To Replace India Rubber.

The bicycle craze has created such a
demand for india rubber that it has set
inventors at work to provide substi-
tute. An Englishman, Charles Grist,
claims to have produced a material
which will take the place of rubber in
many of it's uses. He has named it
"oxilin," and it appears to be an oxi-
died oil. Oxidized oil is not new, but
the inventor claims that he is the first
person who has ever succeeded in COM
pletely oxidizing it. In connection with
the oil he uses vegetable fibers. 1t is
stated that oxilin will perfectly replace
india rubber for large variety of pur-
poses, such as hydraulic packings, wire
insulations, ETC., being impervious to
mineral oil and standing temperature
of from 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
in it's natural and vulcanized forms re-
spectively. 1t will be sold much cheap
er than india Minneapolis Tri.

He Has Ten Fingers.

Charles w. Haines of Cincinnati, who
is "a years old, has five fingers on each
of his hands, but no thumbs. In the
place of his thumbs are perfectly
ed fingers similar in appearance to an
index finger, only little longer. The
remarkability of his case is that nature
so arranged it that the first phalanx,
unlike other fingers, has ball joint ar
ticulating with the first metacarpal in
a way that enables him to turn the fill
ger about in any direction, even upon
the back of his hand.
Haines is silk bandage weaver, and
by the aid of his thumb-fingers he can
reach into the loom and catch up brol-
en- threads and tie them with one hand,
not being compelled to use hook like
other workmen. He says that on ac-
count of his hands being so constructed
he can save time and do more work in
day than anyone at his shop. Like
Miss Sayers, Haines is musician. He
is a good performer on either, and
when not employed at his work he
spends a great deal of time playing
upon this difficult instrument He can
pick the strings more nimbly with
what serves him as thumb than with
his other fingers, and he verify believes
that nature furnished him with q de-
formity that has proven physiological

open the Indian Mints.
Lord Salisbury sent to Ambassador
Hay the reply of the British Government
to the proposals of the American Bimetal-
lie Commission, headed by Senator VOL
colt. 1t is automatically worded note.
His lordship says that the Government
of Great Britain is not able to reopen the
India mints at present. He regrets his
inability to accede to the proposals of the
American commission, Great Britain hav-
ing MS great an interest as the United
States and France in securing stable par
exchange for gold and silver and an en-
larged use of silver.
In these circumstances, continues Lord
Salisbury, the British Government does
not see the desirability Of an international
monetary conference, but will be pleased
to consider any other practical sugges-
tons from the United States. Lord Sails

Remembers war of 1912.

"Aunt" Aurelia Fuller, the Oldest
woman on Cape Cod, who was 100
years of age this week, comes of revo-
lutionary stock, and was born within a
stones throw Of the house in which
she now resides. Part of her present
dwelling was constructed of lumber
from the old house in which She was
born. Her father was farmer, and
Aurelia was one Of family of nine
children, all of whom are dead except
brother, who is a great many years
her junior. When the war of 1912 broke
out she heard the news, and remember
the haste with which her father and
one of his neighbors left for the scene
of battle, which was at the time when
the man-of-war Nimrod sailed into
Vineyard Sound and bombarded tho
town Of Falmouth.

incorrigible hussy. This is the kind of
woman who leads men to ruin, who sub
verts class distinctions, who creeps into
foolish womens houses and steals hus-
bands heart from his lawful wife,"
He saw her standing alone at the end
of the terrace, above that tennis lawn
where he and Clarice had played so often
in days gone by. Nestorius had gone back
to the house. She was leaning wearily
against an antique vase, gazing into the
night
He could not command his temper; that
white hot fire in his breast must needO
have some relief. Silence, calmness, were
alike impossible. There is an unreason-
ing anger which must be satisfied, even
at the loss of self-respect, which is sure
ly the heaviest price that any man can
pay for self-indulgence. He walked
quickly to the spot where Stella was
standing, he placed himself by her side,
but was not able to see her face, which
was turned from him.
Well he began, in his harshest voice,
you have taken the measure of our
statesman, Miss Boldwood. He is man
peculiarly susceptible to tiattery, espe-
cially woman's flattery, and your little
bit of melcdrama just now must have
delighted him"
She turned quickly and faced him,
white as death as it seemed to him, in
that dim light. Her face cleaned upon
him like the face of ghost. The large
dark eyes, wet with tears, alone had a
look of life.
"Were you listening and watching US
from some corLer, Lord Lashmar?" she
asked, contcmptuously.

yours breathes around it and wraps it in
luminous atmosphere in which all out
