 FIeId Notes.
 Mir. s. NJ. Allis and parry have just re- turned from survey of two land grants in the southern portion of this county The San Rafael del Va1le grant is situated on the San Pedro river, commencing about three miles above Charl, ston, and is three miles m width ny ten miles in iength, and includes some excellent land Mr. Allis speaks of country to the west of this grant, which he says is the finest pee of gr zing land he has seen in the Territory. It is level tract, stretching away toward the Hna,hucas, forming beautiful meadow, with scarcely a rock Tor the surveyors monument. There is a scarcity of water, but MT. Allis thinks probably supply can be obtained in the foothills, and also in the plain by boring.
 The San 1gnacio Babacomori grant is in the Babacomori Valley and is three miles wide by twenty miles long. The west half Of this grant was generally supposed 10 be without water but Mir, Allis dis covered three fine springs in sandstone formation, which indicates that they are never dry. This is also an excellent grazing country, with considerable SUD- ply of good timber. There is also grand oak forest stretching away from the grant 10 the foothills of the Patagonia Noun. tains.

A Strange Discovery.

Vulcanite, the waterproof making sub
stance discovered by New York man
recently, has been briefly alluded to in
the papers. Eight years ago the discoy-
erer thought of utilizing the sticky juice
of the common milkweed. He bought
ten-acre lot and cultivated it, let the
gum dry and harden in the stalks, then
extract 1t, and by the process which he
has patented produced vulcanized rub
ber, and from 1t q solution in which to
soak the most delicate fabrics, render
ing them perfectly waterproof. AS
Cincinnati Gazette correspondent says,
they are not injured in the least, either
in texture or appearance, and yet their
qualities are so completely changed that
whereas before treatment they would
have been irretrievable ruined by sin
gle drop of water coming In contact with
them, they can after treatment be thrust
into a pail of water without injury
The Gazette man saw 1t tested on deli
cate colored silks, broadcloth, velvet,
cotton and woollen goods, and cloths of
various kinds, and the articles such as
kid gloves, furs, ostrich plums,etc. The
action of the solution seems TO be such
as to incase every fibre Of the material
in film impervious to water, yet this
film is invisible. The pores Of the tex
ture are not filled up, as is the case with
the waterproof goods known heretofore,
for water can be forced by pressure into
them, but the capillary attraction is en-
tirely destroyed, and water standing on
the goods gathers into round drops like
mercury upon fiat surface, and runs
off almost MS quickly when the level Is
changed.

Origin Of fractional Currency.

THE origin of the fractional currency,
i which has been In the past few
years superseded by fractional silver, is
somewhat peculiar and not generally
known. The appearance of this curren-
cy, which at first was always spoken of
as "postal currency" was due to the
premium on specie. In 1852 small
change became very scarce. Gold being
up and taking with 1t silver, these coins
disappeared from circulation. Stock
ings were brought out, and the precious
metals found their way to the heels and
toes. 1t was more than days search
to find flve-cent silver piece or any
other small denomination of the coin.
People could not find exchange for small
transactions. In buying dinner In the
market change had to be taken in beets,
cabbage, potatoes and what not. Cen
eral Spinner was then treasurer of the
United States. He was constantly APP
pealed TO from all quarters to do some
thing 20 supply the demand for small
change. He had no law under which
he could act. But after buying half
dollars worth of apples several times
and receiving for his halfdollar in
change more or less different kinds of
produce, he began to cast around for
substitute for small change In his di-
lemma he bethought him of the postage
stamp. lie sent down to the post.ofIlce
Department and purchased quantity of
stamps. He then ordered up package
Of paper upon which government securi-
ties were printed He cut the paper in
In various sizes. One of the pieces
he pasted stamps to represent different
amounts. He thus initiated substi-
tute for fractional silver. This was not,
however, a government transaction in
any sense. 1t could not be. General
Spinner distributed his improvised cur
rency among the clerks of the Depart
ment. They took it readily. The idea
spread the postage stamps, either de-
tached or pasted upon q piece of paper,
became the medium of small exchange.
1t was dubbed "postal currency" From
this Gen. Spinner got his idea of the
fractional currency and went before
Congress with 1t. That body readily
acc epted II, and, but short time after
General Spinner had begun pasting op-
erations, law was on the statute book
providing for the issue of the fractional
currency which became so popular.
The fac-simile of postage stamps was
put upon each piece of currency, and
for long time it was known hs postal
currency" The introduction OF postal
stamps as money entalled considerable
loss to those who handled them. In a
short time they would not take a letter
on its way, and were therefore worth
less.

A Curious Discovery.

Recently Mr.. Newton Davis, Of West
Alexandria Ohio, cut down tree about
six feet In circumference, In the centre
OF. which was cavity of about seven
inches squsre, partly filled with some
rotten kind of wood and roll of cloth,
which erumbled when touched Inside
Of all was German Catholic prayer
book, bound in leather and much worn,
The book was printed in 1923, and hal
Latin introduction, while some OF the
blank leaves are filled with writing In
French, part of which is unintelligible,
but enough is easily read to show that
the owner was a French soldier, tells
what battalion, and mentions the name
of one of the officers as De La Mango.
1t may be of interest to members of the
Historical Society. A growth of az
least five inches over the whole where IL
had been slipped into the tree hermetic-
ally sealed and preserved the book. The
book taken from an oak tree by Mr.. Da-
Wis is u collection of Catholic prayers
printed in German. 1t Is called "Tbe

seems to have been prepared especially
for soldiers and travellers. 1t contains
morning and evening prayers, prayers
before mass, before confession, before an
engagement, after victory, ETC., etc.
Fly leaves contain German and French
writing, but no name of the owner
The name of his commander, division,
and battalion are, however, given. The
book was evidently put into tree by
one of the soldiers passing from one TO
another of the French trading posts
which extended from the lakes to the
mouth of the Mississippi, $50 years ago.
