FAILED TO FIND WEALTH. So Broken Old IVospector Bet urns From Alaska to Civilization. After 29 years wandering through the bleak, snow-covered- wastes of Alaska In search of gold. with starvation ' prodding him onward and death stalking his heels. Michael Murry has returned to St. I-ouis to spend his last days. Murry is old, broken and almost poverty-stricken"IUie best years of his life hnve been frpelnt in a fruitless search for hidden woklth?the end of tht; rainbow, which was always Just ahead but never reached. ft was Michael's romantic, roving nature which brought him to AmerIcu from Ireland at tho age of 2 4 year*. After a few months ho sent for his brother Patrick, and the two settled In St. Louis. For a time they were contented, but Michael, finding that he could not accumulate wealth at the wages prevalent in those days, became restive. About that timo news of the sensational gold strike in the Klondlko was wafted to the world. Michael decided to try his luck. In .the spring of 1891 he arrived at Fortymlle. on tho Yukon river. From that day until two years ago his brother heard nothing from him. During the 29 years ho roved about for his fortune he did not see more than 100 white men and fewer than a dozen white women. , in me spring, ne sain, wnon maws the three or four feet of snow that had fallen during the winter, he would travel BO miles seeking favorable quart* formations. He would build himself a moss-chlnkod log cabin and prospect for gold. Each October he laid In a supply of food for the winter. During the "fish run," which occurs when the winter Ice begins to form, Michael was always able to trap a year's supply of fish In one day. \ He would kill throe or four hears at that season. Tho . fat he would use for oil. Having lost the goal of his ambition. Michael decided to return to civilization. Two months ago he bocame homesick and decldod to return to St. Ix>uls. VAST MKC OF SODA. . Strange Natural Deposit in British Fast Africa. About half way across British East Africa, close to the former German frontier, thero Is Magndi Inke, nothing less than a vast natural deposit of soda. This strange lake, the only deposit of It* kind known. Is plctur eaquely situated amid weird surrounding* at the bottom of a valley 3.SS0 feet deep. On one aide are mountains 6,000 feet above sea leyel and on another a range having' an altitude of 6.000 feet. The lake Is <ten miles wide and two or thrbo miles In breadth, and, seen from the surrouridtng mountains, has the appearance of an Immense ruffled I white sheet. The surface in ns hard as marble, i with herd and there deep cracks. ; , It can, however, bo easily broken up. In the rainy season tho depression is frequently covered with one to two feet of water, but in dry weather the lajte presents the apperance of an BR Noetic icefield. It is nothing more ^B than a vast deposit of soda, in the IB form ?f crystalline blocks, each rep^B resenting on enormous value. Soda ^^R crystals are used in virtually every household in the world over for washing purposes. Carbonate of |^^R ?oda. otherwise known as soda ash. tad caustic soda are largely used in ^H mmeroai industries, such, for lnB \onoe, as soap. glass nnrt paper aking, as welt as "by textile maniicturers fer printing, bleaching and ^^^Befng,' while caifeonatc of soda is B Kd for the manvrtscture of baking ^BHBrtfr and of mineral water. By, HK s .> . ' !:' <$} ** - ' v,*i '1 fyp ,' v , simple treatment the raw material taken from the lake can be converted Into all the commercial forms of finest quality soda. No one knows ttie depth of the lake.. Boring's have so late been siTnk to only a depth of nine feet. Curiously enough, too. when excavations are made. new deposits begin to form as the result of springs under the surface. "It Is computed, however, that there are 200,000,000 tons of soda In sight. A railway 100 miles In length and refineries have been built to handle 160,000 tons of the soda a year, and altogether the concession, which has obtained permission to work the deposit, has spent nearly $5,000,000 on the venture.

Soiih of Former Kmpcror I-nboring to Forget Past, With the world still Interested In the final disposition of tjie former German kaiser,, the present whereabouts and activities of his five sons aro less known, with the possible exception of the exiled former crown prince. Friedrich Wllhelm, who lives in a fisherman's hut on the Isle of Wieringen. off the coast of Holland. With all the former splendor of court life prone, no lonpror held in awed reverence by an admiring populace, and seeking to live down the dishonor of being the world's greatest criminal, these five former princes are trying to keep busy at something. anything, which will make them forget the gay clays of Berlin court life. Kitel Friedrich and Oskar. former regimental idols, and both thorough soldiers, are now students at the government agricultural college at Berlin, living the lives of ordinary commuters, shorn of all their former glory. Kitel is the son of the former kaiser who saw the most fighting at the front. August Wilhelm, the fourth son of the deposed ruler, is entirely different from his brothers.

The sixth Son of the exiled emperor, shot 'and killed himself a few months ago.
