It is said that a London syndicate has established works at Vazon ,Bay, Guernsey, for the extraction of gold from sea water. The water will be drawn from the bay by powerful pumps into a large tank, in .which the gold will be extracted by pro- cess o? (precipitation. The present operations are of an experimental nature. There are said to be two grains of gold in a ton of sea water. There are seven .thousand grains in a pound weight, so that three thousand five hundred tons of sea water would have to be treated in order to obtain £50. By the time the cost in wages and pumping and plant and ell sorts of other things had been reckoned up i.n dealing with fhree thousand five (hundred tons of sea water, even if the two grains of gold per ton were obtained, there would, I fear, be nothing left. No, I do not think I will try to become a millionaire by extracting gold from sea .water. I would rather try to extract the required gold from the sort of people who -believe in palmistry and faith healing. THE LEARNING OF CHAFTS. I served seven years as an apprentice to learn the art and mystery of the craft of printing. I still believe in apprentice- ship, where possible, as the best means of training youths, but times have altered since 1855 and apprenticeships are now practi-oally impossible owing to many changes, both in the crafts and in the relations of youths to employment and employers. I am aware that there is now a reaction in favour of apprenticeship but I do not think the old system will ever be ,brought back again. The other day I read that "the fact is now being generally acknowledged by all public educational authorities that the system of apprentice- ship to trades is one of the most import- iant methods of solving the unemployed question." Th& 'thing is practically im- possible, as I will try to show. WTien I was an apprentice there was very little machinery in an ordinary printing works, or in any other workshop. Now there are m/achmes for everything, not only i<n printing offices, but in every place wher-: crafts are practised. In the fifties a printer set up the type, printed the shepts, folded them pressed them, stitched them, and cut the edges. In thes.e days the type is set by machinery, the printing is done by machinery, the paper is cut by machinery, the books are stitched by machinery, and they are trimmed by machinery. In a sense it is impossible to apprentice a youth to printing now as youths were apprenticed in 1855. What is true of printing is true of all sorts of crafts. Nobody does all the work from first to last in a craft as in the old days. There are sewing machines, plan- ing machines, drilling machines, and machines of a thousand other kinds. In small towns and rural districts there were all sorts of crafts sixty years ago, but now the craftsmen have passed away and the crafts are carried on in great workshops, full of all sorts of complicated machines which do their work with a speed and all (accuracy which are bewildering. The workmen tend the machines In the old days a youth was apprenticed and he learnt his craft thoroughly and was master of it from first to last. Now a youth is not apprenticed, but is. taken into L works and he has to pick up some branch, or more branches than one, and in the end he finds his place or docs not find it but he is not a craftsman in the old sen so of tb(? term. j Another reason for the decay of appren- ticeship is the unwillingness of youths to obey those in authority. They will not be taught, and it is so impossible to exercise command over them that employers will not take the risks that are entailed by apprenticeship. The employer does net want apprentices who feel that they are making the fortunes of those who aro teaching them a craft. The modern apprentice is more or less a nuisanco ow:ng to the greater freedom of these days compared with the freedom of fifty or sixty years ago. In the fifties an apprentice had to do as he was told with- out question. In these days he will only do what he pleases, and the result is that he learns nothing until experience teaches him the value of obedience. In these days the great task of workmen is ho prepare work for the machines. The workmen do not do the work themselves. They get it ready for the machines. t I do not believe that there can be a revival of the apprenticeship system. trbe conditions of work and the relation- Bib ips of workmen have all been altered, as Wily those can realise who "served their time" fifty years ago and are now employers ¡ of labour under modern conditions. I think I learnt more as an apprentice than I have ever learnt since. That first seven years was not the only apprenticeship I served to crafts. SNOBOPOLIS. At Cardiff, when deaths are announced, it is customary to state when the funeral will be and that the attendance will be confined to "gentlemen only." Wonder- ful PI-lee Cardiff. The right name for it is Snobopolis. PROTECTING FOOLS. I do not see how palmist fools can be protected. A person who thinks that his character, or his temperament, or his future, or his final fate can be read by a palmist or a phrenologist is hopeless. He must give his money and take his chance. That is not the sort of person to be helped by a paragraph in a newspaper like this. The palmist knows as soon as he sees his customer that he is more or less dotty, and he acts accordingly.

ECHO OF THE XEJL-l. Rubbish! INCREASE IN MODESTY. Owing to a considerable in,crease of modesty in the United States, Venuses, Cupids, and Apolios will in future have to wear shirts or shifts, according to their Siex. A naked marble statue is more than the modest American can bear LEFT OUT. There has been a conference of Cardi- ganshire poets. I was not asked to b/e present and did not even know that a conference had been held until I saw a notice of it in the newspapers. Then I was sad. Just think of being a real, live poet., and in some respects not a small one, and not being thought worthy of inclusion in the list of those who have known poetic facts and fancies—heights and depths, glooms and raptures. Ah, well, there is no help for it. Poets are familiar with neglect, and it can often be traced in their verse. LEFT. He was old. Time had marred his face and form. All those who once bad loved him were now dead And he had nothing left but memories That lay far back when youth and hope were strong. He had outlived his fears and it was thought. He also had outlived the need for love. One day his grandson, standing by his chair, Said, "Grandpa, were you once a little boy "And will I grow to be as old as you?" The old man said Yes, I was onoe a boy, Smaller than you a lot, and voun<ror too. "But that is many, many-years ago. As you will understand in days to come, •" When you are not less, old than I am now." "Grandpa, are you not sorry you are old, "And cannot go abollt or piav at baft, "But are left here alone all through the day not a single one to talk to VOI1?" The old man deftly dashed a tear aside And placed his hand upon the young boy's head. Silent he sat awhile, then slowly said: The old are not as lonely as you think, Xor have they any pressing need to talk, For they can see all that they ever knew. "But tell me. grandpa, why do we crow old— And have baltt heads and wrinkles on our face: "I am much older than some other boys, "But I don't want to be an old, old man." The boy went off to join his mates at play The old man seemed to settle down to sleep. But both were thinking of what each had said And asking if the other understood. Next day the conversation was renewed And something near akin to love was theirs. The boy was much more staid; the man more young And both had passed from mere relation- ship. They now were friends and he who once was left Found age was lifted and fresh joy was born. WHY. 0, WHY? A Nonconformist minister says: "I was never such a fool as to think that people ever came to church to hear me preach." Then, why, 0, why does that minister preach ? Is it just because lie :5 paid for it? TFE SHALf. SEE Lord Strathcona predicts that Canada will have a population of 100,000,003 before the close of this century. If he is wrong, I shall remind him of this prophesy. I suppose his lordship would not take a bet on the subject. HAS HE? "Has my husband any right to go for holidays without taking me?" was a poser presented by a woman at Clerkenwell Policy Court. Put in another way, this question really asks whether a. husband has any right to have a holiday at all, for how could some husbands have holidays if their wives went. with them? STILL THEY COME. Liverpool, it is said, is going to provide Merionethshire with another possible or impossible candidate. He is prepared to give a pledge that he will not accept any employment until Disestablishment has been accomplished. What? Would he not even accept a knighthood, or a baronetcy, or a. peerage? How brimming over with self-sacrifice some people are. CELT A INLY. A Manchester paper wants to know if Englishmen are inferior to Germans? YfS, some of them! J CHEAT BIJJ. Mr. Lloyd George's Development of Roads and Improvement Bill will do as much for the whole of the United King- dom as his London Port Bill which is now an Act. will do for London. If there is any Liberal and Conservative conflict over this measure then the squabblers do not care for the welfare of the people, and that fact must be brought home at any cost to the tens of millions of people who would be helped by that measure to a safer, freer, and more prosperous and comfortable life. A Bill of this kind has been needed for centuries and it should be passed with all the speed that is possible and with all the help that wisdom can afforu. It will save land, help locomotion, prevent sick- ness, increase prosperity, prevent dis aster, and develop national and loclal resources. CLE AX corrs. A Cincinatti owner of £75,000 worth of Jersey oows declares that he has largely increased the quantity and quality of his milk, because the cows are bathed and their teeth are cleaned with a brush daily. I believe in clean cows and am pre- pared to start a. fund to provide brushes to clean the teeth in the upper jaw of all the cows in Wales if somebody will undertake to provide brushes to clean the teeth in the lower jaw of all the cows. This is an offer that ought to be seized with avidity. The teeth of cows certainly ought to be cleaned, especially the upper jaw teeth. The Coast. J.G.

Downie's Trustees. The monthly meeting was held at the Town Hall yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, there being present the Rev. M Jones Powell, vicar, presiding; J. D. Perrott. F. R. Roberts. G. Fossett Roberts, Peter Jones, C. M. Williams, Isaac Hopkins, George Wilkinson, and Evan Evans, clerk On the application of Miss Purton, hon. secretary, it was agreed to allow the annual grant of E30 to the District Nursing Association, as well as the monthly grant of £ 1 for nourishment. In applying for a grant toward Allty- mynvdd Sanatorium, Mrs. A. J. Hughes stated that £ 40 had been contributed by the Town Council. She had guaranteed to find the sum of C75. Several of the churches and chapels had promised to con tribute. A patient from Aberystwyth had been in the Sanatorium for three months. The Clerk said he had since seen Mrs. Hughes wTho informed him that the collec- tions exceeded her anticipations iind the deficiency was only C6. It was decided to vote that amount. The following letter dated August 2nd was read from the Charity Commis- sioners:—"Adverting to the application which accompanied your letter ofo the 12th June last, I am to refer you to ite previous correspondence and particularly to the letter addressed to you from this office on the 23rd March, 1907. The Commissioner^, are still of opinion that the better course will be that a scheme should be established" with a view to the reconstitution of the governing body, and I am accordingly to enclose a form in which application may be conveniently made for the necessary order, of the Board." The Clerk added that he had a copy of the correspondence which took in 1907. Replying to Mr. Fossett Roberts, he said the letter of June 12th was with reference to the nomination of two new trustees. Replying to the Chair, man, the Clerk addeo that the Trustees did not acquiesce with the sugges. tion of the Commissioners that the nomina. tion of two trustees should be vested in the Board of Guardians, two in the man- agement of the Infirmary, one iji the gov- erning body of the College, with the Mayor of the borough as ex-offieo .and five mem- bers instead of four appointed by the Town Council. The Clerk referred to fur- then correspondence which had taken place and said he had received from the Commissioners a.00py of the correspond- ence between them and certain local people. Mr. Hopkins asked what the College knew about the poor of Aberystwyth ? (Laughter.) They were too busy with education in the College. With regard to the Board of Guardians, he thought they were going to be done away with He could not understand who was planning the new scheme. The Chairman said the point of the dis- cussion was whether it was advisable to change the scheme at all. Mr Peter Jones said the clause dealing with the administration of the income was a comprehensive one. The Clerk added that he wrote to the Commissioners enclosing the resolution passed on July 4th %'hen the majority of the Trustees decided to adhere to the existing scheme under which the bequest wras administered. He received no reply to that letter. Since then the Trustees had made a fresh application for the ap- pointment of two new trustees. All that the Commissioners said in reply was to refer them back to previous corres- pondence. Replying to Mr Wilkinson, the Chair- man said the only interpretation he could find for the suggestions made by the Trustees was that they desired a more re- presentative administration, but he be- lieved they were perfectly mistaken. Mr Peter Jones pointed out that the charity was limited in area. As far as the locality was concerned, there was no con- nection between the College, or the Board of Guardians, and the charity. Consider- ing the objects to be attained and the ad- ministration of the present constitution, he did not think there could be any im- provement. He proposed that the Clerk should reply drawing the attention of the Commissioners to the previous resolution and state that no reason was assigned to vary the terms of the scheme dealing with the appointment of new trustees and also that the Commissioners should be asked to complete the appointments. Mr Hopkins having seconded the pro- position, Mr Williams proposed as an amendment that each member should be supplied with a copy of the suggestions made by the Commissioners. While he did not approve some of the suggestions, he be lieved it was possible for the Trustees to suggest an improvement in the present scheme. Air. Peter Jones said he did not under- stand that the Commissioners suggested any change in the scheme. They only re. j'erred to the constitution of the Trustees, and on the face of it their suggestion seemed ridiculous. He considered the present scheme was preferable. The Chairman said the delay of the Com j missioners in the appointment of new trustees seemed rather inexplicable. He took it that the object of the proposition was to impress on them the necessity of completing the appointments in order to have a more representative attendance of trustees before considering any amc-ncimeut of the scheme, Mr. Wilkinson thought the present scheme was better and more representative than the one outlined by the Commis- sioners, although the danger of having a sort of ring nught be obviated by having a larger scheme Mr. F. R. Roberts suggested as an add,- tion to the proposition that the Trustees had further considered the suggestions of the Commissioners and were of opinion that the present mode of nominating trustees was preferable to the scheme suggested. Mr. Peter Jones having accepted the addition to his proposition, Mr. Williams said he entirely disagreed with it. He thought it was advisable to make sugges- tions for an improvement more in accord, ance with the democratic age. Whether a man was churchman or nonconformist, the proper course was to appoint those who had served the Trustees faithfully. The history of previous appointments was a dis- grace to any charitable trust. If the towns people voted on the question, they would be in favour of a change in the constitu- tion. Mr. Hopkins said one Churchman and one Nonconformist were appointed as trustees. The Chairman saivi he was so to speak, the only official denominationalist present. The. question ought to be considered entirely apart from that. In any action he might take as chairman, he hoped to be perfectly indiscriminate as far as the denominations were concerned. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W ilkinson—Sectarianism should have no part in this work. I have not seen a vestige of it since I have been here. The amendment was not seconded and on being put to the meeting, the proposition was carried, Mr Williams only voting against.

EGLWYSFACH Pastoral.—The Rev. J. Vincent Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jones BryndvS, and pastor of the South Side Congregational Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., has been extended a call by the Centennial Con- gregational Church of Cleveland. The Cleveland charge is one of the most flourislhing Welsh American churches 1ll the State and carries with it a substan- tial salary and a commodious parsonage. The various W .elsh charges in Pittsburgh are arduous fields, due to the scattered conditio?! of tjhe membership and -1re South Siae Church is no exception. Numerically the Cleveland congregation is twice as large as that of the sister church in Pittsburgh, the members are less scattered, and the field is more invit- ing. Mr. Jones is comparatively & young man, and is an excellent preacher, being a fluent speaker in Welsh a Is well as English. His departure from the dis- trict will be a distinct loss to the Welsh community of Pittsburgh, as he had taken an active interest in every movement of interest to his nationality.
