sURIED TREASURY FOUND.
An Unknown Amount I'm Gold an SiI
yer Found BY workmen,

TfFFIN, o., June IA day or two
ago, while two workmen on the farm
OF A. Schmucker, better known as the
old Caldwallader farm, three miles
southeast Of the city, were engaged in
demoiishing an old and lOng-abandon-
ed building, they unearthed box con-
tanning a large amount of money in
gold and silver coin, the precise amount
of which Is unknown, owing to the un-
willingness of the lucky finders to di-
vulge the extent oftheir good fortune.
The latest date upon the coins Is 1911,
indicating that the money was planted
nearly eighty years ago. The money
Is largely of French and Spanish coin
age, with few English and American
pieces. The value of the discovery will
probably prove to be greater than the
intrinsic worth of the coins, as they are
being disposed of as curiosities to the
lovers of relics. .---- ---"5-

Sleeping with Baby.

The free from care and ease taking
old bachelor who, In his momentary
lapse Of wisdom, contemplates matri-
mony should at the same time reflect
on the remote but contingent possibili-
ty Of his having to sometime sleep with
q baby should be marry. Years Of ex-
perience of martyrdom Of this kind
make me feel 1t TO be my duty to set
forth the misery arising from contin-
gency of this kind.
The baby, II he happens to be q lusty
little fellow of eight or ten months, will
decline to stay covered and will also de-
cline to allow you to keep yourself COW
cred. He indicates his wishes in this
direction by keeping his little pink
heels going all night, q good part ofthe
time on your back. He will also insist
a-cornered," }" "bias" or in any other po-
sition but that which will give you
few inches of room In the bed and few
minutes sleep. His infantile needs will
begin to manifest themselves at about
l o'clock In the morning at which
witching hour you will go blundering
around In the dark for drink of water.
He will howl steadily aud cheerfully
from until 8 O'Clock, and will kick you
furiously between the shoulder blades
with every howl. 1t will not be of any
use for you to pat him tenderly and COO
out "there, there" He is right there
and knows 1t and intends that you shall
know 1t. -l
It IL of no use to say coaxingly, what
does papa's baby want?'
Papa's baby doesn't want anything
but to howl, and he is gratifying that
amiable desire to the utmost. 1t Is of
no use to add to yonr Judgment Day
list of enormities by swearing. And II
your wife has been calmly passive
through it all, she will develop an
amazing degree of spirit If you dare lay
the weight of your finger in anger on
that "pOor, dear little Innocent darling
sweetness"
He will squirm all night as though
he were first cousin to an angle worm.
He will journey around all over the bed
both under and on top Of the cover
ings. You are no sooner asleep than
one of his moist little heels is planted
firmly on your nose or in your mouth,
and later on, with childhoods scorn oi
decency and decorum, he will sit astride
your neck and grow green and purple
with rage when gently made to sit
elsewhere. Should he fall out Of bed
and yell loud enough to be heard all
over your ward, your wife will say she
firmly believes that you pushed hin
out, and that you are not fit to be {
father anyhow. An animated dialogue
OF a purely personal and private nature
will follow this remark. t7Ht H

IMITATION ICE.
A Method by Which this Seasons
High Prices May be Avoided.

The N. Y. Evening Graphic gives
the following interesting article on the
manufacture of artificial Ice which will
be of interest to many as the heated
term comes nearer and nearer.
In the South and Southwest the once
large and profitable business from ice
shipped from New England is now en-
tirely superseded by the artificial pro-
duct, there manufactured. The natur-
al Ice from the North Is not only driven
from the South, but also from the
West Indies, and the East India trade
In natural ice Is rapidly diminishing.
On account Of the comparative ease
featured and its superiority, this indus
try has spread 30 rapidly that now near
ly every Southern city has one or more
'ice factories"
The principle made use of is a sim
pie one, the same which we sdopt In
making ice cream. When solids are
changed to liquids. for instance when
ice melts, large amount of heat Is alb
sorbed. This may be shown by plac-
ing quart tin of ice and quart tin of
icewater side by side opposite fire, or
on stove. BY the time the ice Is al
most entirely melted when its temper
ature will be found to be near the freez-
ing point, thirty-two degrees F. the
temperature of the water In the second
tin will be many degrees warmer. The
heat absorbed by the ice in melting
and contained in the water is called
laten heat. The.principle goes farther
4 When liquid Is volatilized, still largel
n quantities of heat are demanded. Dir
the hand into water Of either, and theI
i blow across the moistened surface and
this principle Is observed, the heat u
abe0rbed from the warm hand and the
sensation of cold ia produced.
In the artic machines about fifty
Il pounds ofammonia, iiquidified by pres
sure, are stored in q strong steel cylin
, der, and this Is connected with a col

The liquid ammoniais then allowed t.

, the water in the can speedily solidifie:

and used over again. In fact, the pro
cess is q continuous one, and If th
pumps and coils do not leak there is n
loss; the operations may go on as lon
E as the machinery lasts.

A Lost Art Rediscoyered.

Considerable progress seems to have
been made Of late in the manufacture
of tough glass, most of the difficulties
with the new discovery having been
overcome. Recent Developments al
Pompeii have caused many TO think il
not q new discovery at all. but a reds.
covery of an old art. Be this as il may,
the process Of manufacture has been
made very simple, so much SO as 10
make it possible TO combine the opera.
ton with ordinary glass blowing. The
new process admits of more perfect
execution, and gives more regular
forms besides diminishing expenses in
a marked degree. Objects made of the
liquid material in the usual way are,
while at red heat, thrown directly into
the tempering bath. Bottles, drinking
glasses, lamp chimneys and other
concave products OF the art containing
air are received on a curved tube, q
kind Of siphon, which at the momen,
of immersion allows the air 10 escape,
the liquid entering the cavity. The
air escape is believed to be the whole
secret Of the process; the inventor says
otherwise. st. Louis Republic.

The ticket agent gives you a surly
look, and then proceeds TO transact the

he gives you a ticket, then a pile Of
money consisting Of nine dimes and a
nickel, and then sixteen quarters all
huddled together. This confuses you,
and you are not sure whether you now
have $L95 or 1876. Then after a
short pause the agent sticks the ends
of four bills out Of the hole, and leans
back as though he had finished his
business with you. You take this as a
hint 10 60, and you go accordingly.
When you get on the platform you
count your change aud discover, of
course, that you are 81 short. You 90
