Great Writers Often
in Financial Straits

When Oliver Goldsmith was
threatened with arrest for nonpay-
ment of rent, Samuel johnson has
tened to him ald asked if he bad
any manuscript upon which he
might realize some money. Gold
smith produced his Vicar of Wake
field" and Johnson, who, upon
glancing through it, saw its merits,
tucked it under his arm and hur-
ried to Francis NeWberry, that fa-
nous old bookseller. Newberry was
rather Indifferent about its worth,
but paid johnson dhe equivalent of
$500 for it.
To Goldsmith the sum was the
price of liberty, as well as shell
ter aud food, and he welcomed it
as one would Il small fortune. New
berry kept The manuscript for two
years, until Goldsmith's Traveller"
having appeared and proved sue
cessful, he thought he might risk
its publication. 1t was published
March, lTG6, and in a month was
in its second edition.
Goldsmith, however, was not the
only author who suffered from i'm
pecuniosity. Dickens. Johnson,
rhacllcray, Addison and Speed were
at vaIious times so pressed for
money that e. Y did not know
from where their neAt dollar was

Karakos Left Record
of Engineering Skill

In bygone days the natives of
New Caledonia displayed an aston
ishing knowledge of engineering.
Because the valleys where they
lived were too narrow to support
a growing population, they carved
the sides of the hills into great ter
races. These were carefully graded
so that mountain streams could be
made to flow smoothly along each
terrace and down to the next in
Zigzags, each half mile or so
long, says writer in Adventure
Magazine. If there was no spring
on the hillside, they brought water
from neighboring slopes along Via
ducts made Of hollowed-out tree
trunks. They gagged levels with a
nicely modern engineers might
envy.
The native population is docreas-
ing, the survivors are apathetlc and
indolent; they work on plantations
or cattle ranches, and on Sundays
they get drunk, when they are not
attending church
