New GoIdfield in Africa.

Another godfield has been discov-
cred in Eastern Akin which promises
untold wealth. King Oforiatta, who
was educated on European lines, first
secured the passage of laws similar
to those adopted in South Africa to
protect the country from exploitation.
The king then proceeded with his In
vestigations, but meanwhile a cOloni-
al government survey party unex-
pectedly discovered diamonds a year
ago. Oforlatta, after a year Of re-
search work, now claims that he has
discovered that gravel deposits which
have been worked for gold for cen
turies lies over a layer of clay, beneath
which Is more gravel than that of the
top layer Under his direction an area
exceeding an acre has been eXcavat-
ed. The king states that he Is salts
ded that the indications point to the
existence of huge goldiields.

Maeterlinck loses a Doa.

Maurice Maeterlinck has a special
weakness for animals in general and
for dogs in particular. He was great
" distressed, therefore, when, the 9th
er day, a gentle little Pekinese which
he owned was bitten by Alaska, an i'll
hammered Eskimo dog, brought back
from America by the poet.
The little dogs injury was severe,
affecting the eye, and NJ. MaeterIinck,
finding the animals sutferings insup.
portable, called into consultation one
of the best eye specialists in Nice.
After a careful examination the ply
sician declared that an operation was
necessary. The four-foOted patient,
however, unable to take an anesthetic,
died under the knife.
Now for services rendered, the spe-
ciaIist has charged M. MaeterlinCk the
sum of 600 francs, which lie maltre re-
fuses to pay. The physician has gone
to cour. with the matter.-F'rOm LIE

GOOD MATERIAL FOR BOILERS
Variety of Pumce Stone Is Coming
Into General Use in Japan-Has
Many Advantages.

"Koka Seki" is a variety of pumIce
stone which, as far as now known,
reports Vice Consul II. T. Goodier of
Yokohama, is only found in the small
group of Niijima islands New Is
lands), which lie off the coast of the
Idzu peninsula, about ninety miles
south of Tokyo. Though used in
Niijima from ancient times as a build
ing material, only comparatively re-
Gently has "Koka Seki' become known
commercially in Japan proper. Be
cause of its durability, high tensile
strength and capabiIity of resisting
1900 degrees c. of heat, 1t Is suit
able for boiler and furnace cOnstruc-
ton as well as inner Innings Of safes
and the manufacture of ice chests.
As 1t is claimed, it can be easily cut,
will take a surface of paint or metal
plating, and as nails can be driven
in. it is thought that the uses Of this
material will greatly increase. 1t Is
however, in REINFORCED concrete barge
building in Japan that it Is best
known.

Japanese Remain 5uddhlsts.

That so per cent of the Japanese
living in the sugar plantation camps
of Hawaii never have been touched
by Christian propaganda, and that
American plantation owners, managers
and others who have helped support
Japanese Buddhist missions, "did a
foolish thing, If ever man did, were
two of the statements made by Rev.
Ulysses G. Murphy, representative of
the American Bible society, in a re-
cent address at Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy also said that the
elder generation of japanese living
in the plantation camps, owing to their
isolation, are forty years behind their
native country In thought and under
standing of modern conditions.
Any attempt at Americanization of
the Japanese In Hawaii which leaves
untouched their home life and fails
to recognize that the key to the prob
lem is the japanese language schools
is foredoomed to failure, Rev. MIR.

PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIA.
TION MEETS.

The Philip Parent-Teacher's AS
sociation held a meeting in the
assembly hall at the Philip High
School last Friday evening. AL
together about fifty people were
present.
There was a general discussion
of the plan to build a road up the
hill to the east of the school
building, the plan to construct rail
ings for the steps running up the
hill, the need of a better supply
of water for the school, and the
advisability of introducing domes-
tic science and manual training
courses in the school. Committees
were appointed to bring about
some of these desired improve
ments, though the suggested new
courses for the school were not
deemed advisable at the presnt
time.
Very appetizing refreshments
were served by the committee in
charge, and the discussion contin-
ued in an informal way through

STRUGGLES ALONG ON 5000
University of Pennsylvania Law Stu
dent Who Receives huge income
Lives In Modest Fashion.

Wanted, a stenographer of unim-
peachable character, experienced In
shorthand and taking dictation, who
will be willing to devote her Sundays
to indexing and preparing the cases
of a struggling law student at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania"
This is the model of stenographic
ability required by the universitys
richest student, John Jeffries V of
England, who is struggling" only in
so far as his law work goes, for he
came to this country with the mere
tritle of $S0,000 a year on which to
live, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Jeffries, who is a second-year stu
dent, already has one stenographer,
but his earnest delving into the intrt-
cacies of Blackstone and his ilk re-
qulre more assistance and he is now
looking for a suitable young woman
to add to his staff.
The young Englishman, who is the
fifth direct descendant Of John Temple.
governor general Of Ireland, and has
three cousins in the house of lords, is
popular among his classmates, who
declare that he Is quite democratic, in
spite of the burden of his wealth. He
lives quietly and unpretentiously, and
nothing in his mode of living seems to
indicate that he spends even a half of
$4,000 allowed him.

Was Expected of Him, and
Had Come Prepared.

A colored man from Kentucky drove
20 loose leaf tobacco sales ware
house in one of the Indiana cities on
the Ohio with load of tobacco.
When he received his sales slip and
weights he noticed the customary bank
| check was missing.
Approaching the cashier he said:
Look here, boss, where Is my
money for this here tobaccoP The
sales sheet was consulted.
Its like this: the expenses for
weighing, unloading and commission
for selling your tobacco amounted to
more than the tobacco was worth. You
still owe us just 50 cents" explained
the cashier.
We'll, that's all right, l guess, but
l amt got cent with me-"
( Then next time you are coming
over the river, just bring along a
chicken with you and we will call the
deal square,"
Within week the colored man ap-
peared in the office with two chickens,
one under each arm.
'Here are the chickens"
"Sure-but you didn't have to bring
two Of them, one would have paid the
BILL"

The old rail fences serruted

the cake and coffee and other
items on the menu. Towards the
end the talk drifted away from
educational topics into various
channels. The following were
some of the topics touched:
Is the education of the young
woman of today of as much actual
value in life as the education of
her mother or grandmother? Is
the business man of today educat-
ed as practically and as humanity
as the business men of fifty years
ago? Does our education cost too
much? What would Shakespeare
think of Amy Lowell? And the
like.
A debate was proposed on the
topic: Resolved that there have
been no good times in the history
Of the world since fifty years ago"
but it did not get under way.
