Description of How Geographical
Spheres Are Constructed.
The first process rs to cover the model
with thick layer of pastcboard In
moist state When 1t is dry sharp
knife is passed around it so as TO separ-
ate the pasteboard coat into two hemi-
spherical shells, which arc then taken
off the model and united at the cut
edges with glue The hollow sphere
thus formed is the skeleton of the globe
that Is to be.
Tho next thing is to cover it with O
coating Of white enamel about one
eighth of an inch in thickness When
this is done the ball is turned into per
feet roundness with q machine. The
iron rod running through the center Of
the original model and projecting at
both ends through the surface has left
holes in tho new globe which servo for
the north and south poles, and through
these q metal axis is run to represent
the axis Of the earth.
Then the surface is marked OFF with
pencil lines into mathematical seq
mcnts. corresponding precisely IN shape
with the sections of map that arc to be
pasted on, continues the Boston Tran
script. These map sections are madc
from copper plates In Just the sizes and
shapes required to ft tho globe they
are made for, one set, of course, cover
ing the entire surface of u sphere They
are printed, many Of them. like dress
patterns, on sheets of the finest linen
paper, and arc cut out carefully with a
sharp-pointed knife.
When they have been pasted on tho
different countries arc tinted by hand
with water colors. There is no special
rule for this, except that contrasts are
sought to help the eye Finally the
whole is overlaid with brilliant
white varnish, which is of almost me
tallic hardness, and it will wear indef-
nitely without scratching and without
losing its brightness.

nIonkoys as Coin-Fesoers.

1t Is said that the great apo Of Siam
Is In great request among tho Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their counting
houses Vast quantities of base coins
are known to be In circulation in Siam,
and, according to advices from that
scorched-up little oriental Kingdom, no
living human can discriminate between
the good and bad coinage with as much
accuracy as these apes These monkey
cashiers possess the faculty of distin-
gushing the rude Siamesc counterfeits
In such an extraordinary degree that
no traincd banker can compete with
them in their unique avocation. In
plying his trade the ape cashier medita-
lively puts each coin presented to him
In his mouth and tests It with grave de-
liberation. From two to five seconds is
ell the time this intelligent animal re-
quires in making up his decision. If
tho coin is all right it is carefully de-
posted In the proper receptacle; If base
it Is thrown violently to the floor, while
the coin tester makes known his dis
pleasure at being presented with the
counterfeit by giving vent to much
angry chnttering.

Has tho Making OF martinez.

The ten-year-old crown prince of Ger
many appears TO be in fair way of be-
coming an insufferable little prig. A
few days ago, when returning with his
brothers from drive, the pnlacc guard,
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the imperial children AS the carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced to run rs fast as they could
to assume their places in tho ranks, and
ono unfortunate fellow, In his haste,
forgot his gun. This was Immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who, as
soon as ever the carriage had stopped,
instead Of entering the palace, hurried
off with his brothers to the officer in
command of the guard for the purpose
OF lodging a complaint against the
colder who had appeared without his
rifle The result was that the soldier
was sentenced to four days arrest and
to further term of fatigue duty for his
reniseness, while the Berlin papers are
filled with laudatory notices Of the mill
tary feeling and precision OF the future
emperor of Germany.

there the early part OF next year. Tho
sculptor will accompany the statue, to
superintend the work of erecting 1t.
The statue Will be ready for unwilling
ON Oct IL next year. Where it is to
stand hos not yet been determined.
An effort Is being made to secure the
triangle at the Fifth avenue end Fifty
ninth street entrance of Central Park.
Tho plot Is used for nothing now, and
such a statue as this would be GIN orna-
ment to It.
Tho total cost of the statue and
pedestal will probably be about
S35,000. If tho sculptor received paw
for his work 1t would be 500, 900
more lie is doing the work free. The
money needed TO complete the statue
and PIT it in place will be contributed
by American Italians. A committee of
1000 Italian citizens of New York have
volunteered TO raise $40 each, and more
than 900 have already given the money.
This Is in addition to the $1,000 pre-
viously raised Subscriptions have
come in from all over the United States.
and Dir. Barsott said recently that he
Ind received subscription of S37 from
an American Italian in Venezuela. The
monument Will be given to the city.

"wHO BREAKS PAYS"
How an Artist Was Led Into Trap BY
His Pupils


His Pupils.
In Paris there lives an eminent paint
err who is economical and sententious,
says an exchange. The other day one
of the students broke pane Of glass in
the studio window and replaced it tenn
porarily by FASTING q sheet of paper
over the aperture.
When the painter came down next
morning he thrust his cane through the
makeshift with the remark: "IIe that
breaks pays" Mono Of the class, how
ever, took the hint, and the next morn
ing another sheet of paper wus pasted
across the window. 1t met the Same
fate. And so on the next day. and so
on the fourth.
On the fifth day, when tho artist
came down, there was the paper as be-
fore. Fire flashed from his eyes, and
roaring: Tie that breaks, pays!" he
drove his cane through the papcr-and
through the pane Of glass behind it that
had been put in by the students, and
then carefully pasted over with sheet
Of paper.

TEAM RECOVERED
The Thief Arrested in Con-
necticut.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL. LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.


e. e. Walters, hired team from j.
b. Powell OF the 10th of July, ostensi-
bly, to drive his wife and family about
8 the city, but the team mover returned
neither did any of the Walters
Mr.. Powell instituted search and
traced Walters through buchanan, Lex
ington, Staunton and Harrisonburg to
{ uagerstown, Md, where he found Mrs.
Walters and her children. He attached
her baggage and when asked for what
sum he would release it, Powell said
500. Mrs. Walters tclegraphed to
Walters for the amount to New Haven,
Conn, and his whereabouts being then
ascertained he was arrested by the
chief of police at New Haven, where he
is now held.
Walters lived in Roanoke until a few
months ago. He was first in the light
ming rod business and drove last winter
for the Magic City Transfer Company.
He sold Mr.. Powell three weeks ago the
same team he made off with to Mary
land.
1t turns out that Mrs. Walters is not
Mrs. Walters. She is Mrs. Kale, it is
authoritatively stated. Her husband,
Mr.. Kale, kept butchers stall in
Petersburg about seven years ago, and
about three years ago he died Mrs.
Kale then clerked at the racket store of
Mcclure on Church street, Norfolk,
until year and half ago, when she
moved to Roanoke and established u
boarding house near the city cemetery.
Walters went to board with her and
passed off as her cousin.
Two weeks ago they went to Radford
and opened another boarding house
there, but skipped to Salem when a war
rant was issued at Radfor6 charging
them with keeping house of i'll fame
and selling liquor without license. AT
Salem they went to board at Mrs.
Marks, who, finding out their charac-
ter, promptly dismissed them on the
day they left with Mr.. Powell's team.
Mrs. Kale has son named Arthur, II
years old, and daughter, Blanche, 16
years of age.
Mr.. Powells team had been left at
Captain Bamfords livery stable In
Hagerstown, where he recovered it
Monday, after paying the officers of that
city the S25 reward he offered.
Commonwealth Attorney w. W. Bal
lard will turn the case of Walters over
to the special grand jury to be sum-
moned Friday to consider the Watkins
murder case, and if Walters is indicted
will send an officer for him armed with
a requisition from the Governor of Vir-
gini upon the Governor of Connec lieut.

Please express to Mrs. Penrose and little

All day the coroner's jury. the police and
others directly interested lave been work
ing for the solution of the tragedy, but at
this time the crime is as much mystery as
the moment the deed was committed. None
OF those who were supposed to have been
mortal enemies of Penrose have left the
city SO far as known. All are walking
about the streets and discuss the matter MS
seriously and as Indignantly as any one.
The bullet which caused the the death of
Mr.. Penrose is of thirty-eight calibre. 1t
was found to have passed through the head
OF the victim and against the skull oppo-
site the point Of entrance, causing q frac-
ture there.
Belle Browning was interviewed by re-
porter to-day and found to be sobbing. Her
face was pale and haggard. She said:
"Penrose was at my house an hour, from
Blk to seven o'clock. He sent me note
during the afternoon asking me to call at
his office. [ answered by messenger that |
was alone and asked him to come down to
my place. He came and explained that he
wanted to see me and have me write let
ter of apology to his wife for the letter |
had sent her. | promised to do so, and
we had a general talk and parted
as good friends again. That is we
made up. When about to leave he said he
would go home and go to bed. begged of
him to sober up and stop drinking. He
said he would not gee me again for about a
week. After he left remained up until
about II o'clock and then went to bed.''
"Now, Bslle,'' said Mr.. Haldoyn plead
inely. I'VE want you to 70 on the witness
stand and DO what you can towards giving
US clue to the man who did this. If you
do You will not be a defendant and will be
released"
She again burst out into tears and SOL
emnly swore that she knew nothing of the
case.
II would give may right arm to help find
the murderers.''
Among other things the woman said tn at
Penrose told her he expected to be waylaid
some night. It troubled him somewhat
and she frequently heard him express the
fear which was finally carried out by one of
foulest murders in the annals of crime.
Penrose knew this woman in Eureka, Ne
vada, so their acquaintance dates back
six years.
