In many copper mines the richer bod ies of ore have been exhausted, and the remaining rock is of a character too poor in metal to repay the expense of bringing it to the surface and working it for its metallic contents. It has been suggested that an electrolytic process will be able to glean copper from such mines within the minimum of expense and labor. Platinum is peculiarly the electri cian's metal. Its quality of resisting oxidation indefinitely and its ability to make a tight joint with glass when fused into the body of that material or even through the thin wall of an X ray tube make it absolutely invaluable, and no dth'er material can take its pliirce tbr these uses.

One of the Inexplicable Mysteries of Enropean History. During February, 18-9, Alexandre Gri bojedoff, Russian minister to Teheran, was assassinated in a peculiarly horrible manner. The war between Russia and Persia, in which Russia had won the vic tory, had just ended, and Gribojedoff, who was a celebrated dramatic author, was sent as minister to the defeated country. Xo sooner did he reach Teheran than the clergy of the city urged the pop ulace to attack liim, ami the result was that on Feb. 20 a mob broke into the le gation and murdered him, as well as .'lO other persons who formed part of his retinue. Quickly the news spread to St. Peters burg, and the czar determined that Per sia should pay heavily for the cHme. A rigid investigation was at once started and when it was over 40 residents of Te heran were condemned to death and were duly executed and 30.000,000 rubles were awarded by Persia to the relatives of the murdered minister as an ty. That this was a wholesome lesson for Persia is proved by the fact that ever *ince then foreign ministers have treated with marked respect In that cmitf try. , A more remarkable occurrence was the murder of two French envoys, whieh. took place at Rastatt in April, A' congress had been in session in this little town for the purpose of settling the dif ferences between France and Germany and Austria. So far as Germany was concerned, an amicable agreement was arrived at, but France and Austria re mained at loggerheads, and consequently the French envoys, finding that they could accomplish nothing, resolved to re turn at once to Paris. They lmd arrang ed to leave Rastatt at noon, but for some unaccountable reason the gates of the town were closed at that hour and were not reopened until late in the evening. Fearing nothing, the envoys and their retinue got into their eight coaches and drove off. Hardly had they gone a mile, however, when they were.stopped' by a troop of hussars, presumably Austrians, who ordered them to leave their car riages. A conflict then ensued, in which two envoys. Bonnier and Roherjolt, were killed, while the third, Dubey, was- so badly wounded that his life was despair ed of for some time. After murdering the two envoys the hussars paid no fur ther attention to the less important mem bers of their retinue, but rode off, and from that day to this no one has been able to li»d out who was responsible for the murders. The Austrian cabinei has been blamed and so have French cmi;.-: ,;n: \ the direct ory, England and Quet n ( .i.-olljie of Na ples, but the requisite proof of ■ ilt has not yet been found, ami the general opin ion is that the murders at Ksstatt will re main one of the inexpli -a 1 ic tuy.-.U ri> s of history.—New York llerald. When It C'unie, He tinve the Informa tion Waiiiiil. In the early days of steambouting on the Ohio river they had only stern wheel boats, and old Commodore McCullough of Cincinnati conceived a scheme to build and launch a palace "side wheeler" which would by grace of her beauty and size "run the stern wheelers out of the trade." He carried his ideas to a successful and beautiful finish and sent her on her initial trip, and she came back SBOO loser. The natives along the river would not ship on her nor would they ride on her nor trust their live stock on her. They "couldn't see the wheel go round." So the Flora Belle made trip after trip, burning from SBOO to SI,OOO worth of coal and taking in perhaps S2OO. The newspapers took it up, and it was street talk about what a "frost" the Flora Belle was. Everybody from banker to boot black knew the tale. At this time the old National theater on Sycamore street was the bon ton theater of Cincinnati, and its gallant men and lovely women thronged the performances. One night the commodore attended, and as he en tered there was a series of nudgings and whisperings. "There's the commodore!

Here is one of the prettiest and most | characteristic stories of Mrs. Gladstone I ever heard, says T. P. in "Mainly J About People." Just after she was married her hus- j band, who had already been a minister,' put to her the question: "Shall I tell you I nothing, and you can say anything? Or! shall I tell you everything, and you suy nothing?" She chose the latter of the alternatives, and he told her everything, and she nev er told anything—except once. Two cab inet ministers were dining with her hus band. then also a member of the cabinet, and something wa r mentioned the de tails of which were known only to mem bers of the cabinet and to such of their wives as were trusted with their secrets. Mrs. Gladstone said or did or looked something which revealed that she knew. At once there was flashed upon her from the brilliant black eyes of her husband one of those terrible looks he could give. It was a silent but an affrighting re- ! proof. When the dinner was over and 1 Mrs. Gladstone went up to the drawing room, she had a good old fashioned cry I and wrote down a little note of apology to her husband. He scribbled back a re ply. It was something like these terms: "You are always right. You could not do wrong. Never mention it again." Mr. Gladstone of course forgot all [ about it uutil one day when he Was j showing some of his old letters to some I guests at Ilawarden Mrs. Gladstone dis- ' appeared and, coming down With a little bundle, said she also had her little treas ures of the past which she must show, | and then out came this little note'— faded, j scarcely legible, preserved tkrifcnighout i half a century of common life—of joy and suffering and greatness together.

Although during the colonial period and the times immediately following municipal architecture of real merit be found, it was not until com i paratively recently that people went systematically to work to realize the i "city beautiful." As in many other things the Quaker City was pioneer. : In .June, 1871, was founded the Fair aiotfnt Park Art association for the ! purpose of raising funds to purchase works of art for Fairmount park. Since that time almost every citizen of n<jte In Philadelphia has been a member of the association, contribut ing by annual dues and voluntary gifts !to ?hc embellishment of the park, i whlfcli, iu a few years, will boast of 1 more works of art than any other in the wwld It Is proposed to secure a good example of the best work of ev ery eminent sculptor. Thirty-one works of art already have been placed in the park. The association, moreover, has on hand memorials to Robert Morris ! and Ericsson, besides the splendid l Smith memorial. The latter, a monu- I ment to Pennsylvania heroes of the 1 civil war. Is being built from a fund of $500,000 left for the purpose by Mr. Richard Smith. The finances of the association are In a very flourishing condition. It has Just succeeded in raising a permanent endowment fund of SIOO,OOO, the inter est of which Is to be devoted to further embellishing Fairmount park. Yearly dues of $5 are paid by nearly all the 1,400 members. Associate members, paying $1 a year, are now admitted, and children may enter as cadets for 50 cents. The most prominent citizens of Philadelphia participate in the work. Such an organization may well be taken as a model and encourage us by Its success.

SpnrtnnlturK'" frogreu—llow u Thriving City (irew. , The growth of the cotton manufac turing industry in the south iiy„r.q<jent years has been by leaps and bounds, and nowhere is this more apparent than In Spartanburg county, S.; C., sometimes called the Lowell of the south. Uninformed visitors may be dispose*/ to smile at the adoption of the de scription, "Lowell of the south." L w ell does not, suiile at it, for this is the great cotton .manufacturing center of the south, the country that has set the example which other counties are fol lowing with advantage and great prof- It. Augusta, Ga., talks with pride of her 200,000 spindles; Columbia, with scarce live years' experience in cotton manufacturing iu real earnest, also boasts of 200,000 spindles and a prom ise of speedy increase; Spartanburg county calmly shows the record of 24 cotton mills, capitalized at $5,110,200, with 410,040 spindles and 12,454 looms, turning into cloth about 250,000 bales of cotton each year. Each mill is a history in itself of the progress of the industrial movement in South Carolina. But all of them ac knowledge an influence, the wisdom and sagacity of a leader who pointed out the way with a confidence, fore sight, energy and ability that entitle him to the honor in which his mem ory is held—D. E. Converse, a Vir ginian, born in 1828, who was the pioneer In cotton manufacturing In that part of South Carolina. These great mills have made of a once diminutive but pleasant town a large and thriving one, with a future that must be full of comfort to those who choose to settle down here almost under the shadow of the hills of the Blue Kidge. Iu IS7O the population was 1,070. In 1890, after the develop ment of cotton spinning and weaving had begun. It had increased to 5,500. Judging by the public school attend ance it Is now considered a moderate estimate to put the population at 17,- 000. With the Influx of builders, of mill operatives, of persons interested In the direction of new enterprises, all sorts of business have marched along until now the number of wholesale houses Is impressive, and the Increase In the number of churches and schools and the quality of all such structures tell of the prosperity of the mills, run ning night and day, and of the share that the people of the town have in it. The natural attractions, the scenery, the water supply, the health statistics, Invite more comers from the mountain and the lowlands. The statement that more than 1,000 houses have been built In the last year ought to convey an idea of the activity prevailing in this bustling little city, with its quaint, old fashioned, irregular public square, or namented with a fine bronze statue In honor of Morgan, the rjfleman of the Revolution. The stofea are many and well stocked. Along the street are seen many itiountairi&ers, the tall, athletic men of the type "found In eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, and you are told that there lias beeii a greater infusion of them in recent years than before the industrial'era set In. The schools are not good buildings, but are said to be as efficient as the best iu the south. A short drive from the center of the town to (be eastward brings the visitor to Converse college, . an- institution i broadly established and-lilierally en dowed by D. E. Converse, the gentle man whose enterprise enemfraged and guided the recent development of the cotton manufacture in this part of South Carolina. Within certain lim its it is an independent institution. It is Christian, but not denominational, . and the founder took great pains that his intentions should be carried out. The situation and grounds are superb. Upon the highest spot in Spartanburg, elevated 1,200 feet above the sea level, with 50 acres of ground about the establishment and commanding a view of the nearby Blue Ridge that is ex quisite, there are fine brick buildings costing $120,000 that are complete in every detail. The main building is 400 feet long and 190 feet deep and con tains 175 rooms. Converse college Is exclusively for girls. There are also other excellent educational institutions In Spartanburg. Public spirit is asserting itself in Spartanburg. J. C. Garlington, the proprietor of The Ilenild, who cher ishes a worthy ambition for the town, predicts that it will not be long before the many evidences of awakening en terprise will be crystallized in im provements that will add to the com fort of a place greatly favored by na ture. Hitherto there has been so much concentration of Interest In the con struction of mills that there has been little attention given to municipal im provements. For the sake of business in its closely built up main street Spar tanburg must soon have pavements. It is promising to be rich. It cannot af ford to be wastefully economical. q«at SneccHNtul Merchants. The most successful merchants of any city aie those who use advertising space In the daily newspapers.

"Shortly after I had entered and was glancing around to familiarize myself with the surroundings a dark young man came up and bowing pleasantly accosted nie in broken English. He said that he saw I was a stranger, but that all such were more than welcome there and offer ed to escort me around the place. He asked me if I played chess, and I replied that I was a member of the New York (Jhess club, though by no means an ex pert at the game. "He then asked me if I would like to play and offered himself as an opponent, saying that as 1 deemed myself a novice he would handicap himself by playing without the queen. I replied that I would gladly play, but would not accept any odds at first, but that after we had played a few games together he could judge of my ability and we could easily arrange what handicap I should have. "He sat down at one of the tables and put the men in position on one of the big boards. These boards and chessmen, by the way, have been in use for more than a hundred years, and some of the pieces are so worn that in some cases, despite their size, it is ditlicult to distinguish a castle from a bishop. I had the white men and started out with one of the regu lation openings. "After a few moves had been made by each of us I noticed something peculiar about his play. He certainly had man aged so that he was now on the offensive, but in one or two instances where he might have moved so as to take a piece he deliberately, so it seemed to me, avoid ed doing so. Yet, notwithstanding his strange way of playing, 1 could make no headway at all and could not manage to take any of his pieces. "I castled my king and directed my play entirely on the defensive, endeavor ing at the same time to fathom his meth ods, which by this time seemed almost uncanny. Suddenly he made a move in a direction I least expected and said, 'Mate in two moves.' "I carefully scanned the board, and It was as be said, and then I fathomed the reason of his peculiar moves. lie had checkmated me without the loss of a piece by either of us. I had all mine be cause he had not wished to take any of them, but he had not given me a show to take any of his. "I thanked him for his courtesy and asked him if he would exchange cards with me. He immediately took one out of a case, and on looking at it I saw the name, ' Emanuel Lasker." —New York Sun. Aecllmntlsntlon. Pr Manson. th# malaria expert, be lieves that acclimatization, about which so much is heard in India and tropical countries generally, depends on "experi ence, education and an intelligent adapta tion of habits." rather than on any actual change in the physiological condition of the body. It will be admitted by every one who has lived any length of time in the tropics that recklessness and care lessness are characteristic of the new ar rival in any hot country. "He does not think much of exposing himself to the sun, the rain and the wind. The old res ident is very chary of going out without his run hat and his white umbrella. The newcomer may look upon these precau tions as signs of effeminacy. They are not so. Experience has told the old resi dent that neglect means an attack of fever. The newcomer sits up late, eats, drinks and smokes as in Europe. The old resident goes to bed betimes ami eats, drinks and smokes iu moderation." —New York Times. PtilllnK Strength of Elephant*. It is difficult to ascertain the pulling strength of an elephant for the simple reason that the strongest animals we have in captivity are not the possessors of the sweetest tempers, and accordingly their keepers are chary of allowing them to be attached to dynamometers, not car ing to speculate as to what the end would be were the mammoth to "lose his hair." Tests which have been made with av erage sized animals, however, prove that a healthy young Jumbo of 18 summers or thereabout can make a dynamometer register 5% tons dead weight. In order to get an idea of what this represents it may be stated that a pair of powerful horses could only register a ton and a fifth by their united efforts, nor was their performance a poor one.—Lon don Express.
