Journalist. one Of the most fascinat-

declared that man has lost the pow

She wants to revive the age OF
minstrelsy and chivalry, when love
sick poets thought nothing of sacrific-
ing life to their ideal and when
knights fought for their Dulcineas
Without any regard to marriage por-
tions or family expectations.
She says that today love in its
highest sense practically dead !;
that man is little better than a
mere animal; that woman on her
side does little to fan the immortal
flame. but thinks more of her frocks
and her freedom-hence the increase
in divorce and the gradual disgust
of man for the married state.

Discover Rare Metals In Nors Scotia

From volume 10 OF tbe Journal Of the
Mining Society OF Nova Scotia, 1t ap-
pears that Two Name men. c. vey Hol-
man, late State geologist OF Maine, and
DrlOrs W. K,aght, Of Portland, In con-
ducting res arch work on the ores of the
gold bearing rocks OF Nova Scotia, princi-
pally In .he Holman mine at Carbon gold
mines, are credited with several most inn
portant discoveries Of great interest to the
mining and scientific world. Among these
are the first recorded discovery OF
platinum in place in the province, % vel
o. the first reported occurrences Of tel
lurium aud seenium in the gold bearing
ores.
These researches, which are detsiled ct
length in an elaborate and valuable paper,
prepared for the society by DR.. Knight at
the request Of Mr.. Holman, who is the
principal owner Of the Caribou gold dis-
trict, also includee the significant discov-
cry that the circulating mine waters OF
the district carry gold in solution, which
is deposited by precipitation as it comes
in contact with pyritic and other precipi-
tants of gold occurring in the underground
rock formations Of the mines there.
In other words, instead OF the gold
making process having entirely ceased
geological aeons ago, it is still in sctive
progress in these gold fields. This is q
fact that, though often suspected, has
been scientifically demonstrated in but
one or two places in the world.
