They Cooked the Rain.

"Perhaps one of the most peculiarly
prepared luncheons ever laid before
hungry people was one which We had
not long ago, when we were showed
up in the theatre Of small Western
town." said theatrical man. 'Upon
this night, with the brief interval Of
ter the people left the theatre, while
wo were dressing to go to our hotel, a
terrific snowstorm---such as you can
find only in the West---came up. The
snow drifted against our doors aud all
about the streets, so that we had to
remain all night in the theatre. OF
course we got hungry, as actors will
sometimes do, and We began to search
for something eatable.
"We prowled around tho property
room, and we were about to give up in
disgust when one OF the company
struck box of beans, which wero
used to initiate the sound OF rain. BY
shaking the box stage rain-storm

call it, but saw no way OF cooking it.

Pittsburg Dispatch. The thunder
was sheet of tin or iron, which was
shaken to make the roar of heavens

that it would hold the beans, but were
at loss for means for producing heat.
Our property man suggested that We
use lightning a powder of
locopodium, used for making flashes
upon the stage, for the fire. We
found quite a lot OF this, and with the
addition of some 'snow'---little bits OF
paper used to represent the beautiful

The Goldbeaters, Work.

''I was in the workshop of gold
beater in New York recently for the
first time in my life," said l.. 8. Tom
linson, OF Chicago, at the Linden.
"Probably less is known of that in
teresting trade than any other extant.
One reason is that there are so few
engaged in it by comparison with
other industries. ! was greatly inter-
ested in the process. The gold is
melted and run into small ingot,
making an oblong plate of absolutely
pure gold. This is rolled in a hard
rolling mill until it is strung out into
several yards of gold ribbon, about as
thick as parchment. This is cut up
into pieces about an inch square, sew
eral hundred are placed beneath
leaves OF goldbeaters' skin, the whole
inclosed in parchment cover. Then
it is beaten for several hours. The
leaves OF gold spread under the beat
ing, and they are each cut into four
pieces. The beating process is con-
tinued, the pieces are again divided,
and the process repeated until the
gold is so thin that the slightest breath
will blow it away.
81 am told that this is one trade in
which modern invention has made no
improvement. Attempts to beat gold
by machinery have utterly failed, be-
cause the stroke must not be uniform,
but regulated by the striker, accord
ing to condition. A false stroke of
the hammer is sufficient to undo the
work done at any stage, and neces-
state fresh start, beginning with the
melting pot. Only one substance has
ever been discovered which will serve
to beat gold in. 1t is obtained from
the intestines of cattle and subjected
to secret process. I am told that
gold is beaten now as it was when
Solomon's temple was decorated with
gold leaf. Sometimes a crucible of
gold breaks or is upset in the furnace.
The cinders and ashes are carefully
gathered, beaten fine in mortar and
then washed by hand. Practically all
the gold will be recovered in this way.

dust, settle all over the shop. The

Another dress, and one that has

with knot has ends that fall below the
belt; another new caprice in neck

costumes are devised for this purpose.

Dia,aord Polishes Diamond.

The art of cutting and polishing
diamonds is very old one in the
East, and the early jewellers of India
and China knew how to dress dia-
monds by means of diamond dust long
before Europeans did. 1t was O Bel
gian lapidary, one Berguin, OF
Bruges, who accidentally discovered,
in 1456, how one diamond can be en-
ployed to polish another. 1t was he
who constructed the first polishing

mond powder, he could dress dia-
monds as well as other stones could be

The charges made by Foreman Will

vestigation by sut.-Commander
Adolph Mark, have stirred up a new
line OF inquiry, which, 1t was said to-
day, nay lead to the discharge of sew
eral persons who have been systemat-
ically robbing the Government.
When the hearing of the charges by
Mitchell is resumed at the navy-yard
tomorrow other charges not embodied
in the communication sent to Assistant
Secretary McAdoo will be taken up.
Lawyer Luke d. Stapleton, Mitchelrs s
counsel. told an Evening World" re-
porter to-day that every charge Of cor
ruption which he proposed to bring out
tomorrow would be based upon alb
stracts from the books of the officials
against whom the charges are made.
At present the charges are made
against Civil Engineer p. C. Asserman
through his quarterman, A. w. Lane,
who succeeded Mitchell when the latter
was reduced to foreman some time ago.
Foreman Mitchell. in his charges, de-
scrbes the rebuilding of the boundary
wall at the Navy-Yard as the most fla
grant case of fraud against the Govern
ment
The cost, he says, fer bricklaying was
$3.50 per thousand, which should have
only cost s4.25 showing that somebody
has cheated the United States out Of a
large sum Of money.
Several masons and a hod-carrier are
now at work on the wall under Quarter
man Haskins. who, Mitchell charges
knows nothing about such work.
Other charges are that the construction
of eighteen biigeways cost 5000, wher
| the work should have only cost $500, and
| the building of two fats for the ferry.
| boat for 800, which Mitchell says coulC
| have been constructed for $275.
