Discovered Great Gold
Mine North of Toronto
Gold prospecting is among the
world's romantic adventnres, and
there is no morq thrilling story in its
annals than that of the discovery of
the great Bollinger, mine, some 500
nall.es north of* Toronto, la Canada.
Thirteen years ago a young man, Ben
Hollinger by name, was tramping
through the low I>ush prospecting,
when his eyes happened -to alight upon
an outcrop of rock in a desolate waste.
He struggled over to it, and on ex
amination found It contained goid. "To
day the Hollinger mine rivals the
greets mfties of South Africa, and fast
year outstripped the greatest of them,
the New Modderfontelp, which had
previously held the world'* record for
gold output. It covers 400 -acrefc, and
below -Its rugged surface run nearly
45 miles of tunnels and un electric
railway system. The great rotils roar
day and night, and every month $7,-.
000,000 in gold leave# the refinery.
. There are n,ore than 2,000 men em
ployed In the mine, mostly working
underground, and they never see gold
at all. They are surrounded by gold,
yet all they see is the dirty' gray rock
being scooped up and taken to the re
finery. ' i
Gates Disproved Charge
That He Was Careless
John W. Gates' first large scale of
speculative venture, barbed wire. Is
what many would-be plungers find on
their Wall street raids. Late In the
last century Gates was the main back
er of two steel companies, Federal
Steel and* American Steel and Wire,
with a total capitalization of nearly
$200,000,000.
These! organizations were merged
with the United States Steel corpora
tion, but Gates was refused a place
with the new combination. He was
told his business methods were care
less, whereupon he .founded the Re
public Iron and Steel company, which
became a thorn In the side of the
United States Steel coinpany.
When Gates died In 1911 he left a
fortune of nearly $20,000,500, which
disproved allegations of slip-shop
methods and the assertion that ah
plungers eventually are wiped out ana
become objects of charity.—New York
Times. ,
Old bat Good
A young lady sat next to a distin
guished bishop at a church dinner.
She was rather awed by the bishop'*
presence. For some time she hesi
tated to speak to him. Finally, see
ing some bananas passed, tfke seized
the opportunity to start conversation
with blm and said: ,
"I beg your pardon, bat are yon
fond of bananas T'
- The bishop was slightly deaf, and
leaning toward her, replied:
"Pardon me, but what did you' say?"
"1 said," repeated the young lady,
blushing furiously, "do you like
bananas?"
The blsbop pandered tbe question
gravely for a moment, and then an
swered: "It is a curious question,
but If you wish my honest opinion,
I have always preferred the old-fash
ioned night shirt"—Harper's Weekly.
The Cheery Eskimos.
A Norwegian explorer has Just spent
15 years among the Eskimos of Green
land and Alaska, after which, with a
natural desire of change, he made for
Paris. Yet he main tallii an admirable
fidelity to his Eskimo friends. They
taih he assures the Parisians, many
. of superiority over the fnhab
of more genial climes. "They
fl[' turns to sing songs, In which they
s Wtee and ridicule each other to the
best of their ability." The man whose
phrases are the most mordant, whose
melodies are the most mocking, whose
voice tjest carries Invective, Is ad
judged to. have right on his side. What
more Is needed to -prove that the Eski
mos are ruled by the loftiest Ideals of
civilization T —London Daily Telegraph.

Few Ever Give Up Hopm
In certain offices In /Wall street
there's an axiom, "Oace a. sucker, al
ways a sucker." Those who nuke
their living by catching sudors dojjot
cross from their lists the names of
individuals who have met with losses,
because losses do not cure. ,
There was proof ot- this only re
cently. The receiver of a bucket shop
which closed some time «go received
a $75 check through the mall with as
order to buy certain. securities. Ex
amining the check, the received found
that it was a dividend check the cue- .
tomer had received when another
bucket shop was closed. It represented
all he Jiaji from the wreck, i
But without even bothering to cash It, I
he endorseq it and sent It along.
That chetit came from the Middle j
West. But there are suckers in New
York also, that same receiver a few
days later received a check and a buy
ing order. The check was for S4OO.
The sender was aßroadwny merchant.
The otder was not executed, however,
as the firm he addressed had failed a
year before.
"Apparently there's not only one
born every minute, but they never
die," said the receiver as he dictated
a letter to accompany the returned
check. *

First Telephone Users
Unable to Find Ears
In 1877 one of most important
and difficult parts of the work of in
troducing'the telephone into a com
munity was teaching the subscriber the
correct way of using a telephone.
Tbis still has Its Importance and
Its difficulty. So there is value as
well as amusement In the experience
of one of the earliest of telephone
pioneers, who Introduced the telephone
Into Delaware, fie says In an, account
of those days:
"In 1877 and 1878 very few people
bad seen a telephone and fewer still
had used It, so that after a subscriber
bad been secured It required consider
able effort to lmpreas upon bim the
most efficient' way to use It The peo
ple did not know, It seems, where their
ears were, tn fact an editor said to
me one «day: Ton should' have some
one Instruct Mr. how to use that
telephone you have put In for htm.
He has rubbed the hair off the side of
his head trying to flad' his ear;"*—

"My hoy," he fsaid, "can yon

"Yes, sir," was the quick reply of
the boy, scenting a tip. "Come right
frith me, sir,"
With this the boy entered an adja
cent'doorway and started to climb -the
difficult stairs. Up fear ■ flights he
went 'the. visitor breathlessly follow

door.
"This is the floar,V_ said the boy,
wistfully looking for the coin. "Mr.

"Looks' as If we had had bard lack,"
remarked the visitor, peering Into the
room. "Mr. LlnkoTltcti doesn't appear

boy. "That Was him set tin' down on

that some substitute for them be.pco

Tuberculin Test-Should
Be Applied to Ail Stock
Since tuberculosis continues to he
probably the most important disease
affecting man and the lower animals,
causing in man alone, one-tenth of the
deaths from all causes and occasion
ing an economic loss .in the United
States of over J290,000,500 annually, a
few facts relative to the present status
of this disease may he opportune.
* X. The disease is caused by a spe
cific germ so small that a magnifica
tion of nearly 1,000 diameters is nec
essary in order to see It distinctly.
2. It Is possible to .isolate .the germ
from both man and animal tissues af
fected with tuberculosis and to grow
same on artificial media.
S. The germ of tuberculosis Is quite
resistant to many of the natural Influ
ences that affect bacteria and if em
bedded in sputum will withstand the
direct rays of the sun for 24 hours or
longer. In dark recesses at low tem
perature, the germs may live for* many
months and even a 5 per cent strength
of carbolic acid requires 24 hours to
effect destruction of these organisms.
4. In addition to man, practically all
auraimallans are susceptible.
5. Among the lower animals the dis
ease is most frequently seen in cattle
mnd hogs. Horses snd sheep are rare
ly affected.
8. In man the disease may Involve
the lungs, (pulmonary tuberculosis; ,
consumption), the Intestines; be cent
fined to the lymph glands, or the skin,
or it may be localized In the bones and
Joints.
7. It is a very commou disease of
chickens, although turkeys and pigeons
also frequently suffer from it Ducks,
and geese do not appear to be suscept- j
lble.
8. Fowls apparently do not contract
the disease from diseased cattle, al-i
though swine may do so.
9. Heredity plays but a very minor
part in the transmission or communi
cation of this disease.
10. Tuberculosis may be contracted
by Inhaling air contaminated with the
germs, or by the organism gaining en
trance into the digestive tract with
various articles of food, particularly
mllfc.
11. Cattle are frequently affected
with both the Intestinal and lung
forms. The udder of cattle is not an
uncommon location for the disease.
12. A large share of the cases In
children showing the Intestinal form
of the disease is due to the tubercle
germ of bovine origin being transmit
ted through milk from diseased. anir
13. Animals may be fairly "rottea"
with the disease without any symp
toms being manifest
14 Tuberculosls ia eattle, swine and
fowls can be diagnosed -with,a high
degree of accuracy by means, of ,the
tuberculin test. The ones showing a
positive reaction should be disposed
of at once:
IS. Tuberculosis la a preventable
disease 'and will decrease In preva
lence with the development of sanita
tion, personal hygiene, supervision of
the production and distribution. of
milk by health officers; veterinary In
spection of all meat products designed
for food; and the universal applica
tion of the tuberculin test to all cattle,
but particularly those supplying milk
for human consumption.—William H.
Feldman, Pathology Section, Colorado
Experiment Station.
