ment of gold from far-off Madagascar
The gold was mined and smelted and
done up for shipment by natives said
Registrar of Deposits j. Robley Dun

brightest gold ever received at tha
mint. They took a piece of bamboo
about six inches long and two inches
I'm diameter, and polished the outside
till 1t was as smooth as glass. They
then put a wooden cork in one end
and poured in the melted gold and
corked up the other end. In this queer
receptacle the precious metal was safe
ly brought all the way to America.
and finally found it's way into tho

and he lives OF Santa Monica. 1t devel-
oped upon the examination that he has
been heavy drinker, but has been abb
stemious for four or five months past.
He has an idea that he has invented
perpetual motion. By holding up his
hand to windmill he can make the
wheel 20 round. By 80 willing it be can
reverse the motion, and as long as he
wills 30 long he can keep up the motion.
In addition to this he has another Pc

els that he can make chickens lay eggs
whenever he 80 desirea-several in 9
day, if necessary. By holding an egg
up to the sun he can hatch chicken at
once. The source of his peculiar power
lies in the hollow of his hand.
When asked how he discovered his
possession of the peculiar power, he aaid
he was standing on the bluff at Santa
Monica and saw a big white clam rise
from tEe sand, spread itself and sail
away over the ocean. Then he knew
that he was in possession of power illim-
liable. The court committed him to the
asylum at Highlands.
