VALUABLE STREET DUST
Yield of Bucket of Road Scrapings in v African Gold Coast Town

GTOIu ftdrperS weekly.
 Travellers assure us that at Axim, on the Gold Coast of Africa, gold may be licked up on the streets. One Briton naturally thought of this as a mere figure of speech, but his informant mme- oiately bade a woman servant to go into the main street, gather a bucketful of road scrapings and work 1t for gold dust
 In ten minutes, according to the ac- count, the servant returned with two gal vanized iron buckets, one filled with road scrapings and the other with water. She also brought three or four wooden plat ters varying in size from a large plate to a saucer.
 Removing several handfuls of the road scrapings and placing them in the largest platter, the woman picked out and threw aside the large stones, pebbles and bits of stick and loosened the remainder by sprinklng it with water from the other Lucket. This enabled her to remove fur ther refuse.
 The residuum was put into the next smaller platter and the process repeated until there was 0 quantity of uniform stuff ready for treatment. This she sprinkled freely with water, and by a delft circular movement of the platter brought the small gravel outward where it could be thrust aver the edge.
 When this operation had been repeated three or four times the stuff. which now looked more like mud than anything else. was ready for treatment in smaller platter. Here the same circular move ments resulted in the discarding of fur ther undesirable elements.
 At last. in the smallest platter. the stuff had resolved itself into a small quantity of black sand. This was carefully washed and sifted by the aid of circular movements, and at last a dexterous twist brought the sand into crescent on the platter when there apepared on the out most edge thin gold rim. This was un- mistakably gold. The whole operation had consumed half an hour. and the re- suit was about a shillng's worth of gold dust.

NOTABLE DISCOVERIES BY
 AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS
By CLEMENT J. BARRETT

Rome, August a.-(Special)-An Inter- esting account of the excellent results achieved by the American archaeologists who have been at work for the last II months at sardes, has just reached Rome. The greater part of the Temple of Cy- tele and other interesting remains of the city mentioned by Heradotus have been brought again to light after much difficult and patient labor The marbles of the great Ionic columns and unbroken statu- ary long buried under a crumbled foot iill cf the Timolus range are described as exquSsitely beautiful. The scale of the temple places it in the front rank of size It must have been a wonderful sight when it was in use as a place of worship BOO B. c.
 Several documents have been recovered and inscriptions, still easily read showing that the temple was sacred to Artemis. But none refers to her under the name of -ybele. A stele with a long and perfect Lydian text--in which Artemis appears crowned by the carved head of a lion vas found in situ near ancient build ing found during the preliminary survey. This building Is of Mycenaean construc- tion and Is unquestionably much older than 400 R. C.
 The most important find consists of ten complete almost complete Lydian texts. several of considerable length, and among them bilingual inscription in Lydan and Aramaio. The eight lines of Aramaic, dated in the tenth year of Artaxerxes the king" are in the opinion of Professor, Littmann of Strasburg, un- occasionally a translation of the Lydian language, which, when those excavations began, was known only from few much defaced fragments.

Moments and Children's Work

Methodist mission secretaries are nak- ing public data to show that Methodist churches. in their benevolence. are de- pending on women and children. while the men and the churches have not, in fully thirty years, increased their gifts penny. Indeed, the charge is made that without the support given by women and children Methodist mission. extension, education, Sunday School board. and conference claimant funds would be bankrupt. Methodist collections for benevolences from women and children amount to sl.- s5l.oOO year. while the churches give $1, ,eSS, ,O0O
 On the basis of these figures many Methodists are clamorlng for an increase In the apnortionments, or annual allot- ments of amounts expected. The leaders are replying that such increase means greater demands on the willing people. and that the thing to do is to compel those that do, not nav their apr.ortsor- ments to do so In full. Twelve leading conferences are mentioned that were asked last year for ss2S.so0 and gave only s507, or ssoO.0oO short. A new burden Is rut upon the Methodist mission boards this year through the absorption of the City Union. which has been a Methodist agency for some years that tried to evan gelze cities. It's method has been, not to raise and expend money. but to agi- tate the necessity for relief. Now that

ROCKEFELLER BIDS FOR MISSION SITES Oil King and Father Walsh

New York, August U.-tSpeciai.-J D, Rockefeller and Catholic foreign mis- sons are at law, The Rev. James A Walsh. head of the missions In question, issues a statement covering his side. This Catholic foreign mission work In America Is new, but fig approved by the American archbishops and by the pope. Its extent Ia the onllstins and training of young American priests for foreign fields. moderate sized house has been secured in Hawthorne for the opening Of the semi nary, and newspaper has been started representing the new work. The house IS far too small. and the enterprise, with Cardinal Farley behind 1t, seeks site on which to build seminary halls and dornitorles.
 Father walsh states that one site In the Rocantino Hills, quite near to the Rockefeller estates, was in his mind, and en offer was made for It. A few days later the offer was rejected, and he learned, informally, that MT. Rocke- feler had purchased the property. Another site was found. also near the oil kings domain, price agreed upon, and a contract to pur-' chase entered into, money being paid to make the contract legal. That site. too, was purchased, supposedly by the Rocke- feler agent, and the contract ignored. Cardinal Farley and Catholic lawyers de- clare the contract a good one, 50 Father Walsh says, and even If time Is required and some expense, the foreign mission cause proposes to go to law to inforce It's rights and gain the site. Father Walsh admits the process may prove slow one, and states that the foreign mission semi nary work is much held back and injured by the delay,
 Catholics plan in this seminary novel method in foreign work. So far as known 1t is new. It is the accumulation of Chinese student fund With this fund, as It's size warrants, there are to be brought to America young Chinese Catholic men. to be educated here and sent back to their, homes as missionaries. St. Johns college. Shanghai, and other inst- tutlons in China do this work In part, but this win be the first seminary to bring young men all the way to America for this specific aim.

Lixeliest of Lively Campaigns


 The Rev Bernard Vaughan. the Ensish Catholic priest whose strong language m a sermon in St. Patrick's cathedral New York, attracted wide attention whle on visit to America lately. brought on py far the sliveliest campaign thls suiiiiiei that eastern counties Of Ensiand nave known in generations. Father Naushan got from the Paulists while here some ideas about mission priests gong out 10 preac oh 10 Protestants: and from the Cath- ollie Extension society, Chicago, some ideas of chapel cars. Going to EnSianu he established d house on the lines or the Paulist one at the Catholic uniVersi,y' Washington. and had built a motor chanel. an improvement on the chapel cars of the Chicago society. The auto mobile has all the features of the Catho- lie church.
 Eastern counties of old England. around Norwich and Boston, are Protestant ana especially Nonconformist strongholds. Into them Father Vaughan took hls motor chapel during the past July and Augus. Going from town to town he opened his chapel and set up complete Catholic ser vices, with such sermons as Father Vsughan can preach The Catholic church and her claims were set fortsl in these Protestant villages as they have not been in centuries. The effect was to cause to be formed Protestant speaking bands, composed of some of tho ablest cam paigners. Wherever the motor chapel went the Protestant bands went. Attend ing Father Vaughans lecture first. mem bcrs of the bands set up rival out door meetings, and answered the Catholic ar guments Crowds attended both types of meetings. and an outcome Is thrt there has just closed in Lincoln.
