WOULD.6E KINGS.

cause of his intention to marry a CIR
of humble birth. Having succeeded il

of Garibaldi, he effected the liberatio.
of that country. He is, however, no
dead, but will come and be the Kin,
of the Swedes! So much for the Swed
ish pretender.
The Danish one has just turned up.
There has arrived in Copenhagen from
Stettin two men, father and son, the
former sixty and the latter twenty-one
years old, with trunk loaded with
papers and documents to prove that
they are the direct descendants of the
house of Oldenburg. and to show that
if at the death of Fredrick VII. they
had possessed these documents they
could have proved their exclusive right
to the throne. They both bear the orig
inal name of the house of Gluckburg,
Beck, and went the day after their ar.
! rival to the master of ceremonies to
seek an audience with the King. They
were directed to seek it through the
German Ambassador, being German
subjects. The Embassy, after some
parley. did not act, and the pretenders
tried themselves to obtain an audience
to suggest that their claims-which
are attested by the highest German
authorities-may be subjected to a
thorough scrutiny. To begin with,
they can claim an inheritance of $780,
900 marks with which to carry on the
case. They then applied to the Stettin
authorities for recommendation to the
German Council of the Legation.
Neither of the two men looks rs an
adventurer. The older is tall and
slender, with an aristocratic bearing
and youthful and winning manners.
His features are in an amazing degree
like those of the late Russian Gar, so
much so that any one who has seen the
Cars picture is struck with the re-
semblance. The older of the two
gentlemen has passed the greater part
Of his time in researches among the
archives and collections in Copenhagen.
Whole nights he studied his family his
| tory, but he ALWAYS was stopped at q
vanished child. After fifteen years OF
labor he has to his full satisfaction
proved that he is grandson's grandson
Of this vanished child. Besides, he has
in his possession armorial and other
precious things to strengthen his claims.
The young Beck bears strong resemb-
lance to Prince Waldemar. and his ac-
luaintance with the affairs of the
House of Oldcnburg is said to be the
most astonishing. Pail Mall Gazette

A GOOD MAN,
william Reese, the Oldest Living Puddler
In the United States.

William Reese, the Oldest Living Puddler
in the United States.
William Reese, of Bolivar, Penn, the
oldest living puddler in the United
States, was born at Glostershire,
England, June 1, 1888. He worked in
Wales for Messrs. Fayer & Joyel, at
Slanelly, and for the Crosha's at
Gafastha. and for Messrs. Bayliss at
Nontsglo. On the Goth of June, 1915.
he walked five miles to witness grand
Illuminating at Abcrgavassy, cele-
brating the victory at Waterloo and
the downfall of Napoleon. In 1918 he
married Elizabeth Joseph. In early
years he and his wife united with the
Baptist church ut Llannennerth, at
which place he often heard Francis
Hiles and Christmas Evans preach.
In 1882 he brought his family to
America, and was employed by Messrs.
Reeves & Whitaker, at PhGniXville,
thirty miles from Philadelphia. In
1888 he succeeded in gathering a
sufficient number of Baptists together
to form church, and thus the first
Baptist church of PhGnixville was
formed, tifty-three years ago. In 1884
he was engaged by Thompson & Savage
to build iron works, and he removed
with his family to the wild mountain
region, fifteen miles from Huntington,
Penn. Here in the mountain gorge on
the banks of Trough creek. he built a
charcoal blast furnace, run-Out fire, two
knobbing fires, one dandy pudding fur
mace, with hammers and rolls for work
ing the iron. He made his own draw
ings and superintended every thing in
the construction and running of the
works. He didn't like to hear the
wolves growing around the house al
night, so he removed his family
to Belfonte in 1885, and was en-.
gagged in introducing the pudding pro.
cess at Valentines Il Thomas works.
In 1887 he removed with his family to
Pittsburgh and was engaged with
Hogg, Benler & Co. and others. He
was a practical iron-worker in all its
branches and taught his boys the
theory and practice of metallurgy. He
had five sons and five daughters. The

At recent meeting of the Academy
Of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, DR..
Leidy read communication from DR..
V. Gonzalez, giving an account of the
scorpions of Durango, Mexico, and the
deadly effects of their sting. They are
found everywhere in the city, and every
effort has been made to eXtcrminate
them, but without effect. A reward of
a cent and a half for males. and double
that amount for females, is paid by the
authorities, and the records indicate
that some years over one hundred thou
sand are captured and destroyed. The
sting, especially in the case of children,
is invariably fatal; the victim, II under
two or three years of age, dying in a
few hours, and sometimes in few
minutes, in strong general commissions.
No antidote for the poison has yet been
discovered, and the assistance of DIR.
Leidy is asked by the writer in his on
deavor to determine some successful
mode of treatment. 1t was suggested
by Messrs. Horn, Heilprir and Leidy
that the Mexican scorpion must differ
from the species found in Florida and
California, as the sting of the latter is
not usually graver than that of wasp.
