before that hour Frank Fencl, master at
arms, third class, had found Dearwester

had brought him on deck in the fresh
air, after which he Fencl went below
again to get Dearwester a drink of water.
When he returned Dearwester was not in
sight and Fencl discovered that he was

save himself. and instead. threw the bow
line away. Two cork buoys also were
thrown to Dearwester. both of which
were very near him, and the FRANKLIN
life-buoy was let go also, the latter at
some little distance.
.Dearwester made no attempt to get to
any OF the buoys. and my own impression
in watching him was that he had lost

Cook fish by M. Soyer's paper bag
method for several reasons. The first
but not the best OF them is to save
smells. Experience has shown that
the smell, though not absolutely pre-
vented is so minimized as to be In
offensive.
The second reason Is, the saving Of
time and trouble. There Ii absolute
ly no danger of scorching-all the
watching necessary is look In to see
when the bag Is brown enough to
have the heat lessened. 1t takes from
three to ten minutes-depending
something on the weather, something
on the fuel--especially :! it is gas
and something on the CRATES or jets
in which the burning goes forward.
When the baS-corners turn dead

by turning out flame. pushing in dam
pers, or setting the oven door atar.
1t is this lowered heat that prevents
the possibility of scorching--a pre-
vention which anybody who has ever
cooked will appreciate.

LESS GOLD is MINED


On the other hand. Australia showed
a continuance of the decline which
has been persistent since 1908, the
loss In 1911 being about s4,00O.0O0
The production Of North America was
about the same as In 1910.

sions produced nearly $4O0, zoo, 900 and

cling countries probably about Offset

from ss9.210.100 in 1903 to So. OOO.-

Although gold production continues
to increase the increase was at q
diminishing rate and the director ex-
presses the opinion that there is moth
ing in the present outlook to indicate
a repetition OF the phenomenal gains
that were made between 1890 and 1899
and between 1901 and 1908. They were
the result of the discovery OF the cya-
hide process and of the development
of the wonderful Transvaal field. The
only country in the world that Is
showing notable gains at this time is
Africa. and the Transvaal field is near
ing its maximum.

She sat moment in silence. Then,
with burst Of tears, she fell upon
her sisters neck.
AS a matter Of fact the body that
lies out in the Harding lot at Mount
Carmel cemetery is not that of Mrs.
Mclean, but of some other woman
who much resembles her. The woman
was struck by street car at Fifty

minutes. Before she expired she
whispered to the policeman who
picked her up that her name was
Katie Mclean. The police learned
that Patrolman Harding of their sta
ton had sister-in-law named Katie
Mclean and by some process Of rea-
soning arrived at the conclusion that
she was the woman killed.
Mrs. Harding was notified Of the
death and went to an undertaking es-

vised her for her own peace of mind
not to look at the dead woman's face.
because It had been mutilated. She
went away, therefore, without even
lifting the sheet under which the
body lay, and began the preparations
for the funeral. In due course the
funeral was held and the body buried.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mclean, who is en-
ployed at hotel, kept on with her
work. Knowing nothing OF the funeral
she knew of no urgent reason for 60
ing to see her sister. The other day,
however, surprised at her sisters long
silence, she went out to visit her.

inter the body about which centered

SAY BACON WROTE THE BIBLE
English 5aeonlans Declare He Did
Work for King James-Was
Completed In 1910.

New York.-The latest sensation in
literary circles here and in London is
the claim which has been suddenly
brought forward by English Baconians
that Bacon rewrote the Bible as It
was translated for King James and
that the King James version, as that
term is now understood, is really the
work Of Bacon. According to T. w.
Smedley of the Bacon society the final
revision Of the authorized version
was handed to King James In 1909
and returned by him completed in
1910.
