Origin o f Precious Ores. Men omethnee dream of enormous wealth stored deep in the earth, below the reach of miners: hut, accord ing to nu eminent geologist, there is little or no ground t-> believe that valuable metallic deposits lie very deep lu the earth’s crust. Such deposits, according to tills authority, are made by underground water y and owing to the pressure on the rocks at great depths the waters are confined to a blicll near the surface. With few exceptions ore deposits become too lean to repay working below ".000 feet. Nine mines lu ten, taking the world as a whole, are poorer In the second thousand feet than In the first thousand and poorer yet in the third thousand than in the second.—Chicago Record-Herald.

! <aitb hu F)is faulte. By ETHEL BARRINGTON. Copyrighted, 1907, by M. M. Cuuninglmm. “Jealousy eats into happiness as acid destroys linen,” declared Knthufine Bententloualy. “Despite which epigram you will marry Kenneth Hadley," scoffed her friend. The two girls had paused at the corner of the street, where Katherine intended taking a car. It was not in sight, so she turned to tlntsh the discussion. “Why not?" she asked. “I am not the woman to give ground for jealousy, while Kenneth, on his part, knows 1 would never forgive unjust suspicion, which is what Jealousy amounts to. Real love Insures perfect trust and faith.” “With some natures, possibly. But Kenneth Hadley could no more help being jealous where he loves than he could stop breathing and live,” retorted Mildred. “Why, at the Meresdale euchre party every one but you could see”— “Then he must have concealed his feelings admirably,” declared Mr. Hadley’s fiancee, “for he said nothing to me.” “Some day lie will.” Katherlue Felix shook her head. “Doubt is degrading, and happiness cannot exist In its atmosphere. Mildred, I’ll he frank. Kenneth and I did once have a wretched understanding Which came near separating us. I warned him then that such scenes would kill whatever sentiment I cherished for him. In becoming Ids wife 1 do not relinquish my individuality, lie takes me, as i accept him, a soul matured, giving to him a closer intimacy than to auy other, yet with natural reservations. We come Into the world alone, depart alone. So must there always be silent places in our lives to which even the nearest can have no key.” Her friend, unconvinced, started to say goodby, but returned impulsively to the charge. “Theoretically, Katherine, there is truth in your argument. Jealousy is no temptation to you. Should you meet Kenneth walking with n girl I doubt If it would occur to you to even ask tier name. Your error is making secrets of nothing"— The other’s eye flashed resentfully. “You say that because I would not tell you where I am going now.” “Nonsense! It's none of my affair. But suppose you had met Mr. Hadley Instead?” “1 should have declined to explain.” Then, the emergency of her errand recurring to her mind, she added: "Hero comes my car. Goodby, Mildred. I wonder if It would not have been better had Kenneth met you first; you would have yielded to his exactions so graciously." With a smile at the other's Indignant protest, she motioned to tlie inotorman. Reaching her destination, she entered a large manufacturing establishment. Sending In her card to the advertising manager, she was at once shown into his private office. Half an hour Inter, returning home, she encountered Hadley, who plainly showed ids delight at the unexpected meeting. “What luck brings you to this part of town?” he Inquired. “Business,” was the light response. “Which, lu woman's vocabulary, means pleasure." A quick look showed he was conscious of the evasion, though ho did not press the point. “Wish I could return with you, but an appointment forbids. How dusty It is! Give me your handkerchief, Kathe. There’s a rude black smudge dangerously near your eye.” Katherine laughed and, feeling for her handkerchief without success, remarked that she must have dropped it somewhere, adding, “Use yours.” At his compliance she thanked him, nodded goodby and was gone. She was seated at the piano drawing soft melody from its keys in the mellow light of the shaded lamp when Hadley arrived. He watched her for some moments before she discovered his presence. Then she swung round gayly ou the stool, with extended hands. “Come and kiss me, which ceremony you omitted when we last met.” As he crossed toward her something in his expression made the girl draw hack from the invited caress. “What is the matter?” she asked. “I’ve brought back your property,” He tossed a crumpled bit of linen into her lap. A large K embroidered showed conspicuously In one corner. “My handkerchief! Thanks! Where did you find It?” "You ask that? Tell me rather what takes my promised wife to visit Charles Truax.” “I answer no question put In such a tone.” “It is my right to know.” The man’s eyes took angry measure of her resistance. "I put the same question this afternoon, and you evaded It. I thought when you Insisted on your rights and privileges that your little secrets were no concern of mine. What do I find? That you have been closeted in the private office of a married man, an old Hnino of yours. Truax refused an explanation. What have you to say? A woman of leisure, you cannot plead business In a factory as an excuse.” “You go too rar”— "No; It Is you! I love you ns my life, and you drive me mad with doubts. Knowing my weakness, you piny upon it. I will have the truth, or"— Katherine's face, gazing white and

passionless in his, arrested E!m. “Kathe,” he pleaded, “I can't stand it. Right or wrong, you must have no secrets from me. It’s torture’’— “Argument is useless, Keuueth”— Katherine’s voice was as cold as her look—“quite useless. If I told you this, there would he something else tomorrow. I am not the woman for you. You are uot the man for me.” “Did you love me as 1”— began the mau passionately. “It's uot a question of love,” returned the girl. "I’m uot going to allow you to spoil my life w ith your unbearable doubts, nor will 1 sacrifice my Individuality on the altar of your jealousy. We have gone through this before, and you l>ent down my reason by appealing to my affection. Now 1 choose to bo free, to put you out of my life once and for all.” In the days following Hadley strove to reopen the question, but Katherine would neither nuswer his appeals lu writing nor grant him an Interview, so adjust silence fell between them. Then tlie girl tried to take up her life where it had been broken into by the coming of Kenneth, tried to rejoice In her recovered freedom, but ns the weeks passed they grew heavier, dragging at her heart like the hall and chain ou the convict’s foot. She .suffered in a manner that she could neither understand nor have believed possible and grew resentful at the persistent aching and craving that possessed her. By night she tossed restlessly, insomnia her jailor, half choked with a grief to which she would give no outlet. She had resented Kenneth’s masterful claim on her and on her pursuits. Why, then, when tlds supervision was lifted was she not content? Love she believed subservient to individuality. When one or other must be sacrificed she had had no hesitation in her choice. She had made a fetich of ego, to Hud Id (lie end love had so undermined it that she was no longer an entity, sufficient to herself. Then succeeded days when, half desperate In her unhappiness, she nearly capitulated: hours when It seemed as though an irresistible force impelled her to Kenneth, but always pride rose forbidding, and she made no sign. “Kenneth sills Saturday," Mildred told her at List, risking a quarrel, having been forbidden to mention the name. “There being nothing to keep him here now,” she continued comfortably, “he may never return.” She watched with satisfaction the result of tills stab. “I’ve often wondered,” she persisted, “that you never regretted the break, hut it's too late now, so It’s better as It is." Katherine made no response, but that night she wept for the first time, and long hitler sobs washed away every feeling but tlie love that gave them birth. She realized now that over her love for Kenneth Ids faults had no control. Human nature is so frail that It must love and cling where it can In spite of weakness. Early Saturday, when Hadley was about to hoard an outbound vessel, a hand, thrust suddenly out of the half light, caught at his sleeve. lie turned at the touch. “Katherine!” No thickness of veil could disguise her In Ids eyes. There they stood, silent, incapable of speech, staring at each other. The man recovered first and drew her toward the end of tlie dock, where great packing cases afforded some seclusion. “You should not have come!" “I had to. I’ve been all wrong—and I wanted to tell you. I’ve been writing short stories—advertising ones, for different firms; that's why I went to Charles Trunx’s office. lie buys a number each year. No one knows. I didn’t want (hem to—you especially, until I could do something worth while. You’ll come hack—hack to America”— “How much do you mean by telling me this?” “As much ns you wish. 1—I’ve missed you so—your faults—my faults, what do they matter, Kenneth. I’m wretched without you—I”— Then Hadley understood. Only at the last moment had he sufficient presence of mind to get Ills trunk pulled off the steamer before she slipped her moorings. Kashgaria. There are few places in the world so difficult to get at ns Kashgaria. Though it lies In Chinese territory, the Journey from Peking occupies no less than six months. From India caravans take two months, having to cross meanwhile tlie three highest mountain ranges in the world by way of several passes measuring 18,000 feet above sea level. Then from the tail end of the Russian railway system In central Asia one may reach Kashgaria in throe weeks by several routes, all Involving the transit of difficult aud storm swept passes. Kashgaria is said to cover an area of 350,000 square miles—a statement that has little Interest until considered In relation to the proportion which Is cultivated by man. It Is startling to realize that human endeavor lias been capable of rendering fertile little more than a hundredth part and that nine-ty-nine hundredths of It Is irredeemable desert.—Blackwood's Magazine.

Why He Waited. The following story is told of the bishop of Sodor and Man's visit to Melton Mowbray some time ago, says the Philadelphia Inquirer: A brougham awaited him at the station, and he stepped Into It, expecting to he taken at once to his destination. To his surprise. however, the coacliiniiu sat motionless on (ho box without the least Intention, apparently, of leaving the station. At lagt the bishop Inquired why he was waiting. “Well, sir,” said the coachman. “I was told to wait for the Bishop of Sodor and Man. You’ve arrived, sir, and now I'm waiting for your man.”

or beautiful or both.

Yet there are few animals more useful In one way than snakes. If humanity alone prevented the killing of harmless snakes, how can we Justify it when they are proved to he useful to us? Consider the economic relation of a snake to an ear of corn or a row of potatoes. Snakes live almost entirely upon creatures which are destructive to growing things that is, they cat literally millions of insects, small mammals and worms. Espec ially are potato bugs, worms, files, beetles, maggots, ants, grubs, grasshoppers, locusts and the larvae of these the food of most of our snakes. Of considerably over eighty differ cut kinds of snakes found throughout the United Stales and exclusive of tin* rattlesnakes and mocassins there are but two which can lie termed danger ous. We exclude the rattlesnakes and the moccasins because all are large, easily recognized forms, which cannot be confused with harmless kinds. Living In water, the moccasins are not often troublesome to fanning regions aud are confined to the south from North Carolina around tin* gulf coast and the Florida peninsula and along the southern Mississippi, living in swamps. Tlie two really poisonous snakes which might lie mistaken for harmless ones are tlie copperhead and

tlie coral snake.

Of the two the copperhead only needs our attention. This truly poi sonous snake Is slender and lias few features to distinguish it from harm less milk snakes. It is found usually In rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars being a favorite spot. But it should not lie greatly feared, for unless at tacked or stepped on it will not bite, and It Is seldom found where there is cultivation of the ground in progress — St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

AMERICA’S MOUNTAINS.

Grander and Greater In Y'ariety Than the Old World's. North America lias suffered shamefully from Alpine arrogance. IP mas tors have looked up in glm iorles'• t’olo ratio, the ridges bu'ging faintly above the continental plateau; upon Bopo cntnpetl and Ids sister titans reaching isthmusward, upon the snowy dead craters of the Cascades, and pitied us Americans that our lauds offered mountain sport for none lint women and old men. Volcanoes? An Inferior sort of mountain. The Appalachians? Molehills. But on their continent are fields for climbing greater in variety, wider In appeal to every sort of mountaineer Alpinist included, than on any other of the world’s six areas and among the summits physically attainable proha bly the hardest In the world. The Himalayas, with greater real elevation. have bases of attack discountingly high, and the accepted Idea that thin air prevents climbing above 25,000 feet bars their tiptops If South Amor ica offers greater height and heroic weather, Alaska require* training In a sport quite new, a subarctic Alplnlng for which you must persist and endure like a polar traveler, work ax and rope, cordol or pack cayuscs across tundra.

All but Mount St. Ellis and Mount McKinley. 20.300 feet, the highest on the continent, are virgin. Mount Ix>gan, 19,500 feet, Is the world’s remain Ing Alpine problem. Swiss training alone will not win it. Climbers have avoided Alaska, oftener accepting challenges from Asia and the Andes. Alpinists must succeed in this ultimate field or come to judgment for their condescension. Alaska lacks only that prohibitive elevation for which you may ns well train In n laboratory vacuum.—Robert Dunn In outing Magazine.

A Comb In the Claw. Many birds posse s n useful comb In the claw of the middle toe of the foot. Tills has been noticed hi owls, nightjars, herons, bitterns, cormorants, gan nets, etc. It has been explained as a means of bolding tlie prey securely. Tlie comb is sometimes replaced by n carved blade with teeth, which run along the Inner side of the claw Such n blade Is found In razorbills, wild ducks, gulls, starlings and many other birds. Where a comb is required the Inner edge of this blade becomes divided into teeth. Young nightjars or goatsuckers have only the blade, but old ones have a well developed eotub.

Appropriately Named. The boy in the paint store dashed hurriedly up the cellar steps and sought the proprietor. “There’s a barrel leaking in the basement,” he cried, "ami the automobile stuff Is just pouring out.” “Why do you call It automobile stuff?” asked the proprietor. “Because,” gasped the youngster, “it’s running over everything In sight." —Judge.

was fixed at a few cents. There were two sets of tables. At one set the play was for money; at the other there was no stake. Guests were permitted to sit at the stake or no stake tables, as

they pleased.

Nearly all the guests had arrived aud selected their scats when a young man entered who took a chair opposite a young girl at one of the tables where there was no stake to he played for. On his left sat an elderly woman with a superior look; on his right, a middle aged man with a bald head, who seemed to regard the affair as a bore. The newcomer was delicately formed, strikingly handsome and with a winning voice and smile. The girl was what is called a Titian beauty - that is, with reddish golden hair and dark, liquid eyes. Tlie young man was not known to any one at the table, hut introductions in such eases are not required. He addressed the young girl modestly, yet confidently. As the play went on it was evident that she was falling under tlie spell of the many pleasant tiling:; lie said to her, tlie musical voice in which he said them, the glances that shot from his eyes. Indeed, Ids whole personality was fascinating and plainly devoted to iiiiprc sing her. Finally ho suggested that a game without a stake was uninteresting and proposed that they have a small one to consist of hut a cent n point. The opposing couple did not object, hut the Titian girl demurred. She ‘aid she was a member of a church tlinj prohibited both card playing and dancing. Site had attended the pnrtj not knowing there wore to be cards and had hcen persuaded to play only at the urgent request of the hostess, there being one vacant seat. The young man opposite her looked Into her eyes with ids, whereupon she took up the hard that lay before her, making no further objection. From that moment the cards seemed bewitehed. Whenever it came the turn of the Titian girl to play dummy she Invariably played “without a trump," which in bridge whist counts twelve points for each trick above six. She usually won most of the tricks, often taking them all, making w hat Is called a grand shun aud counting a bonus. Besides, she and tier partner always won the rub game, which gave them an extra hundred points. This was all the more remarkable since she bad never played the game before. Occa sioually her opponents would take up a good hand and “double,” upon which she would “go back," which is the term for doubling the double. This doubling and redoubling would often go ou till the original count had been multiplied by six. The only person at the table having ordinary bauds was (he young man who had suggested playing for a slake. But, while he took no Important part in the game himself, the others seemed to feel that all this high (day original ed through some mysterious Infiuence emanating from hint, one by one the players at the other tallies ceased to play and, noticing (hat there were large hands and a large count at the table where sat the girl with the Titian hair, stood watching the game. One of these onlookers by mental process counted tlie score aud noticed that she and her partner were w luncrs of a considerable sum. Her partner sat facing a corner with his back to the room full of guests, so that his face could not be seen. The host, noticing persons about liis table, advanced, looked at him aud. not recognizing him, thought that he was some friend of his wife's to whom lie had not been introduced. Then tlie hostess saw him and fancied he must lie some friend i>f her husband's. Everybody was inquiring who he was, and no one could give iu format ion. At last there arose a whispering and a murium Ing. The Titian girl was known to most of the guests as an example of probity, but here she was playing for stakes that had been raised from a cent to a dollar, her eyes blazing and her cheeks red with excitement, her partner a man whom nobody knew and of whom everybody was suspicious. Another estimate was made of tlie winnings, and they wore found to reach far up into the hundreds of

dollars.

Presently a clergynsin joined the onlookers. He was an Episcopalian, aud a gold cross glistened on ids breast. He stood directly opposite the young stranger, who, on looking up, espied the cross. In a twinkling every member of the card party seemed released from Ids enthrallnicnt. Ills opponents threw down their cards and arose, with nu angry look. The Titian girl leaned back In her chair aud covered her face with her hands. The strange young man paled, half arose and, muttering something about having promised to he at home early, slunk away through the crowded rooms. A moment later carriage wheels were heard rolling rapidly away. The baldheaded opponent took up the score, figured up his loss, felt nervously In Ids pockets, whispered something to the host and left the room. Ills partner, exclaiming, "Well, I declarer' also stalked away. The Titian girl after sitting for a few moments with her face covered withdrew tier hands and looked dazedly at those standing about, when her mother approached and. like a storm cloud, swept her away. As for the stranger, he never appeared to claim his share of the winnings, nor was he heard of ever afterward. f. A. MITOHBL.
