Great Britain regarding the Soudan expe-
ditfon ard containing Information whioh
the opposition here complains the Marquis

The incident recalls similar breach OF

II Is understood that the Soudan sxpe-

The Venezuelan question has again crept
20 the front. The Speaker says II hears
cisquieting news In connection with the
negotiations for a peaceful settlement OF
the boundary dispute between British
Guiana and Venezuela. II adds, however.
that aothing definite has yet happened.

for immediate anxiety. But" the
Speaker continues. two facts are perfect

The Greek Die.

The gold or silver blank, carefully weigh
ed and roughly forged, was heated to red
ness and laid by tongs on the die. The
top was then adjusted and the impression
made by mighty blows with a smiths
hammer. As no collar was used, and all
register neglected, the shape-but not the
weight-of each coin varied. Parts of the
vice were often lost. Sometimes the edge
of the metal cracked and very frequently
the impression doubled. Later on hinged
adjustment OF tho dies was used. Greek
dies were not made Of steel, but Of harden
ed bronze. They soon wore and needed
continual restoration and deepening. The
die sculptors were therefore constantly ut
work on them.
Careful examination shows that the dies
were mostly cut with wheel, like gems.
not with craving tools. This retouching
Of the matrices explains the numerous
minute variations In duplicates Of the same
coins. Very few are found exactly alike.
On the other hand, IL must not be supposed
that these exquisite works Of art are al
ways much defaced The boarding instinct
hal. concealed many that had just left the
mint and that preserve all their pristine
exquisite sharpness. One of the loveliest

How To See the Wno.

Take polished metal surface Of two
feet or more and with straight edge.
A large handsaw will answer the pur-
pose. Take "a windy day on which to
make the experiment, paying no atten-
ton to atmospheric conditions. for such
an experiment can be as successfully
made on a clear day as il can ON q
cloudy one, and the results will be
equally good in summer or winter. The
only thing you need TO look out for is
that you do not attempt to 'see the
wind" ON rainy or murky day, as con-
ditions are then very unfavorable.
When everything is in readiness, hold
the metallic surface at right angles to
the direction Of the wind. e., il the
wind is in the north. hold the metal
east and west, but instead Of holding it
vertical incline it about AZ degrees TO
the horizon. When this has been done,
sight carefully along the edge Of a
sharply defined object for some mo-
ments and you will see the wind pour
ing over in graceful curves almost like
water. st Louis Republic.

Opposition Telephone Companies.

Opposhhon Teiephone Companies.
BosTos, Massachusetts, October 5-It
will be remembered that some months
ago the papers we're filed with the great
things the Harrison Telephone Co., with
its $50, 900, 900 Of paper capital. was
about to accomplish az rival of the Bell
Telephone companies throughout the
United States.
Investigation showed that the main
asset OF the Harrison company was an
opposition telephone exchange at Fort
Smith, Ark. owned by the Harrison In
formation Construction Co., but neverthe-
less great things were promised for the
whole country.
The Boston News Bureau in lust ad-
vised by telegraph from Fort Smith.
Ark, that after four years OF desperate
struggle for existence, this opposi ion ex.
change has passed into the hands OF the
South western Telegraph & Telephone Co,
which operates under the Bell patents in
Arkansas and Texas.
This exchange was the foundation o
the Harrison International Co., which
was originally capitalized at $4,000,
600. afterwards reduced to $40, 900, 900
The exchange was bnilt In most thor
ough manner and cost the Harrison In
ternetional Co. over $4,000 TIT
South western company secures the plant

oneexchange can be successfully operated
in any one community and that the rates
