Fiction or History,

After all, fiction is not always the

at the time of his extremely bumptu-
GUS youth when he had just returned
from his travels in the east AS a

met Lord Melbourne. who was then
prime minister. at dinner. Lord Mel

Mock suns are similar in point of

region wanes once every twenty -four
hours slight glow is seen at some
point on the horizon Often accompa.

Locating lceberqs,

The captain Of an ocean steamer in
most cases finds out when his vessel
is approaching an iceberg from the
men down in the engine room. That
sounds queer, but it is a fact never
theless. 1t appears that when a
steamship enters water considerably
colder than that through which it has
been going it's propeller runs faster
Such water usually surrounds the vici
mage Of icebergs for many miles
When the propeller's action therefore
is accelerated without the steam pow
er being increased word is passed up
to the officer on the bridge that ice
bergs may be expected. and close
lookout for them is established. There
are natural reasons for the propeller
acting in this way. and sea captains
will assert the same thing.

Old limo Taxation.

During the eleven years from 1895
to 1706 the Englishman over twenty
five who shirked matrimony was call
ed on to pay I shilling annually, with
a further sum, according to rank, of
5 shillings for gentleman and f12
los. for duke, a tax which yielded to
the revenue about f1.OOO week. In
these good old times" the Briton had
to pay tax when he took a wife and
another tax every time he qualified as
father. Thus q dukes nuptials cost
him ESQ 49,, his heir ESQ 2s.. and for
each later male addition to his family
his JOY was discounted by payment
Of f25 Is. The benedict whose income
was less than ESQ year had to pay

Warminq tho Eaus.

There was once an old lady in Scot
land who kept a few hens. AS she
lived close to the house in which a
church minister lived he asked her to
send him two new laid eggs every
morning and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every moning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm, as
if they had just been taken from the
hens nest
But one day the eggs were cold. so
the servant asked: Are the eggs fresh
today. Janey? They do not seem
warm
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said. lou. aye, they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning.

A sixth Sense.

An interesting discussion arose at a
recent college lecture concerning the
"instinct of direction possessed so
marvelously by savage races and by
animals Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case OF
humans it is different. and some of
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to find his way in the
densest forest without taking note of
the sun. the wind. the lay of the land
or the course of the streams. There
fore it was said he must be guided by
a sixth sense because none Of the reg
ular five senses could aid him. Other
pupils. however. argued that the In

The Arts Of Asia.

z It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature. the arts
and the sciences which we have de-

Gunpowder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced
into Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel Of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moor
ish invasion of Spain. and it's manu-
facture was continued at Toledo. The
coppersmiths Of Bagdad supplied the
worlds market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries in Europe. Weav.
ing Of silk and cotton had its birth as
an industry in Arabia. and the .weav-

FIRST PAYMENT IS MADE ON
 CLIMAX
(From Saturdays Daily.l

It is reliably reported from Los Angeles that the first payment was made last week to the Granite Secur- ities company for the Climax mines on the Hassayampa, and on November 1j, the second installment is due when the property will be turned over to the new company. The purchase price is said to run to over $500,000, and is the sequel to an expert exam ination made by Prof. J. $. Templin, who devoted three weeks to the work. MT. Martin, president of the retiring company, states that during the past year the property had yielded 5000 month with a force of only five men employed, and a plant that is inadequate to treat a large tonnage.
 In anticipation of the saie taking place on the 18th of this month, the mill is being run to its full capacity day and night, and with the $33OO bar of gold bullion returned from a ten days run, the final cleanup to be made in few days, it is said, will show over s4OOO more, or a total of over $7OOO in two weeks.
