CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-A remarkable ex-
ample of the loss of gold by abrasion
has come to the notice of the
customs officials. George w. Shell
don & Co. sent $500 in gold to
the collector to pay duties. The
amount was in equal amounts, made up
of $5, $40 and $40 pieces. The teller
found that the coin footed up all right
taken at it's face value and it was sent
over to the sub-treasury. Word came
back TO the collector that the $4,000
in gold was S1,935 short weight
and that the deficit would
have to be made up before a
receipt would be issued. Examination
proved that the coin had been abraded
to that extent-nearly l3 per cent.
Sheldon & Co. at once notified the pay
ing bank and gold certificate for the

OVER THE LIFE LINE.

Thrilling Escape of Women and Children
at New Orleans Rescued In Rope
Cradle - The Grunewald Opera House
Destroyed-Loss, 100000.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Grune-
wald opera house was destroyed by fire
at an early hour, involving loss of
$500. 900. Only by thorough work of the
fire department was terrible conhagra-
tion averted, for within few yards of
the burning building are situated the
magnificent Chess, Checker and Whist
club, the superb Jesuit church and col
lege, the Tulane university building
and other fine structures. The
opera house wason Baronne street near
Canal. The building was entirely de-
stroyed. 1t cost between Sl75,O00 and
5000, 600 and was insured for between
$50, 900 and $4,000 in local and north
ern companies. The opera house had
recently been repaired at a cost of $685.
O00
The families upstairs had a narrow
escape. AS soon as the inmates heard
the alarm they rushed out on the balco-
MES of the fourth floor in their night
dresses. The building was then wrapped
in flames. Ladders were run up
against the burning building, and three
tiremen made their way inside. A
small alley separated the opera house
from the Chess. Checker and Whist
building, and between the roofs of the
two buildings a rope cradle was inn
provised. A gallant fireman went
hand over hand across the gulf. He
| fastened the rope to the waists
of the women and children,
one at time, and they were
drawn over to the roof and balconies
of the club house. 1t was a thrilling
sight as the women and children hung
beneath the rope surrounded by
tongues of flame. When the rescued
people had reached safety it was discov'
cred that Mrs. Metz and her infant boy
had been badly burned about the legs.

A Rats Teeth.

The rat is remarkably well equipped
for the peculiar life he is ordained to
lead. He has strong weapons in the
shape of four long and very sharp
teeth-two in the upper jaw and two
IN the lower. These teeth are wedge
shaped, and by a wonderful provision
of nature have always fine, sharp cut
ting edge. On examining them care
fully the inner part is found to be Of q
soft ivorylike composition which can
easily be worn away, and the outside is
composed of glasslike enamel, which
is exceedingly hard.
The upper teeth work into the un-
der so that the centers of the opposed
teeth meet perfectly in the act Of
gnawing; hence the soft part is being
continually worn away, while the hard
part keeps hard, chisel-ike edge all
the time, and at the same time the
teeth are constantly growing up from
che bottom, so that as they wear away q
fresh supply is ready. Should one Of
these teeth be removed by accident or
otherwise, the opposite tooth will con.
tinue to grow; and there being nothing
to wear it away it will project from the
mouth and be turned upon itself, and
if it be and undertooth it will often
grow 80 long as to penetrate the skull
