Treasures in Ocean

The ocean appears to the traveller
TO be a vast expanse of salty water
valued chiefly for transportation and
source of rainfall Yet it Is veritably
teaming with plant and animal life,
and its depths hold untold treasures.
It's saltiness has caused much incon-
venience, for many, as Coleridge's An
cient Mariner have had parched
threats with Water, water every
where, nor any drop to drink" Al
though apparently a nuisance and
worthless, sea salt is Natures store
house of treasures to the chemist, for
it contains all the valuable constitu-
ents of the earths crust that have
been leached out by the countless
rains of former years.

British Guiana Jungle
Still Awaits the Explorer

British Guiana bush is a dangerous
maze. SavagesN find their way by
means of secret marks but tender
foot enters at great risk. The coun-
try is five times the size of England,
and there are not more than ten white
men who have gone into the wilds of
the interior, according to d. Banner
man Clarke, M. A., general manager
of the Aranka Gold, Limited, of
Georgetown, British Guiana, says the
London Mail.
The natives. he says, have the most
marvellous sense of direction, and find
their way through the jungle with un-
erring precision. They have sort Of
sign language They make marks on
trees which only they understand,
and if some one has followed the ma
tiyes he can always tell how large lie
party was, whittier they went and just
when they passed the given spot by
these curious marks on the trees made
with cutlasses.
They also leave marks for their own
guidance when they turn about and
start homeward.

Fan,e and Glory

Fame is the favorable celebrity that
is handed to a man who has made
folks think he has done something bet
ter than the ordinary; Glory is the
widespread praise and honor accord
ed to any one by common consent.
They are two of the most widely adj
vertised articles ever put on the mar
ket. If, in a general way of speaking,
Fame is the red seal of merit pasted
on a mans brow, then Glory is three
coats of scarlet paint, rubbed down
and vanished and touched up with
golf leaf--E!Tis Parker Butler in
Hearst's lnternational-Co Cosmopolitan.

The game between the Dragons and Burritts Saturday was anything but a ball game. The Burritts were badly beaten and then made a farce out of the game with hangers on taking the place of regular batters at the plate. How a team that has been playing such good ball can play so poorly all of a sudden is more than can be explained. The Bur rits were far below their regular standard Saturday.
