Redemption Of Mutilated Currency.

The following changes in the regula-
tons governing the redemption Of de-
faced and mutilated currency of the
United States went into effect on the
lst of January:
After that date defaced and mutilated
United States notes and fractional cur
rency, instead of being redeemable as
now by the Treasurer of the United
States, subject to discount for mutila-
ton, will be redeemable at their full
value in new notes. or currency, by the
Treasurer. and the several Assistant
Treasurers and designated repositories
of the United States, and all National
Bank repositories; and will be received
at their full face value by all officers of
the Treasury Department., in payment
of currency dues to the United States :;
Provided, that three-ffths Of the original
proportion OF such notes are presented
in one piece. Fragments of less than
fve-eighths will be redeemable only by
the Treasurer of the United States. If
more than one-half, and less than FIVE
eighths is presented, half the face value
will be paid. Less than half note will
be redeemed only on affidavit that the
missing portion has been totally de-
stroyed.
Under the new rules, any person,
firm, bank, corporation, or public Off
Ger will be permitted to forward FIVE
dollars and upwards in fractional cur
rency, and fifty dollars and upward in
legal tender notes, for redemption to
the Treasurer, by express, at the ex-
pense of the Department, under the
Government contract with the Adams
Express Company. Heretofore nothing
less than $500 was entitled to trAnspor-
tation at Government expense. A cir
cular embodying these changes is now
preparing in the Treasury office. The
officers OF the Treasury are determined
to remove all cause for complaint con-
corning the condition of the United
States currency, and to that end have
concluded to extend to all the most
liberal facilities for its redemption. 1t
is expected at the Department that the
new rules will result in speedy and
marked improvement of the condition
of the currency.

Torn to Pieces by Liens.

The Bolton correspondent of the
London Daily Echo telegraphs under
date of Jan. g.: I" Last night Massarti,
the lion-tamer ct Mander's Menagerie,
now exhibiting in this town, was torn
to pieces by the lions with which he
was performing. He struck one of the
lions on the nose, which Immediately
seized him by the scalp, and tore it al
most off. The other lions then sprang
upon him, and tore off the flesh COM
pletely from the lower part OF his back
and thighs, and inflicted serious inju-
ries upon his chest, breaking. also, his
right and only arm. The excitement in
the show was SO intense that the slides
dividing the cage could not be got in.
One of the lions then dragged their vic
tim from the separate compartment
back to the Infatuated group, which
again set upon him. The mangled
body of the hon-tamer was then re-
rovered and taken to the In6rmary,
where, however, he died in ten min
| utes.n

A Runaway Pond.

An East Hardwick w.t. letter to the
Portland Press revives the following
curious bit of local history
Long Pond, or, as it is now better
known, Runaway Pond" is situated
partly in Glover and partly in Green's
boro. This pond was one and half
miles long, and half mile wide, and
formerly discharged its water southerly
into Lamoille river. On the 9th day of
June, 1910, about fifty persons went to
this pond for the purpose of opening an
outlet to the north into Barton river,
that the mills on that stream might re-
ceive an occasional supply of water.
A small channel was excavated, and the
water commenced running in north
erly direction. 1t happened that the
northern barrier of the pond con-
sisted entirely of quicksand, ex-
cept an encrusting of clay next
to the water. The sand was
Immediately removed by the cur
rent, and large channel formed, and
the crust of clay was incapable of sus-
tanning the mass of water and broke, so
that the whole pond Immediately took
a northerly course, and in fifteen min
utes' time the bottom of the pond was
bare. 1t was discharged SO suddenly
that the country below was instantly
| inundated.
The deluge advanced in a wall of
waters sixty or seventy feet high, and
twenty rods wide, leveling forests and
hills and filling up valleys, sweeping off
mills, houses and barns, fences and cat
tie as it passed, for a distance of ten
miles, and barely giving the inhabitants
sufficient notice TO escape. A rock sup
posed to weigh one hundred tons was
removed half mile from its bed. The
waters moved SO rapidly that they
reached Lake Memphremagog, twenty
seven miles distant in about six hours
from the time they left the pond. The
dry bed of the pond remains; portion
IS a cultivated field, and to-day there
are many stacks of hay there. For the
last forty years the stage-road from
Montpelier to Barton has passed through
this DRY Pond" and many tourists
visit it as a great curiosity.

A Rrain Exp0sed.

There is a curious case at the Military
AsylumMaine, which excites considera-
biz interest among the medical profess
sion. One of the inmates there had
some disease of the scalp, which resulted
in necrosis of the bone, so that quite a
large piece of the plate of the skull
dropped out, taking with it both the
dura and pia matter, leaving the deli
cate arachnoid membrane as the only
covering over the substance of the brain.
Tho man seemed quite cheerful, and
other than this has enjoyed good
health.

A National Liquor Bill.

In England, as in every other land, the
greatest popular expense at present is
theliquor bill. Taxes are heavy there, no
doubt; royalty, too, costs round sum !;
pauperism is drag up n industrial en-
terprises the Government expenditure
is immense; but all these drawbacks to
prosperity are eclipsed by the money
expended for drink. From publica-

The Inventor of Bessemer Steel.

1t is probably not generally under
stood that the Bessemer steel process is
really an American invention, and that
the term is itself misnomer. The pro-
cess was discovered and used by Mr..
Kelly, in the State of Kentucky, long
before Mr.. Bessamer was ever heard of.
As soon as Mr.. Kelly heard that Besse-
mer had brought ous the process in
England, he at once applied for a
patent, placing the matter in the hands
of q patent solicitor, who retained the
papers just long enough to notify Bes-
semer, the latter securing the patent.
However, Kelly had procured caveat,
and after a hearing by the Commits
sioner of Patents, the case was decided
in his favor. Some years after the
patents of Kelly, Bessemer and Mushet
were consolidated in one company.
All the patents having expired in 1871.
renewals were refused to all except
Kelly, who secured an extension OF
seven wears

NilssOn,s Lost Diamonds.

A St. Louis dispatch of the 18th says ::
1t will be recollected that last May
Christina Nilsson lost several diamonds
from a car window while on her way
from Memphis to this city that a re-
ward of $500 was offered for their recov-
cry, and that in August last Patrick
FIynn's calf unearthed them in front of
Flynn's cabin, near Desota, on the Iron
Mountain railroad. Nilsson was mott
fed that her diamonds were found, and
it is stated she wrote Flynn to keep
them until her arrival here on Monday.
Flynn came to the city, called at the
Southern Hotel to see Miss Nilsson. but
while telling his story in the hotel Office
was arrested, taken to the police station,
and, as he alleges, required to give up
the diamonds. Flynn feeling he had
been forced to yield possession of the
jewels in an unjust manner, and that
his chances for procuring the reward
were slight, put the case in the hands OF
lawyer, who to-day had an interview
with Mr.. Jarrett, Nilssons agent, and
the matter was settled by paying Flynn
500. The diamonds were stated to be
worth $4,000, but now their value is es
tiOatad at nplv about Sd00

SYNOPSIS OF THE PAST TwENrY-FOUR HoUaE.
The barometer has risen since Thursday
afternoon throughout the Atlantic States,
and is now highest from Florida to Cape
Hatteras 1t has begun to fall in New Eng
MID from iDwpt
lakes to Texas. The lowest pressure has
moved eastward into Iowa and Wisconsin.
A sudden fall has also occurred at San
Francisco.
The temperature has risen in the Middle
and Eastern States and westward to the
Mississippi The northerly winds on the
Atlantic coast have very generally backed
to southwest and south. Fresh and brisk
southerly winds are reported from the gulf
coast northward to the lakes, as also from
San Francisco. Clear and partially cloudy
weather has very generally prevailed i'll the
Southern and Middle States during Friday.
and cloudy weather is now reported FROM

PROBABILITIES.
An area Of low barometer will probably
move eastward over Indiana and Michigan
to the lower lakes on Saturday, preceded
by brisk southwest winds extending Fri
day night eastward to New York and Ken
lucky, with increasing cloudiness, and pos
sibly light rain. Increasing southerly
winds, with rain, will prevail on the gulf
coast on Saturday, and southeast winds
and cloudy weather will prevail from

The demand was only moderate. but the
supply, also, was light, which prevented
factors giving way to the extent claimed by
buyers, although apparently willing to meet
the demand more freely, and at rather ea-
sier rates. The sales were, consequently,
confined to the amount noted above. Prices
showed considerable irregularity, and some
sales were made at figures indicating de-
cline of lsc; but at the close the weight of
opinion was in favor of retaining previous
quotations, with the remark that they were
barely maintained. Good ordinary sold at
