VISITS US| Writer Recalls Sundry Times When Various Exalted Persons Failed to Disturb Our Composure. ‘Writing on the visit of the Con- | naughts to New York, F. D. Dunne in the Metropolitan Magazine says: “Other royal personages have looked us over in the past. The late king of England came to America before the war and must have been extremely ac- tive on his feet for at least 10,000 old ladies are still alive who danced with him. Princess Louise we al- ways remember with respect as the first person who had the courage to speak out against the filth and in- decency of the American sleeping car of the time. We had Dom Pedro of Brazil with us for awhile. Ten years ago we were favored with the pres- ence of Prince Henry of Prussia. Long before that came the king of the Sandwich islands, an agreeable brown potentate with a taste for drawing to inside straights. It is so long ago whether the ladies of New York made themselves agreeable to him in the historic man- ner of the Cannmibal islands by ask- ing him in to pick an acquaintance with them, but it is a fact of history that the proprietor of a hotel in Chi- cago did meet him at the door and in- quire whether he wouldn’t ‘like to go to his room and wash up.’ TUnder all these honors, as far as we are in- formed, the American public bore it- self with some degree of composure, but the arrival of the duke on a pure- ly social visit was too much for the pent-up aristocratic esnotions of all sec- tions of the population, and they re- ceived him with as great a show of fealty as though he were the reigning prince and they his sworn subjects.” GOLD SEEKERS OF LONG AGO They Took Large Quantities of the Precious Metal From Brazil 150 Years Ago. Alexander P. Rogers, a mining engi- neer who recently made an inland voy- age by river from the mouth of the Amazon to Buenos Ayres, found proof that the same regions had been over- run 150 .years ago by a band of ad- . venturous goldseekers.. | most important adjuncts. They were remarkably successful in their search for gold, too, and found every mine which is known today in that region. At a mine near Matto Grosso they had brought in & small army of slaves and cleared off the jungle for a mile around, while others were set to work constructing a long ditch to" bring water to the flat below. It was a clev- er piece of work for men without sur- veyors’ ingtrumen(s. They cut the ditch through a cement formation that in places was twenty feet deep, and near the lower end they conmstructed & great chamber in which they ground the ore between huge rocks. Wheth- er they used mercury to amalgamate the gold I could not determine, but several stone tanks and sluices made me think that possibly they did. They built a town around these works with a brick kiln and a distillery as the It must have been a busy and exciting place to live in, ruled over by an irou hand, the master’s word law in everything, and a cruel law it was. They took out a large amount of gold. And then, to enjoy it, they had to get out to the civilized world with it, through 3,000 miles of hostile coun- try, where freebooters lay in wait. To Detect Fire Damp in Mines. One of the simplest of the many Buggested tests for fire damp in mines is that described to the Scottish So- clety of Arts. It is an attachment that may be applied to any oil or spir- It safety lamp, and consists of a loop of copper wire supported on a brass rod passing through the oil vessel. To make a test the loop is moved into the flame. This becomes instantly nonluminous, but if fire damp is pres- ent in the air the gas cap is clearly seen. The test can be made in a mo- mept, at any time, without turning down or putting out the light. It s claimed that the percentage of fire damp this method will detect is ex- ceedingly small, and the results of | trials in both laboratory and mine go to show that this is one of the most sensitive, accurate, and expeditious means of revealing the presence of Inflammable gas in mine or other air, Plan to Make Rome Seaport. The latest project to make Rome & seaport is to lay out a port 35 feet deep near Castel Fusaro, formed by running two jetties out into -the sea for some distance, as at the port of Ymuiden, Holland. From the port will lead a ship canal 15 miles long and 200 feet wide and 27 feet deep. At Rome shipping accommodations will be laid out in the river below the city, and this will be connected with the navigable part of the Tiber by a sys- tem of locks. It will cost about $15. 000,000 to carry out the project. Op- ponents of the idea claim it will not pay, but the promoters afirm that when once. the city is connected with the Mediterranean there will result a great amount. of traffic.

If the speed is great enough to throw the rider free of his machine he slides along the track and escapes with a few scratches, or, possibly, some broken bones. The development of the motor- cycle saucer track greatly lessens the danger. If the rider is at the bottom of the track he runs small danger of being injured, provided he has pres- ence of mind to keep from under the motor in case of an upset. The few riders that have been killed were either caught under the machines or were riding near the top of the track and brought up against one of the posts. In my fall at Los Angeles the law of gravitation brought into play by the third of a mile circumference of the track kent my weight and the weight of the machine off the boards until the momentum had slackened and there was practically no danger. The marks I made on the track will bear out my statement. There is a scratch about fifty feet in length al- most immediately in front of the pad- dock, 200 feet from where I started to fall. The mark shows the compara- tively short distance the machine and I slipped before coming to a stand- still. The only damage I sustained was & bent pedal and some minor scratches.” ———— s “Interests” In 1836.

A Chicago university professor, aft- er exhaustive research, has discovered there are ten different kinds of lies. ! Under his classification there are the | fantasy or fairy tale lie, the vainglo- | rious or boasting He, the defensive lie, the heroic lie, the white or per- missible lie, the soclety lle, the busi- ness lie, the art lie, and the adultera~ tive le. Her Responsibilities. It is a woman’s privilege to change her mind, is a time-old saying. All privileges carry great responsibilities. If she has power to change her mind, she has absolute control over her thoughts. And if tbey be impure, or mean, or shallow, or false, or ungen- erous, she alone is to blame.
