is stored away carefully before pas
sengers embark. 1t arrives at the
pier in ordinary trucks, under the
guard Of armed men. The customary
method Of getting the gold on board
is to haul the kegs up an inclined
chute to the deck by means of hoist
ing engine, but this method is not fol-
lowed invariably. Sometimes each
keg is placed in sling and carried
on board by men detailed for this
service.
The receipt given by the steamship
company sets forth that so many kegs
have been received for shipment, not
for any stated amount of gold to the
value Of so much. The kegs bear the
government seal in many instances,
and In such cases, when they have
been safely put in the strong room,
the iron doors thereof are sealed with
government wax, the impression be-
ing broken only when the official on
the other side comes to receive the
gold. The kegs are checked thrice
when they are taken from the trucks,
when they reach the gangway and
when they are placed in the strong
room.
Although no armed guard stands by
the strong room, two men watch the
room constantly so long as the ship is
In sight Of land. AS matter of fact
thsre is little danger of any one steal
ing gold in transit on ship. 1t would
be necessary that he should shoulder
a key weighing some two hundred
pounds and vanish with it without be-
ing seen. Masters Of vessels declare
gold is the safest cargo of any to han
die.
The total weight Of one consign-
ment of gold shipped by the British
vessel in question amounted to some
thing like 10000 pounds, or sixteen
tons, and the freight charges amount
ed to $4,000, or, roughly speaking,
one-eighth Of l per cent. Specie thus
shipped is insured at its full value.

SONGS OF NAPLES
Rich Melodies Are Everywhere
in This City.
In the Variety Theater Voices Are
Heard That Would Make the
Owners HeadIiners on the
American Stage.

Naples, ltaiy.-The songs of Naples!
In these perhaps is the real art of the
city concentrated; and these are likely
to prove your most pleasant memory
of the place. You hear the seductive
melodies everywhere-and the voices
that sing them are usually very sweet
If you would have an evening of song
go to La Fenice, a curious small
theatre of varieties" which consists
of a pit, a tier of boxes in the first
balcony, and a single row of seats in
the gallery. The audience is a noisy
one, and the women are beautiful and
gorgeously dressed-perhaps too osten
tatiousto suit the Puritanical taste. The
performers, too, are hardly models
officially speaking, but vocally they
are marvels, and they give you the
best that Naples has to offer in the
way of native songs. A dozen singers
or so, follow each other in succession,
and nearly every one of them of a
quality that would win the title of a
'headliner" in America. And there
are some stunning beauties among
them.
One should not fail, while in Naples,
to visit the National museum; it con
tains one of the finest collections of an
Client bronzes in the world, and some
splendid treasures Of Herculaneum and
Pompeii; and by all means do not fail
to take in Pompeii itself. If the ruins
at Rome are more impressive for their
grandeur, the Pompeiian ruins are
likely to prove more absorbingly hui
man. Here you witness actual evil
dences of human life, and if you are
possessed Of even modicum of i'm
agination the whole thing is capable
more or less of mental reconstruction
And as you look down on the excellent
ly paved narrow streets, impressed I'M
mistakably by ruts of wheels; the mar
row sidewalks, in good condition and
as good as those at Naples; and as
you examine the walls and interiors OF
the houses; and ever so many evi
dences of the pleasure-loving character
of the people, you cannot escape re
fecting upon certain physical sem
blances it has in common with Naples
If you are poet you are likely as not
to write sonnets to the present desc
lation of the city If you are a philoso
pher you will perhaps reflect upon the
futility Of things, the inevitable cycles
of time, the eternal occurrences of his.

RIDDLE'S UNIQUE METHODS

1t is a far cry from prize fighting
to religion. 1T first blush it seems
most sacrilegious to associate the two
subjects. But it has been done sue
cessfully not only in words but in
deeds, and, as results have proven,
it is the basis Of one Of the most re-
markable religious movements this
country has ever seen.
The man back of this novel idea
for furthering the cause of Christian
ity is Anthony ]. Drexel Biddle, mil
lionaire, Of Philadelphia, Pa, who but
few years back became famous as
an amateur boxer and an object of
criticism and source Of disgust to the
ultra-eXclusive set of the Quaker City

Means by Which Ocean Liners
Carry Enormous Sums.
Fifty Millions in kegs-contents Of
Strong Rooms Sealed by Govern

New York.-The natural assumption
would be that in the safeguarding Of
the treasure which the various coun-
tries are constantly sending one an
other by the big ocean liners there
would be required the vigilance Of
many men. This, however, is not gen.
orally the case, since, once the gold Is
stored away in the rooms set apart for
that purpose on the big ships and
the vessel is well out to sea, no arm
ed guards are necessary.
Taking the specific case of one liner
sailing under the British flag, we find
that It has two strong rooms, the
smaller of the two being in close prox-
Unity to the captains Office. This one
compartment has no doubt sheltered
gold enough to pay the cost Of the
liner many times over. The walls,
the roof and the ceiling are lined with
two inch steel plate, and the room
contains nothing in the way Of fixtures
