The Silent English.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Kipling has descanted upon the
marvellous silence Of the English, con-
spicuous especially at those moments
when most human beings feel moved to
speech. OF course, it is all a matter of
comparison. Your silentest Englishman
is a chattering magpie alongside Of your
true Scot, and where Americans belong
in this scale Of silence depends largely
upon what particular breed of Ameri-
cans you have in mind. An interesting
test Of the English quality is cited by a
visitor to the British Museum who watch
ed a crowd inspecting the relics of Capt.
Scott. The last entry made by Capt.
Scott in his diary is one of the app ealing
exhibits. Scarcely a word was said. and
there was little change of expression on
the part Of English visitors. A group of
Frenchmen made sharp contrast. They
gesticulated and chatted yolubly, express
ing their feelings with a wealth Of vocab-
uiary.
We should distinguish Americans-so far
as any generalization can be made-from
both types. Most Americans lack the
volubility of the Celt or Gaul. On the
other hand. no American SHOWS the con-
Such taciturnity as your Yankee or your
westerner shows is more akin to the ST.
lence Of the Scot who holds his tongue not
through any fear Of exposing his feelings.
but SIMPLY because he Is 'close-lipped
and terse by disposition.
PerhaIs II you call an American by the
contradictory phrase, silent Celt, you
come as near as you can to suggesting
the number and meaning OF his words.

Early Week Losses Made Up.

Apprehensions of grave developments in
the Mexican situation as a result of the
Benton incident depressed the stock
market early in the week. Foreign SELL
ing also was influential in shaping the
course Of the market. Amsterdam I'M
loaded low-priced railroad stocks here
particularly the shares of systems which
are facing financial reorganization. Later
in the week the market turned.
Cneasiness over the Mexican situation
abated and foreign liquidation apparently
was completed. The market made up the
losses of the fore part of the week.
Trading was not heavy and the whole
movement was small except in a few
cases.
January railroad reports were decidedly
unfavorable. In most cases large de-
creases in gross. earnings were shown.
Reports Of business conditions were less
optimistic than those of last month
when a general revival was predicted.
While some further gains were made. the
Improvement was less pronounced than
had been hoped for. This was particularly
true of the copper and steel industries
The outflow of gold to Europe con-
tinued and money rates developed a
slightly firmer tendency.

The Decadence of Prospecting.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Much has been said Of late about the
disappearance of the prospector. and ac-
cording to my observation he Is almost
extinct: and his decreasing number Is due
chiefly to two facts: The increasing diff.
ficulty of finding mines chat is. Of max
ing valid discoveries as required by law
and the obstacles placed In his way by
land Offices and forestry bureau employees
Prominent mining men have recently
expressed the opinion that most Of the
large and valuable mines and mining dis
tricts in the United States have been al
ready discovered and as a consequence
are turning their attention to other coun.
tries. Statements of that character made
by mining engineers Of repute' are In
themselves harmful to the mining indus
try because Of their discourag1ng infiti.
ence. Careful reflection leads me to the
contrary view. 1t Is perfectly true that
the majority of the large outcroppine
mines have been discovered, but there
must be innumerable others which do not
show on the surface and which can only
be found by systematic search or by &C.
cident in connection with excavations
made tor other puypoeeA
