Important For nIothora.

Cows milk is almost at the bottom
of the list Of the food substances that
contain iron. AS it is so important to
infant life Professor Bunge has been led
to experiment on animals to see in what
proportion iron is present in the system
at different ages. He finds that the
younger animals contain much more
iron than adults. In guinea pig or
rabbit an hour old, for instance, there
is moro than four times rs much iron as
in the game animal az months old.
He infers from this that long con-
tinued exclusive milk diet is not good
for babies, but should be supplemented
by wheat preparations. New York Sun.

An Improved Saw.

People who cut up very valuable tim
Der into merchantable shape have al
ways felt a certain amount of regret at
the great waste as seen in the enormous
piles of sawdust that accumulate. For
this reason it has been economy to use
band-saws, which are extremely thin
and durable. Circular saws have not
heretofore been as available for this
work on account of their much greater
thickness, but, being cheaper and much
more easily managed, they have been
Used, even though the waste of material
Incident thereto has been great. BY
new means, a twelve-gauge fifty-four-
inch circular saw has been operated,
and the inventor says that 1t behaves
In the most approved fashion in all re-
spects, doing the work as we'll as thick
saws and standing the strain in the
most satisfactory manner. This is of
great deal of Importance, as thin cir
cular saw can be operated where a
band-saw Is difficult to handle, and Is
therefore an economy and also much
more convenient.

Every student of monetary science
and every practical man of business
knows that the fundamental vice in our
currency system is the legal tender note,
redeemable in coin by the government
and reissuable under the law. There are
other defects, but this is fundamental
and radical, and threatens the stability
of the whole volume of our currency.
So long as these notes are outstanding
the slightest diminution of the coin re-
serve authorized by law for their re-
demption at once excites feeling OF
apprehension and distrust in the public
mind, affects the values Of all our Sc
curities, curtails investments and more
or less seriously embarrasses all the bust
ness affairs of the people.
How much has been lost to our people
on account of unavoidable fluctuations
in the reserve it is impossible to state,
but all classes have suffered more or less
from the effects of these fluctuations
upon the markets for products, upon
wages and upon the values Of all kinds
of property; and, consequently, the con-
dition of that fund is subject OF con-
slant attention and anxiety throughout
the country. With an almost constant
drain upon it, with frequent and sudden
demands for very largo sums for hoard
ing or for export, and with no certain
means of replenishing it, except by
sales Of bonds, it is absolutely impossi-
BILE to maintain the reserve at any fixed
amount, and, therefore, impossible to
keep the public constantly assured of
financial stability and safety.
In attempting to provide a circulating
medium consisting of its own notes, re-
deemable in coin on presentation, and
reasonable after redemption the govern
ment Of the United States is engaged in
a business for which it is wholly unfit
ted, and which was never for moment
contemplated by its founders.
No change that can be made in our
currency system will afford the relief to
which the government and the people
are entitled unless it provides for the
retirement and cancellation of the legal
tender United States notes.
In my opinion legislation in this di-
rection at the earliest possible day is
imperatively demanded by every sub
stantial interest in the country, and irs
postponement upon any prete1t of polit-
ical eApediency or upon the assumption
in advance that no satisfactory result
can be accomplished would be, to say
the least, very grave mistake.
There is no other single subject upon
which there is SO little real conflict of
interest among our citizens. In fact, it
concerns the material welfare Of all the
people, of the men who work for wages
and expend their earnings for the neces-
saries OF life no less than the men who
live by trade OF, on the profits Of invest
ed capital. Hon. John G. Carlisle,

Express Company Uses TrlcycIes.


When Vice-President Crosby of the
United States Express company was
abroad few weeks ago he noticed in
London that many tradesmen and shop
keepers were delivering parcels and
small bundles by men on bicycles. The
idea then struck him that the pneu-
matic-tired machine might be used to
advantage and with great saving by
the express company. AS soon as he re-
turned to this country he submitted his
scheme to prominent bicycle manu-
featuring concern and the result has
been tricycle. which seems to fill the
bill perfectly. The machine is simple
In construction. There is no chain, as
the front wheel is made the driving
wheel, and is worked with the pedals at
tached directly to it, as was the method
with the discarded high wheels. The
seat is q trifle to the rear of the front
wheel, but not too far back to alter the
pedaling motion from that used in pro-
pelling an ordinary safety. The two
rear wheels are Joined by an axle, to
which runs a stout bar from the fork
of the front wheel. Fitted over the
axle and between the rear wheels is a
square wooden box to hold the pack
ages for delivery. The receptacle for
packages is thirty inches long, twenty
eight wide and twenty-one deep. 1t has
closed top and is opened by doors be-
hind. The doors are supplied with a
strong lock, and the whole box is coated
with waterproof substance. Around
the top of the box Is guard rail for
extra packages that cannot be placed
inside. The wheels have rubber tires
and are about the size Of those of the
ordinary bicycle. The vehicle weighs
a little over sixty pounds and is cap
able of carrying as much as the driver
can comfortably pull after him. At
rough estimate this is placed at 175

Gang of Six Notorious Car Burglars Placed
Behind the Bars
BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-The police Of
the Eighth precinct Monday arrested a
gang of six of the most notorious profess
sional car burglars in the country. They
are George Freeman, known as "Big
jack Dan Carey, Chris Vernon, John
Lynch, John O Neil, and Ed O'Hare. The
men were all heavily armed with A.
calibre pistols and carried an elaborate
general car burglars outfit. Their capt
ure was effected by means of

came from Chicago some time ago and
have made Buffalo their headquarters
since then. They have operated systemat-
ically at robbing freight cars on the New
York Central, West Shore, Erie, Nickel
Plate, Lake Shore and Lehigh Valley
roads. Within o radius of hundred
miles or SO f this city the Central alone
claims to nave suffered to the extent of at
least 600 month from the depreda-
tions of the gang.
Many efforts have been made to track
and capture the robbers but heretofore
unsuccessfully. They were cornered in
the Lehigh Valley yards ut Batavia about
two weeks ago, but they drove off tho
constables by liberal use of their
weapons and escaped. A few days
after they made considerable haul
at Erie, Pa, and as usual were
not detected. West Shore Detectives
Morehead and Mandoll have been work
