were in the Inflated trust companies others
of the insurance crowd, and so on. But those
who held and able to weather the storms
have been lifted up and now richer than
Not only that but large number Of new groups
of great financial strength has been developed
There is the Hawey group for instance, which
has made millions and millions In the rise in val
ues of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head
of this coterie, not big Wall street figure
until within the last year so, but of late he has
added UNNECESSARILY to his wealth and to his pow
er as a transportation king.
Among those of his friends who have climbed
into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. Van
derlip, the president of the National City bank.
He is reputed to have made more than million
out of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific.
When he assistant secretary of the treasury
a few years ago Vanderbilt was man of very
moderate means and lived in modest little fiat
in Washington. After he came to New York his
wealth increased somewhat but only since the
first of this year has he entered the millionaire
class.
Another of the Hawley group who is one of the
new crop of multi-milonaires is a banker named
Scott, who piled up small fortune dollar by dol
lar, in Richmond, Va, and who has increased it
many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of
the same group is Robert Fleming. He was not
poor man when the rise in stocks began. but he is
said to be very rich one now. Then there is
crop of Union Pacific millionares Southern
Pacific mllionaires, Wabash Rock Island and
many other groups of new millionaires who have
become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the
shares they were Interested in. Some of these
men millionaires before the beginning of this
year; these have now moved up to the multi
millionaire class.
There quite many who have won for
tunes in the field of Industrial stocks especially in
United States Steel common. One of these-more
than millionaire when he began buying Steel
is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher He is said to
have started his Steel purchases two years ago.

THE man whose business it is to
sell that machine knows his business
and knows it well. The combination
of girl and machine is a pleasing one
and the impression is lasting.

so the published records OF these

Thousands of people who not spectators
and who are intolerant Of speculation have profit
ed enormously by this wonderful rise in prices.
They are the ones who bought for investment
when the prices were low and who are now reap

blocks of gltedge shares were thrown on the
markets when great spectators like Heinze and

scattered throughout the country and have been
tucked away IN tens of thousands of safes and

another harvest that has
been growing and ripening all unno-

by everybody else, and that is the
bumper crop of new millionaires and
multi-millionaires Never before were
there so many in New York as there
are to-day. Millionaires were made in
night by the great wave of CONSOLE

of industrial enterprises that was the
feature of the opening years of the
twentieth century, just after the close
of the Spanish-American war. There

broke all barriers and created new
iaristocracy of wealth in America.
New York was invaded by horde of
westerners whose manners in some
cases shocked even the imperturbable
servitors at the expensive hotels
where they monopolized the royal
suites. Pittsburg, from being simply
a great mill town, a city of grimy
workmen, jumped into worldwide
prominence because 1t was discovered
suddenly that 1t had more millionaires
to the square inch than any other
spot on earth. In New York all sorts
of people achieved fortunes, paper or
actual, almost before they were
aware; jockeys, walters, bartenders
and other humble folk glanced with
amaze at the balances with their
brokers and began making plans for
yachts and country houses. The his
