Harps of old sim Sound.

Surely a poet should be found some
where, to sing with fitting sentiment
the story of how archaeologists in
Egypt lately have come upon ancient
harps, three thousand years old, the
strings of which are still intact and
give forth musical sounds after thirty
centuries of silence.
The poet aforementioned should
devote several lines to saying, poeti-
cally, that though we of today have
seen sights the ancient peoples saw.
though we have read their books,
viewed their embalmed remains,
thought their thoughts and retrod
their pathways, never before have our
modern ears listened to their musical
sounds. Ancient music is almost a
sealed mystery to us, even though a
few written phrases have remained to
be initiated on our instruments. But
would 1t not give us a strange sense
of nearness to them, of oneness with
them, to hear with our ears the same
note that once calmed the rage OF a
Rameses!

GOLDEN MILE OF KALGooRLIE
Stretch Of Territory Has Features
That Are Probably Unique in
Worlds History.

Kalgoorlie and Boulder considerable
cities which adjoin near where Pat
Hannah scratched out his nuggets in
the early days, are noisy with life and
ambition; and as long as the Golden
Mile flourishes to sustain them they
will continue to thrive and aspire in
spite OF the immensity and horrible
character of the desert land which
isloates them from rivers and fertile
places and the bounty of a kindly soil.
They run with the times they pro-
vide themselves with comforts; they
amuse themselves; they are adorned;
they regard their duty to the state and
consider the future of their children's
children. Inc Golden Mile lies with
n sight of Hannah's old chum-the
smoke and dust and black superstruc-
lures Of a thin line of deep and vastly
rich mines. One of the group-not the
pride of them all-must produce 5000
day to keep the stockholders in
good humor with it's behavior; and the
affection of the directors would be
largely increased-it was estimated
If a responsive good conduct should
increase even this gratifying yield to
e 900 day. Roughly speaking, the
Golden Mile and it's lesser neighbors
of Kalgoorlie-the big shows, as dis
tinguished from the individual enter
prises scattered broadcast over the
country, which are called little shows
employ 5000 men and produce s3,-
100000 a year; and the whole field in
which the Golden Mile is situated has
from the first days of the Kalgoorlie
rush, 20 years ago, produced almost
e 56,000,000, which, stated more i'm
pressively in dollars, amounts to $780,
100000. 1t was pointed out by fu-
rious young member of the labor party
of West Australia that the wealth
taken from these few miles of wilder
ness which once were public domain
equaled nearly 5000 per capita of the
maximum population of the dis
trict.
And consequently
who gets it all?" demanded my
informant.

WATER TO DRINK !

A simple, direct description Of meth
DDS of purifying water for drinking is
given in a report by George A. john
son, just published by the United
States Geological Survey The report
describes the yarions types Of water
supply systems used by cities in the
United States, sets forth the principal
advantages and disadvantages of each,
ard gives brief history of the devel-
opment of waterworks systems and
the effect of their installation on the
health of communities.
The necessity for purifying water
for use in cities is clearly shown, not
the least important value of water
publication being the insurance II
provides against disease. Mr.. Johnson
shows by very reasonable estimates
that the use of pure water annually
saves from the ravages of water
borne typhoid fever alone more than
four times the cost of purifying the
water. The substitution of pure for
impure water supplies in the United
States would save annually some e.
900 lives and fully $2OO.O00,000.
