"a House of Gold"

A house of gold really exists. IL
stands in little place called Rosa
mond. on the Mohave desert in Cali
fornia, as a sort of monument to an
old miner who "struck it rich" His
gold properties were in the vicinity OF
Rosamond, which years ago gave
promise of some day becoming a city,
and when the miners wealth accumn-
lated he determined to do something
nice for the place, so he reared this
structure of rock and put in the en-
tire front of gold ore from his dis
coveries. 1t is a large building, and
of heavy construction, particularly
that part made of the gold-bearing
rock, which runs about S25 to the ton
in yellow metal. The mines whence
this came have been worked out. 1t
is not unlikely that some day, when the
building is RACED, the rock will be
milled and the gold extracted, and it
may yield a large amount, because
some very rich streaks were encoun-
tered, and part Of this rock undoubt-
edly came from these lodges.

CHANGES IN MOTHER EARTH
Constantly Going On, and Some of
Them Are OF Immense Conse-
cuence to Human Race.

The proofs submitted by Prof. e. l..
kIoseley Of the Ohio state normal
school at Bowling Green that the wa
ters of Lake Erie and several other
lakes gradually are becoming deeper
is of more than ordinary interest both
in scientific and business circles. The
information Is of peculiar value just
at this time, In connection with the
campaign for the st. Lawrence river
cut off, which Is designed to make
Toledo and other lake cities virtually
ocean ports, says the Blade of that
city.
Professor Moseley likens the lake
beds to fitting platters. The tilt under
Lake Erie is Of such character that
the outlet at the east end Is rising
with consequent deepening Of water
levels at the western end In the VI
cinity of Toledo and the famous Bass
islands, Nature. which already has
done so much for Toledo, is adding
something to the score.
In this connection it is interesting
also that scientists and engineers have
noted somewhat similar phenomena in
the western states. 1t Is asserted
that the coast of California is rising
at the rate of about six inches cen

there may he attributed to inequalities
in the movement of the earth's crust.
Measurements by engineers have dis

evaporation exceeds the inflow and

The geological story is written so
slowly, as a rule, that it can be read
only by such scientists as Professor
Moseley, who has devoted the greater
part Of his life to research and educa-
tional work in natural history.

and deduction. draws the conclusion
that it was possible for the Indians

and wading only few streams and

were attributed as follows: Killed in

augmentation of mortality, economic

BEING A LADY.

Before the gentler sex as whole
discovered that woman" is a word
that carries no invidious distinction,
polite folk had to use the word LADY"
a great deal. 1t was possible to get a
'Yashlady," for instance, when to
look for colored woman to do the
wash was hopeless. Americas democ-
racy, jealous of tits rights, has risen
stage or two since then and "wo-
man" is respectable word again. But
1t was left to old Pennsylvania to ap-
ply distinction. In Pennsylvania
apy woman can be lady" to be sure,
but it will cost her 20 cents, says Mil
waukee Journal. Township election
laws make classes. Housewives,
housekeepers, servants" and so on
must pay 20 cents to register for vot-
tug; stenographers, clerks and book
keepers pay 25 cents; doctors and law
yers, 80 cents. But lady" must pay
40 cents. The class, it is naively eX-
blamed, corresponds to "retired" for
a. man. Pennsylvania has baubles fe-
her citizens-baubles that cost from
b to 20 cents. You can be lady In
