Thirty or forty years ago almost anybody ‘could have had it for the asking. To- day it is worth untol¢ millions, owing to the belated discovery that the whole sland is neither more nor less than a ,.i mass of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer - well known to agriculturists. In Con- ‘ception bay, Newfoundland, is Bell island, sold by its original owner ‘many years ago for $100. It changed hands again for $2,000,000. This enor- ‘mous rise in value was due to the dis- covery that the island is composed al- most entirely of iron ore. For years previously shipmasters had been in the habit of taking the heavy, easily handled rock for ballast, dumping it when they loaded up with cargo. Then one day & captdin more curious than the others had the strange-looking “rock” assayed and his fortune was made. e I Net of the Usual Sort. A woman who had lived in a cer- tain country town to an age at which her friends had scarcely assumed that she was likely to forsake her spinster- hood, suddenly surprised them by an- nouncing her engagement to a local / ‘bachelor who was considered rather eccentric. A friend of hers took it upon herself to express some lit{le surprise at the engagement, and when the fiancee replied: “But what is it In | him you don't like?” answered: “Oh, I don’t dislike him at all; it's only that everybody thinks him—wwell, not g exactly -eccentric, but, at any rate, | rather singular in many of his ways.” “That may be,” replied the prospec- tive bride, “but then, as'he is So very wnlike other men, he is surely more likely to make a good husband."— 1Vindsor Magazine, London. | [ SRS, | ccadilly’s Origin. i the g song such a vogue in 1814, re- ers to- Piccadilly, London, England.
