MERELY "OLD MAN JONES" ? Ordinary Ottiaen, But He Drew Some? thing of ? t Jlogy From California Newspaper Writer. Maybe yon d'dn't know Old Mno Jonen. Hi was u printer, end ho died ' tout week, and tliere waa a piece about him In the paper. Ttiti piece was four line* long und It waa on the thirty ?Marth pnge of the paper In the lower right-hand corner under an advert Ise Btont about aoap or aomethlug. Maybe yon didn't see tbe piece In ' the paper. No? Well, It Is no wonder. ; There Ii so Bieeh in 'he papers, and old Jones didn't smount to anything, anyway. At lesat, he was of no Im pertance. Yon could not expect the peper to give him any more room when , be died. That same day tliere was a big scandal in high society, there was a revolution In C.ennniiy. seven people were csugbt drinking liquor, a luovfn "vamp- said her dlsmonds were stole", sad s lot of other very Important thing* happened. Old Jones was lucky to get oven those four lines In the lnst hidden corner of the last page. vj| And. besides si! flint, we nre very sure that old Jones didn't and wouldn't give s whoop If the paper nevef" even mentioned that be was deed. He had left the country and waa In another country fnr more to his liking, fie was with Socrates and Homer and (he old gods and fighting men that he knew and loved In greasy books that he found In cheap second-hand stores and garbage cans where they had been dterarded. Many s annny hour have we spent with old Jones, learning fron hint things we never knew before. For tal 1 years he had read hooka that opened np Paradise to him. His life was spent happily. Death meant to him merely soother journey which, at the last, he was eager to take. He was very wise sod slways very kind, und aaually poor. Now, he la with 10,000 yesterdays end as quickly forgotten as tbmgh he had been a king or a millionaire. Oerel by, old Jones.

The old sugar mill at New Smyrna, Fla., about 12 miles down the coast from Daytona, stands smld piosj hung trees, as a picturesque and legend haunted relic of the lli-.'nted colonizing enterprise that In lTflO brought l.noo Minorenne, Greeks and Itallana to that region, and for a few brief years thereafter transformed seven miles of I vlna tangled sv amp land, along the j ? const into orderly little plantations where grew Indian corn, cotton, rice, ! Indigo plants snd sugar cane. And It | was probably for the crushing of this cane, a plant no longer grown in the vicinity, that the colonlsta built the old mill. The walls snd machinery beds I hey made of coqulna, a sort, whitish stone formed of broken sheila and corals, cemented together by na? ture. The Iron cr.isblng machinery It? self pr ?b?bljr erected at a later period to replace the colonists' cruder appa? ratus. Is nevertheless remarkable for Its century long resistance to the fierce corrosion of tbe tropic damp, which quickly consumes unpalnte<f Ironwork. Keeping Haroiam In Check.

RUNS ON RAILS OF WOOD - V I Alaskan Transport System 8uppllee II Mllea of Territory and Dose la> cellent Work. O. P. Gaustad of Falrbnnka, Alaska, Is owner and operator of one of tue "farthest north" railways In the world. His railroad "system" consists of 15 miles of wooden rails that stretch be? tween the hi?ad of navigation on the ; Tolovaua river to the rich placer mines above, some 75 miles over and > from Fairbanks. The motive power of his railroad Is a motor car, and It has ] done heroic work for the last two seu- 1 sons In imitating a genuine steam lo- { comotlve. Mr. Gaustad went to Alas? ka In the big rusk of '98. "I have a sawmill half way between the Tolovana placers and the head of navigation on the river." be said re? cently in Los Angeles? "For two years I have operated the railroad to haul legs to my mill, and from there' to hard the sawed lumber to the mines. The truck Is IS miles long and is of wooden rails. The motor car Is, of course, equipped with flanged wheels, and hauls a little train of three cars behind It. "In this fashion I have hauled loads as high as six tons. In addition to the lumber J haul all suptrtles from the bend of navigation on the river to the mines, and get $60 a ton for transport? ing them. Sometimes I make eight or nine trips a day, and this year the car covered over 6,000 miles In the course of the season. "The war brought great hardship to the gold miners of Alaska, for, suing to the depreciated value of the dollar, their gold Is worth but little more ihan half what It was five years ago, Con? sequently many of the mines are *hut down, for the producers figure it Is not worth while to pay excessive la? bor costs to mine gold worth only half price. "Few people realize the Immense dlstnnces In Alaska. From my rail? road, for example, It Is 1,600 miles to tidewater, by way of tbe Yukon river. "The gasoline I burn in my car co9ts me Ml cents a gallon."?From the Pa? cific Commercial Advertiser. Queer War Money. Some very odd kinds of money were brought Into circulation during the war, owing to the scarcity of copper and nickel. Germany Issued hundreds of millions of five-pfennig and ten pfennig Iron coins, the latter on put of these pieces being coated with zinc to prevent rtist. Iron coins were like? wise minted by the government*! of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The Germans Issued one-pfennig plecea of aluminum, and In Algeria also alum? inum Going of five centimes and ten centimes made their nppearnnre In cir? culation. Germany Issued muslin notes, and the local governments In that coun? try and In Austria printed paper mruey o'f the smallest value ever known, rep? resenting one-fifth of a cent. Even more curious was, the pasteboard money Issued In some of the enemy occupied cities in France, it wed in denominations up to five froncs, and was of different colors and shapes? squnre, round, octagonal, oval and dia? mond shaped. This "card money" was guaranteed by the local municipality, and was good only for use in transac? tion with merchants, of the town where It was ?issued. No Birthday Anntveraa.y. It Is possible for a baby horn this year never again to have n birthday. For this Is leap year, and a baby lorn on the right spot at the right time will almost certainly have no birthdays to keep. This has actually happened to a baby who was born during the voy age from Yokohama to San Francisco on the last day of Febrnary, 1904. It Is well knowa that In order to make the actual number of sunrises and sunsets experienced during a voy? age round the world correapond with the calendar an extra day must be In? tercalated or "thrown overboard," ac? cording to the direction traveled. This adjustment Is made at the moment of crossing the one hundred and eightieth meridian, which runs to the west of the midway point between .Tnpnn and California. And a baby bom on February 30 moist be content to do "without birth? days, unless he or she should happen to he on n similar spot at the same time in some future leap year, which would be a rather wild Improbability. ?Manchester Guardian. ?

Those unimaginative people who be? lieve the high pitch of Inventive genius was reached with the advent of elec? tricity, talking machines, nlrplanes and the X-ray will be interested to know that civilization on this planet has really just begun. Dr. A. If. Low, a London engineer with many inventions to his credit, says five hundred years hence our descendants will look back upon conditions In 1920 with just stu b feelings of amused pity as we show for the slate of the savages of pre? historic times. The scientist predicts among other things that In 2420 A. D. all public thoroughfares and parks will be un? derground, vehicles will he run by wireless, telephones will carry an at? tachment enabling the speakers to see each other, and ail roads will be as smooth as billiard balls. Dr. Low, who Invented a motor scooter and haa produced an apparat? us for seeing Mmple objects by wire, in a recent interview In London said In part: "When a man sets out for business he will not proceed, as he does now, by tramway car or train; he will pass along delightful avenues underneath the surface of the earth. Parks and all other places of public resort and beauty will he roofed In. "Motor cars and all motor vehicles will proceed by wireless power ami not by the crude method of using petrol. They will he fitted up like luxuriously appointed drawing rooms and will be driven at a rate of one hundred miles an hour. Wireless telephones will be Installed In the cars, as well as every kind of appointment making for luxury and comfort. Many people will own these cars. "People will live In a condition of splendid physical Isolation.

Giving Up Fairy Stories. Do you remember when you had to give up reading fairy- ?torlos? Of course you didn't have to give 'em up If you didn't want to, hut teacher and father and mother and all the rest of the grown folks said you must read grown-up hooks and so the fair? ies were cast aside and? Ohi well, the same tragedy of youth la going on every day even now at the public library, say the attendants In the children's room. One of the many duties of these at? tendants is to lead the children grad? ually away from fairy stories to rea' life stories. It Is no easy Job because the children struggle against giving tip their fairies. Never, It Is said, has there been such a run on the fairy tale shelf In the children's room as there has been recently. In time, however, 1he fairies make way for "Treasure Island," the "Hears of Blue Itiver," "Tom Sawyer" or "Lit? tle Women," and then the spell of fairyland Is more or less broken. "It would be so much easier to help the little folks," lamented one of the attendants, "if we only had more of the books that children so quietly learn to love after they leave their farVies."?Exchange. Unique Style of* Greeting. Sir Auckland Geddes, who Is e\*1 dently expectert to do a great deal of entertaining when he goes to the United States, Is a notable athlete, hut it may he doubtful whether his physi? cal endurance will be equal to the handshaking which will be Involved unless he reforms his methods, re murks the Manchester Guardian. It Is vtost Interesting If rather exhaust? ing, to watch him receive a number of guests as he did recently at Olympia, for he,has an athletic style all his own. As each guest comes In sight Sir Auck? land advances one foot, plants It firmly and balances himself as If for a trial of strength. Then his long arm shoots out to full length, he smiles the guest straight in the eye like a boxer, sel/.es his hand and draws him de? terminedly uround in a semicircle to greet the hostess. He will need to develop a less ex? pensive muscular action for Ihe so? cial tasks before him In America. Weaving Mills of Bielefeld.
