Production of Silver.
The production of silver' in the
United States has not varied rad
ically since 1899, and we arrive at our
Judgment of a radical variation by
comparison with the change in the
output of gold, which has indeed been
radical, says the Black Hills Mining
Review. There was a -difference of
14.000,00t ounces, approximately 28
per cent, between the low production
of 1894 and the high of 1892, while
.there has been no new extreme with
in 12 years. The annual output of
gold has considerably more than
doubled within that time. The vari
ation In the world's silver production
during the 15 year period has been
less than that of the United States,
the high extreme of 1898 exceeding
the low of 1S91 by about 26 per cent
The world's annual production of gold
has, on the other hand, been going
steadily forward, except for the inter
ruption by the Boer war, practically
trebling since 1891. The United
States has bought no silver in 13
years. The last purchases were un
der the act of 1S90, by which in ex
cess of 168.OCO.000 ounces were ac
quired. During the 20 years follow
ing 1873 the government purchased
almost 900.000,030 ounces, or at the
average rate of about 25,000,000
ounces per year.

Paint In a certain sense. Is a minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint Is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing, Indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet a can of good

Kabakon Is the new Eden.
The Order of the Sun has estab
lished thee the strangest colony on
the face of the earth; a colony in
which all go naked, all admit the sun
the source of all life, and all subsist
pon cocoanuts for they say the co
coanut Is the sun's representative on
earth, the life-giver, the healer the
spirit of Sol. The cocoa palm Is the
mother of humanity; the sun is its
creator.
In the Palm Theater of Pure Na
tural Life Is the seat of government of
the International Colonial Empire of
Prultarlanism, founded by the Order
of the Sun. and there the naked hosts,
Christians, who until a fewv months
ago wore clothes, worship the sun,
not as a god, but as the giver of all
life and tie healer of the sick.
Tropical Fruit in Rich
Profusion on the Island
The island of Kabakon Is In German
New Guinea and belongs to' the New
Lauenburg group, which is situated in
the Bismarck archipelago, between
New Pommern and New Mecklenburg.
It is one mile from Herbertshoehe, the
seat of the government, and half a
mile from Micko, where there are
many large warehouses filled with
many bad goodies from all the world
around for many big and little people
who have not yet adopted the simple
life and cocoanuts of Kabakon. Co
coanuts are defined by Mr. Engel
hardt as the idea, the spirit of the
sun constituted in plant' form, and
they are the.rVet par excellence for
the members of the Order of the Sun.
Kabakon yields many cocoanuts and
many other sweets of nature. It is a
big cocoanut banana and papaya
plantation of 7,000 trees, 165 acres in
size, with extraordinary fertility, and
bearing incidentally all the other fa
mous tropical fruits, mangoes, bread
stuffs, pineapples, oranges, lemons,
and has a good annual crop of sweet
potatoes, too. yams, taron, sugar cane,
tallia nuts, gallip, and other tropical
oddities. "Let us join together in the tropics,"
cries August Engelhardt, founder of
the Order of the Sun, of the Interna-
vOOOCKOOCKKCCHC-CKOCMCKC-0
tional Colonial Empire of Fruitarian
Ism, and of the Palm Temple of Pure
Natural Life, and purchaser and sole
proprietor of the lovely Island of Ka
bakon. - "If we do truth we shall get true
and come nearer and nearer to God,
who is truth and life. To live in the
cool and dark Europe, the friend of
the icy winter, in caves called houses
and towns, in rags called clothes, is
a slow, sure empolsonment suicide.
Let us go back to the source of all
life, of all miud and strength, to the
sun, who -is nothing else but the vis

Colonists Work Only When
.They Are So Inclined.
"The climate is not changeable. A
large, well selected library Is at
our disposal. ' We always are naked,
therefore the heat does not affect
us. Besides, uncooked foods do not
produce thirst especially when one
has the opportunity of sea bathing
at any time. Mr. Engelhardt is most
tolerant toward those who hold differ
ent opinions. Physical work is not
compulsory. We work when we feel
Inclined. The rest of the time we.
superintend the operations of the na
tives and do mental work. Our lives
are Characterized by the absence of
the hurry and worry of civilization.
Our colony is conducted on commun
istic lines; ach colonist becomes part
proprietor."
The conditions for admission to the
sun order are, first recommendations
of two "respectable, credible" persons
who are to be "approbated by the
leader of the sun order;" secondly, a
payment of about $250 for such as
are able to pay, "for less wealthy
people, corresponding to their prop
erty, for poor fruit eaters nothing.
In the first line the sun order wants
men of noble, excellent character;"
thirdly,' the disposition of about $150
with the imperial government at Her
bertshoehe in case of their quitting
the colony of having need of the
money In emergency; fourth, every
colonist must be fruitarian, that is,
he must live on nuts and fruit; fifth,
a biographical sketch and photograph
are required
Hope Is to Bring Forth
a Perfect Race of Men.
"All fruit eaters," observes Mr.
Engelhardt "can live a permanent
naked life like myself, join nature in
every respect. Magnificent sea and
sand baths complete the continual sun
and air baths in the best manner."
It has been thought by some of the
uninitiated public '-that marriage is
forbidden at Kabakon; but, on the
contrary, family' life is encouraged,
and it is the hope of the colony to
furnish a nucleus to the world of
sane, honorable, healthy and pure
minded men. Married men with
their families are hence accorded an
especial welcome.
The sun order derives its fair name
from the fact that its membera ven
erate the sun as the source or all life,
"as the visibility of an everlasting be
ing of love and 'Wisdom. We -do not
worship the sun after the manner of
the Parsees, who live in clothes and
at sunrise fail prostrate on their
knees on carpets and lift up their
obligations. The Chinaman utilizes
snakes for sustenance and for medi

by the Indians of America, the ne
groes of Africa; the Malaysians and
the Japanese. Coming nearer home,
the Italians favor a dish of viper jelly,

man simply are different manifesta
tions of the same life."
Invalid in Civilization;
Has Become Strong Man.
The ultra-raodern conclusions where
at Mr. Engelhardt has arrived regard
ing human modes of living, he de
clares, are not the result of specula
tion, but of experiment. He himself
has been an invalid, and an invalid
he remained until he foresook house
and town, coat and shoe, and assumed
the airy fashions of primitive man
kind, and adopted the diet 'of the Dar
winian ancestors of men, the merry
monkeys, who banquet off cocoanuts
and banyans.
Mr. Engelhardt was born in Nurem
berg. Bavaria. His father was a man
ufacturer, and a most excellent man.
His mother was a fine woman. Sho
gave him careful training. He attend
ed the Latin school and gymnasium
at Nuremberg and afterward studied
mathematics and. science at Munich.
Then he lived a number of years at
.iMircmuerg, occupying uimseu us an
author. About the year 1900 he be
came a vegetarian. From childhood
up he had been weakly of constitution,
and ever since 1S94 he had busied
himself with medicine and physicians
in hopes of gaining strength. Ho
tried all corts of dietaries and after
vegetarianism took to a pure fruit
regimen, and then milk and cream.
Cocoanut Declared the
Proper Food for Mankind.
"Just as mother's milk is the one
proper and natural food of the suck
ling babe so the cocoanut Is the one
natural and proper food for the man.
The cocoanut palm is his mother, it
is his kitchen and his cellar. In its
fruits it bestows upon him a nutri
ment whereby alone the greatest and
highest of his bodily and spiritual
powers may be awakened." Mr.
I Engelhardt made experiments with the
other fruits and nuts, but from none
received the satisfactory results which
inspired his foundation of the cocoa
nut colony.
It was in November, 1901, that the
founder of the Order of the Sun left
Germany in search of a tropica! resi
dence, thinking it might be Ceylon,
and it was in 1902 that he landed
upon the happy isle of Kabakon. A
Lyear later, on the 3d of March, 1903,
he proclaimed Kabakon an open fruit
garden and sungrove. I will settle
it with fruit eaters."
While comparatively few persons,
in Mr. Engclhardt's judgment, now
may be prepared for such a life as
the idealities of Kabakon offer, as
these become better and better known
everywhere his Ideas will be popular
ized and more and more will desiro
to put them into practical execution.

HIS BUSTED
ROMANCE
Except for one other traveler. Mer
rick had the luxurious chair car to
himself. His fellow passenger.. fash
ionably dressed young woman, war
evidently ill at ease.
He looked wistfully at the yoaag
woman, who was certainly anything
but comfortable. Perhaps some one sue
had expected had failed to put in an
appearance. Possibly she was ill nr
frightened, or had taken the wrong
train. Perhaps he could be of some
assistance. He could recall numerou
instances where he had been of assihi
ance to young and distressed feminin
ity. At any ratejt was clearly necessary
that something should be done. It wan
equally clear that he was the man tu

Steadying himself by the chairs, fur
the train was running at the rate of
60 miles an hour. Merrick went for
ward.
"I beg your pardon," said he paus

wanted to offer you seemed uneasy
"O, so uneasy!" admitted the lady.
"Yon are in trouble; perhaps I could
help you?"
"I am hungry," she confessed, flush
ing prettily. "I am starving."
"There's a dining car forward." be
gan Merrick, eagerly. "The service
is excellent"
"But not for me. I'm a pauper. I
have no money. My companion car
ried my purse. We were separated
in a tremendous crush In Twenty
third street Fortunately, I had my
ticket, and enough chang to pay for
my seat in my glove. It was hope
less to think of trying to find anyone
in such a crowd, so I escaped with
my life and came straight to the
train."
"That was certainly the best thins
to do," said Merrick, approvingly.
"I'm afraid, thoush," confessed the
lady, "that I have been foolishly ex
travagant I should have gone into
the day coach and saved my money
for my luncheon, but I hoped my
friend would catch the train. I ato
very little for breakfast; you can't
think how it makes me feel whenever
that man pokes his head inside th
door and calls out: 'Dinner now readv
in the dining car.'-"
Merrick, who had just lunched
sumptuously in Jersey City, laughed
sympathetically.
"I'm hungry, too". said he, ut
blushingly. "You must dine with

"O, no"
"Oh, yes. If you prefer, you shall
sit at one table, and I'll take another,
but"
"It Isn't that I shouldn't mind"
"Last call for' the dining car." said
th steward, appearing at the door.'"
"O," gasped the young woman, hmv
grilv.
"You see we must go at once, saiu
Merrick, rising eagerly., "This is our
last chance." "
"But this is so Improper," replied
the- distressed lady, rising reluct
antly. Not at all," said Merrick, 'holding
th door open, encouragingly. "I as

In another moment'they were seat
ed at opposite sides of a small tab!"
"What shall I order for you?" asked
Merrick.
"O, everything. I could devour the
ferns in this fern, dish."
"Blue Points?"
"By all means."
In spite of her hunger, the young
woman ate daintily. Merrick liked
the play of the dimple in her
left cheek and the swift up
ward sweep of her long lashes. He
approved also of her eyes. How pleas
ant, thought he, to serve tomato bisque
always to such a lovely creature! How
pleasant to share all one's future
mushrooms with one that ate them so
daintily!
Merrick had always said that he
should marry when he should reach'
the mat-.fe age of 30. He had only
six months left, and he was still un
attached. His income had reached a satisfac
tory figure, and he was not without
other attractions, and he flt that the
time had come for him to settle down
for life.
Just as his meditations had reached
this point and the lady had reached
the sarad, the steward approached with
a telegram in his hand.
"Mrs. Bertram!?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the lady, eagerly,
but tremulously. "I am Mrs. Ber
trand." f
"A widow, perhaps," thought Mer
rick, hopefully. "All southern girls
marry early."
"Would you mind opening this?" she
asked, turning to Merrick. "My hand
shakes so. A telegram always fright
ens me. Read it to me, please."
And Merrick read:
"A. Bertrand, passenger train No.
etc:
"Did you take train? Wire instant

eagerly.
