Mineral Wealth In Ireland.

A remarkable discovery Of silver
and lead has been made at Clew, near
Ready, County Armagh, Ireland. by a
farmer named Conlon. While work
ing in field the other day he turned
UP piece of bright metal, which he
put in his pocket and afterwards
placed on the mantel shelf in the
kitchen, thinking little more about it.
Subsequently an old miner who had
worked in Cornwall, when visiting the
house, examined the ore, and advised
Mr.. Conlon to obtain expert advice
upon it. This was done, and the
analytical tests showed that the ore
contained per cent. of pure silver
and So per cent. lead of first quality.
A mining expert and some other gen.
tlemen visited the place, and as re-
suit of boring operations a bed of
solid ore was, it is said, struck just
a little over five feet from the sur
face. Steps are now being taken with
a view to obtaining the mining rights
of the land.

Ghost Gave the Tip.

An extraordinary story Of gam
bling "tip" from the regions of spirits
is that of Signor Crotta, the station
master at Cicignano, near Naples.
Signor Crotta speculated one franc
at weekly lottery, and now finds
himself in consequence the lucky win
ner of $4,000. On learning the good
tidings Crottas first task was to tele-
graph TO the directorate of the State
Railways his resignation. He is a
married man, and has daughter who
is a local schoolmistress. The ex-
stationmaster is also setting apart a
sum for masses on behalf of his dead
aunt, whose ghost, he avows, appear
ed to him in the early hours of the
fateful morning bidding him gamble
on four numbers which she revealed
to him, all of which eventually proved
lucky ones.

RARETRoN UP A MOUNTAIN
Test of'Endurance for Vigorous Swiss
Athletes Is Race Up the
Stanserhorn.

A Marathon race up a mountain in
the Swiss Alps, is a test of endurance
TO which only the most vigorous
among professional mountNneers
would care to submit themselves.
The first event of this kind took
place the other day. and despite the
obvious DIFFICULTIES, proved a great suo-
cess. The mountain selected was the
Stanserhorn, 6,236 feet above the sea
level, and the difference in altitude to
be covered was roughly 400 feet; the
starting point, the little town of STAINS,
being some 1900 feet above the sea.
About $500 spectators took the
funicular railway up the mountain
side, or made a leisurely ascent on
foot to cheer the winner, who proved
to be Karl Hug, a young Swiss Alpin-
list of Alpnach, his time being 1 hour
and minutes. The second arrival
took eight minutes longer, and the last
Of the SO competitors finished As min
ltes later.
The promoter of the race was a
wealthy German who has offered val
liable prizes and who rather fancied
himself for the championship. He was
greeted with sympathetic cheers when
be arrived, putting and blowing at the
goal, half an hour after the last COM
petitor, and innooently asked "if any
Of them had been sighted yet."-New

Sailor Left to the Ocean.

The crew Of the ship Inveravon re-
lated gruesome tale of the sea on
their arrival at Queenstown the other
day from Wallareoo, laden with wheat.
When rounding Cape Horn, the atten-
ton Of the crew was directed to quite
a large number of albatrosses, and
other sea birds, fighting over a dark
object In the water. With the aid of
telescopes, it was seen that the birds
were diving at the dead body of a
seaman, who had been drowned. It
was seen that the clothes on the
body had been torn, and that the
birds had picked large pieces of flesh
from the remains. The weather was
stormy, and nothing could be done to
recover the body In order to give 1t
decent burial

Years Ago

H. E. Hanson has presented Christ

handsome one, made by himself, and
reflects great credit on his skill and

brakeman on the G. T. R., lost three
fingers of his right hand last Friday
morning while coupling cars in the
Company's yard at Gorham, N. H.
He had been on the road but two
weeks.
There is to be masquerade ball at
Gorham, N. H., next Thursday. Re-
turn tickets at single fare will be is
sued at all stations on the line be-
tween here and Portland.
Two hundred and nine dancers
partook of the ball supper at the

coming spring or early summer.
The young people of this place are
to have another peanut party this
Friday evening in Bartlett and

Last Monday morning a teamster
named Howe, employed by Geo. H.

AVIAT0RS In THE DESERT
Enthusiasts Have Made Plans for q
Regular Service Across the
Sands of Sahara.

The Desert of Sahara seems to have
a fascination for the aviators, who
have made ambitious plans for estab-
fishing a regular service-particularly
for military purposes-aoross the
sands to Timbuctu.
One of the chief obstacles Is the diff
fculty of reaching a machine that has
come to grief. The sand in many parts
of the desert is so soft that it Is al
most impossible, except by the broad
footed camels.
One of the enthusiasts at Biskra has
devised an automobile for desert work
that seems to promise solution. It
is driven by an air propeller, like those
on aeroplanes, and Is mounted on a
triangular skeleton body, each corner
being supported by two large-tired
wheels which are so mounted that
they can adapt themselves to very
irregular surface.
The entire weight, including a 90
horse power engine, is only 700
pounds.
