VALIDITY OF GOLD CONTRACTS
London Daily News Believes the Supreme
Court Would Uphold Them.


Court Would Uphold Them.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Daily News
in an article discussing the powers OF
the United States supreme court, and
the possibility of a decision in opposi-
tion to the validity of gold contracts,
says:
1.-The point is complicated by one de-
cision, and the future course of the
United States supreme court in this
particular is by no means so certain as
Wall street and Lombard street would
like to believe, but the conservatism
shown by the supreme court and its
special respect tor property, as demon
strated by its verdict against the income
tax, indicate that the chances are in
favor of the validity of gold contracts
being maintained under all circum-
stances -

be considerable snow in the deep, heavi-

DR.. schmIdt's Laboratory Solving Many
Problems.
THE physicians of Chicago are taking
liberal advantage of the Y ray labora-
tory which DIR. o. L. Schmidt has fitted
out for the purpose of turning the
Roentgen discovery to account 10
diagnosing disease. The laboratory
was established three months ago. DR..
Schmidt is of the faculty of the North
western Medical school and the Chicago
Polytechnic. Associated with him are
DR.. f. c. Harnisch, formerly assistant at
the University of Leipsic, and Paul
BTacht, photographer. The voltage is
furnished by 12-inch spark coil with
25 miles of wire, capable of supplying
100000 volts for ardinary service.
Many interesting subjects have been
photographed at the laboratory
Physicians have been greatly aided in
locating bullets, exposing peculiar con-
ditSons of bone and sinew, and in several
instances have secured explanations OF
mysterious conditions which have
batfled medical skill. Heretofore it has
required an hour or more for an ex,
posure.. DR.. Schmidt has reduced the
time to five minutes for a hand, ter
minutes for an elbow, and other parts ct
the anatomy in proportion.

DAZZLING GEMS.
Nall Dealer Who Cuts Dash with His
Successful Idea.

Nall Dealer Who Cuts a Dash with His
Successful Idea
Boston has Barney Barnate who
simply dazzles his Chicago customers
every time he calls upon them. This he
does about six times a year. He is a
young man of fine appearance and large
frame. Diamonds, emeralds and rubies
blaze atvarious points over his elegant-
ly-attired person, and it is not an uncom-
mon thing to see a 81, 900 treasury note
peeping conspicuously from each of his
vest pockets.
He sweeps up to the place of business
of his customers and makes his way
with stately self-possession to the Office
of the president or proprietor. Some
of his customers insinuate that his
bizarre ways are for advertising pur-
poses, but, if such is the case, they adj
nit three-sheet posters could do it no
better. This individual is a favorite,
however, among wholesale hardware
merchants on Lake street and vicinity,
as his presence is ever refreshing. Mr..
Pearson-for that is his name-is q
shining example of the value of adapt
ing an idea. While in England some
years ago he discovered a process for
coating nails with a chemical cement.
This made them as valuable for hold
fast purposes as carefully threaded
screws which cost ten times as much.
He bought the patent for America and
is reaping a fortune. He had 100000
kegs of nails on hand when the trust
boosted prices, and by this alone cleared
nearly 100000.
His method is to contract with nail
mill for standard nails on his specifica-
lions. These specifications make the
nail of lighter gauge than regular sizes.
In this way key containing anywhere
from IS to 95 pounds will hold as many
nails as the standard 100-pound key.
The cement covering makes the lighter
nail superior to the heavier for holdfast
purposes, besides being water and rust
proof.

Suspected Object of Prof. Dyche's Sudden
Departure for the North.
1t is possible that there is an object
that does not appear on the surface of
the sudden departure for Alaska of
Prof. L. L. Dyche, of the Kansas state
university.
During his northern trip last sum-
mer the professor paid.a visit, while in
Greenland, to the largest meteorite in
the world, and Immediately announced
his determination to possess it. Lieut..
Peary, however, claimed the meteorite
by right of discovery, and warned the
professor not to attempt to remove 1t.
As the meteorite weighs dozens of tons,
Peary's warning was of necessity heed
ed at the time, but Prof. Dyche stated
distinctly that he intended within a
few years to return to Greenland for
the meteorite.

A gentleman living near this place

Taylor dispatch to the Philadelphia
Times. When he was killing and dress
ing them the following strange occur
renee transpireG: AS he went to wiring
the neck of one of the birds the head
slipped off in his hand, pulling about
two inches of skin and feathers along
with it.
Turning a moment later to pick vi
the bird from where he had thrown it,
the gentleman found the little fellow
lying and hopping about as though
nothing untoward had happened, his
bare neck sticking up gaunt and head
less.
Thinking the birds activity resulted
from q posthumus contraction of the
muscles the gentleman attempted to
pick him up, when the little fellow
mounted in the air and few away, fut-
tering and quiyering now and then, but
when about 200 yards from the house
he disappeared into small pine thicket,
flying to the last.

thing new in the way of melody, and
since the time of Palestrina the study
Of inharmonious and discordant combi-
nations lave been studied with as great
zest as ever was harmony. 1t is with
this knowledge of the effects of discord
after intervals of harmony that num-
Der of new and decidedly unique instru-
ments for orchestral purposes have been
devised.
First and foremost among these freak
instrument creations is a pedal clario-
net, which has this advantage over the
ordinary clarionet, that it has much
lower and consequently heavier reach,
being heavy in tone and adding materi-
ally to the power of the orchestra. 1t
is combination of the clarionet and
the sexaphone. The lingering is the
same as in the 13-keyed clarionet. Small
metal plates instead of the customary
rings are used, however, thus securing
more perfect and complete system Of
stops than in the ordinary clarionet.
While in tone the pedal clarionetis mel
low and full, there is an unexpected
softness and at the same time a force
aneonaled by any other instrument

in the not long ago he went out hunt
ing. His horse took fright and rushed
headlong down the mountain, down
toward frigntful precipice. A few
yards more and horse and rider would
be dashed to pieces. But up rose the
king in his stirrups and brought his
iron fists down ON the poor beasts head
with-well-with whack. The horse
