Tom Phinney craned forward. He

intently.
Excepting that 1t was so nicely
timed, there was nothing dramatic
about the mans advent. Tom even in

distinct thrill when, a few seconds
later, the young man mounted the

Rand Gold Industry.

The economic value of the South
African gold industry and the conse-
quences to the world at large. should
a strike ever close the mines for any
length of time, are difficult to esti-
mate. Last year. according to the
London Chronicle, almost 3S,00O.OOO
pounds sterling worth OF gold was ta-
ken out of the miues of the wit
watersrand." A large part of this vast
sum remained in the country to be
used to pay the wages of the $4,000
Europeans employed in the mines and
Of the almost 200. 900 natives.
The recent industrial upheaval in
the Rand has called more attention
to the Reef that supplied the whole
world with the greater part Of its gold.
because the money centers of Europe
openly feared that even temporary
suspension of work in South Africa
would paralyze the worlds finances.
But, fortunately, this has been averted
by the speedy termination OF the

Reelaimine Zuyder Zee.

Queen Wilhelmina in her speech
from the throne on the opening Of
the Dutch parliament said that a
measure would be introduced for the
reclamation of the Zuyder Zee. The
Zuyder Zee was originally lake. and
the scheme is to make 1t SO again by
constructing a great dyke across the
entrance OF the Zuyder Zee and then
build three other dykes around the
coast of the Zee, one running nearly
directly north and south and one clos
ing the western part of the Zee; an
other from near the southern end of
the first to a point well up on the
eastern shore. while third one will
stretch northwest lin the direction OF
the dyke built across the entrance.
This scheme will not touch the center
OF the Zee. which will thus return to
its former condition of lake.
II the Dutch chambers sanction It
the work will be carried on by means
of public loan In the Netherlands.

A page fastening cat-footed, after

had but to enter his head to emerge
at his mouth. The other two diners

CITY OF MONUMENTS
French. Capital Very Interesting
in This Respect.
Every Highway and Garden Appears
But the Background for Work OF
Art-Tomb of Napoleon In
spires Patriotic Feeling.

Puris.-Paris Is SO full of interesting
delight to wander aimlessly about the
town In order to be surprised by some
graceful nymph In bronze or some
handsome god in stone. Every high.
way and garden appears but the back.
ground for a work of art designed to
please the eye sensitive to beauty.
Whatever be the nature of the Paris
monument, it seldom fails to inspire
some emotion. One cannot visit the
impressive tomb of Napoleon at the
Invaiides without feeling of patriot
ism. The lovely fountain of Carpeaux.
in the Luxembourg gardens, is an in
spiration for the poet and dreamer;
and the Chapelle Expiatoire. in the
Rue des Mathurins, one of the least
known monuments of Paris, calls forth
tears of pity. 1t is hardly possible
to enter Chapelle Expiatoire without
feeling of sorrow for the indiscreet
butterfly who flew too near the flame
of Destiny, the fascinating Madame
Deficit, the execrated Madame Veto OF
the pamphleteers.
The edifice, which. unfortunately. Is
not as beautiful as it might ls.. is the
work of th.s~ architsfS.s : j. and
Fontaine. and was erected shortly
after the Restoration. on the site of
the old burial ground of the Made
leine, where the victims of the insa,
table guillotine found their final rest
ing place. Here were the graves of the
noble Swiss Guards, of beautiful Char
lotte Corday, of Philippe Egalite,
Camille Desmoulins. Danton. Bailly
and many others, and here. too. the
bodies of Louis XVI and Marie An
toinette were hastily inferred in open
collins filled with quicklime.
Had It not been for the loyalty Of
a few royalists the actual grave of the
king and queen might easily have been
lost in oblivion. AS It happened, the
spot was carefully noted and pur'
chased in 1896 by one Desclozsaux. In
1915, when the horrors of the revoiu.
tion had passed like an evil dream, the
remains were disinterred. the skulls,
few bones and the elastic metal gar
ters worn by the Inflated Autrichienne
at the time of her execution were re.
inferred at St. Denis with the respect
which had been denied them by the
Republic One and Indivisible: and the
original collins. worth six francs each,
containing the dust of the king and
queen. were placed in the vault illus.
trated above. In the chapelle also are
two interesting groups in white mar.
BILE. One represents the apotheosis OF
Louis XVI The king is shown sup
ported by an angel. presumably in the
person OF Able Edgeworth saying the
immortal words, Son of st. Louis
ascend to heaven
The statue Is exceedingly interest
ing by reason of the fact that 1t Is
the only one OF Louis XVI in all Paris.
Affixed to the pedestal is slab OF
black marble. on which the will of the
unhappy monarch is reproduced in
gold letters.
The second group shows Marie An
toinette kneeling at the foot Of q fig
