Battle Of Eylau.

An indecisive action was fought at
Eylau, a town "a miles south OF Kon.
igsberg. Prussia, February s, 1907. In
this sanguinary battle between the
French under Napoleon and com.
bined force of Prussians and Russians
under Lestoeq and Benningen, about
$1,000 men were lost on each side, and
while the French were left in posses,
sion Of the field, there were no direct
results Of the battle, and Eylau Aas
passed into history as u huge, profit.
less carnage. The numbers engaged
were some 10000 on each side.
Indirectly, however. ii strengthened
the enemies Of Napoleon by breaking
the charm of his seeming invincibil-
ity. Napoleon had failed for the first
time in pitched battle, and his Dip
lomntic standing suffered In cOnse-
Quence. A few days after the bat
tie he started negotiations for peace
with Frederick William. He was
willing to surrender claims TO all
Prussian territory east of the Elbe and
not TO ask Prussia to help him in
war with Russia. Prussia refused
these terms. Napoleon then proposed
an armistice for joint negotiations. a
move which indicated his critical po-
sition.

SILVER BOOM
RESTORES CAMP

ASPEN, Colo, Dec. 5.-High
prices for silver have brought a
mining boom to this famous silver
camp. Virtually every project is
being worked and the four tunnels
under. operation are being pushed
with feverish activity In IN effort to
reach the ore bodies while the price
remains high.
Most of the properties were
closed during the early part of the
present decade when silver dropped
to ~ cents, but now even low grade
propositions are being operated with
Profit. In one of the mines, op-
orators say sufficient ore has been
blocked out to insure operations for
many years. A flotation mill has
been erected at the entrance OF the
tunnel Of this property. One streak
OF pay ore was found to assay as
high as 10000 ounces Of silver.

FUND FELL SHORT
One Of Franklin's Experiments
That Went Wrong.
Philanthrople Bequsst, Intended to Az
"Youns Married Artinosrs,~ BY Ne
Means Came Up TO his
Expectations.

| Residents Of Philadelphia rcaiis,
well why Ben rranklin's picture ap
pears on the 1919 War Savings stamps
One Item Of the versatile printers
thrift has given many fhiladelphians
ready money when 1t was badly need
ed. and now nets the city at large Z
handsome little building.
Franklin made q bequest OF SOS. 900
known ss the "Dr. Franklin fund for
loans TO young married artincers," The
bequest was made In lTso, and In
making Il Franklin looked 200 years
ahead, estimating what the total would
be on 1890 and 1890.
BY his process Of calculation Frank.
lin estimated the fund would be $685.
600 at the end OF the frst 100 years.
but Il fell far short Of this figure,
reaching but $s9. 9.SS3.e5.
Several reasons are advanced for the
failure Of the fund TO reach the
amount Franklin had expected In 1880,
but the principal one Is that the
young married artihcers" failed to
borrow as often as he had expected.
due probably to the restrictions. Later.
the restrictions were made less dras-
tic In an effort to get the money out to
borrowers, with the result that less
attention was paid to character and
responsibility, and frequently the loan
and Interest were both lost.
The terms laid down by Franklin
were characteristic. They were die
tated by sound business judgment. lie
decreed that the loans should not be
more than 90 pounds sterling, nor less
than Is pounds.
Borrowers were required to pay each
year interest at per cent, together
with 10 per cent of the principal. until
the loan was paid Off. II was with the
expectation that the entire fund would
be kept busy that Franklin made his
estimates of what the total would be
in leo years.
Franklin did not intend the entire
fund to be continued for loans after
1890. but that In that year 100000
pounds he turned over to the city Of
Philadelphia TO bring the waters of
the Wissahlcken creek to the city and
for public improvements, such as aque-
ducts, fortlfications, etc.
In 1907 the board OF city trusts.
which was custodian OF the Franklin
fund. turned over the money, about
1888, GOO. to the Franklin institute, for
L. L.. H. ts.,
TO erect a memorial building on the
new Philadelphia parkway in memory
Of Franklin.
