that that country is on the boom and
that business is good.
H. |. Smith has completed an addi-
ton to the rear of his store building.
1t is 80 feet long and two stories

dious store building.
Brickwork on the Reeder block is
we'll under way and will be complet-
ed as early as it is possible to do so.
We understand that Mr.. Reeder has

Duty Parish, a prominent citizen
Of the Everett neighborhood, died

Gardens In the Ice.

A glacier when it dislodges itself and
sails away over the Arctic ocean never
travels alone. In the wake OF every
large one floats line Of similar COM
panions. The Eskimos call this phe,
nomenon "the duck and duckiings,
and any one who has watched the
progress Of the wild duck followed by
her brood will appreciate the aptitude
of the name. Strange as it may seem
plants grow and blossom upon these
great ice mountains. When a glacier
is at rest moss attaches itself to it
protecting the ice beneath. just as
sawdust does. After time the moss
decays and forms soil. in which the
seeds Of buttercups and dandeilons
brought by the wind. take root anu
flourish. Those who have Travelled
much 10 arctic lands say the poppy
does not bloom during the brief north
ern summer.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY :
eoins Round the World.


In sailing around the world east
ward the days are each little less
than twenty-four hours, according to
the speed OF the ship. as the sun Is
met a little earlier every morning.
These little differences added together
will amount to twenty-four hours.
This gives the sailors IN extra day
not in Imagination, but as an actual
fact. They will have done an extra
days work, eaten an extra days ration
Of food and imbibed an extra days al
lowance of grog.
On the other hand. in sailing west
ward the sun Is overtaken a little each
day. and so each day is rather longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks
and watches are found to be too fast.
This also will amount in sailing around
the world to the point of departure to
one whole day by which the reckoning
has fallen in arrears. The eastern
bound ship. then. has gained day,
and the western bound ship has lost
one. This strange fact, clearly work
ed out, leads to the apparent paradox
that the first named ship has a gain OF
two whole days over the latter. II we
suppose them to have departed from
port and returned together.-Philadel-

Modern Gold Mining.

UP until about 1850 only placer OF
surface gold was mined-that Is, free
gold, deposited in the beds Of streams,
in sands and in the crevices of rocks.
Placer mining, mainly In new and re-
mote regions, still furnishes material
though not large percentage OF the
worlds output. Formerly the alluVial
gold was separated from the sands
and gravels containing II by washing
them in pans, cradles. rockers ana
sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method
was first employed in California BY
this means a giant stream OF water
turned against the side Of mountain
washes everything before 1t. The gold
settles 70 the bottom Of the tunnel OF
sluice through which the gravel, SAND
and water flow. In 1880 dredges or
excavators were first used In Austria
LA. Today steam and electric dredges
produce a considerable portion OF the
worlds output.-Byron ". Holt ID EV'
