Paper Money to be Printed in CoIors.

The new paper money, printed in
different colors, will soon be in circula.
ton. Some of the designs have been
prepared already. Secretary Gage is
anxious to issue the notes and certifi-
Gates as quickly as possible. Being a
banker himself, he fully appreciates
the defects of the currency now in the
hands of the people. 1t may be artis-
tic, but the various denominations are
not so easily distinguished from each
other, and even the numerals on them
are obscure and hard to make out.
Anybody who has handful of these
bills will be able to seperate them in
an instant into their different classes,
so as to count them off han1 and with
out scrutiny. At the same time the
greater simplicity Of their patterns
will render them actually more diff
cult to initiate successfully. The vast
elaborateness of the notes in circula-
ton now confuses the eye.
For illustration, take the 81 bill. The
designs for this denomination are al
ready finished and are very handsome.
There are only two, one for the face
and one for the back, because all 81
bills will have the same patterns
whether certificates, bank notes or
treasury notes. When you see bill
with big spread eagle in the middle Of
the face you will recognize it as 81
bill without looking at the large num-
eral beneath. How, then, are you to
understand what kind of 81 bill it isl
The answer is, simply by the color in
which the big numeral of denomina-
ton, the treasury seal and the number
of the bill are printed. II it is treas
ury note these will be in red; if silver
certificate they will be in green; if
bank note they will be in blue.
At present there are three different
designs for the 81 bills. Under the
new arrangements there will be only
one design, the sole variation deing in
the colors as described. 1t will be the
same way with the 81 bill-instead of
three patterns there will be one. This
scheme will be carried out through all
the denominations of paper money.
There are nine denominations in all,
running from 81 to 1000. Under the
present system there are twenty-seven
patterns.

was through the sense of smell, no
doubt, though some other mouse might
have informed it. 1t sat upon its
launches and looked up. The button
of the doors was considerably above it,
for the stand was raised about three in
ches from the floor by feet. 1t seemed
to deliberate. Then it made leap,
and struck the doors at the bottom at
the place Of their touching on the cleat
at the very point where blow would
be most likely to jar them open.
This action was repeated three times.
The last time one little paw went back
of the cleat, which had been Jared out
somewhat, and the other succeeded in
catching so as to support the mouse's
body. The result? The door was pulled
and pushed open as nationally as a hu-
man hand could have done it. The lady
could not allow her food to be spoiled,
of course. The mouse was scared away
but the lady must have regretted the
necessity of preventing Its enjoying
what it had come at by procedure as
certainly rational as was ever human
procedure.

Six Stamp Mills

VIII BE Running Soon in Camp at
Flor nee, Idaho.
"Florence is lively camp" said John
Baum, who came in from there yester-
day. "There has been strong move
ment of capital into Florence this sea-
son and while the investments have
not been widely heralded, because
quietly made, the result is none the
less apparent in the activity to be seen
on every hand. Within year Florence
will have an aggregate payroll that will
make it one of the best mining centers
in the State md I confidently expect
to see Idaho county take a place well
up toward the head of the list of the
wealth producers of the State.
"There will be six mills running soon
in the camp. A year ago there were
but two running along in desultory
fashion. The Banner mill started up
about three weeks ago and is doing
good work. Captain N. D. Moore will
5000 have five-stamp mill working on
his Blossom and as that property has
yielied thousands of dollars when
worked by hand, the Captains company
will doubtless find the product of the
mill most profitable. The Poorman
company announces that a mill has
been ordered for that property, but it
will not be put in place until spring.
Tho pa,v Hir,, N, i'll will do,htIaac no in
operation next week and the Waverly
has new Hve-stamp mill on the way,
which will replace two stamp mill
now in use there. The latter mill, it is
Understood, will go to the Bluebird
mine. The mill on the Ozark is run
ming night and day and is reducing
from twelve to fifteen tons of rich ore
daily. The pay roll of the Banner,
Waverly and Ozark companies must be
fully $3.50 per day now with a prospect
that it will be increased soon.
"Mines with mills are not the only
ones that are showing activity, how
ever" continued Mr.. Baum. "There
are possibly twenty properties in the
camp that will keep men at work all
winter, getting the mines opened up
and in shape for the introduction of
machinery next season. Hundreds of
claims will also be worked during the
winter in the vicinity. L have not lately
visited Warren, Elk City and Dixie,
but 1 understand from the reports that
have come to Florence from those
camps that the same degree of activity
is manifested there."-Spokane Review.

Not Dead Languages.

The idea is commonly prevalent, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, that
Latin and Greek are dead languages, no
longer used as mediums of communica-
ton. AS matter of fact, each is now
a living language. The Greek is spoken
by millions of people as their mother
tongue, and so little has the language
changed in twenty centuries that the
modern native of Athens reads the ora
tions of Demosthenes and the history
or Thucydides with more ease than the
ordinary Englishman the poems of
Chaucer. Latin is not now growing
language like the English, but is used
as a means of official and often of per-
sonal communication among the clergy
of the Roman Catholic church. All
official papers emenating from Rome
are in Latin pure as that of Tacitus,
while the deliberations of the councils
are held in the same language. He
brew, too, is still living language, be-
ing used not only in the orthodox syn
agogues, but also as the daily speech
of great numbers Of Jews, particularly
in Russia, Austria and Germany.

1t is reported that large party will
sail from New York next month for
Alaska, via the Straits of Magellan and
Seattle. The journey is undertaken in
the search of gold, and the steamer Sc
lected to transport the colony is the
City of Columbia. The event calls up
the fact that forty-nine years ago a
similar party set out from the same
port on the good steamer, Califoria, for
San Francisco in the search for gold in
the state of California. The steamer
left New York in december, 1913, and
arrived in San Francisco on February
%, 1919. If the departure of the City
CT Columbia from New York for the
Pacific means as much to the gold
supply of the WORLD in the next half
century as the departure of the steam
err California did in 1913, the world will
receive an immense addition to its
stock.

escape OF water. At the bottom OF
the lower arm is stop cock, which
when open, allows water to escape,
thus creating a vacuum and setting
the machine in motion. The water
rising to the bent meets a valve in
the air chamber, which it forces for.
ward until shut. The water being
cut off is raised, and at the top is a
puppet valve held by a string. This
is forced open and some water escapes
into trough outside. This relieves
the pressure on the other valve and
it again opens, thus raising more
water from the inlet pipe. This pre-
cess is rapidly repeated, as many as
400 pulsatiOnS occurring in a minute,
and the flow from the top bent of the
siphon is almost continuous. At sea
level one of these costing 81, 200 raised

ty-four hours. 1t is possible that
these machines can in time be made
cheaper and so effective as to cCme

The storage reservoirs should be on
the highest point of land to be irri-
gated. They had best be built on top
of the ground with artificial banks so
as to secure all the fall possible.
Sometimes a gully or ravine can be
found and damned across the mouth.
In the prairie country, however, this
is rarely possible. These tanks
should be round and a firm, clayed
gravel is the best material for the
banks. The slope of the embank-
ments should be at least 3 to | on the
inside, at 4 to l outside. If difficulty
is met with in securing a soil which
will hold water thin layer of cheap
aSphaltum will remedy the trouble.
1t is safe to say that the owner of
l6O acres or less Of fertile west Kansas
laOd will feel amply repaid in mind
and pocket for the construction of an
Irrigation plant which will insure
him against any possible loss of crops

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed
