CONCEALED IN RAFTERS.
Gold and Silver Coin Discovered In a
Jersey Barn.
Paterson (N. j. special


A family by the name of Thompson, liv-
ing on an old farm some six miles from this
city. tells wonderful story about the num-
Der of valuable coins they have found in
their barn during the past few months.
The barn for while seemed TO be sort OF
mysterious mint, but it has finally ceased its
its operations. The story is best told by
one of the Thompson boys, and it is as fol-
lows:
IL was shaving an an ak handle last fail
when heard something drop on the floor
behind me. | looked around and saw a
silver dollar lying on the floor. l picked 1t
pected trick. II was cold. however, and
1t looked as II it had just droDped out OF the
mint, except that it was very much discol-
ored. The date WAS 1921, and yet the coin
did not look as II 1t had ever been in use a
day. Two or three days later my sister
came running in from the barn early in the
morning and held up an old silver half dol
lar, which she said she picked up from the
barn floor. II was dated 1897 and was only
slightly worn and very much tarnished.
She told me where she picked up the coin,
and 1t was near where / found mine.
u spent half the morning looking over
The old barn for money and did not find
cent. but next day. when / went In. / saw
another coin. This time it was agold piece.
and Spanish one at that. dated 1879. 1t
proved to be worth nearly $40 for the gold
in ii, but got S14 for it from an artist in
Paterson. We kept finding coins on the
barn floor right along for several months.
They were all kinds and values.
There was one $40 gold piece in
the the lot and and lot Of ,,, smaller
Of early dates The supply kept up for
eight or nine weeks, and then began TO
peter our. not ali at once, but by fits and
starts, and when it stopped altogether we
felt pretty blue about it. We never kept
any account Of it; l should, on rough
guess. say 1t was over $1,000 We tried hard
enough to find an explanation OF IL at the
time, and the nearest We ever came to it
was rats. We thought that somebody must
have hidden lot Of money among the raft
ers, and the rats In scampsring around
knocked them down through chinks and
open spaces between The beams"

ICELANDIC EMIGRANTS.
The Exodus Beginning to Assume a Scr
Gus Aspect to the Arctic Island.

/ The Exodus Beginning to Assume a Seri-
Gus Aspect to the Arctic Island.
Since the political agitations of Ice
land in 1885, which disturbed and dis
eouraged the population, things have
| been going materially from bad to
] worse. We are occasionally called upon
! to listen to jeremiads about Icelandic
| starvation from those whose sentiment
] for tho Icelanders is more active than
] | e.. 7 information Is exact, and the
! English public has become suspicious
Of cries Of "Wolf"' But the present
| season, with its excellent weather and
good supplies OF food, has not shown
any reaction against the draining away
of the people.
This summer no fewer than 500 per-
sons emigrated to America, bringing
the population below that limit of TO-
900 to which it had already dwindled.
The island now contains, it is believed,
fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870,
before the temporary rise in Icelandic
prosperity. The emigrants are largely
of the farm labOrer class, and there is
a growing complaint that portions of
the country are going out of cultiva-
ton because there is no one TO work on
the land.
Canada is beginning to attract the
Icelanders to its northern provinces,
and during the last six months three or
four Canadian agents have been visit
ing every township in the island,
preaching the attractions of the new
country. The government has even gone
so far as to Introduce bill proposing
to discourage emigration, or in any
case to put a stop to the propaganda of
these Canadian agents, but it is doubt
full whether this measure will pass the
althing, and nothing seems able to
modify the distaste which the Icelander
has formed for his venerable but arid
acres.
n speaker in the althing the other
day remarked that a bill preventing
Icelanders who were doing we'll in the
west from writing to their friends at
home would do thousand times more
service than an attempt to persecute
touting colonial agents. Saturday Re

HE PERSPIRED BLOOD.
Edward Dunn Was One of the Very Few
Suffers From Petechial Hemorrhage.

Edward Dunn Was One of the Very Few
Suffers From Petechial HemOrrhage.
Edward Dunn, 80 years old, employ
ed in a printing establishment at 26
Vandewater street, and apparently per-
fectly healthy, went to the Chambers
Street hospital the other day, blood ex-
uding from the pores of the skin of his
arm and face. He said he must have
lost much blood, but wasn't weakened
by it.
DR.. Taylor was puzzled over the phe-
nOmenon and said he hardly knew how
to treat it. There was evidently no
artery severed, as the blood did not
squirt out violently, as it would have
done in that case. While the doctor
was trying to decide what he could DO
for Dunn, the curious flow stopped of
itself. 1t had lasted about an hour.
Dunn returned to work.
Superintendent Lake of the hospital
told me last evening that Dunn's all
ment was exceedingly rare and that he
might enjoy the distinction of figuring
in medical annals as one of Il few suf-
ferers from what was generally known
as petechial hemOrrhage.
1T is really an emulation of blood
from the pores of the skim" said Mr..
Lake. That is the generally accepted
explanation of the perspiration of blood
of the Saviour. Medical opinion does
not seem to have as yet come to an
agreement as to the cause of the mani
festation. New York Letter.

AT HALF RATE IN A BOX,
Nebraska Mans Solution of the Problem
of Cheap Railroad Travel.

of Cheap Railroad Travel.
The Burlington operates line to
Sheridan, Wy, at which point the
Adams Express company has an Office.
About two weeks ago Liam called upon
Mr.. Smith, depot agent for the Adams
Express company In Omaha, and in
huired the cost of shipping a box,
weighing about $50 pounds, to Sheri-
dan. He was informed that it would
be about so.
A few minutes before train time an
Express wagon brought the box to the
depot. 1t was unloaded, weighed,
properly marked for shipment, and i'm
mediately placed on board the express
car, preparatory to taking a 750 mile
journey.
The box was about feet long and
feet wide and weighed 273 pounds.
The express charges were S12.15 and
were paid by a man whose identity the
express company is now attempting to
establish. The train duly arrived in
Sheridan and the box, among other
goods, was unloaded from the express
car and stored in the depot and the
doors locked.
In about half an hour Agent Wood
was informed that the express Office
door was ajar, and the belief was voiced
that burglars were at work rObbing
the place. The agent at once secured
the assistance of several men, and after
arming themselves they entered the
express Office. Nothing was found dis
turbed except the Omaha box. 1t was
empty. The lid had been forced from
the box, and the contents were gone.
When the box was critically examined,
it was found that no instrument had
been used from the outside to loosen the
cover.
Upon the inside at one end was plain
ly to be seen the print of a mans feet.
The size of the box, the weight and the
footprints were sufficient to convince
the agent it had certainly contained a
human being, and that upon his arrival
at the end of the journey he simply
opened the box, walked over to the door,
unbolted it and disappeared.
There are many theories advanced as
TO the purpose OF the man III lhe DOA.
Some believe that arrangements We're
on foot to rob the express company,
either on the train or at the Sheridan
Office, while others think that the Occu-
pant of the box was an escaping crimi-
nal.
In any event, he beat the railway
company out of half of a fare-fOr the
fare for a human being, alive or dead,
is $50. 5.50.-Omaha World-Herald.

JAPAN'S UNAVOIDABLE FIRE."

Professor HisatomO Is Attempting to Solve
the Interesting Phenomenon.
1t has long been regarded as an mex
plicable mystery that luminous OBJ
ject, known as "shiranu-hi"- literally
meaning unknowable fre''-is Occa-
siOnally seen at night, especially in
cloudy weather, on the sea in Tsukushi
bay. The superstltiOus ascribe this
unusual phenomenon to the spirits Of
those lost at sea. But, according to the
vernacular press, the mystery is to be
solved ere long.
Professor Nakayama HisatOmO of the
Kumanoto higher middle school, who is
now investigating the thing, is of the
opinion that phosphorus may possibly
be the cause Of this luminosity, which
may be emitted from animalculR in the
water. He has secured some water from
the place where the supposed fire makes
its appearance and examined it with
microscope, with the result that he
found a number Of animalculR in it.
1t needs, however, a more complete eX-
animation before finally coming to
determination on the subject, and with
this end in view he is stated to be now
pursuing his researches.
1t may be added that Mr.. Kimotsuki
of the navy, who made an investiga-
tiOn of sea currents some time ago, re-
ported that the kurO-shiwo, or the
black current, which flows from the
neighbOrhood of the Philippine archi-
pelagO to the southern coast of Japan,
is the warmest ocean stream in the
world, and consequently it may contain
minute animal life giving off phos-
phOrescence.-Japan Mail.

England and Wyoming.

A certain Mr.. Horace Plunket made
a speech in the English parliament the
other day which sent the members off
into fits of laughter. The occasion was
the debate on the woman's suffrage
clause in proposed bill. Mr.. Plunket
has lived 10 years in Wyoming, and
therefore spoke as one having author
ity. Mr.. Plunket excited the merriment
of his listeners by referring to "a fe-
male justice of the peace, with whom
he was we'll acquainted. He said she
knew how to use her authority and her
revolver. But the funniest thing was
when Mr.. Plunket told about women
