The Bind Scene In the Gold Room cs
That Fateful Occasion
Ih the middle of the gold room was n
3Xiir M fountain Around this the days
proceedings began writes T Hendrick
In the American Magazine Jay Goulds
own brokers pale haggard half dis
trustful and half ashamed of their
work started the bids Gold had closed
the day previously at 144 Now a
Gould broker offered 145 for 100000
gold
His only response were the curses
and fist shakings of a bedraggled per
spiring crowd
One hundred and forty six for 100
000 gold
Still there was no response
One hundred and forty seven
Each advancing point meant millions
in profits to Gould and likewise mil
lions In losses to the community At
every advance the crowds losing all
restraint alternately roared and wept
One hundred and forty eight
One hundred and forty nine
Above the pandemonium the monot
onous voices of the Gould brokers could
be heard quietly remorselessly putting
up the price
One hundred and fifty
One hundred and fifty one
At this point the buying began Hith
erto the crowd had been held magical
ly spellbound The audacity of the
Gould brokers had paralyzed all Board
brokers were particularly dazed In
face of the cliques demonstrated pow
er no one seemed able to bid even to
make the feeblest attempt to check the
terrible rise
A few uptown merchants now how
ever started to purchase Soon the
bidding degenerated Into panic Ev
ery one scrambled to get his gold
now while the price judged by what
had already happened and the unques
tioned power of the gang seemed low
All purchases however meant enor
mous losses
Fortunes accumulated through years
of self sacrificing toil were swept away
in a moment In their craze men ran
aimlessly about the room moaning
screaming vainly appealing for help
Outside where the crowds breathlessly
waited announcements the same scenes
were repeated Ruined men unable to
get into the building Itself pushed
cursed and fought At each rise in the
price the rage against Gould Increased
When the bid reached 150 there were
cries of Lynch Lynch
And meanwhile what was the plotter
of all this mischief doing He was
selling gold To whom was he selling
To Fisk and all his own associates He
was the only man who really under
stood the situation who knew that is
upon what a flimsy basis his corner
rested He sent Fisk Belden and
Speyer Into the gold room to advance
the price ostensibly for the benefit of
the clique and when it had reached a
certain point unloaded on his own ac
count He had sold largely unknown
to his confederates the day before
The Greatest of Rivers
The Amazon is the king of streams
From first to last It receives over 1200
tributaries of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise so far apart
and have their floods and ebbs at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around
At some points on its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other The
beholder seems to be looking on a great
yellow sea of fresh water When dis
covered some tribes of Indians on the
lower portion knew nothing of the ex
istence of the opposite shore and did
not believe that It existed saying that
the great river flowed all around the
world Its mouth including that of
the Para Is 180 miles in width and it
is navigable for large sized ocean
steamers for 1000 miles from the sea
and so vast is the flood that the ocean
is tinged yellow for 400 miles from the
coast of Brazil
The Achaean League
The Achaean league was formed by
the twelve towns of Achaea for mu

the Great but reorganized B C 2S0
and again dissolved B C 147 The
second of these leagues comprised all
the leading cities of the Peloponnesus
and indeed most of the cities and
states of Greece It was this league
which contended with the Romans for
the independence of Greece but Its
troops being defeated by Metellus at
Scarphaea and by Mummius near Cor
inth the league was dissolved and all
Greece submitted to the Roman domi

It is now the Right Hon John Burns

John Burns who led the great dock
handlers strike and who was impris
oned for obstructing the public high
ways and insisang upon the exercise
of the right of free speech He Is now
a British cabinet minister and enjoys a
salary of 10000 a year but he lives as
Blmply and unpretentiously as he did
when he worked at his trade as an en
gineer or when he had to support him
self and his family on the 200 raised

cil no salaries being paid members of
these bodies Both In England and in
the United States men have begun at
the lowest round of the ladder and
risen to eminence In the business or pro
fessional world and then have had of
fices thrust upon them or have thrust
themselves into the offices But that Is
not the way John Burns came to enter
the British cabinet He Is neither a
merchant prince a captain of industry

JOHN BURNS M P
is not one of the successful men at
all so far as success is measured by
financial standing He is just a plain
workingman today and to emphaze
the fact that In rising to power in the
government by the votes of working
men he has not adopted any of the tra
ditions associated with aristocracy he
wears his blue serge suit at state din
ners when others are in conventional
evening dress and he even wore it
when he went to Buckingham palace to
be sworn in as a member of the kings
privy council and to kiss the royal
hand on acceptance of the office of
president of the local government
board On this occasion the king ad
dressed him with especial cordiality
and told him his objection to wearing
court costume need never prevent him
from obeying commands to court enter
tainments
Burns is the first workingman mem
ber of the British cabinet and the po
sition he has received is a popular rec
ognition of the great work he has ac
complished in behalf of the wage earn
ing classes At forty seven he still
works twelve hours a day though he
advocates an eight hour day for oth
ers His hair and beard are gray but
they have been since he was thirty
owing to the strenuous experiences he
went through in the battle for the
rights of his class He has grown
somewhat more conservative with
years and some of his colleagues now
denounce him as an apostate

fi WONDERFUL PROOF
The Ilurcu Glass ns a Demonstra
tor of the Suns Heat
The suns heat Is so great
But an Intelligent young woman In
terrupted the scientist impatiently
After all she said it is guesswork
this talk about the excessive heat of
the sun You cant prove any of your
claims
He was disgusted
I cant he cried Why it is tho
easiest thing in the world to prove that
the sun Is hot enough to melt iron
granite the hardest substances known
into liquid Into steam
How would you make such a proof
she asked incredulously
With the burning glass said he
A burning glass is slightly rounded
Thus It bends Into a focus it concen
trates upon one small point a number
of sun rays The tiniest burning glass
catching only a few rays will light a
fire set off a gun or bore a red hole In
your hand
Yes
The solar heat which the burning
glass collects for us Is the tiniest frac
tion of the suns actual heat We can
prove this by focusing with our glass
rays from a powerful lamp or a great
fire We get a small bright spot a lit
tle heat but this heat is nothing to
compare with the heat of the lamp it
self
So knowing now that the solar
heat which tlie burning glass gives to
us Is but a fraction of the heat of the
sun we take a burning glass a yard In
diameter such glasses have been made
for the sole purpose of convincing skep
tical persons like yourself and this
glass concentrates many hundreds of
sun rays for us and it gives us a heat
greater than we can obtain in any fur
nace a heat that will melt rock Into
vapor
The scientist smiled triumphantly
There Is your proof he said The
burning glass will only collect a tiny
portion of a burning objects heat and
the tiny portion of the suns heat that
it gives us Is yet sufficient to change in
a jiffy a block of granite into a puff of
steam Exchange
A FEARFUL PEST
The Feroclons Mosquitoes That
S vnrm In Scandinavia
Hunters find the mosquitoes a terri
ble pest In parts of northern Scandina
via One writes The warmth of the
sun Is rousing our deadly enemies the
mosquitoes into active warfare At
tacked as we are by a few score of
viciously piping skirmishers from the
mighty host we have before advancing
to look to the joints of our harness and
don our gauntlets then in descending
the long slope toward our bivouac the
scores of the foe are gradually multi
plied to hundreds the hundreds to
thousands the thousands to myriads
till we are at length enveloped in a
dense cloud of winged fiends The
horses are a distressing sight From
nose to tail from hoof to withers their
unfortunate bodies are covered with
what might be taken at a casual glance
for gray blanket clothing but which is
really a textile mass of seething insect
life so closely set that you could not
anywhere put the point of your finger
on the bare hide
For such small creatures mosquitoes
exhibit an astonishing amount of char
acter and diabolical intelligence They
dash through smoke creep under veil
or wristband like a ferret into a rabbit
hole and when they can neither dash
nor creep will bide their time with the
cunning of a red Indian We wore
stout dogskin gloves articles with
which they could have had no previous
acquaintance and yet they would fol
low each other by hundreds in single
file up and down the seams trying ev
ery stitch in the hope of detecting a
flaw
And the same writer concludes The
problem presents itself Why are these
vermin so horribly bloodthirsty and so
perfectly formed for sucking blood It
is one of the great mysteries of nature
On the uninhabited stretches of Fin
mark they must as a rule exist on veg
etable diet the chances of blood so
rarely occur
Genesis of Cotton In America
The first planting of cotton seed in
the colonies was in the Carolinas in the
year 1G21 when seeds were planted as
an experiment in a garden Winthrop
says that in 1G43 men fell to the
manufacture of cotton whereof we
have great stores from Barbados In
173U it was cultivated in the gardens
along Chesapeake bay especially in the
vicinity of Baltimore and at the open
ing of the Revolution it was a garden
plant in New Jersey and New York
but its real value seems to have been
almost unknown to the planters until
about 17S0
The Chameleon
The American chameleon a small liz
ard inhabits various parts of the south
ern United States The little animal
has the remarkable habit of quickly
and completely changing its colors
vaiying from brown to yellow and pale
green Its food consists of Insects
The little animal is perfectly harmless
to higher forms of life is often kept
as a pet and has been worn attached
to a chain as an ornament The toes
are provided with adhesive pads which
enable the lizard to run upon smooth
vertical surfaces
