sition. Even though It does provide
for a large outlay Of money" said one
business man, "the expenditures would
all come home to the state within thirty
years. Meantime our prisoners will be
living humane and healthful lives

REPORT ON THE M. B. L. A
Result of an investigation Made by
Missouri Insurance Officers.

BOSTON, July 30.-Augustus F. Harvey.
actuary of the Missouri State Insurance
Department and James NJ. Lewis. of the
same, who have been investigating the
Massachusetts Benefit Life Association, to-
day made report which says that all pol
icies issued from 1879 till the enactment of
the statutes of 1885, relating to assessment
insurance, We're illegal, and that the COM
pany's Illegal business prior TO 1885 seems
70 have been legalized by the Legislature.
The report severely criticised the general
court for the legislation in connection with
the case. The account books of the asso-
citation show: Mortuary and reserve,
$909,O69; expense account, $106, 1872; nonin-
vested assets, 81, los 1855; contingent assets,
$a95, 35l; liabilities, $9l1, 1883; emergency fund.-
$685., 239; policies in force June 80 IS III.
The report says that the new president
Mr. Rolker, proposes reform. He recon-
mends that all policy holders subject to the
call for extra assessments pay the amounts
asked for. TO be held in trust and to be re-
turned unless 70 per cent. of the amount
shall be paid. 1t says that the association s
survival depends entirely upon the payment
of the present call and extra call by the
assessment members, and also upon prompt
payment of future premiums by new men,

MAKING HIS OWN GOLD
DIR. EMMENS CLAIMS TO HAVE REAL
lied THE ALCHEMIsT'S DREAM.
Says He Is Producing Six Ounces of
yellow Metal from Ten Ounces
of Silver by Pressure.

NEW YORK, July 30.-Klondike has a
rival in Staten island, If what DIR. Stephen
H. Emmens says is true. He declares that
gold has been produced there at profit for
the last three months-not mined but man
ufactured out of Mexican silver dollars. Dr.
Emmens is a scientist and a practical
metallurgist. He claims that after years of
experiment he has realized the alchemst's
dream, the artificial production of gold, and
has found the philosophers stone, which he
has called argentaurum (silver-gold.) With
argentaurum which, he says, is a metallic
element between silver and gold. DR.. EN-
mems claims to have accomplished through
the agency of cold and impact the trans
mission of the white metal into the yellow

that he had solved the problem of transmit
tation. was laughed at, but now, he says.
his artificial gold has stood the test of the
United States assay Office in Wall street
which has purchased six ingots of the prod
uct Of his laboratory aggregating 1854
ounces, and worth nearly LOCO. The books
of the assay office contain the following
records of purchase of bullion from DR.. En-

A Catholic Project

NEW YORK, July 3O-The Rome CORE
spondent of the New York Freeman's Jour
nal has cabed a letter written by Cardinal
Jacobini and addressed to all Catholic bish-
ops throughout the world, pro-
posing one of the most widespread
series of religious events prob
ably ever held. These extraordinary re-
ligious services it is intended shall COM
memorate the close of the nineteenth and
the beginning of the twentieth century
The project put forth by Cardinal Jacobnf
is the result of the desire to respond to the
wish of Pope Leo XIII to consecrate the
transition from one century to the other by
IAN extraordinary Invocation of the divine
assistance of Jesus Christ as a happy pres
tige of peace and concord" The letter
shows that the idea has the full approba-
ton of his Holiness, and Catholic delegates
from all nations assembled in congress at
Rome to promote its realization" The COM
munication prays the cooperation of vari-
Gus diocesan heads in the direction of the
creation of the national committees to act
with the main body.

LAKE OF OIL SOMEWHERE
DRILLERS SEARCHING FOR 1T IN
THE INDIANA GAS BELT.
New Field Near Peru-WeIIs in the
Alexandria PO0I--0utput In
State During July.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


MONTPELIER, Ind, July 30-The indi-
cations are that an oil field of no mean
magnitude will be opened up in the vicinity
of Peru. The latest from that end of the
great Indiana field is that the Peoples OIL
Company has completed an oil producer
which shows for about twenty barrels
day. This venture may lead to the opening
of a field that may surprise the trade in
general One thing is certain; there exists
wonderful lake of oil somewhere in close
proximity TO the famous gas belt, and 1t
will certainly be discovered in the near
future. The Alexandria pool has developed
into much more prominent one than was
expected. All told, there have been twenty
two wells completed, of which thirteen are
gas wells and dry holes and the nine others
are oil producers, with a daily output of
close to two hundred barrels This is
good showing for a field, as in the
Findlay field of Ohio at least dozen wells
We're completed before a showing of oil was
found and then it was located about twelve
miles from where the first test was made.
Following are a few of the wells completed
during July, with the name of the farms
on which they are located, the owner, num-
Der of wells and the first DAVIS Output.

Totals .70.S4 -.

The value assigned to the last ingot is an
estimate. Andrew Mason, the superlntend-
ent of the assay office, said its appearance
would indicate about the same degree of
fineness as that of the other ingots. He
said: DIR. EmmenS claims to have dlScoV-
cred the substantial identity of two metals
which chemists have always considered dis
tnct elements. He tells us of results, but
does not disclose his processes. we can
not under these circumstances subscribe to
his claims. There is a trace OF gold IN Mex
lean dollars as now minted. do not know
the ratio to silver. 1t is probably not as
much as one in 1000 parts.
DR. Emmens later said: Under my pro-
cess ten ounces of Mexican silver dollars
will WELD about six ounces of argentaurum
gold. | nave a profit of between SO and 81
an ounce on each of the ingots except the
first one which must have cost me more
than 81, 900 ounce. 1t represented mum
berless experiments by which 1 arrived at
the proper method.
Dr. Emmens says his first ingot was pro-
duced by hand. He says he now mas a
machine capable of producing a pressure
of 500 tons per square inch to do the work
He calls it a "force engine" DR.. EmmenS
showed a letter which he had received from
a man who is recognized as a leading physl-
cist and who insisted that his name be not
made public. He asks Dr. Emmens to send
him a sample of his product. with view
to making an examination of its spectrum
as compared with the spectrum or Ordinary
gold in a chemically pure condition. Dr
Emmens has had q piece cut from the last
delivered at the assay office to be sent TO ms
