Of the women employed in counting bank
notes looked i'll, and had sores upon their
hands or heads. The superintendent
gave the following account of the trouble:
Very tew," he SAID. "who spend any
considerable time in counting money
escape the sores. They generally appear
first on their hands, but frequently they
break out on the head, and sometimes the
ewes are affected. We can do nothing to
prevent this. All of the ladies' take the
greatest care of themselves in their work.
but sooner Or later they are afflicted with
sores. The direct cause of the sores is the
arsenic employed in the manufacture OF
the money If the skin is the least
abraided, and the arsenic gets under the
flesh, a sore will appear the next morning.
The habit that every one has OF putting
the hand to the head and face is the way
the arsenic poisoning is carried to those
portions of the body "See here" said
one of the officials, stopping by the side of
a young lady and picking up glass
vessel containing sponge; this sponge is
wet, and it is used to moisten the fingers
while counting the money. You see how
black it is. That's arsenic. Every morn
ing new sponge is placed on the desk of
each employee, but before the day is over
it is as blaci as this. l have known hall
dozen cases where ladies have been
compelled TO resign their positions. There
are three ladies who were here six years
before they were afflicted with sores.
About three months ago they were so
visited by them that they had to quit
work. They have been away ever since,
and the physician s certificate in each case
says that their blood is poisoned with
arsenic"

A STORY OF SUMNER AND GREELEY
Charles Sumner, many years before he
was known in politics, sought the acquaint-
ance of Horace Greeley in New York.
He found the journalist much engaged,
and was invited by him to come to his
house next morning and take breakfast
Mr.. Sumner was not an early riser, ana
he liked good breakfast when he did get
up. He rather anticipated one in this
case. At the early hour named by Mr..
Gree ev he left the Astor house, took a
stage, and rode several miles up Broad
way, and after much difficulty found the
residence of his new friend at an old
fashioned farmhouse, situated in the middle
of an orchard, between Broadway and the
river, where he was Hospitality received by
the occupant. After considerable conver-
sation with Mr.. Greeley the latter remarked
to his wife, who had come into the room,
that Mr.. Sumner would probably like
something to eat. She expressed doubt
whether there WAS anything in the house
at which Sumner, who was really hungry
after his long ride, was omewhat-well,
surprised, to say the least. "Why, moth
err said Greeley to his wife, you must
have some milk, some bread and milk in
the house." She thought that is might be
20, and soon appeared with mug. two
bowls and some crackers, which she
placed on bare pine table, and the two
Incipient phiianthropists ate their break
fast in peace. Anybody who knows
Sumner and his dainty ways in these
things cnn appreciate the situation. No
doubt 1t was the first and last time he
ever did Justice to bread and milk. The
friend to whom Sumner related this incl
dent had n feeling, which time rather
strengthened, that the older philosopher
was practicng grim joke on the gay and
somewhat festive young man from Boston.
Sumner, however, never could appreciate

GLASS SHINGLEs.-A Pittsburg firm
has been granted patent for the mapu-
facture of shingles composed of glass. 1t
is claimed for this material that it is much
more durable, stronger and more imper-
yious TO rain than slate or any other sub
stance now used. The manufacture of the
shingles will also be comparatively mex
pensive. and can be placed in position by
any ordinary workman. These shingles
have the advantage of slate in several par
ticulars. In consequence of their shape
they lie solid on the roof, and can be used
on comparatively fat roofs, and they will
admit of persons on them without danger
of fracture, quality which slate does not
possess. They are interlocked so as to
leave no inters,ices between them, and
one rivet holds each pair of shingles, so
that they cannot be forced from their
places by the wind or other atmospheric
disturbances. They are also made so as to
have very little waste material. 1t takes
three hundred states, each Sxl2 inches, to
cover what is technically known as a
"sauare" of roof "a square measuring ten
feet either way,) but one hundred and fifty
of these shingles will suffice for the same
space. Glass is likewise II non'conductor

will need no lightning conductors. AL

used in these shingles is non'transparen'

WHAT THE ZERO MARK MEANS
Ninety nine citizens out of 100 had some-
thing to say about Zero" yesterday, but
probably not one In 100 could have told
why point 32o below the freezing point
on Fahrenheils thermometer is called zero
For that matter, nobody knows. The Fab
renheit scale was introduced in 1920, Like
other thermometric scales it has two fixed
points-the freezing point, or rather the
melting point of ice. and the boiling point
of water. The Centigrade and Reamur
call the freezing point zero, and measure
tberefrom in both directions. This is n
very natural arrangement. Fahrenheit
kept the principle on which he graduated
bis thermometers secret, and no one has
ever discovered it. 1t is supposed, how
ever, that he considered bis zero-32'
below the freezing point-lhe point Of
absolute cold or absence Of all heat, either
because, being about the temperature OF
melting salt and snow, it was the greatest
degree of cold he could produce artitioally,
or because it was the lowest natural tenn
perature of which he could find any record
The grounds on which Fahrenheit put
1909 between the freezing and boiling
points Is likewise unknown,-S. Louis
