At differ ent times the volume has appeared In twelve oilier hiiiKinijc, while more than U(Ml,(i()() eoples of the German original have been sold.

The Itu-wluii military eomiiiiiuder, (Sen. Kurnpatkln, has llnlsbed his his torical work In relation to the eauses of the Russian defeat In the far east and the Kngllsh trauslattou will doubt les soon be gut under way. (Jen. Ku ropatklu undertakes to prove that his plans were repeatedly upset by orders from St. Petersburg. The astonishing fact has Just come to light that Professor Hlehard Gar-ii'-tt, librarian of the Ilrltlsh Museum, who died recently, for years had de voted much time to the "black art" of astrology. liven more extraordinary. Is the circumstance that the business men of New York and other cities regular ly consulted him regarding contempla ted ventures. The novel-render who fondly believes that lilt favorite "refreshers" iiru of Imagination all compact Is much de ceived. The novelist of genius Is even more given to the taking of mites than Is the lesser writer who turns off sto rles "In the way of trade." Ilulzae, his sister has told us, wherever he went studied what he saw, setting down everything which revealed a character or painted u situation. Ills "meat cafe" was the odd mime he gave to the hook which held these notes. Dick ens recorded diligently his observations of peculiarity In person as well as strange Incidents, suggestive names, available scenery and the like. Kvcn one so little given to "realism" In the modem sense as Hawthorne had an ample store of useful notes. Wllkle Collins Is quoted by an old nupuilnt mice, In Chambers' Journal, as declar ing that he founded nearly all his plots on facts, on Incidents he had heard of or read, or on a desire to ex pose or correct some abuse of his time. Great was his wrath when he was lic ensed of Introducing sensational and Improbable episodes In his book, "The Woman In White," lie knew, he said, of very few Instances In which llctlon exceeded the probability of reality; and then he revealed the source of many of hfs plots In the h1iuk of a dilapi dated collection of records of French crime picked up on an old bookstall In Paris. "Here Is a prize!" he exclaim ed, ami so It turned out to be. "Ttie Woman In White" was derived from those mouldering records. "The plot of that," said Collins, "has been called outrageous; the substitution and burial of the mad girl for Lady (Jlyde, and the Incarceration of Lady Olydo as the mad girl. It was true, and It was from the trial of the villain of the plot Count l'ohco of the novel I got my story." 8EARCH GLOBE FOR RUBBER. Mnny 1't-rila Are Kiirnunlt-rril In (Jnfhrrlnur til (lum. From Southern Mexico In the north to Northern Paraguay In the south; from the Atlantic on the east, right through the devious wandering of the many branches and tributaries of the mighty Amazon and right on, out to the Pacific, on the west ; through the mys terious, trackless and utterly unknown solitudes of the Paraguayan nnd lto llvlau Choeos out Into Peru, the rub ber hunters are at work on the plants and trees put ready to their use by the bounteous hand of nature. Where they go on their Journeys or precisely what they do, no white map knows to this day, or Is ever likely to know, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Less than a year ago I met with and spoke In Fugllsh to an Italian mer chant In the wilds of Matto (J rosso, the northwestern province of Brazil, whose capital city Is five weeks' Journey from the scat of government at Hlo de Jane iro. For twenty years' he hud not heard the sound of Kngllsh voice and during nil those years rubber has been flow lug through his hands, down the giant Itlver Paraguay, on IU way to the mar kets of the world, via Iluenos Ay res or Montevideo. Vet of Us actual produc tion he knows little. To skip, In spirit, from tho north east coast of South America across the south Atlantic to tropical Africa, tho Congo, the Oold Coast, the Zambesi, Uganda and other parts, Is not a dif ficult undertaking. Hut here all Is changed, and, Instead of having noble forest trees at his disposal, the rub bcrhunter finds himself dependent on snaky, climbing, twisting vines for his rubber supplies, vines which usurp ev ery Inch of territory they can Invade, and render n passage through the for ests n mutter of great dliilculty und some danger. These vines, known ns "landolphlns," of which there nro soveral species, are members of tho natural order apocy- nnceie nuu nro common to tho whole or tropical Africa. They differ from the American trees, in that they pro duce rubber In the center of the Mem, ns well as from tne cells underlying the Inner comblum, but what quautlty r-iSvSs62XlM Edw each plant will produce there are nr data to base an estimate upon. Although the landolphlns form the main source of the African rubber sup ply, yet there Is at least one family of trees which yields a supplementary contribution to the sum total. The funtumla or klcksla, of which there are two species, elastlca and Afrlcanla, was worked to a considerable extent a ijunrter of n century ago, but It does not now seem to be a fashionable plant to cultivate a close nssoclatlonshlp with. It resembles the hevea to some degree, but Is smaller, of softer growth, and requires a little less rainfall to luxuriate. Turning to India, und to Asia gener ally, It will not be found that the con tinent Is rich In Indigenous rubber hearing plants. The Ileus elastlca, the Indian rubber plant of the window gardener, Is found In Assam und Hur ma an, I the federated Malay states, but Its produce Is of very Inferior quality. Certain limbers also yield rubber, tho three chief ones being the ureeola, ehouemeipha, and the Wllloughbla. The fad that Para and other rubbers are being cultivated In India, etc., Is sulllcleiit proof of the poorness of the continent of Asia In Indigenous rubber hearing plants. Ceara rubber Is collected by stabbing the tree In a number of places close together, and as the Juice exudes It coagulates In the air, and Is rolled up Into balls by the collectors. It Is usually In a dirty state then It comes to the market. The product of the Ileus elastlca nnd the other Asiatic plants Is usually sim ply sun-dried; the rubber from tho former can be Idea tilled at a glance by Its peculiar red color. MINE FOUND BY A BADQER. I'rimiMM-lurs IIIkkImw Hint Out III CIHITCll II ltl-li Clllllll, X. II. (ieorge, Santa Fe yurdnmster, has taken a layoff of three weeks and gone to Nevada to develop a gold min ing claim which he has there. There Is quite a story hack of his going. Mr. (Ieorge grubstaked an old miner who had struck a streak of had luck. This miner Dually found some excel lent surface Indications In the Nevada mountains and staked his claim. The prospects were so good that .Mr. George, his brother und his hrother-lu-law took -three adjoining claims. The old griz zled miner worked away all winter on the funds supplied him by Mr. George. Ills developments were encouraging, hut did not pan out large quantities of the yellow metal. A short time since another old miner In hard luck came past the llrst miner's claim carrying his kit of tools with him. Mr. George's friend was natural ly lonesome and Invited the stranger to take a claim. After looking over the .situation this stranger decided to do so. An evening or two later the two miners sat on a ledge of rock talk ing when a badger came into sight. The miners gave chase and the badger ran Into a hole on the stranger's claim. They went to work with their picks and soon dug the badger out, and In so doing they made a remarkable discov ery. Ills bed In the bottom of the hole was made on a big chunk of the very richest of gold ore. The gold In the stone on which he lay was worth ?!(, (KK). In this way they discovered a rich vein of gold bearing quart, which runs through both their mines as well as those belonging to Mr. George, his brother and the hruthcr-lii-hiw. Mr. George's trip to Nevada Is for the pur pose of fully Investigating his new gold mine. Wellington Mall. "Tin- Amt-rli'iiii I. ml)'."
