the topic at once became of absorbing
interest. People were over-powered
by the magnitude of these riches.
Every one Will want Klondike mining

better chances than The Joseph Ladue

DARIEN BOYS MISSING.

Strange Disappearance of Salandrew and
Charles Edward Bowell Toombs.

‘remember the

Mrs. Toombs, a colored woman who
occupies a neat little cottage on Locust
Hill, Darien, hunted yeste1 day for he1
sons, Salandrew, aged 17 years, and
Charles Edward Rowell. aged 15. The
boys were Well knowu and industrious,
doing any kind of work they could get.
They were frequently‘employed at the
Wee Burn links as caddies, and in ad-
dition to this, Charles, the younger
lad, had quite a newspaper route over
Noroton Heights. The mother and
sister, who are the only other members
of the family, go out and work almost
every day. Both the women went out
on Tuesday, leaving the boys at home.
On the mother’s return, at half-past
seven in the evening, she found .the
place shut up, and no sign of the boys
anywhere about. After a little time
she got anxious about them, and made
inquiries, finding that the last seen of
them was in Darien, about five o’clock
in the evening.

The mother and daughter said that
they suspected the boys were enticed
away by a colored man named Henry
Aiken of N orwalk. . Aiken was a sailor
on the U. S. S. Panther, and finished
his time about a month ago. He came
to N orwalk to stay with a brother, and
found his way quite frequently to the
Toombs house, where Miss Toombs was,
according to her own statement, the
main attraction. She and her mother
both disliked Aiken, and told him so.

“But,” continued Miss Toombs, “he

was the kind of a man you couldn’t in- ‘

sult, and he kept on coming; because
he liked the boys, he said. He asked
mamma to let him take them to Coney
Island, but mamma thought he was not

the kin‘d‘ofa'man to let the boys go p

with, so she didn’t let them go. He
was always bringing them presents,
and the boys liked him, and I think
because mamma and myself didn’ t
want him around, he took my- brothers
away for spite. '

The mother, sister and uncle came ;

to Norwalk to see Aiken, and “he
didn’t seem surprised when we told
him. He hasn’t been here since they
went away, and that seems funny if he
was so fond of the boys.”

In looking over the house for some
clue-as to their whereabouts,the mother
found notes in different places. One
said that they had gone to New Haven
and to keep the note for ever and ever,
and they would'come back when they
got rich. Another note had it that
they had gone to Boston, and a third
One that they had gone tramping.

“They didn’t read any books,” said
she, “only the newspapers, and mamma
didn’t want them to read about murders
and suicides. It was real cruel of them
to do such a thing after mother work-
ing so hard to keep us together and
train them up right. But they shouldn’t
go with Aiken; if he tried to persuade
them he didn’t carry them away. I
know I wouldn’t go if any one tried to
persuade me, and I won’t have any-
thing to do with them if they ever
come bacx, because they know how
mamma suffered after father went
away. He went away twelve years ago
and those boys knew it and it was real
cruel of them.”

Being asked if they had any money,
she said that Charlie had a quar‘tei
that he had made by selling news-
papers, and they might have more, as
they got money as caddies, which they
were allowed to keep.

Mrs. Toombs went to First Select-
man Raymond and asked him to help
in finding her boys. Mr. Raymond
notified the police of Norwalk, telling
of the woman’s suspicions regarding
Aiken.

Mrs. Toombs went to Stamford yes-

terday-morning to see the police. and

she struck the right place. Chief Bow-
man made her happy by finding her
boys in a very few minutes. They

were with an uncle.

Embroidered Mousseline do Sole Gown.

Gowns of embroidered mousseline de
soie have been extremely fashionable
this summer, and, as they always are
made" up on silk linings, will be quite
warm enough for autumn wear. These
gowns are too dainty as well as too
elaborate for general use, and are only
suitable to be wern in afternoon and

evening
The smart costurns shown in‘ our
illustration, taken from Harper’s

‘Bazar, is made of mousseline de soie
embroidered with a chinille polka dot.

The skirt in hell shape is trimmed
with scant ruflies of the material, with
a satin puche at either edge; these

ruffles are close together at the waist,

but broaden out at the foot of the 91:11 t,
and go entirely around it at the back;

’across the front breadth there are

three rows of the ruching.

EMBROIDERED MOUSSELINE DE 5013 GQWN

FROM HARPER'S BAZAR

The waist is very odd in design, made
of heavy white lace and trimmed with
straps of cei‘ded black satin, the bands
of different sizes broader. at the bust
than at the neck or waist; the belt,
however, made also of the corded satin,
is quite wide.
and large bow at the back .of the collar

are made of plain white mousseline dc

soie.

The (sleeves, are tight-fitting,
strapped with satin ruches from the
shoulder-to the wrist, with epaulettes
of the heavy lace to match the body of
the waist, while at the wrist are ruffles
of finer. lace.

The hat worn with this costume is of

fine pale yellow straw trimmed with '

long ostrich plumes, and directly in
fronta resette of black satin ribbon;
under the brim. quite far back at the
left side. is another satin rosette.

PERSONAL NOTES.‘

Sir John Herschel’s opinion of great
novels was put into these words: “The
novel, in its best form, I regard as one
of the most powerful engines of civili-
zation ever invented. "

Jules Verne, now 70 years old, is liv-
ing at Amiens, France, in robust health
and spirits. He recently told a. friend
that the hardest work he ever had to
do was to read up the stories of trav-
ellers in order to write his own .sto-
rice, for he‘ has travelled very little.

The inventor of Volapuk, Johann
Martin Sch-Ieyer, is a. retired Catholic
priest at Constance. Germany. He first
advanced his ideas in 1879. He was
born in 1831 at Oberlauda, in Baden,
Germany. At present he lives in Con-
stance. His first grammar of Volapuk
appeared in 1879. Schleyer is said to
be more or less familiar with fifty lan-
guages and to be a poet as well as a
musician.

Dr. Ida. M. Stevenson, a. Methodist
missionary physician in Tientsin, Chi-
na, sometimes has two hundred and
fifty patients to treat in a. single day.
The strain on the strength, the sympa-

‘thies and the skill of a. medical mis-

Sionary, brought into contaot day by
day with dreadful cases of poverty, suf-
fering, vice and degradation, cannot be
imagined.

Admiral Sampson is a religious man.

. Some Notes of Internet.

It is a curious fact that the honey-
bee was never known in the United
States till impbrted from England.

Prof. Reginald A. Fessenden of the
Western University of Pennsylvania
has just completed a. portable X~ray
apparatus for use by the surgeons in
the field during the war. The appara~
tus is as large as an unabridged dic-
tionary and will weigh about twenty-
Iive pounds. It is to be operated by
a gas-motor of like weight. and the
generator will be one of the smallest
ever employed in practical work. The
apparatus will supply X-rays of sum-
cicnt quantity and intensity to enable
the surgeons to see through the body,
and should prove a. valuable adjunct
to the equipment of the field hospi«
tale.

A few facts regarding the Whitehead
torpedo may be of interest at the pres—
out time. This instrument carries 220

- pounds of wet gun-cotton,'and weighs

ready for service 1,160 pounds. Its
maximum length is 16 feet 5 inches,
and its greatest diameter is 17.7 inches.
At a. speed of 28 knots per hour it has
a range of about 850 yards. The tor-
pedo is driven by compressed air at a
pressure of‘1,350 pounds per square
inch, which operates a three-stageené
glne.

As a result of experiments by chem-
ists and engineers of the British Ad-
miralty, it has been decided to supply,
all ships equipped with water-turbo
boilers with delicate hydrometers and,
nitrate of silver solution for the de-
tection of the presence of salt in the
feed- circuits. The presence of salt in.
the water-tube boilers has long been a
cause of much annoyance to naval en-
gineers, .and it is hoped that by fre-
quently testing the density and pres-
ence of salt in the water, produced by
evaporation, or formed in the main
condenser, it will be possible to keep
boilers and' fittings in pr‘oner condi-
tion.
