ings with them. Later. II seems. Jones
Joined the camp under the name OF
Thomas Meric Jones"
Continuing his account OF the visit
to Chicago, Jones said he arrived there
Sept. %. 1895. and was met at the rail-
road station by st. John Gaffney. He
stayed at McCoy's hotel. where the
committee on secret organization met.
Ivory. Jones stated. attended the meet
ing at which names were chosen to be
submitted to the public convention as
officers OF the new movement" the
object being that the open movement
might be controlled, as IL is, according
to Jones. by the secret organization.
In another portion of his testimony
Jones said he saw Ivory in Cody's sa-
loon in New York. which was largely
frequented by members Of the organi-
cation. two or three weeks before
Ivory left America. Jones then pro-
duced a document purporting 10 give
the constitution of the society of 1895,
also type copies of the constitution and
ritual Of the Clan-na- Gael. Jones said
any one convicted Of dynamite out
rage was described in the proceedings
OF the organization as a soldier OF
Ireland"
The witness afterwards produced a
mass of documents giving camp" in
structions. passwords, signs. etc. and
a copy of the report OF the secret con-
vention at Chicago in 1895, in which
the item OF the expenditure. $500 for
''mereha ndise," which Jones explained
meant dynamite.
The cross-examination of Jones did
not shake his evidence. but counsel for
Ivory submitted that II was not a case
to go to trial. The magistrate how
ever. emphatically declared there were
"ample grounds" to send the case to
trial and Ivory was formally commit

with the long muzzles Of silver guns gleaming from the silver turrets and barbettes, and silver military masts ris- ing like glittering white birch poles from the silver deck. and the sun light ing up the silver sides as the stately beauties swung into line up the har- Dor! A white fleet to be proud of, that!
 In the question of the ability of the United States alone to coin silver to ad- vantage, the amounts of coin held by other nations must figure. Ofsilver and gold, coin and bullion combined, we have slightly more than any other na- tion. Call it, for the sake of round figures and convenience, S1, ,55o, ,o0o. 900. The nation which cannes next is not Great Britain, as many would suppose. but France, with S1,300, 900 900 in coin.
 This is not because France is a richer country than Britain, but because it is a more thrifty one. Coin circulates free ly, the Bank of France has large quantity of gold, and most of the peas ants have little hoards shrewdly hidden away here and there, tied up in stock ings. France has almost exactly as much actual silver coin as we have say $500,000,000. Great Britain has less than one-quarter as much silver coin as either France or the United States. Although it is there used more freely than here in making change. because there is no gold coin smaller than S2.50, nor any Bank of England note smaller than $25, the Briton hoards no silver.
 France has more silver than any other nation save ours; she has more gold than any other. There are supposed to be $500, 100000 in gold coin in France to less than $500 1000, 900 in this country. Great Britain has something less than $550,000,000 in gold coin. and but S112.> 000,o0o in silver; altogether, less than half our total of coin and government bullion, and almost exactly half of Frances. Russia and Austria follow considerable distance after Great Brit ain and France as coiners. but Germany has more gold and silver coin than Great Britain
 In any question involving the use of metal as money affecting its price, by the law of supply and demand, 1t would seem that France and Germany would prove more important factors to be con sidered than Great Britain. If gold is the only proper standard, France has considerably more gold than any other nation. If silver is to be sustained in value by use as money she has done more to sustain it than any other na-

Natural Toothp,ck. in Mexico.

Toothpiclls prepared by nature are a product of Spain and Mexico. Ammi visnasa, an umbelliferous plant, is called the "toothpiclS bishop weed" on account of the use made in Spain of the rays or stalks of the main umbel. These. after Towering, shrink, and become 30 hard that they form convenient tooth- picks. After they have fulfilled this purpose they are chewed, and are sup posed to be of service for strengthening the gums. The spines of Echinocactus yisnaga are in common use among the Mexicans for the same purpose. The number of these spines upon a single plant is something enormous. A com paratively small plant was estimated to have 17,6o0, and large specimen could have no fewer than 51 ,000.

This neck twist in the water curves my body So that l immediately come to the surface again. and prevents all possi- bility of striking the bottom. Where l know that the water is deep enough, [ make still different twist. which. al though sending my body somewhat deeper into the water, brings me to the surface in almost the exact place where 1 struck.
 Again, it is possible for me to regn- late the speed at which I drop througl, the air. This is done by the arrange ment of my hands and arms, and by the position of my body in the air There are great many people who have doubted my ability to do this, and men of science have tried to prove to me, on paper, that such Q thing was contrary to all the laws of mechanics. I showed them, however, Oil several occasions. that all their paper arguments were nothing in the face of my absolute performance My last proof was at Washington, D. C. There l dived olf structure 1S0 feet high. and struck the water in a second and half. Then did it all over again, the second time taking nine seconds for the descent. The time for each descent was accurate 1y kept by dozen stop watches
 My 1s6-foot jump at St. Louis was from tower which was built for me, and dived into an artificial lake. Five thousand people saw the act. Although it might seem that a. person could not think much in the few seconds I took to make the dive, I did think a great deal more than most people do in the same length of time. This has since been explained to me by people who claim to know all about such things, by saying that, under any great strain of excitement, mans will and brain are more than normally active. As left the tower on the downward course, I remember thinking how far away the water looked. I was almost halfway down before took the horizontal posi- ton. I got a glance around at the peo- pie beside the lake, and remember es-

there is a still stronger possibility that even after they had tried it, there would be little of them left to speak of their emotions. Even if the person was not killed in making such dive it would take so long to prepare for it that they might forget what the original question was before he arrived at the proper point.
 q can tell you how it feels. all right, for have made the dive. But in order that everybody may know exactly what mean, it will be necessary for me first to tell few things about my man ner of diving. It's very simple to make these high dives when you know just what you are doing, but the hardest thing in the world when you don't. It requires more than courage; ittakes science. The most wonderful thing about it is that there are few people, even among divers, who really under stand what parts of the body most con- tribute to make high dive successful. It is in the neck that the secret 1ies By proper knowledge of the muscles of the neck and the knowledge of just how to use them, the greatest wonders may be accomplished. In making dives, l plunge forward in the air and fall straight down about one-third the dis tance that am going. Then l give a sudden and vigorous twist of the neck, and that places my body almost hori- zontal in the air. This position, in which the body is to some extent sup ported by the air, maintain for almost the entire length of the dive. When about ten feet from the surface, make another twist, and strike the water in a vertical position.
 s'It has taken me years to determine the exact method by which I am able to turn my body in any position I de sire. When it is understood that my great dive of l86 feet was made in just a fraction over four seconds, it will be seen what an exceedingly limited time l have to arrange this all-important matter of position.
 "Once am in the water, there comes another twist of the neck, entirely diff ferent. however. from that given when l desire to turn the body in the air, for now have the terrific resistance of the water against me. which is great deal different from the resistance of the air.

Then there is the dearest of glove boxes, copied from a model of the time of Louis KY, when glove boxes and all other dainties suitable as gifts from de- voted swains to adored ones reached their highest perfection. This box is silver, with green enamel, and matches a ring stand also of silver that is simply irrisistible.
 Other dainties are smelling salts bottle of cut glass and gold, and but ton hook of gold and green enamel, set with brilliants. Of course, the proud possessor of the latter will never wear aught hut buttoned shoes.

tion-save ours. Germany has $61S,- 000,0o0 in gold coin, $215 ,000 in sil- yer coin.
 Whether gold would command pre- mium in this country in the event of free coinage is controyerted question. Whether it did or not-and especially in the former event-no great amount of silver coin would flow hither from any source, simply because there would be no profit in such an importation. It would not pay to ship British shillings or half crowns, or French francs here to be recoined, because all these coins are either token money, or, in France, lighter weight than our own. They are worth more at home than their bull lion value in America at sixteen to one. Even if, by any possible chance, any great quantity of European silver coin could drift here it would have to be promptly replaced, that trade might go on unhampered.
 The silver glut, if any occurred, would have to come in the form of bullion or plate, not coin. And it might come the gold men say it would; the silver men say it would not-from vastly in- creased production at the mines.
 Into all these calculations the use of gold and silver in the arts has to enter. Much the largest share of freshly-mined gold and silver alike go into plate and ornaments, and never become coin. If either metal were greatly cheapened by increased production. it's use in the arts would be stimulated And thus the glut would tend to check itself.
 Gold men are making this campaign, prophesying disaster as the result of free coinage. Silver men are promis- ing the millennium from it's operation. It is quite possible, seeing that prac- tically all the precious metals in the world are in use in one way or another. that both sides are anticipating too much--that free silyer's power. whether for good or evil, is being oxerestimated.
