Worth a Fortune—and a Smoking Fire a Pointer to Wealth, An American artist named Mott travelled to the Pribyiov Islands in a sealing vessel' a year ago to paint some pictures of seals In their native house, and one day noticed a curious bank of sand lying close along the shore. Ile dug into it, and found beneath the sand a masa of bones. They were seal boues—millions of them—which load been flung up by the sea in the course of centuries. further search has shown that there are miles or these bone deposits along the shores of the islands. One Pile is a mile long, half a• mile wide, and Sia feet deep. Now, bones are one of the best of all fertilizers, and the value of tee find Is sjmply gigantic —far greater than that of any gold ranine. Tilis brings to mind the ease of the wandering prospector who, years ago, while crossing t,, desert in Wyom- ing, came across the body of a horse which, though it must have died long ago, was still fresh and sweet, The body was covered with a layer of flue dust, which the prospector re- cognized as borax. xIe saw the value of the discovery and sold it to a large packing firm 111 Chicago, who kept -the secret for a long time, To -day the uses of 'borax are innumerable, aud range from tho preservation offood down to dressings for tried feat .and lotions for inflamed eyes.

By Helena Noi'etanton, B.A. "Remember them that are iu heeds?" The message thrilled through British hearts in days gone by, and this country took the lead in a crus- ade for the freeing oftheslaves. But this dark blot en civilization stili per- sists—and even in a Christian coun- try.` It is up to us to do our part to remove It and for ever. Philosophers toll us that Man is marked oft from the animals by tine gift of laughter and the use of tools. It might be added,tliat animals do not sell each other into captivity. , Men Interesting as it might be to retrace the' past and to find out.now human' slavery originated, It is much More important to face the presentsand to grasp the fact that between four and six millions of our fellow human ci'ea- tures are even to=day Hang enslaved lathis beautiful world. • Where are they? a perplexed read- er :May ,inquire, Aid not Great Bri- tain abolish slavery once and for all in 1833? - The answer is that the vast ' ma- jority of slaves 'to -day are in. AGM. sinia, China, and ,the: Arabian area. Great Britain dict, a century ago, make valiant efforts to Stamp out the plague: of •slavery. : In 1772, be' Lord Mans- field's celebrated judgment; it became illegal to hold a slave in England, la language which has been quoted a• thousand times:.

Iu 183e site completed her task by• emancipatiag all- those who were held lie slavery, in any of her Dominions, But Great Britain could not -and cannot now—control the whole of the rest of the world. Readers of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will recall Eliza's celebrated journey aver the fee, Like every other fugi- tive American slave before the Civil War of 1865, her idea was to get north into Canada, wherein, as Canada was a British eoloiny, she would automati- cally become a free woman. Those who assisted fugitive slaves thus to freedom by sheltering them and paseing them on at night to the next safe halt were said to run "The Underground Railway." But all slaves to,tlay cannot solve their prob- lem by the simple method of getting ole t•t the soil of the British Empire, although no doubt some hundreds do gain freedom that way every year. Stolen From Free Homes Myriads of slaves are languishing under the worst conditions' in Abys- sinia, of whom many arc; stolen by capture from their free hloutes in Cen- tral Africa, just as in the old days of the traffic int Black Ivory. And Abys- sinia, marls you, is te Christian come try 1 It owns the deep disgrace of being the last Christian country to tolerate this terrible evil.

The ravages of thle slave traders on both tildes of these borders are well kuowa to British officials Major Barley tells us of the following incident connected with one slave raid. On the -ti -all, he said, he count- ed the dead and dying bodies of more than fifty captives who had dropped by the.roaside.

"Hundreds ofsquare miles of terri- tory are utterly depopulated by Abys• einfan raids.
