ACCOUNTS FOR OLD LEGEND
Simple Explanation Of the Age-oId
Myth That Surrounds the
Golden Fleece.

In the legend Of the Golden Fleece
lies hidden the record of an ancient
method Of the Tibareni, the sons Of
Tubal, for the collection Of gold. The
north coast Of Asia Minor produced
large quantities of the precious metals.
as well as copper and iron. Gold was
found in the gravel as often happens
still in streams draining from copper
regions. The gold In copper ores,
originally containing insignificant
amounts Of the precious metal, ac-
cumulates in the course of ages, and
sometimes forms placers of aston.sh
Ing richness.
The ancient Tibareni washed the
gold-bearing gravel, first by booming,
which concentrated the gold into rels
lively small amounts of sand. This
was then collected and washed through
sluices having the bottoms lined with
sheepskins. The gold would sink into
the wool, while the sand would be
washed away in the swift current.
The skins were removed from the
sluices, the eoarsest gold shaken out,
and the fieeces, still glittering with
the yellow metal, were hung upon
boughs to dry so that the rest of the
gold might be beaten from them, and
saved The early Greek mariners, wit.

tales of the wonderful riches Of land

young Monfrini was too terrified to
venture down the long dizzy rope up
which he had earlier climbed
When the whistles blew their fare
well and the tall mast began to trem-
BILE against the sky, and the crowded
piers and the harbor craft with masts
began to recede gradually from the
perch where Monfrini was huddled, the
youngster at first felt elated with ex-

shore fading away in the distance and
only the sky, vast, far-reaching, empty
and friendless, surrounding his gaze at
every side, and he began to wish his
companions were still with him. His
feeling OF loneliness gave way to a
gnawing hunger. He began to tremble
violently, his lips quivered; he looked
down at the dizzy deck below and he
began to cry. Nobody heard, he was
SO high from the deck. and all alone
he finally sobbed himself to sleep.

ENHANCING THE wARe

Dagbladet publishes a report by Pro
fessor Gustav Cassel. nationa au-
tlu.ty, on Financing the War; lie
tays in 1S.f
Those countries which are big
creditors of the neutrals have natur-
ally a special strength in war time, in
that maturing liabilities are readily
taken up. This is most distinctly
seen in the case of England, which
under normal circumstances invests
between s5O,OOO,OOO and $75,OOO,00O
per month abroad, this being the nor
NAL form for the application Of the
surplus of England's balance against
foreign countries. Should England
row, as might be the case, cease to
make these investments the cores
ponding amount would stand at her
monthly disposal
rhis explains the excellent finan-
cial strength of England just now.
England is the capitalist par excel
lence who can live on the returns Of
her capital, and who thanks to her
can force the whole world
to contribute towards her war ex-
penditure."

TALK UNEMPLOYMENT AND WAR

New York, Dec. "a discussion OF
the unemployment situation through
out the country will be one of the i'm
portant features of the annual meet
ing of the National Civics federation,
which opens here tomorrow for ses-
sions of three days. The federation
has gathered the opinions of manufac-
turers, bankers, trade journals, char
ity and labor organization as to the
outlook for this winter, and the re-
suit will be announced and discussed
by the civic workers. The national
problems arising from the war, and
the lessons we have learned as to
foreign policy will be subjects of ad-
dresses. An interesting report will be
that of the Social Insurance COM
mission Of the Federation, which spent
several months making an inquiry
into the subject in Europe. Inasmuch
as the commission consists Of a rep
resentative of wage earners, an en-
ployer and social insurance expert,
1t may be expected that the conrro-
versional questions as well as the so
cial and economic benefits to employ
ers and employees win be adequately
covered. 1t is concerned with insur-
ance plans relating to sickness, death
benefits for widows and orphans, old
age pension and unemployment-the
emergencies which bring misfortune
to wage earners. The workmen's
compensation department will sug-
gest main provisions requisite to ade-
quate workmen's compensation laws,
taking into consideration the best
features of the statutes now existing

Big Ship Sailed and the Little Lad
Took Refuge Up on the Huge Fore

Brooklyn, N. Y "A little twelye-year-
old boy gazed wistfully from the Of

arriving from Naples, as guided by
two tiny tugs she swished slowly
through the water into her berth in
South Brooklyn. The youngster looked
askance at the stolid purser, pleading
to be left on shore. But a stowaway,
even If only q twelve-year-old child,
must remain on board-and little Mon
frini remained.
On the second day out from the Bay
Of Naples, a grizzled seaman clam
bered down from the dizzy foremast
with bundle huddled close in his

the curious passengers turned out to
be a twelve-year-old youngster hud-
ding in fear. The seaman had found
the slight wisp Of youngster curled
Gloft in the perch of the crows nest,

Brought before the commandant, the
little stowaway was too frightened at
first to say word. Then he lisped
between sobs and sniffies tale that
moved the stout seadogs. He wanted
to be a real sailor, like those who sail
in the big ships that have smoke
stacks" to lands far, far away. His
papa, the youngster plaintively con
tinued, always kept saying no and no.
So what could little Giuseppe do? He.
ran away to the boats to set out to
sea.
Up, up the huge foremast of the big
ships that had smokestacks clambered
the little Giuseppe with several of his
companions while the Verona was
loading her cargo in the Neapolitan
port. Near the very height of the miz-
zenmast, where they had reached a
world all to themselves, the youngsters
stopped and began playing with amaz-
ing daring the game Of sailor When

these free-hearted, easy livers, are

replies they get in many cases.
The average seasons receipts Of
Paris amusements is SO,OOO,0OO francs
or $6,OOO,OO0 and a small portion of
that amount, the directors contend,
