Better Than Cold
Old Bones May be Worth a
Fortune—and a Smoking
Fire a Pointer to
Wealth.
An American artist named Mott
travelled to the Pribylov Islands in n
sealing vessel a year ago to paint
some pictures of eeais in their native
home, end ono day noticed a curious
bank of sand lying close along the
shore,
lie dug into It, and found beneath
the »and a mass of bones. They were
seal hones—millions of thein ---which
had been flung up by the sea In the
course Of centuries.
Further search , has shown that
there are miles of these bone deposits
along the shores of the islands. One
Pile lo a mile long, half a mile wide,
end six feet deep. Now, hones are
one of the best of all fertilizers, and
the value of the And is sluply gigantic
---far greater than that of any gold
mine.
This 'brings to mind the case of
the wandering prospector who, years
ago,n'hile crossing r desert In Wyum-
IIg, canoe across the body of a horse-
which,
orsewhich, though It must have died long
ago, was still fresh and sweet. The
body wes covered with a layer of
line dust, which the prospector re-
cognized as borax. Ile saw the value
of the discovery and sold it to a large
Packing firm In Chicago, who kept'
the secret for a lona; time. Today
the uses of borax are Innumerable,
and range from the preservation of
food down to dressings for tried feet
and lotions for inflamed eyes.
Riches in the Desert
Everyone has heard of Carrara
marble, In 1021 a party of English
tourists exploring the mountains of
Carrara found a dirty o
h't block of marble
which bad evidently fallen from a
cliff overhead, One of the visitors,
who had some knowledge of geology,
noticed that this atone had a pini(
tint which was unusual. The sam-
pie was taken to England, where it
was found to be a new variety. A.
large quarry has already been opened
and is proving very profitable.
Two women, airs. Wilson and Miss
Spencer, were crossing the Mojave
Desert, In Southern California, look -
Ing for gold. They were not success-
ful, and one night, feeling very dia.
couraged, camped on the bank of a
email creek and 11t a fire to cook
their supper. The Are began to
throw out dark, ill -smelling smoke, so
that It was Impossible to go near It
or cook on it, and the poor, tired wo-
men were forced to collect more fool
and light a fresh fire. In the middle
of the night Mrs. Wilson sprang up
suddenly,
"I know what it le." she cried.
"What un earth are you talking
about?" demanded the other woman.
"Asphalt," was the answer; and
she was right. That And proved
much more valuable than a gold mine,
for thick deposit of asphalt cover-
ed many acres and made the fortunes
of many others besides Its discov-
erers.

fence): "Have your bees done well

British hearts in days grou) by, and

Interesting as it might be to retrace
the past and to ilii out how hwuan
slavery originated, it. in much more
Important to face the present and to
grasp the fact that. between four and
six millions of our fellow human crea-
tures are even today living enslaved
In tills beautiful world.
Where are they? n perplexed read'
er may inquire. 1)11 not Brent )3ri-
tain abolish slavery once and for all
1n 1833?
The answer is that the vast ma-
jority of slaves to -day are in .hhys-
slide, China, and the Arabian area.
Great Britain did, a century ago, mance
valiant efforts to stamp out the plague
of slavery. In 1772, by Lord Mans,
field's celebrated judgment, it bce(uno
illegal to hold a slave In England. 1n
language which has been quoted a
thousand times: If slave sets foot on
English soli he becomes a free man,
"The Underground Railway,"
in 1807 Great Britain abolished the
trade In slaves between any of her
Dominions (including England) and
Africa. Ie 1833 she completed her
task by emancipating all those who
were held in slavery is any of her
Dominions. But Great Britain could
not—and cannot now—contl'nl the
whole of the rest of the world.
Readers of "Uncle 't'om's Cabin"
will recall Eliza's celebrated journey
over the ice. 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 colony, she woni(1 automati-
cally become a freo woman.
Those who assisted fugitive slaves
thee to freedom by sheltering them
and passing them on at night to the
next safe Balt were said to run "The
Underground Railway." But all
slaves to -day cannot solve their prob-
lem by the simple method of getting
on the soil of the British Empi'0,
although no doubt some hundreds do
gain freedom that way every year,
Stolen From Free Homes
Myriads of slaves are languishing
tinder the worst conditions in Abys-
sinia, of whom man:' aro stolen by
capture from their free homes In Cen-
tral Africa, just as in the old clays of
the traffic in Black Ivory. And Abys-
sinia, mark you, Is a Christian coun-
try! It owns the deep disgrace of
being the last Chrletian country to
tolerate this terrible evil,
The cruel caravan still wends its
weary way across torrid wastes, the
weak and suffering leaving it at their
peril to die of henger and thirst by
the wayside, the strong whipped on
hY the cruel lash, just as of yoro. Vil-
lages go up In smoke, families are
rent asunder, Little maids are sold In-
to concubinage, exactly as the Bible
depicts happening to the ancient
Israelites when they were exiled into
captivity.
Raiding British Territory
To quote from Lady Simon's recent
authoritative book:
"Tho completeness of destruction
by Abyssinian slave raiders is the
completeness of the locnst, but more
cruel. It Is ]mown that many of these
raids have ravaged beyond the Ken•
ya-Abyssinia and the Sudan -Abyssinia
border, The ravages of the slave
trade's on boot sides of these borders
b rd rs
are well known to British officials
Major Doyley tells us of the following
incident connected with one slave
raid. On the trail, he said, he count-
ed the dead and dying bodies of more
than Afty captives who had dropped
by the roaside, For on such journeys
there 1s no commissariat department,
and those who carry no supplies can
hope only for a merciful spear, since
the alternative is death by thirst or
by the teeth and talons of wild beasts.
'Hundreds of square miles of terri-
tory are utterly depopulated by Abys-
sinian raids, Most of this territory
is within the confines of the Abys-
sinian Empire, but part of it Is with-
in the British Empire,
"Abyesiulan raids into tato country
southwest of the Bohm plateau in the
British Sudan aro constant, and with-
in the last six months there have been
several raids Into the Kenya Colony
The depopulation of the border and
the absence of adequate police forces
tempt the Abyssinians to advance
farther and farther: and on one oc-
casion at least they have penetrated
no less than 120 miles into British
territory,"
Slave -owning Is still legal to the
Arabian Peninsula, where markets
are openly held for the sale of slaves
and the Government receives dues on
the individual tal sa1
es The King of
Ilejaz and Nejd Inas agreed to co-
operate with the Grltish Government
to suppress the slava trade, but so
long as slave -owning is permitted, the
trade never roally is sempresaed. It

As Lady Simon has said in her
noble book: "Slavery in the supreme
offence ago not the human race,"
Even if there be such a thing as a
happy slave which 1 doubt ---that wonl0l
be the linal and most clinching argu-
ment against slavery. No one ought
to he happy In his own degradation.

force, from Dr. Johnson to Josephine
Butler, the message calls vibrantly as
of yore: "Remember them that are
In bonds!"
Millons of Slaves Still
The shame of slavery still dls•
graces the world.
A commission of the League ot Na -
Ohms reports that there are "no
fewer than 4,000,000 slaves in the
world to -day; probably the number
Is nearer 0,000,000—people who are
not pe'sons, people who have not the
right to own property, to exercise
their consciences, to direct their own
affairs, or to retain wife and children.
There are at least 2,000,000 in China,
500,000 to 700,000 in Arabia, a con-
siderable number in the hinterland
of Liberia, and a few thousand in
other different parts of the world"
And, according to The Christian Cen-
tury ilInclenominati0nal) from which
we quote these figures, "conditions of
slavery vary from tiro open and tor-
turing slavery of Abyssinia to the
disguised system in China, where
girls who are really household slaves
are treated, according to a legal fic-
tion, as adopted family members. Un-
der the impetus provided by the
League, 185,000 slaves have recently
been set free In Tanganyika; 215,000
in Sierra Leone; 7,501) in Burma,
Sorely," continues The Christian Cen-
tury, "with the facts thus known, the
public opinion of the, world will sup.
port the League In whatever efforts
it may inaugurate to wipe out the
lost vestiges of human bondage,"
