An AIIegea Relic Of Mash.nrtnn

A valuable relic Was sent by Mrs.
William George, OF Mount Vernon,
Ohio, to Miss Vine Ahern, of Chicago,
in the shape of an iron name-plata
bearing the historic name Of George
Washington, and which once adorned
the front door OF the mansion occu.
pied by the first President of the
United States. The plate is Of iron,
from which oil but traces Of the black
enamel with which it was once covered
have been removed, and measures g.
inches IN length by 81 inches in
width.
1t is about sixteenth OF an inch
thick, but is beveled go that, on the
door, it would appear to be about half
nm inch thick. There are three screw.
holes, one at each-end, and one at the
bottom. The name is in narrow,
white china letters, five eightbs Of an
inch high, and, although worn and
battered, the characters are complete,
except that the letter / is missing
from Washington. The letters are re-
cessed in the plate, and are raised al.
most to The face.
The plate was found by Mrs George
twenty-nlnc years ago in the ruins OF
barn, which was burned on the
homestead Of her nncle, Elliott wore,
South Gay street, this city. She kept

was soldier Of the War of 1912. He
got it from some one connected with
Washington's estate soon after the
death Of the great General. Miss
Ahern, to whom the relic was sent, is

At the recent meeting of the South
Statiordshire Institute of Iron and
Steel Works Managers Thomas Nor.
ris presented some interesting facts
about the remarkable achievements
that have been reached in the manu-.
facture of fine wire.
He pointed out that the Warning
ton wire manufacturer who presented
him with many OF the specimens got
Sl.32 per pound, or over $500 per
ton, for the specimen of drawn wire,
which was largely used in the CON
struction of piano and other musical
and mechanical instruments. For the
pinion wire he got $2l so per pound,
or $43, 200 per ton. 1t took 75i hair
springs to weigh m ounce of 437I
grains. 1t took 81, 900, 900 of them to
weigh a ton, and, taking one TO be
worth a cent and half, the value of a
ton OF these apparently cheap little
things ran up to over 100000. The
barbed instrument used by dentists
for extracting nerves from teeth was
even more expensive, representing n
rate of 50, 10000 per ton. A mile
length OF No. 10 size wire only weighed
twenty pounds and many OF the
ingots wore twelve to fourteen hun.
dred weight each, and after allowing
tor all waste they could get fifty miles
oil wire from one ln9Ot.-lron.

A Piece Of Prehistoric Fat.

DR.. Dali, of tie Smithsonian Insti-
tution, during his recent visit 10
Alaska, secured natural history spec
linen that was prize indeed. 1t was
bit OF mammoth fat from the actual
adipose tissue of an animal that had
been dead for tens of thousands Of
years.
Bodies of mammoths in fresh state
have been dug up from time to time IL
Arctic Siberia, preserved in natural
cold storage since q period probably
antedating the first appearance OF man
on the earth. That is an old story, bat
this is the first known instance in
which the soft pats of beast of this
species have been found on the Amer
lean continent. 1t is easy to imagine
the scientific interest attaching to the
discovery.
Ages ago this mammoth died under
snch circumstances that its corpse
was buried in mud. At about that
time there was a great and permanent
change In the temperature of circum-
polar regions. The climate had been
sub-tropical; it suddenly became
frigid. The mammoths were literally
frozen out" the last of the species
perishing of cold. This particular in
dividual, frozen in bank of clay, had
every prospect OF Excepting" for an
indefinite Period.
Hundreds OF centuries later stream
flowing through an Alaskan valley
tackled the clay bank referred to AMI
began to cut it away. At length some
big bones stuck out, and native OF
exceptional courage dug out one or
two Of them. This required more o:
that quality known in civilized coun-
tries as ''nerve" than might be mag
ined, for strange monsters, however
long they may have been dead, are re-
garded with superstitious awe by saw
ages.
However, the natives finally sum.
moned courage enough to drag the re-
mains of the mammoth out of the clay
bank plecemeal. The body of the an
lmal had been preserved so we'll that
fairly perfect cast of it was found in
the natrix. A quantity OF fat, which
overlap the intestines, was obtained
and was used for greasing boats. DR..
Dali secured piece of it and fetched
1t back to Washington for an exhibit.

Grass Growlng in a CnbIe.

Try from India whic, illustrates one Of
tine dangers TO which underground
wires in tropical countries are subject.
The picture shows a piece OF rubber
cable perforated by foot of grass,
which still retains its vitality and
thrives vigorously,
1t appears that the piece Of core in
question, after being treated with a
composition which was supposed TO
make it proof against white ants, was
buried, unprotected by auy armor, in
soft, damp soil at Calcutta for six
months TO test it.
On the piece Of core being dug ND
the grass was found to have grown
through it. What might appear On
impossibility is explained by the state
ment that the roots of the particular
grass have very hard, sharp, needle
like points. -Pearson's Weekly.

A Curious Indian Custom.

A curious method of obtaining
horses is practiced by some OF the In.
dian tribes. 1t i called on the plains
smoking horses" If tribe decides
to send ont war party, the first thing
to be thought OF is whether there are
enough horses n hand to mount the
warriors. If, as is often the case. the
horses of the tribe have been stolen
by other Indians, they decide to
Smoke" enough horses for present
needs and to steal supply from their
enemies at the first opportunity.
When this decision is reached run
ner is dispatched to the nearest friend
ly tribe with the message that on Ger.
tam day they will be visited by u num-
Der OF young men, forming a war
party from his tribe, who require
horses On the appointed day the
warriors appear, stripped to the waist.
They march silently to the village of
their friends, seat themselves in cir
Gle, light their pipes and begin TO
smoke, at the same time making their
wishes known in sort of droning
chant.
Presently there is seen, fer ont on
the plain, band of horsemen riding
Bayly caparisoned steeds fully equipped
for war. These horsemen dash up to
the village and wheel about the ban
OF beGgars sitting on the ground, in
circles which constantly grow smaller,
until at last they are as close as they
can get to the smokers without riding
over them. Then each rider selects
the man to whom he intends to pres
ent his pony, AMI, as he rides around.
singing and yelling, lac lashes the bare
back OF the man he has selected with
the heavy rawhlde whip until the
blood is seen to trickle down. If one
of the smokers should finch under
the blows, he would not get his horse.
but would be sent home on foot aud
in disgrace.
At last, when the horsemen think
their friends have been made TO paw
enough in suffering for their ponies,
each dismouuts, places the bride in
the hand OF the smoker he has selected,
ana ut the same time hands him the
whip, saying:
Here, beggar, is pony for you to
Tide, for which | have left my mark. "
After all the ponies have been pre-.
sented the "beggars" are invited to a
grand feast, during which they are
treated with every consideration by
their hosts, who also load them with
food sufficient for their homewerI
journey. The braves depart with full
stomachs and smarting backs, but
happy In the possession Of their ponies
and In anticipation OF the time when
their friends shall be in distress and
shall come to smoSe horses with them.

their property resurveyed, and in all
