ONLY NEEDED TO BE FED
Simple Reason Why Imported Engine
Could Not Be Persuaded to
Do Its Duty.

The first locomotive used on the
Champlain & st. Lawrence railroad
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had 1t Gagged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight, in the presence Of a few
interested persons, and it is not de-
scribed as a success. Later, the i'm
ported engineer made several attempts
to set the Kitten-for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
mOtive-in motion toward st. Johns,
but in vain the engine proved refrac-
tory, and horses were temporarily sub
stituted for it.
Meanwhile, the railroad officials call
cd in a practical engineer from the
United States. who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
lessly unmanageable, was in good or
der and required only plenty of wood
and water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for after a little practice the en-
CINE attained the extraordinary speed

CENTER OF MANY LEGENDS
Famous Dome of the Rock, In the Holy
Land, Has Long Been Held
Sacred Place.

The Mussulman's grief at the fall Of
Jerusalem Is largely conferred in the
fate of the Dome of the Rock. For
journeyed to this spot, which they
count second only to the holy places Of
Mecca In religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock about which a host of ira
ditions-Jewish, Christian and Mo-
hammedan-have been collected. From
this rock Mohammed assembled into
heaven on his steed FL Borak, the light
ming. Here also. If tradition is worth
anything, rested Noah's ark, and Jacob
saw the angelic vision. This spot is
er on the earth, and the Turks accept
the old Jewish theory that this is the
center of the earth. Here on the judy
rnent day will the angel Gabriel stand
when he sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept or
reject them as you will. But long and
heated have been the learned disser-
tations to decide whether this identical
spot, already overcrowded with asso-
Citations, is the site of Solomon's tenn
pie or of the tomb of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former conclu-
sion and grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure projecting the rock is a
worthy rival of the Tai Mahal in beau
ty of design. The building is octagon-
al like a mosque and popularity called
the Mosque of Omar, TO the distress
Of the well informed, who point out
that it is only a shrine and that the
true Mosque of Omar is a small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
Mohammedan worship is as yet un-
disturbed by the vceroy of the Chris
tians. the chief difference being that
the Mohammedan is now the tenant
and the unbeliever the landlord.

START THEIR BATTLES
FROM STRIP OF TAPE
lust Like Runners Taking Part
in a Great Athletic
Meet.

The allied armies start their battles
from a tape-line just like runners TAX

of white tape, an inch wide, marks the
assembly line from which the troops

I've seen troops march silently dur

I've heard the boom of the great
guns and seen the flashes marking
the barrage as a flood of men rushed

Elusive

We must remember one thing. 1t is
not absolutely necessary to be happy.
1t is all very well to talk about happi-
ness. but one of the strange contra
dicHons of life is that we can never
find happiness, if we search for it.
Happiness is elusive. 1t will escape
US, If W. seek to hold 1t. But If we
go our way, if we refuse to lose our
faith, no matter how sad we may be,
no matter how weary or how disheart-
ened, we win learn to find happiness
in little things. In the reading of a
book, in the singing of a song, in the
making of a dress, in the doing of our
work.
1t is the last thing indeed that is
the real cure for the disillusionment
Of life that comes to each of us. Work
is the great panacea. If we work, and
work well, we shall find much to com
pensste us. And if along the way we
choose to pretend that dreams dc
sometimes come true, who can blame

NEW Y0RK'S MANY MINERALS
Beneath the Streets of American
Metropolis.

Everyone knows that Boston is O
great center of copper mining, and
that New York is the enter of all
other mining industries Of the coun-
try, but few realize that either Of these
cities have opportunities to mine for
anything except subways at home. 1t
seems, however, that New York's ex-
%traordinary activities In the mining
business must have received their first
impetus not from Wall street, but from
a varied experience gained in dealing
with the rock Of Manhattan.
More than 11S varieties of minerals
and several kinds of gems have been
found on the island, according to
Electrical Experimenter. Aquama-
rines weighing Ia karats have been
found at Broadway and One Hundred
and F~ifty-seventh street. The min
Ing possibilities at Broadway and One
Hundred and Seventy-sixth street are
almost unlimited. Green tourmaline
gems, magnetic and iron ore, chal-
crystal form of nickel have been
found there.
Other minerals to be had on the
island are zincite, used in the manu-
facture of perikon d~etector, r~oeblingite,
agate, a-mazon-stone, amber, amethyst,
c~hrysoberyl, fire opal, garnet, perister-
ite, prehnite, rock crystal, rose quartz,
smoky quartz, precious ~serpentine,
tourmaline and willemite, silver, lead,
zinc, copper, iron, teIdspar, molybde-
nite-which is used in the molybdenite
electromagnetic, asbestos, mica, beryl,
torbenite and u%raninite.

STIRRED BY GREAT PARADE
Many Will Think That the Little Man
Was a Trifle Unjust to His
Own Importance.

The swelling roar Of cheers outside
made the Little Man drop a paper
weight on his ledger leaves and bolt
to the nearest window, says Golfers
Weekly. Down the street came the
guard of honor, mounted police pre-
ceding some sunburnt regulars from
our Mexican border, and behind them
swung half a company of real French
poilus. the sort that turned back the
Boche from verdun and the Chemin
des Danes. Short, quick stepping,
steel built men of France they were,
with keen, dark faces under the lop-
ping tam o. shanter headgear of the
Corps Alpin, rolling along with their
Noah's ark packs and bayonets set
for action. The cheering actually
seemed to shove the buildings back
from the street. Long ago the Forum
must have welcomed thus the legion
aries who had saved Roman civiliza-
ton from the barbarian in those bit
ter struggles through Gaul and Dacia.
Every mans sleeves showed the stripes
that meant wounds, and his breast the
decorations hat meant valor.
'eThey did make one feel so old and
useless and out of It," as the Little
Man told his wife next morning. So
he ground out the days work with his
teeth set hard, bought some more
thrift stamps, took the first car for
home, spent the rest of the daylight
hours in caring for his beans, pota
toes and cabbage, got through a war.

time later fell into bed as If it had
been a dugout.
"If this gets much worse I'll learn
TO knit" was his last waking thought,

AIR STATION IN IRELAND
Yankee Camp Springs Up With Speed
of Circus.

An American aviation station is
growing In Ireland with the speed Of
the early morning tent city which
springs up when the circus comes to
town In the states.
Captain Herbster is in command,
and under his supervision a miniature
town is springing up, carefully
planned, mostly wooden construction,
but neat and methodical.
An example of Yankee efficiency,
the one big airdrome already in place

TURNING TO SILVER
Miners Find That Purchasing Price of
Gold Is Going Down.

The Yukon miner is turning from
gold to silver mining. While the value
of the former, or its purchasing power,
has decreased, that of silver has been
doubled.
There is great activity in two silver
bearing areas tributary to Dawson, the
Mayo district on the upper Stewart
river and along the Twelve-NIile Greek.
These fields are $50 miles apart. Sill
yer was discovered in these areas
years ago. but no work was ever done.
The Canadian government has dis
patched a party of biologists to inves-
Hgate the prospects of developing the
silver mining industry in this section.
