Mr. Arthur Severn has been telling some in. teresting Ruskin stories at the opening of the exhibition at Keswick arranged by Mr. Gill Parker, of the Ruskin Museum in Sheffield. Ruskiu once employed" a dear old Consiston builder "to build a lodge for him. One day the builder, being short of funds, went in fear and trembling to Ruskin, knowing how kind hearted generally the great man really was. After ing

the builder's story Ruskin promptly wrote Lim a cheque for £100, simply saying he should requires receipt for it. Suid the old or rowfully:" I shall hava to put a cross, for I can't write." Ruskin at once sprang to his feet and shook the builder by the hand, exclaiming Now I know how-it-is-you're such a good builder. I congratulate'; you."

"A Bip Van Winkie has appeared in Rangoon," says the Rangoon correspondent of tho Pioneer, and after a sleep of fifty-fire years has awakened to find that Rangoon had changed since its anuszation. "In 1854 grants of Land along the river front were made to a num- ber of individuals, these lands being described as shipbuilding sad timberyard allotuents, because

these were the only industries then in existence. Nowadays there are, beside timber yards, rice mille, dilworkss and other industries, while shipbuilding, as then understood, has departed. But Pip Van Winkle, in the person of the Collector of Rangoon, does not see why these changes should have taken place, so he has served notices on a number of present holders of these allotments to show cause why their lande should not be taken from them in that they have been put to uses not contemplated in 1854,"

As I sat there gazing out on the sweet Somer. setshire landscape, fragments of the conversation drifted across the passage and arrested my attention.

ROCKFELLER'S RICHES.

1. Rockefeller, who had only £1,000 in 1865, is to-day worth about £140,000,000. This computation is made by the daancial expert. of the New York World, who declares further that the Standard Oil King, if he lives until 1919, and attains his sightieth birthday, of £200,000,000. Personally, Mr. Rockefeller has which there seems every chance; will be worth always been vary sesret ira regarding his fortune, says the "World" contributor but reliable... Agures exist, and it is known, for example, that Mr. Rockefelter a holdings in the Standard Oil Company alone have increased by £16,000,000 in the last two youre. Standard Čil stock sold...... the other day at 712, the highest price it has reached sises the pantoTMof of 1907.

Like a snowball rolling down-hill, Mr. Rocks- fellor's wealth is steadily growing and growing, and (says 'the Telegraph'a gorrespondent, wha sends the message) except by big donatione he seems powerless to chook it. Some yours ago the Oil King was quoted as saying that he had not more than £6,000,000, but the latest approximately accurate estimates available place is fortuns in 1905 at least at £110,000,000. Accepting the ratio of increase between 1965 and 1969 as the basis of his estimate, the expert assorts that Mr. Rockofoller will unquestion ably be a dollar billionaire in 1914, and the first in the history of America. Since 1882, when the Standard Oil Company, which pays a dividend of 4) per cent. a year, was organised, it has paid to its stockholders £120,000.000 in dividends, and of this sum Mr. Rockefeller's share has been one quarter.
