FLINT JACK.
A Scamp Who Made His Living Making
Ancient Urns and Arrov-Heads.

Scamp Who haQe Ills LIVING MAKING
Ancient Urns and Arrov-Heads.
DR.. Charles Rau, of Washington,
thus describes a notorious forger of
antiquities: Flint Jack was born in
1915 near Whitby, in Yorkshire, En-
gland. His real name appears to have
been Edward Simpson, though he went
at one time under the name of Cockney
Bill. and is known to fame chiefly
through his exploits under the sobriquet
of FLINT Jack" Some of his early
years he spent as servant or assistant
to gentleman engaged In geological
pursuits, and he appears to have been
known ut that time as Fossil Willy"
While engaged in this service he learned
the value placed by collectors upon
relics of ancient people. In 1913 he
saw 4 British flint arrowhead, and a
successful attempt TO copy it seems TO
have been the turning-pOint to his
career. From that time forth he never
looked for antiquities. To search for
them involved ariu0us labor, often
fruitless: to manufacture them he found
to be easy and certain. SO he turned
out arrow-headS. arms. beads. seals and
antiques of any kind which he
could reasonably expect to palm
off as genuine. He rose above arrow
heads and INDUCED in ancient pottery.
riOus antique urn to collector. BY
some mistake the urn was shattered and
the fragments were given back to Jack
to take away and mend. In due time
he brought back the urn made whole
again. The purchaser &fterward found
that portion of the broken urn had
not been given to jack. He was
amazed to discover that notwithStand-
ing this Jack had completely restored
the urn. Once, it is related, he got 4
large sum for an ancient breast-plate
which he had fashioned from an old
tea tray which he had picked up in his
travels. Another exploit was the pro-
duction of Roman milestone 4 time
when such relic was sure to command
a good price. Then he produced 4
stone from the bottom of some stream
having an odd and antiquc-looking in
Scription. He used to bury his anti
quarieS and bring them to the surface
as occasion arose. Jack, when square
" cOrnered, would admit that the arti
Gle he offered for sale was only a ''dOO-
plicate,' and then talk his customer
into buying it as copy Of an antique.
Latterly he fairly admitted his frauds
and seemed quite proud of his skill.
He was publicly introduced at Il meet
ing of biologists in London in 1862,
and gave an exhibition of his skill in
initiating flint objects. - Washington

MEXICAN FOOT-GEAR.
The ShOeIess and StockingIess Citizens of
Our Sister Republic.

The ShOeIess and StockingIess Citizens of
Our Sister Republic.
The 100000 inhabitants of Mexico
use almost entirely homemade boots.
shoes, CATERS, slippers and sandals so
far as they wear any fOot-cOvering at all.
Shoes in Mexico are European in
PRODUCTION and 10 not properly belong
to the national costume. A large pro-
portion of the population probably a
majority do not wear shoes at all.
The sandal, which is a sole of leather.
raw-hide or woven maguey fiber,
strapped to the bottom of the foot with
strings of the same material, is the only
foOt-covering used by this class of peO-
pie, and as every man is his own shoe
maker, and the climate requires no
protection for instep or ankle, the ma
tional sandal is doubles the most eco
nOmical, comfortable and healthy shoe
inc that can be worn in this country.
In proof of this the infantry rcgi-
mcnts of the Mexican army, armed and
equipped otherwise without regard to
expense, still wear the leather sandal
in preference to shoes. not solely for
the sake of economy, but because it is
considered generally healthier, keeps
the feet in better condition, is more
easily repaired or rep-,,ced, and makes
easier marching.
The shoe-wearing population of the
republic is chiefly of European origin
or descent and such of the Indian pop
uiation rs by education and association
have learned to prefer European fash
ions and modes of living. This class
has inherited from their Indian Us well
as their Spanish ancestors remarkably
small, well-modcled feet and hands,
upon which they pride themselves con-
siderably; consequently a handsome
and elegantly-shaped shoe is more es-
tcemed in Mexico than a sound and
substantial one, and commands 4
reader sale. Hence, the cheaper shoes
made in the country, if not so strong
and durable. are more carefully mod
rled and several sizes smaller than the
average trade shoe made in the United
States. Boston Commercial Bulletin.

OLD RAILROADS.
the First American Railway Built in the
Year 1909.

the First American Railway Built in the
Year 1909.
In paper read before the Franklin
institute, bearing the title, Trans
pOrtation Facilities of the Past and
Present." Mr. Barnet lie Van cOrrectS
the commonly received statement that
the Granite railroad. built at Quincy,
Mass, in 1927, by Gridley Bryant, for
transporting stone for the Bunker Hill
Monument from the granite quarries of
Quincy, was the first railroad built in
the United States. On this point he
presents interesting testimony to prove
that far from being the first, the Granite
railroad was really only the fourth in
order of precedence in the United States.
From the paper we quote the following:
Railroads were also first introduced
in Pennsylvania. In September, 1909,
the first experimental track in the
United States was laid out b. John
Thompson (thc father of John Edgar
Thompson. who was afterward the
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, civil engineer. of Delaware
County, Pa, and constructed under his
direction BY Somerville, a Scotch mill
wright. for Thomas Leipar. of Phila-
delphia. 1t was $50 feet in length and
graded II inches 70 the yard. The gauge
was four feet and the sleepers eight
feet apart. The experiment with load
ed car was so successful that Leiper. in
the same year. caused the tirst practical
railroad in the United States TO be con-
structed for the transportation of stone
from his quarries on Crum creek to his
landings on Ridley creek, in Delaware
County. Pa, distance of ABOUT one
mile. 1t continued in use for aineteen
years. Some of the original fOunda-
tons, consisting of rock in which holes
were drilled and afterward plugged
with wood to receive the spikes for
holding the sleepers in place. may be
seen 20 this day.''-Nidland Industrial

Of the 900 majority the democrats had in
1894, and the gain of several republican con-
gres,men, 10 not the least and 10 one of the
most significant. While the thick and thin
administration organs, like the New York
Times, are trying to make it appear that
democratic losses are due to the lack of
hearty support accorded to the President by
his party, Indiana politicians unanimously
ascribe the result in that State to the dissatis-
faction of his party with the President and to
his lack of support of the rarty. 1t was not
free trade that lost the State to the democrats,
for all the democratic congressman elected
are free traders. 1t is chargeable to nothing
but the disgust of Indiana democrats with the
President and his policy.
This sentiment is voiced BY the principal
democratic organ in the State, the Indisnap.

We have no hesitancy in laying at Mr.
Cleveland's door responsibility for the mis-.
fortune which has overtaken the party in the
loss of Congressman it sustained last Tues
day. We may look upon the result as
| rebuke. The un-American policy he has
pursued in dealing with the party and the
par'isans that elected him to office is the
direct cause of the apathy of the party in 90
many sections of the country. He has done
all he conld to destroy the party organiza

of Young men and grievously abused the ole
leaders, and in doing these things he has
incurred moi only their dissatisfaction, bu
the contempt of all manly republicans.

tenements for the factory operatives. il
has made fine progress. But the company
has still other great work to do. 1t en-
ploys but small fraction OF the splendid
water power which it owns and controls.
If it would make the most of its val
liable property it must go forward
and build other factories. The water
now largely runs to waste. If improved
to its full capacity it will be far
better than money in stocks and bonds.
The company understand this and will 60
ahead with their enterprise Just as fast as
they are able to do so. There is no doubt
that business sagacity. enterprise, solid
wealth are now concerned in improving
the magnificent water power in this city,
and will push things with courage and
vigor.

those of few cities in New England. The
