HONEST MAN FOUND

Gives Police Money He Picked Up in Gutter in New York. Israel Neboschik, the “Lucky” Finder, Will Send Happy Girl’s Reward to Poor Old Wojnan *in Old Country. New York.—lsrael Neboschik, who sells men's clothing at 163 Rivington street, made a great find in front of his shop. From the gutter he picked up ,an envelope containing 3200 tn bills. To find such a fortune knocking about in the gutter .in Rivington street is no every-day occurrence. What Israel did with it was more unusual still. He took the money and envelope to the Delancey street police station. Lieutenant Brady and the detective of the station found their faith in humanity increase when Neboschik told them that he had found the money; that he had thought some poor woman might have lost it —the savings of years—and he wanted to leave it for the owner. Lieutenant Brady thought that he had made the discovery on which" Diogenes had wasted his life, and he said as much. Up in the Bronx lives Miss Molly Brambiar. She works tn a costume establishment in West Twenty-ninth street. It is part of her work to get the money from the bank to pay off the girls for the week. Now if Miss Brambiar had gone to the bank, got that money and brought it back, to the shop in Twenty-seventh street, there most likely would have been no envelope kicking around In the gutter in Rivington street and nobody outside of his few friends would have known what a square man Neboschik really Is. But Molly didn’t go herself, whether It was too hot or whether she had something better to do, It doesn’t matter. She sent one of the new errand girls for it The new girl went to the bank, got the money and put it in an envelope and started back toward the shop in Twenty-seventh street. But when she got there, the envelope was gone. And all the scolding of the boss and all Molly’s crying couldn’t get it back. Nobody had the faintest hope that anybody as square as Neboschik would find it. . Molly Brambiar read in the paper about the finding of 3200 in Rivington street and she knew right away that it must be the money belonging to her shop. She rushed for the subway as fast as she could and then to the Delancey street station. The envelope had been sent to old headquarters at 300 Mulberry street, so she had to go there to claim it. With the money safe in her possession and a feeling of relief in her heart she started out to find Neboschik. He was in his shop selling celluloid collars to a customer. "Jfr. Neboschik,” she said, "I think

SEE WONDERS OF SEA

Many Curious Specimens of Marine Life at Los Angeles. United States Ship Albatross Completes Remarkable Trip With Many Scientists on Board—What They Secured. Los Angeles. Cal.—The United States ship Albatross has just completed a most remarkable trip. With a corps of scientific men on board the vessel made an expedition down the southern coast of California, round the peninsula and back to San Francisco. And the return trip was not made empty handed, for treasures and curios of the sea came back with them. < The party. In addition to the chief, Dr.'C. H. Townsend, acting director of the American Museum of Natural History In New York, Included Dr. J. N. Rose of the National Museum In Washington, botanist; Dr. Paul Barsch, also of the National Museum, zoologist; Waldo Schmidt, assistant naturalist of the Albatross, and Messrs. Anthony and Osborn, well known west coast collectors. The Albatross cruised along the coast of Lower California, stops being made at Guadaloups Island, San Benita, San Bartolome Bay, Bay San Cristobal, San Roque Island, Point Abrojos and many other places of importance, and then passed on Into the Gulf of California, going as far as Tiburon Island and the Angel de la Guarda islands. Several. adult elephant seals were killed at Guadeloupe Island, brought on board the ship and put Into brine to preserve them, while six of the younger animals were captured alive. The, full grown elephant seal Is about 22 feet long and has a snout or nose closely resembling that of an elephant At Guadeloupe Island also the party found excellent opportunities for research and exploration. Here, too, they obtained a fine collection of rare birds, mollusks and plants. Following along the coast and making frequent landings, and making during the trip 25 deep sea hauls with the dredge, ranging from 400 to 1,071 fathoms (2,400 to 0,425 feet), many interesting klpds of fish and other interesting specimens of marine life wore secured. Brought up with the deepest haul were several kinds of deep sea fish, /Jve kinds of crimson prawn, one with blue eggs; many .worms that live In herd tubes and one

GUARDING LAND AGAINST CHOLERA

NEW YORK.—Dr, Alvah H. Doty, .health officer of the port of New York, has his hands full these days. Not only does much of the responsibility for keeping Astatic chplera out of the country rest on him, but his .department is under fire also. Serious charges made against it are being investigated by a committee appointed by the governor.

you are the most hjonest man in the world. You must take a reward." Neboschik said be did not want any reward. “If you want to buy some-thing—-well, all right,” he said. Molly looked over the stock, but found nothing that seemed quite > enough, as a mere purchase, to pay Neboschik all she thought she owed him. So she said: "Mr. Neboschik, it is late and I must be getting to work. lam going to leave this for you. You must takelt." She laid a five-dollar bill on the counter. Then she went back to the store in West Twenty-seventh street, where the boss promptly forgave her for not getting the money herself tn

great starfish, as well as several brittle stars. , On Carmen Island the party discovered a wonderful salt pond, on which there was a coating of salt four to five Inches thick. The crust is removed in thick flakes and when ground produces salt, of an exceeding fineness. This salt is shipped in large quantities. What is believed to be a new species of mountain sheep was discovered on the west side of Concepcion Bay. The Scientists were not able to get close enough to observe these animals carefully or to capture them, but obtained three sets of horns from natives of the place.

DISCOVERS A NEW DYESTUFF

Prof. Hodgson Gives Bradford City Council an Asset Said to Ba of Groat Commercial Value. London. —The Bradford City council is tn the enviable position of being the owner of a new process of dyeing, which is expected to be of the greatest commercial value. Three years ago the Bradford Technical college appointed Dr. H. H. Hodgson as lecturer on chemistry, with the specific duty of carrying on investigations in applied chemistry which should keep Bradford as an Industrial community abreast of modern developments. , Prof. Hodgson Is understood to have discovered a new dyestuff, which has been provisionally protected under the patent laws and meanwhile the city council has been called upon to decide what shall be done with the new municipal asset. . t Three suggestions have been made. One Is to sell the patent rights outright, another Is to have the discovery worked on a royalty principle, and the third Is that It be worked directly by the corporation. The lastnamed suggestion has been declared Impracticable, a sub-committee, composed of men prominently connected with Bradford trade, has been appointed, with power to deal with the matter. Having regard to the financial and commercial importance of precious discoveries, such as aniline dyes, Bradford ratepayers are looking for-' ward with eager interest to further developments. Prof. Hodgson was a poor scholar at a Bradford elementary school, and won a scholarship which took him to the secondary school, and thence to Cambridge university.

the first place. They were so glad to get it back and all so surprised at what had happened, they were even ready to forgive the new errand girl who had lost IL “What are you going to do with IL Israeli” asked Morris Socoloff, who has a pushcart near Neboschlk’s store. "Keep it?" “No," said Israel. “I think I do not keep it I think I know pretty well what to do with it There is an old countrywoman of mine, back in the old country. She has a husband who is no good and he sends her no money at all. I think I just send it to her. You like that?” “It would make one fine present all right,” said Morris.

PREFERS HIS “KID” BROTHER

Maid of 35 Throws Over “Octo” for a "Septua”—Rejected Suitor Quits His Old Haunts. New York.—Courted by two brothers, both widowers, one 76 years old, the other 83, Miss Ella Klssam of Halesite, L. 1., has chosen the younger, and in a few days, it is announced, she will become the bride of Capt Charles E. Sammis of Huntington. A license has been issued by Stanton E. Sammis, town clerk of Huntingion. ... The rejected suitor, Rinaldo Sammis, Is so downcast, it is said, that he has quit his ancient haunts on the north shore and has retired to the umbrageous seclusion of Freehold, N. J. Miss Klssam Is only 35 and a prospective heiress. She was long sought by eligible bachelors and widowers even younger than herself, but her heart soon inclined to the two Sammlsses. When the grizzled skipper and his brother visited the Klssams several months ago. at their winter home in Morehead City, N. C., it was known to their friends the brothers would not return north until one had won the hand of Miss Ella. Though the captain is fairly well to do, Rinaldo has more money. Land he dwned was bought in a suburban real estate “boom." His cornfields have been cut into building lots, and friends refer to him as the “farmer millionaire.** Oscar Kissam, father of the bride-to-be, was called “the dynamite boss’* of Long Island because of his extensive operations as a contractor. When the two Sammlses went to Morehead City tfeey were the best of friends, and they bantered each other on their expectation. But when they came back to the north and Rinaldo heard the news from the captain. It is said the loser left the train at the first stopping place and waited for another one. The captain’s friends at Huntington are getting ready to serenade him.

SURF RIDING IS FINE

Kanaka stands amidst the SWIFT RUNNING WAVES. Jack London’s Vivid Description of “”-TfiTS~Sbuth Sea Amusement as Practiced at Waikiki Beach. Much has been written the native sport of surfriding in the South seas, but the following description from London’s “Cruise of the Snark,” is novel and very vivid. The locality referred to is Waikiki beach, near Honolulu: The trees ,grow right down to th© Salty edges of things, and one sits in their shade and looks seaward at a majestic surf thundering in on the beach to one’s very feet. Half a mile out, where is the reef, the white heading combers thrust suddenly skyward out of the placid turquoise blue and come rolling in to shore. And suddenly, out there where a big smoker lifts skyward, rising like a seagod from out of the weltef of spume and churning white, on the ’giddy, toppling, overhanging- . and downfalling, precarious crest appears the dark head .of a man. Swiftly he rises through the rushing white. His black shoulders, Ms chest, his loins, his limbs—all is abruptly projected on one’s vision. Where but the moment before was only the wide desolation and invincible roar, is now a man, erect, full statured, not struggling frantically in that wild movement, not buried and crushed and buffeted by those mighty monsters, but standing above them all, calm and superb, poised on the giddy summit, his feet burled in the churning foam, the salt smoke rising to his knees, and all the rest of him in the free air and flashing sunlight, and he is flying through the air, flying forward, flying fast as the surge on which he stands. He is a Mercury—a Mown Mercury. His heels are winged, and in them is the swiftness of the sea. In truth, from out of the sea he has leaped upon the back of the sea, and he is riding the sea that roars and bellows and cannot shake him from its back; But no frantic outreachin* and balancing is his. He is impassive, motionless as a statue carved suddenly by some miracle out of the sea’s depths from which he rose. And straight on toward shbre he flies on his winged heels and the white crest of the breaker.. There is a wild burst of-foam, a long multitudinous rushing sound as the breaker falls futile and spent at your feet; and there, at your feet steps calmly ashore a Kanaka.

Green Turtles of Indian Ocean.

Concerning the great turtles of the Southwest Indian ocean a traveler says: “The chelonian, or green turtle (Chelone mydas), is an animal of considerable economic importance to the atoll, for it still occurs in the vast hordes which are so often described by early voyagers in the tropics. There appear to be two distinct groups one resldeat and small in numbers, the other migratory and visiting the atoll to breed in numbers impossible to estimate.

“The latter arrives in December, and from then to April the sea seems alive with turtle. The females seek the/small sand beaches and then ascend them with the rising tide, pushing themselves laboriously above high tide mark. Holes are then dug in the sand by means of the fore flippers until a satisfactory one is obtained, and the eggs, 200 in number, are buried, the turtle returning to sea immediately. “After forty days the eggs hatch, almost simultaneously, and the young turtles dig their way up out of the sand and go down to the sea in a long procession in the course of which they offer an easy prey to their enemies, the frigate birds and herons. Once in the sea sharks and other large fish eat them, and only 10 per cent, reach maturity.”

Smoke Dissipated.

The practical way to obviate the annoyance of smoke Is to dissipate it before it leaves the chimney top in a gaseous volume. A German professor believes he has found a way to secure this result without chemical or mechanical aid. Described In Die Umschau, the professor’s chimney Is perforated on all sides by what might be called little horizontal windows. As the furnace smoke and gases rise they are mixed with air, both before and after emergence, by the eddy forming action of the wind passing- through the openings, x From the time the smoke enters the chimney and reaches the height of the lower openings, which receive the wind from any quarter, the intermingling begins, and in each stage of Its upward movement the volume becomes less and less. At the mouth of the chimney the outpour is comparatively small and so diluted with air that only a sheet of dark blue smoke waving like. a flag to the leeward Is seen, where, under other conditions, there would be a cioudlike column of dense black smoke a mile long. Chimneys constructed on the professor’s plan look not unlike windowed towers.

A Cool Costume,

Rather startling is the announcement In a seaside paper that “tan shoes are very much worn this summer. Hundreds of the cottages wear nothing else.” A pair of tan shoes certainly makes a very cook costume.

EL CAMILO OF WEST POINT

Ancient Spanish Cannon That Was Captured by the American Troops. at Monterey. Among the old guns from past wars on Trophy Point there is one that is fondly remembered by every graduate of the West Point military academy. It is “El Camilo,” literally” “The Camel,” a relic of the Mexican war, but dating far back of that. This antiquated piece of ordnance, which is three parts silver and painted a light green, bears its name and the royal coat of arms of Spain over an inscription relating that it was the property of the Regiment of the Golden Fleece, commissioned under Ferdinand and Isabella at the time when Columbus set out on his famous voyage to discover a new world. It would be interesting to know what the Spanish grandees would have thought if they could have foreseen that the very cannon which probably thundered Godspeed to the explorer would one day be captured by the unborn nation of the undiscovered continent to which Columbus was bound. The ancient gun was probably brought to Mexico as part of the armament of a Spanish ship, and many years later was pressed into service in the Mexican army, where the “sinews of war” were always at a premium. It was taken at Monterey by the Americans and sent to West Point as the most appropriate place for such an interesting relic. In former years it was mounted and pointed its tapering, old-fashioned muzzle out over the glassy Hudson just as wickedly as It did when the gunners of the old Spanish regiment used to send the fire leaping from its throat, but lately it has been dismounted and laid with other trophy guns in a long row on the grass, where it affords a seat for the tired excursionist.

Rubber Paving.

The prophecy of the president of the rubber exhibition, held at the Agricultural hall, that the time will soon come when the price of rubber would be low enough to make rubber paving an accomplished fact in the streets of London, is excellent hearing. Whenever one comes across one Or othqr of the few specimens of rubber paving which are to be found at present in the metropolis, one experiences a sense of grateful relief. But up till now a wider use of this material for such a purpose has been prohibited by the question of expense, although It has been thoroughly recognized that as a substitute for the ordinary materials used in paving the streets, rubber offers enormous attractions. If it could be employed in large quantities in certain localities, London, one imagines, would be a happier place. For there is no doubt that, as things are, the increase of traffic must be attended with increase of noise, and that, though Londoners may become dulled, by painful habit, to the ceaseless roar, the nerves of the community are certainly, even if unconsciously, in a state of tension. At the same time, however, we trust that the evil will not now be allowed to go unchecked simply because there is a chance that the adoption of rubber paving is likely to cure it in the future. —London Globe.

Prehistoric Art.

On the side of a steep down in th© old town of Cferne Abbas, Dorset, England, a huge figure of a man appears cut deeply in the hard turf. It* is a creation of a period hidden in th© mists of antiquity. The body resembles that of the simian, the arms are unusually long and outstretched, as are ,the legs.; The right hand grasps the handle of an enormous chib, and the general attitude suggests pursuit of game. The head seems sunk between the shoulders, and the face, which is roughly cut, exhibits an uncanny leer. Students of types attribute “the giant,” as the Dorset figure is called, to the bronze age. The figure has been cared for throughout the centuries of its existence. Originally it is supposed to have been regarded as bringing good luck to the people during the Celtic and early English epochs. It receives attention now on account of its quaintness and age. The Dorset giant is Incised in the turf after the manner of the Long Man of Wilmington and the Whit© Horse of Berkshire and elsewhere. The turf is so hard that the outlines of th© figure have been preserved intact for many centuries.

Remarkable Feat of Aged Man.

A wonderful feat Of endurance has Just been accomplished by an old man, ninety-two years of age, named Herbst, who returned' to his native town of Zurich the other morning. Lately he set out on foot from Zurich for the Tyrol, on receiving a letter that his mother, aged one hundred and fourteen, was dying in a village near Innsbruck. ( Herbst did not havo sufficient money for the railway fare, but he knew the country and the mountain passes, and he decided to undertake the long Journey alone. He found his mother dead, but was to time to be present at her funeral. After a week’s rest the old man started back for his Swiss home over the same route. He says he will never cross the mountains again. He was formerly a guide In the Tyrol.

The Mountain Tops of Joy and Valleys of Depression

wr TIS very pleasant at ttmea aHBKi to climb the mountaintops v of Joy and fro,Q som ® Mount Pisgah to view the landscape beneath. There is joy in so doing, and our souls feel refreshed. As a rule it la far superior than dwelling in the vaf leys of depression. The mountain tops of joy are just the thing on which to take a joy-resL' It is my delight to tarry there and to enjoy the spiritual scenery. How delightful it Is to leave all care behind and to take a bath in the quietude and grandeur of somewhere your meditations are not disturbed and where only the whisper-! Ings of nature come to your heart! and ears. Theire is joy on such mountain tops that cannot be expressed in words. Such a place Is the place In which to sing the praises of God and count over his many mercies. An hour spent there is most refreshing to both body and soul. If you dot not believe me try it once, and my; word for it, you will be anxious to tryit again. Drawn Nearer to God. But I am nqt certain if such enjoyment is as beneficial as the experiences often received in the valley of depression. It takes all kinds of situations to make strong men and women. In the valleys of depression there are many things that draw us nearer to God; our hearts are softened and we renew our Intentions to live nearer to him. The valley of humility is a good place in which to grow, in grace and cultivate repentance.’ What a beneficial change is brought about by internal examinations while! dwelling in some valley. It is alwaysi well to know thyself, and what place; is better calculated to do it in than ini the valley of humility? A residence! for a short season in that valley hasi the effect of making the mountain! tops more enjoyable when you get there. It Is always after a severe storm that the sunshine Is best appreciated. No real sorrows mean no real joys. Coming out of darkness! into light Is a pleasure we all enjoy.; The shadows of troubles have their! use, and blessed is the man or woman! who can profit by them. I know as well as any man how de-‘ lightful it is to live en mountain tops;! but, nevertheless, I have , often felt that a residence in some valley 1» good for my soul; for it has the effect, of putting down spirtual pride and of’ making new resolutions to serve Godi more faithfully in the future. / A tumble from a mountain of joy into some valley is not very pleasant,’ but It is yours to rise up again on! pinions of faith and enjoy the luxuries again of being far away from the world and all of its’ sorrows and cares. What you like and what Is best for you are two different things.' Godi knows best, so be content and trust hint always. Profit From Hard Lesson. There are lessons to be learned both on the mountain tops of joy and in the valleys of depression. Learn your lessons well and profit from them. A change is good. To live always on the mountain tops of joy would stunt you, and to live continually in the valleys of depression would be injurious to you. After bathing in the cold waters of depression what a happy change it is to bask on the hilltops of joy; to feel the presence of Christ and to have your mouth filled with praises. As, human beings we need change, and It will be well with us If we can get Into the habit of taking pleasant, ly an the circumstances that God surrounds us with. Rejoice and be glad that you have enough to eat, clothing to wear and a. home to reside In. Do not walk about with your head hung down, but lift up your eyes to Heaven and drink in, all the pure pleasures that come your way. In this world, in the language, . of the negro hymn, you will be “Sometimes up and sometimes down,” but, do not get discouraged, knowing that! your Father’s hand is ever extended 1 to keep you from falling. In my old days my testimony lai that goodness and mercy have followed me all the days of my putt life, and why should I not trust him the! remaining days of my existence?

The Beam In Your Own Eye.

Humanity Is inclined to creep on the Judgment seat, and Judges rashly or unjustly the character or conduct of others. It beehoves us best to behold and consider tfie beams In-, our own eyes, and look to Jesus pho gives us ths victory over all our weaknesses and failures by which we so often wound and weaken, or even cause our brethren or sisters to fall.

The Divorce Evil.

Who lessens the sacredneu of the marriage strikes a blow at the bulwarks of national freedom. Who tears down the home, tears down the nation, and from present Indications the divorce evil tends to accomplish this result.—Rev. A. LeVis, Ocnrrs. gatlonalist, Worcester, Mass
