He had never met theseparticular monkeys belt re, yet at a word from him they be- cune friendly and affectionate. With the assistance of a phonOgraph, after three hours' work, he managed to learn an en'irely new word, bringing his total rreabulary up to seven, out of a possible 50 or 60, which he thinks is about the limit of a monkey's capacity. So far he has not found that monkeys discuss .zhstruse questions. They have talked to him only about carrots, bread and the weather. He believes that their language is limited to this sort of thing and to occasional remarks about immi- 'nent danger or love. .. .The cheenaw Copper Deposits. W...“ ‘ _ A peninsula called Keweenaw Point, pitting into Lake Superior from the s -uthern shore toward the north-east, is forums as the center of a vast mining industry. Last, year the mines pro- c'nced no less than 105,586,000 pounds of refined copper, and it is estimated that during next year production will be increased by at. least 20 per cent. Mr. E. B. [iiosdalc, who contributes 'to the latest bulletin of the American Geographical Society on article on the subject, has much that is interesting to say about the prehistoric mines which _ These ancient mines,judgine from their extent, most have been worked for centuries.

What thev sought were pieces that could be fasli- ioned by cold hammering into useful articles and ornaments. They under- stood the use of fire in softening the rocks to enable them to break away the :rock from the masses of copper. They could not drill, but used the stone ham. mer freely. More than ten cart loads of stone hammers were found in the , “neighborhood of the Minnesota mine. In one place the excavation was about 50 feet deep, and at. the bottom were found timbers forming a scaffolding, and a large. sheet of copper was (lit-covered - there. In another place, in one of the old pita, was found a mass of copper weighing 46 tons. At another point the excavation was 26 feet deep. In another opening, at the depth of 18 feet, a ma~s of copper weighing 6 ions was found, raised about five feet from its , native bed by the ancients, and secured , on oakcn props. Every proj. cting point ; had been taken off, so that the exposed surface was smooth. Whoever the workers may have been, many centuries most have passed since their mines were abandoned. TheiFtrenches and open- ings have been filled up, or nearly so. Monstrous trees have grown over their work and fallen to decay, other genera- . tioas ol'trees springing up. When the mines were rediscovered, decayed trunks of large trees were lying over the works, while a heavy growth oflive timber stood V on the grouml.â€"Sct'entt:ft'c American. *._â€"â€"l â€"---â€"g - 0- ..,_____~._ A Good Scheme. .\n Indianapolis druueist worked a , novel cigar selling scheme a few Weeks ago in the following fashion. He found a stray nickel on the floor of his store one morning and resolved to post this , notice on the window of his store :â€"‘A sum of money found on 'I‘uesday last in this establishment. The owner will reecive the same within upOn describing.- -tnoney.' The scheme worked like a . charm. Hundreds of citizens came in daily for over a week, while the notice , was left in the window, describing their losses and bcwailiug their misl'Ortune. lorariubly every applicant for the lost rnroney bought a cigar. Some were satisfied with live-cent, straight, whiffs, but the great majority, anxious to im- press the drug man favorably toward .lheir cluiou‘. invested in two for :t Quar- .tt‘i‘.

Lindsay â€"TIâ€"IEâ€"- INSURANCE COl‘fiPANY, vs. THE LONDON MUTUAL, FOR FARMERS. The Royal Canadian offers the following advantages over the London Mutual : 1. Ifa building worth $1200 is insured for say $1000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay $1000, ifa loss occurs. In such a case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds of the. cash value, or $800. 2. Ifa horse worth $90 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. Fora cow worth $30 killed by light- ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. In the. London Mutual they are insured while pasturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specificallyf such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents ” of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian ALL implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures antler one sum the “ordinary contents " of all building not cut ofi‘ bya distance great- er than 40 it., the same as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires a Separate sum on the con- tents of each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a. part of the contract that standard STEAM runssnsns mav be used without a. special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit. When a farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most. required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pay for ninety days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to her- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back Of the London Mutual policy. 1!. As to security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he reports that it has to the good the $100,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus Si 17,617 making in all a total cash surplus of $517,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpected contingencies. In ad- dition to these cash items it has a subscrib- etl capital of $100,000 not called up. Re- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it. should have on hand is $300,309. To make up this amount in cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a. large amount, W.
