An object of considerable at tention to strollers about town IS he mining operations of Messrs. Keene and Longfellow opposite the Plein residence on East Front street. The partners have been sluicing since last Friday, employing for that purpose the water coming from one of the city drains in the near vicinity
 The unique feature of the oper- 'ations to visitors is that the tailings are being disposed of through large hole in the shore ice which is piled up many feet in height opposite that point. The action of the water has cut away large opening through the ice ridge permitting the waste material being carried out onto the shore ic. The ground being worked was formerly oc- cupied by the Keene home, which was destroyed during the big flood of 1913, and is said to contain excellent values.

FEW SECRETS IN DIPLOMACY
Diplomats Cannot Now Safely "Lie
Abroad for Benefit Of Ones
Country at Home"

"The golden rule and the Monroe
doctrine are" as John Hay, one of the
greatest of American diplomats, said,
"Our guides in American diplomatic
life" Truthfulness and discreet frank
ness are, in his opinion, Its distinguish
Ing qualities. "We have generally told
squarely what we wanted, announced
early in the negotiations what we were
willing to give and allowed the other
side to accept or reject our terms
The secrets OF olpIomacy still exist,
to be sure; many things are safely
hidden in the archives, and still more
in the memories of ambassadors and
ministers. But diplomats cannot now
safely 'lle abroad for the benefit of
ones country at home" They may be
reticent or they may use language that
wells their real purpose, but in no
career is lie more looked on as dis
graceful and useless than in this
career to which Talleyrand and Mat
ternich gave bad reputation.
The study of little things was the
principal business of some of the Older
diplomats. There is a story that Tai
leyrand always sat with his back
against the light and with snuffbox
in his hand. Sitting in that position,
he could watch the play of his oppO-
nent's features, and by Offering his
snuffbOx could gain time before an

If there is no natural shade for the

Only Three Kinds Of Feet.

A recent meeting Of foot doctors
brought forth the information that all
feet are divided into three classes
namely, inhared outflared and straight
the first two classes being scientific
divisions for the common Affections
known as pigeontoes and b0wlegs. One
doctor said: "Shoes are prOvcrbiaily
made TO fit the eye and the pocket
book, but not the feet" The ordinary
classification OF boots, shoes and slip
pers does not fl with the inhared, out

the fact that most manufacturers ride

ton it is proposed that all shoes con-
form with the three general classes of
feet. -P 1pular Science.

EARTH IS WEARING AWAY;
Planet May Continue Million Years,
But There is Some Doubt
About II.

This earth is not going to last for
ever. 1t may continue for a million
years, but there Is some doubt about
that. 1t is wearing away Every CEN
tury 1t is weaker than it was a century
before. 1t is natural that it should be
SO. The winds and storms and earth
qnakes and floods are conspired to
break up its crust and reduce it's vital
force. A leveling process is going on
constantly and in the far future all
that will be left of us will be q hard
ball, like Mercury has become. The
life conditions will constantly becomeI
Trailer, until human life will be forced
off the planet.
1t doesn't interest us, of course, ex-
cept MS a speculative question, sug-
costing the fate of animal life and the
destiny of humanity, But the scientists
see the crust of the earth gradually
giving way and making the planet less
Gently in Alaska there was an uplift
of the earth's crust fully forty feet,
which indicated a sinking elsew here,
probably in the ocean, Of an equal
amount of the earth's crust Similar
conditions are reported elsewhere, not
SO marked, possibly, but numerous
enough to show the tendency of terres-
trial. change. In a few centuries,
when we return to the earth for a
visit, which we all expect to, we will
not be able to pick out spot that Is
now crowded with so many fond mem
cries. But nevertheless, get the fond
memories ready anyhow.
