CALIFORNIA; Gold 4Rush..

Gold was first discovered in the
Transyaal. South Africa, in 1854 and
Johannesburg, the principal center of
the gold activities. was founded in
1856. but 1t was not until 1890 that
anything like a spectacular gold fever
developed. The South African gold
fever Of 1890 equaled to a consider
able extent the Australian gold rush of
1851. The abundance of the gold taken
from the metamorphic reef, coupled
with the fact that vestiges Of ancient
mining existed in the Transyaal. led to
the well-based opinion that South
Africa was the site of Ophir, frequent
~ mentioned in the Jewish chronicle
as source of gold supply. The loca-
ton of Ophir never has, been deter
mined. Josephus thought It was in
India and Niebuhr believed 1t was in
Arabia.

PENGUINs BUILD NO NESTS
In That Respect, as In Some Others,
Most Remarkable Of All Birds
L. Unique.

Emperor penguins, standing erect
and FIVE feet tall, are the largest birds
of this strange group living in Antarc-
tic regions.
Powerful swimmers In water, al
most helpless on land. unable to use
their wings for flight, they have had
very great interest for explorers.
DR.. S. =. Jones. who was with Sir
Douglas Mawson, describing a great
mass Of the birds covering several
acres of foe Ice. says the sound Of
their cries reminded one Of the noise
from distant sports ground in a
well-contested game.
The emperor makes no nests. The
eggs are incubated while the long
night is still on, when the tempera.
ture may be 10 to 20 degrees below
zero. with the wind blowing a gale.
The female must deposit the eggs on
the ice, in absence of nest.
The single egg is placed above the
feet, between the feet and breast
feathers. In this way the egg is held
from contact with the chilling ice.
This habit has prevailed so long the
birds are accustomed to standing on
heels rather than fiat feet, in striking
contrast to other birds.
Males and females take turn in the
process of incubation. The young are
reared by the mothers, who literally
climb on top of them. This strange
and seemingly unnecessary habit fire.
quently results in the death of tie
young. Food is brought from the sea
in the mothers mouth and gullet, and
is eagerly seized and devoured by the
young.

Puttlng prama In lis Place

An idea of some of the dificulties
under which people throughout the
country labor in any attempt to reap
profit from judgment and opinion in
matters artistic will be gained from
the following experience of the late
Creston Clarke, the actor.
While playing in good-sized city,
he was approached one day on the
street by an eager young man, who
said:
How do you do, Mr.. Clarke? /
saw your performance last night. I'm
on the Star"
OH" said Mr. Clarke. And how
do you like newspaper work.
Il think it's fine" replied the youth,
I'm just starting in at it. I'm only
dramatic critic now. but II do well

Julie had hoped he would be more
attractive since he was to spend 90
long time at the orchard.
AS the days went on. she learned to
see beneath the weary veneer that
years of tripping about from farm TO
farm and from problem to problem In
fruit blfghts had painted over Frank
Hazen's personality. She began to
watch him warm to the influence of
home.
Night after night he sat with her
on the porch, the honeysuckIe vines
just letting the moon peep through
when II chose.
jules tea house business fiourished
and Hazen had found the trouble in
the new orchard. The summer waned.
AS it grew time for motorists not TO
need country tea house Julie spoke
of going back to the city. where she
earned meager living doing odds and
ends for a .woman's exchange.
Hazen knew that he had rested. He
knew that his usefulness as a peach
expert was over for the season.
But neither one wanted to leave the
hcmelike atmosphere OF the old Craft
orchard.
ITS too bad we can't all stay here, !"
remarked Tom Craft one night when
they had been discussing the separa-
.tion.
In the twilight. Frank Hazen looked
across at Julie. He saw her sigh. II
gave him hope of a dream coming
true.
"Perhaps-if you and your wife
would slip or to bed early Julie and I
might-might find way out Of hay-
Ing to be separated" he said, boldly.

Mrs. Craft arose Come. Tom" she
said. Il sort o. felt that we were not
needed. Goodnight. dear"
When they were alone Frank stepped
over to jules chair. "Was that very
crude way, dear? I am not very fancy.
butt love you. Could we not make
this little family permanent? can
see that I am needed here on this big
fruit prospect and-you could run
your tea house-and me, as well,
couldn't your"
Julie said great many things that
did not have to do with the running of
tea house and at breakfast time
there was no talk of a separation but
of Encouragement OF the old house
after the. wedding.
Il told you the peaches out here
needed attention." laughed Tom Craft.
"And-witness the blush on 1t now"
replied Frank, squeezing jules hand
beneath the cloth.

The Specialist In

Tom Craft of the famous Craft
Orchard Farm SAT- back in his chair
and pulled at his pipe.
Yes, MOTHER" he said to his wife
who sat opposite him, Il have asked
Frank Hazen. my old school friend, to
come out and spend the summer. He
Is government fruit expert, a spe-
cialist In peaches, and I'd like to know
what ais that new orchard out there.
he has not been so well and the knock
on and rest will do him good"
This was such long speech for
her husband to make all at one time
that Mrs. Craft looked at him over
the rim Of her glasses to see If he
were quite right.
Where'll we put him?' she asked,
after q minute.
The old house was small and. the
Crafts had invited niece to use the
front parlor and little adjoining room
for tea room for motorists.
Tom pulled at his pipe. "why
couldn't Julie move upstairs and let
Frank have her back room?" he asked.
well, wouldn't like to ask her
to do that after the way she has fixed
IL all up for herself"
"Tut-tut-Julie'd understand. I'll
ask her myself"
And suiting action to words, he
called Julie in from her own little
quarters where she was arranging
menu for luncheon party of motor
lists on the following day.
In her cretonne apron, Julie Hender-
son probably came nearer to being
pretty than she ever did In anything

simple little domestic country girl with
knack of putting dishes together and
serving them in a homelike fashion
that had won her reputation among
motorists.
what now. uncle?" she asked.
"Sit down"
Julie sat down reluctantly. She
wanted to finish her plans.
"Your uncle is going to ask you TO
give up your little room to big hulk
of man. Julie" began Mrs. Craft.
Julie looked from one to the other.
"But-of course" she said, lamely.
She was beginning to make expenses
and was more than interested in her
business venture.
"0h. not the tea room, child" said
Craft, hastily. "No-no-the little
room off,
Julie breathed freely again. "But
I'd give them both up, gladly, uncle.
You and Aunt Jennie have been good
to let me have them as long as you
have"
Mrs. Crafts eyes filed with tears.
Julie was always so unselfish. She
would have hidden her deepest desires
from either of them If she thought an
expression would worry them.
"This Mr.. Hazen is an expert In
peaches and one OF the orchards is
worrying me 4 lot this year. He used
to go to school with me and has
worked in fruit for the government
for years. Now he's little run down
and thought IL he'd come out here for
spell he could give me some good ad-
vice and have. a rest at the same time =

Tom, and I'll fix up the room to suit a
man. Now it would give him night

They talked 1t all over and Julie In
sisted on rearranging the room and
decorations so as to make 1t homelike
for man.

called to inspect the room his guest
was to occupy. ''Why-even an ash
tray on table right at his hand when
he Hes in bed to read. You do beat
the Dutch when it comes to being
handy. Julie" he said. pinching her
pale cheek.
Frank Hazen arrived ana was duly
welcomed. He was quiet. rawboned
fellow not much interested In anything
but his work.
The four had country supper pre-
pared by Julie and her aunt and after
ward they sat on the porch and talked
until the moon came Up.
