To count this, as we have
shown, would require 1O2 years.
So Morgan has literally more dol
lars than he can count.
But suppose we consider his
wealth in terms of income in
stead of principal. Poor people
count principal, but the rich are.
always considering wealth mere.
ly in terms of income. The in
come from a billion dollars at s.
per cent is $5OOOOOOO a year,
This would amount to approx
mately $4,000 a day or about
$5,725 per hour, waking or sleep
ing, or $95.42 a minute, or $1.59
every time the clock ticks, morn
ing, noon and night.
Here's another way. Let us
consider how many families Nor
gan could support. Suppose, to.
begin with, we take families liv-
ing at the rate of $1,000 a year..
which would give family of five
a decent house, clothes and edu-
cation.
With his income of fifty mil,
lions, it is easy to see that Nor,
gan could furnish support for.
$4,000 families. This would be
quite fair-sized city. It would
be city of $4,000 people. Sup,
pose Morgan devoted his princi-,
pal to supporting, families at ST.
900 a year, he could support foro
a year 100000 families, or a popuS
1ation of 100000 persons.

take him at that rate to count a
million dollars? Thirty-one days.
"But that is only the begin
ming of the measurement of great
figures, for if this same man were
to go on counting silver dollars
at the same rate of speed for 10
wears he would find that he had
only counted 100000 of them,
and that to count a billion dollars
would require 102 years of steady
work at the rate Of eight hours
per day during every working day
of the 1O2 years.
THAT is the meaning of a bill
lion in terms of counting Silver
dollars"
Dye get that?
But the aggregate. amount of
money controlled by Mr.. Morgan
in his 1874 corporations is not one
billion, but twenty-five billion.
So we will have to multiply Aus
tins term of years by Is. So if
Morgan began to count the
money which he controls and
could have a lease of life granted
him for the purpose he would
work on his job ESQ years.
But suppose it is considered
not in terms of money controlled
by Morgan, but in money actu-
ally his-the amount at which he
could cash in" if he desired to
convert his holdings into money. !
On the basis of the. committees !
findings it is conservatively esti- !
mated that Morgan is worth
lillion dollars.

SEPARATE COATS OF PLAID
In Combination With Skirt of White
Muslin or Other Material They
Are Always Effective.

If one does not care to adopt coat
suit of plaid for any occasion one may
like to take up the idea of wearing a
short plaid coat with skirt of white
muslin or crepe of wolfe or satin. The
latter combination is quite effective
for any afternoon occasion, especially
in the open, and the adding OF plaid
silk or wolfe in any way to white
crepe gown is a fashion that grows in
power as people see how attractive
il is.
There is no doubt that the public
in general has accepted the coat of a
different color from the skirt and as
they have gone through the various
paths of fashion that led to black, red,
purple and green coats with white
skirts it is only tiny step further to
ask them to wear Scotch plaid coats.
After all the coat of today is such
diminutive affair, which ends The mo-
ment it begins, that the dash of color
is not inartistic. These negilge coats
have a great deal of charm about
them, especially in summer, and if a
woman will try the fashion first in
cotton and wear it over soft draped
white skirt she can then find out
without spending too much money
whether or not she looks well in the
combination.

BROKE HIS OWN STAGE RULE
Heiry lrvins's Little Pleasantly That
Spoiled Effective Death Scene
in "Othelio."

The note about actors who try TO
queer" other actors on the stage,
writes a cores pendent, reminds me
of a story of the only time when Hen
ry Irving was guilty of such thing.
He was acting Othello, to the BESIDE
mona of the late Miss Bateman and
every Saturday night the perform
ance was followed by very pleasant
little supper party Desdemona was
strangled on a bed at the back of the
stage, and part of Irving's business
was to leave the bed, and then, going
back 10 it, draw the curtains slightly
aside and peep in at the body, after
wards turning a face of inexpressible
anguish toward the audience. His
face, his shudder and the deep-drawn
sigh which he gave were among the
most impressive parts of one of his
greatest creations. AS rule he stern
ly suppressed any levity on the stage
but one Saturday night, as he drew
back the curtain, he said, in a sep
ulchral whisper, What have We for
supper, Desdemona?" Alas! Miss
Bateman was unequal to the strain
and merry laugh from the dead rang
through the house. Never again, |
believe, did Irving break his own rule
of seriousness on the stage. 1t was
told me (adds our correspondent by
my father, who was AT the supper par
ty on the night it occurred.

Hugo Munsterberg Gives a Simple
Way TO Conduct Really Interest
ing Experiment.

Have your friends the ability to
hold their attention, or does it become
quickly fatigued? A simple expert
ment win show you, writes Hugo
Munsterberg in the Youths Compan-
ion. Give each person a column from
a newspaper, and have each one cross
out with pencil every letter A and
every letter r. Keep an eye on your
watch. and when half a minute has
passed, say Now" as signal for
each experimenter to make mark at
the word that he has just reached.
Keep this up for five minutes, and
then count how many AS and how
many RS each one marked in the first
haif-minute, how many in the fifth,
and how many in the tenth, and see
how many each person overlooked in
each half-minute.
Some persons will do well at the be-
aiming, but will soon become inatten-
tive. In the last four half-minutes
they will mark few letters, and over
look many Others will do better in
the second and third half-minute than
in the first, and their attention will be
sharper at the end than at the begin

METALS DEARER THAN GOLD
Iridium, for Instance, is Three Times
as Expensive-Osmium is Dearer
and Heavier.

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness, but, as mat
ter of fact, there are more metals
dearer than gold than there are cheap
Ell. The number of known metals is
about seventy.
Iridium, for instance, of which big
find was made the other day i'll Aus
tria, is three times as expensive as
gold. Gold is worth nearly $50 an
ounce. Iridium is worth some SCI,
though the price will probably come
down now.
Osmium is another metal much
dearer than gold. 1t costs about $50 an
ounce 1t is by far the heaviest of all
known substances, being more than %
times as heavy as water. If pennies
were made of osmium it would tax
ones strength to carry the change of
half a dollar. This metal has the pc
culiar property of being able to stand
without melting the most intense heat
known.
Palladium, about $40 an ounce, is
jus. the reverse. 1t is quite easy to
make palladium vanish in steam. Be-
ing of white, silvery color, and I'M
Punishable, it is used for the division
marks on scales and delicate scientific

GIVE DAlNTlNESS AND CHARM
Attractive Methods of Dressing the
Neck Are the Most Effective of
Many Seasons.

Very few of the new gowns have
high collars, and aside from the suit
ability of this fashion to warm wealth
er the ways in which it is presented
are decidedly attractive. Never has
there been a more charming fashion
than that of soft folds OF net, tulle or
lace to outline the neck. These are
drawn surplice-like across the bust
above a filmy vest, which is usually
employed to fill in a gown above the
girdle
There are many waist models that
have fichu of white cotton net
drawn about the shoulders and half
way down the front of the waist,
where it meets a cross line of cord
ing which tops a waistcoat of net
mounted ON white china silk Lace
is not used at all in these models. so
that tiny net frillings edge the drap-
cry about the throat.
Another new touch is frilling made
of crisp white crepe. This may be
bought by the yard and may either
be used as a fat border for net or
chiffon trimming, or set SO that it
stands up from the edge IF the neck,
which opens Medici fashion. Mannish
little waistcoats of net or mousseline
are trimmed with prim rows of but
tons down the middle and sometimes
accompanied by little vest pocket.

OF DRAGON FLIES
queer Sight Witnessed by French
Naturalist While Making Tour
Through Morbihan.

A professor OF zoology at Lille, NJ.
Charles Barrios, was making a tour
through Morbihan, in France AS he
was walking along the road he noticed
that multitude of dragon flies were
alighting on the telegraph wires. The
singular thing about it was that they
all rested at an equal distance from
each other, and all occupied the same
position, with head turned toward the
west.
From all sides the dragon flies ar
rived and always placed themselves
In the same position, and at the same
distance from each other. They re-

few over the fixed bodies of the
others and took its place in the line.
This chain stretched itself out to-
ward the west, and turned toward the
setting sun. Professor Barrios fol
lowed the route for a long distance
and found the same strange phe-
nomenon. He estimated the number
at 6e,e0o, 81 least. At an abrupt turn
of the road to the south, the telegraph
line turned also. There not a dragon
fly was in sight! The wire was abso-
lutely free from them! With the
change of direction it seemed to have
lost attraction for them.
Was this chance? Did the electric
currents running from the east to the
west exercise any influence upon
these insects? Was it the solar re-
fection? Explain it, who can. In
any case it would be interesting to
know whether this phenomenon be an
isolated one or not

An apparently empty bottle may be

we take an ordinary bottle and see

Then, placing our mouth to this, we
blow steadily and continuously into

The result is that the air in the bot

mouth away we insure that no air
shall escape by instantly closing the
whole aperture with the ball of the

at its Best.


The first step in polishing soft
wood floor is to see that it is perfect
iy smooth and clean. 1t 1t has been
already painted or vanished the
stains should be removed with strong
ammonia and thorough scraping,
when all cracks and dents should be
closed with putty and filler" applied
all over. This tan be purchased at
most oih2nd varnish shops, and should
either be mixed with a little color or
a sufficient quantity of floor stain
should be added The filler should be
put on with fat brush or piece of
cloth and worked in one direction
with the grain of the wood, while on
completion of the process the room
should be Closed for "a hours. At the
end of that time the boards should be
rubbed until they shine, with 4 long
handled, heavy weighted broom. over
which a piece of carpet has been
tackled, and this process may be re-
peated sd libitum Finally the floor
may be polished with boiled linseed
oil and turpentine, this mixture being
rubbed well in with a cloth and then
left TO: an hour or two to dry. after
which it must be again polished with
the weighted brush.
Instead Of a final touch OF this de-
scription, the floor may be finished
with coat of varnish or shellac or
with some prepared hardwood treat
ment. both of which should be put on
evenly and thinly with a weighted
brush or with an old piece of carpet.
In order TO keep the floor at its
best after the polishing process has
been completed, it should never be
washed with water. but after all the
dust has been removed crude petro-
leum should be rubbed in and left to
