AN HONEST INVENTOR.
Ills Discovery Was Likely to stimulate
TrAad. and He Destroyed IL.


DIR. ]. p. Barnum, the well.known
chemist OF Louisville, is in the city on
n business trip DR. Barnum is the
mau who invented the celebrated ink
eraser which caused so much talk
several years ago In an Interview
he gave the following interestin &
facts:
when / first got my ink eraser
complete thought nv fortune
was made hut / soon discovered that
IL was 90 conducive TO crime that /
suppressed its sale and have always
kept the secret to myself ! suppose
IL will die with me This eraser could
positively remove all traces OF ink
from any kind of paper. remem Der
one man who wrote u letter to the
Courier-J ournal. telling them that he
did not believe the account which they
had published OF the eraser. Some of
the men in the Courier-Journal Office
took some OF my er1sing fluid and
wiped all the ink out of his letter, eN-
cepting the signature a check for
sioO was then written above the sigma
turc. and they vent TO the bank and
got The money. In a short time after
ils Introduction several Grim in
Louisville. as we'll as elsewhere, had
been committed by the aid OF the
eraser, and when well-fnown young
man in Louisville p rpetrated fraud
upon his finn by its use and went TO
California, | thep determined never to
allow any more of the huid to be man
ufactured.
II have. however, since done some
work wi, h it myself. At one time q
nurnb Der of securities of the Falls City
bank OF Louisville had been stolen,
and the holders of bonds in the com
munity got in the habit of writing
their names across the face of their
bonds, and also n statement that the
bonds were not good unless indorsed.
But vixen they wanted TO dispose of
these bonds they found that nobody
would buy them with the writing
across the face. They came to me
with a rush and wanted me to remove
the writing. / had at one time sl01,-
600 worth of these bonds, with the
agreement that If any traces
of ink or the fluid were left l
was to buy each bond SO de-
faced at its face value, but l didn
have to buy any of them. The act of
forgery itself is very easy to accom-
plish, but the perpetrator nearly al
ways gets caught in the end. This So
called safety paper which is now be-
ING extensively manufactured is no
protection. The ink lines on this
snfety paper, which fade away as soon
as they are touched by any chemical.

straw Hat. for Horses.

During the great heat which OPP
pressed the southern parts OF France
in the summer of last year, humane
aud inventive horse owner in Bordeaux
provided all his horses with straw
hats At first everybody jeered at
horses hats, as they did at Jonas Han
ways umbrella But the innovation
soon justified itself asso practical that
every body wondered that he had not
thought of 1t before, and it became to
regarded as SO Indispensable that be
fore the summer ended nearly every
horse in cabs, coaches. omnibuses,
wagons and carts in town and
country, had some kind of hat
on his. head. The new straw hat
which is now becoming great article
OF trade in the nth OF France, covers
the eyes and forehead of the horse,
while openings are left for the ears.
A sponge is kept in the inside of the
hat. and this Is moistened from time
to time with vinegar, SO as to keep the
horse head refreshingly cool.

Under the confederation on Oct l6,

tabiishing mint, and on July 9,
i'ef, the hrst cents were coined, 200
tons In copper being ordered of John
JARVIS, the contractor. This coin was
called the Fugio cent because of the
INSCRIPTION on it. The diverse bore a
sun dial with the sun at meridian, on

varieties Of the Fugio coin, most of
the differences being of minor i'm

Fugio CONS were made the govern

in the Pratt collection in New York
in October, 1879, and was classified as

numismatist, who prepared the cata-
logue.
Proofs OF the Fugio cent were also
made in silver. The gold proof is of

NATURAL ICE-HOUSE IN MON

An Extensive Cave Similar TO None Here
tofore Known.

tofore Known.
About fifteen miles north OF Lewiston, Mon
tana, and two miles from the Gilt Edge mine,
there has been discovered cave similar to
none known In the United States. The dis
coyery was made by Charles Kelly, pros
pector. About week later party OF six,
equipped with miners lamps, axes, picks,
ropes and overcoats, visited the curious cave
for the purpose of exploration. The party
reached the entrance Of the cave about 10
o'clock in the morning and Immediately be-
gan their investigation.
The mouth Is irregular crevlce In the
sloplng ledge. For a distance of about 100
feet the bottom Is almost level, and the ere
vice widens gradually to depth Of nearly so
feet. Then there is an incline OF about twen-
ty degrees for distance of fifty yards. Here,
instead of s rocky floor solid body of Ice
was found. Fifteen minutes of hard work
with the axes and picks showed that the ice
was solid to depth of more than two feet.
The party continued their journey for
about three-quarters of a mile from the en-
trance TIL the winding avenues and rooms
m sde II hazardous to proceed farther, the
danger OF losing their way back to daylight
being imminent owing to the fact that COM
pass carried by one of the party had become
useless on account of being affected by vast
deposits OF iron iu the walls of the cave.
Much difficulty would have been experienced
in returning only for the forethought of a
member Of the party who marked the route
taken by strokes OF IN axe.
The width of the cave varies at different
points from 25 TO 800 or 100 feet, and the roof
at some points reaches within four feet of the
ice and in many places so high that It could
not be seen by the light given out by the
lamps carried by the explorers. At no point
In the cave was any water found, only an oc-
caslona dripping from the roof In places
draughts OF air were encountered that almost
ertingulshed the lamps carried. William Ar
