GOLD FOUND In BASE METAL
George johnson, an Iowa Farmer,
Makes an Important Discovery.
He Has Termed His Process "Y"
Rays and Investigations So
---,-~- Far Are satisfactory.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April 23.-When 1t
was announced a few lays ago that George
Lawrence johnson, "a farmer, living near
Fairfield, had discovered a process allied
to the Y rays, and which he termed Y"
rays by means of which base metal could
he transmitted into gold at small cost. peo-
pie treated the, matter as Joke, but IN
vestigation puts a different light on the
matter.
1t is found that Jobnson is a graduate of
Columbia College, New York, well pro-
yided financially, and possessing COM
plete chemical and physical laboratory at
his country home. He simply claims that an
ordinary base metal. Which lhas been con-
sidered a chemical element is a compound
of which gold is the principal part,
After the publication of Prof. Rocntgen's
discoveries, johnson, in company with Mr..
Minear. concluded to experiment on the
comparative transparency of several metals
to the X-rays. By accident Il block OF one
Of the most common metals was placed
in the box in a certain relation to the
anode pole of the Crookes tube.
After two hours Mr.. johnson observed
that this metal was undergoing change.
The surface nearest the tube was covered
to a depth of one-fourth OF an inch with
a white powder. Beneath this owder the
metal presented uneven surfaces of yellow
!sh color. More metal was procured and
like result folio wed. Rays OF grea chemical
power must have been thrOw wn off and Mr..
johnson called these W rays.
Mr.. johnson then sent block Of the
charged metal TO a friend at Columbia Col
lege, John C. Hotchkiss A reply has. been
received in which preliminary results were
given. The yellow fetal. DR.. Hitch
kiss says, lis probably gold" The base
metal used is q secret.
According to Mr.. johnson 1t is 6S.92
per cent gold, aud he can decompose a
pound in three hours a an expense of 1 8 1-2
cents per hour. This means at cost of
about 80 cents to produce about 81 53 worth
of gold. Steps have been taken to patent

A nJIfNKF\ LAD

All through the proceedings this morning
Frank Williams, n bright mulatto youth,
acted quecrly In the dock. His face con-
vulsel in horrible srimaces, and he uttered
!narticulate sounds, more like an animal
than n human being
Several times he beat his hands wildly
against the air, once jumping from the
bench and glaring at the ceiling. He
| crouched in ii corner of the pen, shiverins
ike n lamb led to the slaughter. Both
Costlgan and HUgg noticed him.
Hes got the yaiie andpurple moonkeys,"
said Cost. gan to keDdig. I've been awatct-
| m him; nc tried 10 grab pink tiger wild
| a white tail out av the ceiin' a bit ago"
Judge Kimball saw the boys actions,
| and said to tie bailiff: Mr.. Kendig, what's
| the matter With that prisoner?''
, bordering on the m-jams, your hon
orr replied Kendig.
Bring him up here" commandea his
honor desiring to end the boys torture III
| the dock.
Policeman Pat CreaGhe told the court that
| the prisoner was Frank Wilson, still in his
teens. and a confirmed drunkard.
HE ought TO be sent to the hospital, said
Pat. Hes in an awful way
J
Hes been seeing things all this morning.
What did you jump at the ceiling for,
wilson, asked the court.
Wilson, exhausted from his task of cata-
locuing a geological garden, leaned weakly
| against the rail.
II didn't see nothink but the walls
"Oh. yes, you did. How old are your
Seventeen"
Seventeen" said the court, land hope
less drunkard, vergiDg on deiirium tre-
mems"
The Judge sentenced him TO two weeks
and ordered that he be treated.
The particularly bright but weird poem
of color in the dock was Agnes johnson and
her clothes. Agnes referred to herself as
Miss Johnsing. lady oh color, but still 4
lady,
That she was lady of color only q blind
man might doubt. Somewhere in the in
terror of Africa there may be darker COM
plexions., but it is doubtful.
A white sailor hat trimmed in scarlet
threw an artificial blush on her No. war
ranted fast ebony black cheeks. Agnes form
filled a Scotch plaid waist, designed by
some weaver in n naniacal frenzy. Her
skirt was baby bite, gored and biased.
Susan Reed accused Alice of cursing her
last night because she refused to treat.
"Yo' 'onner." said Alice. ''dere amt
| notlin' 'oncry bout me, an has nebber
been rested befo'," said she.
"You are arrested now" interie cted the
court.
"Dor't I noes it?' said A gnes. 'Mah

Agnes denied cursng, saying ''hkker

With the financial question raging

it is interesting to throw retrospective
glance at the history of paper currency.
even if it does not bear any relation to
the burning question of the day.
AS in many other inventions which
have revolutionized the civilized world
the Celestial empire may claim the
priority in the invention ofpaper money.
According to reliable authorities it hap
pened in the year 119 B. c. that the
treasury of the Chinese government ex-
perienced it's first deficit. This caused
great embarrassment among the pig
tailed officials until some inventive
genius proposed the issue of square
pieces of deer skin, embellished with
ornaments and writing. which were to
be used as government debt certificates.
These leather notes, of the size of a
square foot, were readily taken by the
mobiles of the country, who in turn sold
them to others, and in this way the first

The men who have aided successful
candidates in their nominating con-
ventions this year, or who aided sena-

already looking forward to the flesh

they will solicit, if their man secures
an election to the presidency. The po-

others shall have government employ
