In q secluded ravine near the Reading
Railroad the Monocacy Blasting Com.

dynamite. 1t also smashes to pieces
other huge iron castings, to be sold to

U the company received two historic
cannons, which will be broken into
pieces. They were brought from the
Brooklyn navy yard on special cars
and they weigh 96,470 and 95, 1926
pounds. The guns were used at the
Vicksburg siege by Gen. Grants for
ces firing shots of 1900 pounds.
The Government officials were 10th
to have the guns destroyed and offered
them to O number of Grand Army
posts, but the necessary arrangements
could not be made to have them &C.

To Insects

A noted bacteroligist has lately con.
ceived the plan Of DISCRIMINATING all
bothersome insects by inoculatinp
them with some disease peculiarly
iatai to their respective species. The
plan was suggested by the successful
results obtained by experiments in rid
ding fields of grain from chinch bugs.
Mosquitoes, which are believed to con
vey malaria from the swamps to the
human system, would exist no more.
flies, which are not as good scaven-
gers as was once supposed, and for
whose loss improved sanitary measures
would more than compensate, would
no longer amble over the heads and
noses of would be nappers. There is a
pathogenic germ which could be cul-
uvated In tubes, as consumption bacilli
are now propagated. which would
sweep millions of the latter from ex.
istence. Bugs, gnats and all insects
which ruin grain and fruit are to be
the subject of psychological expert.

An AMBITIOUS WOMAN.

She Is the Only wowan Wood Rngrayer in

Miss Lois Knight, of New York. is
probably the only successful woman

Miss Powell. who conducts the art de.
partment Of the international Maya
azine in Boston is the only other wo.
man engaged In this line. Afew a
ago there were several women who did
wood engravings. but as this art has
been largely driven out by the half
tone and process work, there has not
been SO Acknowledgement for women
to enter the field of wood engraving.
Mics Knight is the daughter Of DR..
Philip Knight, of Utica Mich. one OF
the Oldest practicing physicians of that
State. As soon as she was graduated
from the high school at her home she
began her art studies with private
teachers. After that she studied for
three yearsin New York, at Cooper's
Union, in the engraving class, taking.
drawing, pen, ink, etc., in private
studios. One day she saw an adver-
tisement, "Engraver Wanted In the

they found out the truth of the matter
they objected because women had
never been employed in their estab-

If they could. She was accepted and
worked there for two years from 7 in
the morning until 9 at night, with an
hour for luncheon. Her experience
there was a pleasant one, and she says
she will always feel grateful to that
firm.
After leaving Providence she went
back to New York and worked for six
months in her boarding house; then
for six months she rented desk room in
an office, and now has q suite of
studios in the Hartford building. Last
April she formed a co. partnership with
Miss Noble Ives, who now attends to

How a $40 Goldpiece Was Doctored by the
Inscriptions.

Inscriptions.
One of the most puzzled men in the
town Is o Montgomery Street restaurant
keeper, who recently took in a 800
goldpiece which filled all the ordinary
requirements of g~enuineness 30 far "a
the superficial test could reveal the
true facts. But a few DAYS ago a
banker stepped into his place and saw
the S2O piece which the restaurant man
had received only a short time before.
The banker had a queer look in his
eyes as he took the coin and rapped IL
sharply with his knife, and the restau
rant keeper had a stranger expression
as he saw his supposed SEQ piece break
into two pieces,
"How is thisY" he demanded.
The banker answered.: SIT ia the
same old game. / had one of those
pieces myself, and since then / have
tested goldpieces of the 800 denomina-
ton very carefully. If that had been
genuine my test would not have bro.
ken it,"
Then the restaurant keeper and the
banker carefully examined it together.
lnhe outside of the goldpiece was all
right, seemingly, when the d~isseveted
parts were placed together. The mil.
ne seemed to be up to the standard.
I'm weight was correct. but the inside
OF the piece was half filed with com
position which was not the customary
gold and alloy. Still closer examin alton
revealed that the gold had been sawed
through with exquisite care and skill
just inside of the milling. Then the
milling had been removed and from
the interior of the piece some of the
gold had been extracted and the baser
composition was made to take the place
OF the more precious metal. Then,
with equal deftness and skill, the mil.
ling had been replaced and soldered in
some way and the trick was done.-

L. J. Williams, a member Of the
State Board of Control, has sworn out
warrants against 8. w. Scruggs, chief
clerk of the dispensary, and Col. John
T. CASTOR, ex-commissioner OF the dis
pensary. This is the result of investi-
cations by the Attorney General, the
testimony showing that Scruggs had
taken from trunk which was seized
by constables four boxes of cigars and
several cans of peaches. The trunk
was the property Of VIM. Beckroge, OF
Savannah, Ga, who went to Charles
ton about a month ago to get married,
and carried a trunk full of wine and
whiskey, cigars, canned peaches, or
anges, etc. United States Judge ST.
monton declared the seizure illegal,
and when Beckroge demanded his trunk
and contents they we're gone. The tAnk
was sold to Legislator Garris, but the
board decided that that was perfectly
legitimate transaction, but could not
stand the idea of employees appropriat-
ing the cigars and things to their own
use. CASTOR got few cigars, some or
anges and pair of shoes out of the
trunk, but after the whole matter was
ventilated he paid for them. The war
rants were served last Friday. Scruggs
was decapitated as chief clerk and W.
II. Lawrence, of Darlington, an expert
book-keeper, was appointed in his
place.
