The Seven Seas,

The phrase the seven seas" has
been current for some time-was so
current when Kipling universalized it
twenty years ago-to denote all the
great waters of the earth. Its use di-
vides into seven parts the "tripartite
ocean (the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian
oceans) as the north and south Allan
tic, the north and south Pacific, the
Indian, the Arctic and the Antarctic
oceans. 1t is interesting to note that
Roman Italy had its seven seas" the
chain of salt lagoons about the mouth
of the Pc. separated from the Adriatic
by strips of sand or embellishments. The
lagoons were in ancient days much
more extensive than now, and the
"Septem Mares afforded continuous
means of internal navigation from Ra-
VIENNA to Altinum.-New York Times.

Yearly Prizes That Come From the
Fund He Left to Posterity.,
Alfred B. Nobel, the Swedish sci
enlist and inventor of dynamite, died
in 1896, leaving his fortune, which was
estimated at 100000, to the founding
of a fund of which the interest should
be yearly given as prizes to those per-
sons who had during the year con-
tributed most to 1.-The good of humani-
ty." The interest is divided in five
equal shares, awarded as follows:
.<One to the person who in the do
main of physics has made the most i'm
portant discovery or invention. one to
the person who has made the most
important chemical discovery or inven-
ton, one to the person who has made
the most important discovery in the do
main OF medicine or physiology, one to
the person who in literature has pro-
vided the most excellent work of an
idealistic tendency and one to the per-
son who has worked most or best for
the determination of nations and the
abolition or reduction of standing
armies and the calling and propagat-
ing of peace congresses.
The value of each prize is, On an
average, $4,000. The awards for
physics and chemistry are given by
the Swedish Academy of Science. that
for physiological or medical work b.
the Caroline institute (the faculty Of
medicine in Stockholm). that for htera-
ture by the Swedish Academy of Stock

The First Great Bank.

The first great bank in the world
was the bank of Venice, established IN
1857 when the queen city of the Adri-
attic was the head of the commerce OF
the western world. At that time the
great current Of the trade between Eu-
rope and Asia passed through the Per-
sian gulf and the Red sea to Alexan-
dria, Egypt, and was carried in ships
across the Mediterranean sea and
through the Adriatic to Venice, where
it was distributed to various parts OF
Europe. Venice was sort Of auto
cratic republic, founded and support
ed by it's merchants, who were famed
throughout the world for their wealth
and reliability. They founded their
bank, which was guaranteed BY the
government and was held in high cred
it in all the great cities on the routes
of trade.

The intellect and genius of Franklin
were perhaps never more manifest
than when, as the colonial agent OF
Pennsylvania, he appeared before the
British house of commons in order to
undergo an inquisition into the taxa
ton questions which were brewing the
trouble which subsequently resulted in
American freedom Not fewer than
800 questions were propounded to him
by some of the acutest legal and po-
litical minds of the old country. To
each and every one Of them he replied
in a masterful manner. Edmund
Burke in commenting on the matter
said that Franklin reminded him Of "a
man being examined by parcel Of
schoolboys." while Charles James Fox
remarked that his inquisitors were

Deep Sea Diving.

Diving with the aid Of artificial mech
anism is at least 1000 years older
than the Christian religion. Homer
compared the fall Of Hector's chari-
oteer to the descent of an oyster diver.
Aristotle mentioned diving apparatus,
and, while Alexander the Great had
no submarines. still he ordered divers
to destroy the underwater defenses Of
Tyre. Later on Livy told about treas
ures being recovered from sunken
ships by divers. So it appears that our
old world has made but slight progress
in penetrating the depths Of the sea-,
which in some places is six miles deep.

REGULATING Bread Prices.

A simple plan for the regulation Of
bread prices was in vogue in England
from the time Of Henry III. to the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century. The
"assize Of bread was set every week
by the authorities of every borough
and manor, when the price Of the loaf
was regulated by the ruling price OF
wheat the margin of reasonable profit
being left to the baker and miller. De-
parture from the official price was
heavily punished.-London Mirror.

AN ARMY AND A MOB.
lt's Discipline That Marks the Differ
erence Between Them.

GE6HCG 0SlWSCu
An army is not an army, but mob,
unless every item in it can be trusted
to do the same thing at the same mo-
ment at the word Of command. SO
obedience is not a virtue in soldier,
but a necessity. for, unless he learns
it, he cannot attain to the military v1r-
tues. 1t has been proved, for instance,
again and again that obedience is the
way to courage.
When it is a habit with men they
face danger as they form fours be-
cause they are told to, and the habit
of obedience is stronger in them than
their natural fears. 1t is, in fact, part
of a soldiers technique, and unless he
has learned it he is an amateur liable
to stage fright.
There may, of course, be an irration-
al discipline which destroys soldiers
intelligence, as irrational technique de-
stroys intelligence in any craft. But
the fact remains that soldiers have to
learn obedience by means of training
specially designed to teach them obedi-
ence, lust as a musician has to prac-
tice scales. When he has learned it
he can exercise his intelligence far bet
ter than if he had not learned it be-
cause he is braver and cooler for hav-
ing learned it--London Times.

and every worker optimistic, and an

can perform it in no way but well.

ward, but it is an irresistible magnet
which is forever drawing unexpected
rewards. And happiness can know no

RECKONING THE DEAD.
The Call of the Indians to Which the
Sea Responded.

The Call of the Indians to Which the
Sea Responded.
On the rugged coast of Washington
by the Copalis sands there is tower
from which the Indians watch for sea
otter. They are very eager after that
game. for the hide of one Of those crea-
lures is worth all the way from $500
to $4,000. Two young Indians were
watching one day when they saw
sea otter off in the surf. Two shots
from their rifles killed the otter, and
then they rushed down to their surf
boat. The sea was heavy, and when
they were out some distance from the
shore their boat broke in two over
comber, and the men were thrown into
the sea.
One of the Indians drifted ashore on
a piece of wreckage. The other, al
though a splendid swimmer, was
drowned. The news soon spread to
the reservation, and the Indians from
far and near came to the beach and
stood on the sands, silently beckoning
to the sea to give up its dead.
1t was a solemn, impressive sight
the stalwart, rugged, copper colored
men and women standing at the verge
of the sea foam asking the sea by the
motion of their hands to send the body
ashore. For three days they waited
and beckoned, and then dark object
was seen drifting into shallow water.
Sometimes it was buried completely
from view by the heavy surf; then it
was seen again a little nearer, and so
the body of the dead Indian came
ashore at the call Of his tribesmen.-
