GOLD FROM FLOOR TO CEILING
Wonderful Accumulation of Yellow
Metal Stored in the Assay Office
at New York

The New York assay Office is now
the most important institution of the
kind in the world. There is more gold
stacked up in boxes and kegs, in bricks
and bars, in bins and bags than ever.
before in the history of the country.
The assay office, says the New York
World, is the purchasing agent for the
government. Foreign gold, consigned
~ banks and. trust companies, is
''cashed in" through the assay Office.
British sovereigns, packed in boxes,
are piled as high as the ceiling. Dodg
ing that golden bulwark, the visitor is
likely to bump into the cases full of
French twenty francs that are piled on
the other side. Turning to reach the
elevator, he skirts row of gold bars,
packed five ten-thOuSand-dolla bars
to the keg, in sawdust, and stretching
along the wall twice the height of a
man. { .H
All gold, of whatever nature, is melt
ed and refined to a fneness of 999.5,
or finer, and cast into bars of standard
sizes. The value of each bar is ex-
pressed. in United States dollars and
cents. Every bar and coin has to stand
the acid test.
There are Is big melting pots at
work on gold exclusively. 1t seems al
most brutal to see the workmen scoop
shovelfuls of gold pieces from metal

other, into pot until it is full, and
then clap on the lid and wait for them

MAPS SAVE MANY MILLIONS
Work of the Government Geological
Survey Is Having CumuIa-
tive Effect.

The work of the governments old
est scientific bureau, the geological
survey, is having a cumulative effect,
as the years go by, in a thousand diff
ferent ways in enhancing the econo-
mic efficiency of the nation. The foun-
dation of the geological surveys work
is the construction of a great topo-
graphic map of the United States. AL
ready 100000 square miles, or 40
per cent of the nations area, has
been mapped. The distinctive charac-
teriStic of these maps, which are mi
nutely accurate in every detail, is the
contour lines, each line representing
certain altitude above sea level, the
intervals in altitude represented by
the distance between the lines being
TO to 100 feet according to the char
acter of the country. These maps are
of immense practical value For ex-
ample, when the Lackawanna railroad
decided to relocate "a miles Of it's
main line a few years ago, the engi-
neer of construction got down geolo-
gical survey map and, sitting COM
fortably at his Office desk, ran all the
preliminary surveys and even made
the final location for his twelve mil
lion dollar improvement from the data
on the printed sheet. 1t was only nee
essary to shoulder transit and go out
into the brush to verify the final 10
cation and drive stakes. = Charles

Group immodesty.

Why is it that men who individu-
ally are modest to the point of timid-
ity are the very opposite when they
get together?
The United States has a number of
militia regiments which have attached
the words battling" and fighting" to
their names. They did this before
they were much more than organized
and they have retained the words
though they have seen no fighting and
smelled only the powder of the tar
get ranges. There are clubs and as
sociations which gather, seemingly, for
no other purpose than to absorb flat
terry. The sense of self-importance
is nowhere so concentrated, so humor-
ously tangible, as in the halls where
congresses and state legislatures con-
duet their affairs.
We suppose that our friends, the
psychologists, have a many-jointed
word for this group immodesty. But
we wonder if they have a cure for it..
1t appears to be increasing in our
country, and it would seem wise, if
there is a remedy, to apply it speedily.

"There will be a bigger penalty If
you don't do what 1 say, and paid in
another way, in blood. And it will be
your fault"
Now both men were angry and in
their passion they confronted each
other more resolute and fierce than
ever.
"LOok here" said Abbott, his fiery
temper suddenly breaking from his
control, "who are you anyway? You're
only kid engineer. Your father ap-
proved of the plan Of this bridge. 1
guess we can afford to bank on his
reputation rather than yours"
"Well, he doesn't know of this"
Nobody is on the bridge now, and
nobody is going to be on there until
tomorrow morning. Wire him if you
like. Hell wire Illingworth down at
Martlet and wen get word what to
do"

the bridge until"

But if my father wires you"
Il take orders from the Martlet COM

answer with which Abbott turned away
in fnality, so that the other realized
the interview was over.

STOPPED to hunt for a wayside tele-
phone. The automobile driven madly,
recklessly through the hills and over
the rough roads, had brought him di-
rectly to the Office in the shortest pos
sible time.
'There is a DETECTION one inch and
three-quarters deep in one of the COM
pressiSn members, C-10-R," was the
prompt and terrible answer.
Colonel Hlingworth had not been
president Of the Martlet Bridge COM

agonized man to whom she had given
herself.
"It is terrible, of course" she said
quietly. "But you can do nothing?"
"If 1 could, do you think I'd let the
bridge, and you, go without"
"I'm not going with the bridge" was
her quick and decisive interruption.
They had both forgotten the pres
ence of young Johnson, who was not
only decidedly uncomfortable, but des-
perately anxious. He was about to
speak when, into this already broken
scene, came another interruption.
There was rush of wheels on the
driveway outside, the roar of a motor.
Before Meade could answer the state
ment, into the room burst Colonel T.
lingworth. He was covered with dust,
his face was white, his eyes filled with
anxiety. The character of the sum-
mons had disquieted him beyond meas

daughter. Colonel Illingworth had not

Waste Bark Replaces Raos,

A method of using waste hemlock
tan bark to replace partially expensive
rag stock in the manufacture of felt
roofing has been developed at the for
est products laboratory at Madison,
Wis, and is now being used CONNER
cially by cooperating mills, according
to an announcement made by the for
est service. 1t is stated that in these
mills from 20 to 80 per cent of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark
and that the quality of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members of the for
est service who have been conducting
the experiments say that the utiliza-
ton of the bark will make it possible
to effect a considerable saving in the
manufacture of felt roofing.

ExpIoration of New Guinea.

A few years ago elaborate plans
were laid in Germany to explore the
hitherto inaccessible interior of New
Guinea by means of balloons, which
were expected to drift over the island
in the prevailing winds. The project
was much discussed in the magazines
and subscriptions were solicited in it's
behalf, but it was never carried out.
1t is now reported in the newspapers
that DR.. Eric Mjorberg, a Swede, is
planning to make use of an airplane
to explore the interior of New Guinea,
and is in the United States investi-
eating the latest improvements in
aviation.

KNOW LITTLE CARE.
SHANTY BOATMEN CERTAINLY
LIVE A HAPPY LIFE.
Will Sometimes Work, Though Pleas.
ure Is the Real Business of Exist
ence-Not Bothered About
Rent or Taxes.

If man were privileged to choose
his own manner of living, sorting over
the whole collection of life's various
forms of existence, and choosing the
one he liked best, no matter what any
body or everybody said, it is likely that
in all that strange collection he could
find nothing more charming than the
life of the Shanty boatman, remarks
the Indianapolis News. The shanty
boatman lives anywhere, according to
his inclination and the season. He
lives, anyway, according to his de-
sires. 1t sets you dreaming of all the
faraway places to think of him. He
moors his little house on the cool
northern streams in the summer, and
drifts down the warm blue southern
rivers during the winter. He is not
averse to a bit of work now and then,
enough to keep him in coffee and ba-
con, but he can choose his work as he
goes, and leave it when he grows tired
of it. Work is his avocation, and, as
an avocation, work is not an unpleas-
ant thing. His real business is liv-
ing, smoking, fishing drifting. He
pays neither rent nor taxes. He owns
only bit of an old shack, somehow
made watertight and balanced so that
it will float. 1t is even possible, you
must understand, for him to enter into
the life of city men, entering into it,
however, with no sense of necessity or
restraint.
A shanty boatman was not so long
ago resident of this very town. With
a proper sense of the fitness of things
he tied his boat to a fence, in line
with the houses on the shore and even
| painted a number over the front door.
| 1t was jolly looking little home, with
the smoke coming out of the pipe in
the roof and lamplight shining from
we know, he may have regular job
and have taken to city life very con-
tentedly for a while. The advantage
he had over the rest of US, of course,
was that to get away to the faraway
places he had only to unite his boat
and drift, accepting now and then a
bit of lift from a friendly craft.
The thing that is likely to bother us,
however, in choosing this sort of ex-
istence, is the question as to wheth-
er we should really be a shanty boat
man, or just pretend to be one. Steven
son was sort of shanty boatman. AT
least, he did drift about through the
country in boat, and lived very con-
tentedly and lazily on the way. But
Stevenson has written a book about his
wanderings, and he was not really q
shanty boatman at all. 1t is just the
difference you may say, between ari
and yagrancy. Vagrancy has an idle
sound, and art is tempting thing
The very point in being a shanty boat
man, however, is in not having to try
to be anything else, and, perhaps the
best thing about it is the fact that
it is so far removed from art as to
be very nearly real.

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche.
wan. These he has fenced and rent.
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $150 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and siIos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
30 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-seetion, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1926 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.56 per bushel, gave him $2,563.0S.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow
ing a share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $4,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now.''
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. 81. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: swell, George, what shall
! I tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: "Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock On his first visit of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
ized the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
in it.'-Advertisement

Wars Convictions.

What has happened is that out of
the blacklist, most internal experience
through which, as far as we know,
the race has ever passed there has
seemed to come literally to millions
of men a redeeming conviction, heal
ing and trans6guring assurance, that
brotherhood is not delusion; that life
has a meaning; that resolution and
courage and discipline and simple faith
in fellowmen and loyalty to ideals are
now, as they have always been, with
in that meaning; that these things are,
as they will be forever, within mans
heritage, to be displayed in war until
the better way is found.-E. T. Devine.
