Chemically hardened railroad sleep
ers-the idea of a Munich architect
named Hasselman-are proving quite
satisfactory on the Bavarian state rail-
I roads. The process, lasting about six
hours consists of a double baking of
the wood and treatment with Oil Of
vitriol and sulphate of iron, followed
by placing in bath Of chloride of lime
and milk of lime at temperature of
400 to 1875 degrees centigrade and pres
sure Of about two and one-half atmos-
pheres. The cost IS about 2 cents per
tie. The first baking destroys the germ
of fermentation and induces mechani-
cal union Of the personalities with the
fibre Of the wood and the second i'm
parts remarkable hardness, and so
changes the character of the wood that
IT remains dry even in damp places.

ALL EYES FIXED ON SUMPTER.
Unprecedented Demand for Publications
Regarding this Favored Region.

In letter to THE MINER, W. n. Hurl.
burt, general passenger agent Of the OR.
4 NJ. says that the demand for publca.
tons In regard to eastern Oregon Is un.
precedented, that the rail roads supply Is
exhausted, and that third edition Of
"The Gold Fields Of Eastern Oregon"
will soon be issued. The artistic half.tone
cuts with which this pamphlet was
illustrated are now In the east and will
soon appear In popular and widely circu.
lated publication.
These cuts were made for the special
purpose Of illustrating the descriptive
work, those exquisite pen pictures, by
Colonel P. Donan, than whom there Is to.
day no more facile and entertaining writer
Of the English language. All who have
ever read line from his inimitable pen
know that whatever the subject, however
dull and common place the topic, II Is rem.
dered attractive by his magic touch, and
that everything he writes Is read with
eager interest by thousands, ii only for its
literary merits, which abounds IN superb
descriptions, picturesque phrases, peculiar.
ly Donanesque comparisons-allk kinds Of
rhetorical acrobatic teats.
So II happens that with his universally
acknowiedg literary ability, aided by the
craft Of skilled illustrator and backed by
the enterprise and money Of the .. K. u
N. X. K. Co., at the command Of Mr..
Hurlburt, he has produced a book that
has caught and held the attention Of the
world, and led II to investigate and covet
the boundless mineral wealth surrounding
Sumpter, the great gold.poducing camp
Of America.

sHoPLIFTING ON A WAGER.
4 Woman's Blunder Concerning; De
lection in BiE Stores.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 27.-Minnie Clark,
of Somerville. was arrested yesterday on
the charge OF shoplifting. Five pairs of
gloves and fancy vase were found in her
possession. She and woman friend had
a discussion whethe: it were possible to
go to one of the large stores and take a
few articles without being detected The
friend maintained that the person who at
tempted it was sure to be caught Miss
Clark had a different opinion. She thought
that she was skillful enough to outwit the
inspector, and so made wager with her
friend that she would make the attempt
and would not be caught. The date was
set for Thursday afternoon and after Miss
Clark secured the articles, Inspector Knox
came along and she was arrested. She
readily gave in that she had lost the bet
Miss Clark said that beyond the fact that
she wished to win the wager, there was
absolutely no reason why she should take
the things. She had money enough to buy
what she needed. and offered to return the
articles she had taken.
She spent last night in the Tombs, and
this morning a fine OF $40 was impo-ed,
and her friend with whom she made the
wager paid it.

Secretary Root, and Capt. Robley D. Ev-

A movement will probably be started, a
prominent naval officer said today, to have
placed in the Congressional Library the
famous collection of works on electrical
science. which has just been donated by
three New York gentlemen to the Naval
Academy Library at Annapolis.
The collection is said to be the finest of
Its kind in existence, and officers on duty
both at the Navy Department and at the
navy yard. are anxious that the collection
be brought to Washington and placed in
the Congressional Library, where 1t could
be consulted by larger number who
would benefit by its use than would be
the case If it were left in its proposed
quarters at the Naval Academy.
The collection is made up of /. 400 vol
umes, many of which were printed as
early af the fifteenth century.
The date of publication of the remainder
was in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and
eighteenth centuries. The collection con-
tains about every original treatise relating
to electrical science ever published. Fiji
teen years was spent in gathering the col
lection together. Its value Is very great.
and the donors have repeatedly refused
very tempting offers for it. The gift was
presented to the Naval Academy by Park
Benjamin, Robert NJ. Thompson. and Ed
ward ]. Berwind, all of whom are grad
yates Of the Naval Academy. and who some
years after graduation left the naval serv-
ice and began a career in private life. In
the letter to Secretary Long offering the
books the gentlemen stated that the gift
was made in recognition of the value of the
Naval Academy training to them. and as
memorial of their classes.
So old are some OF the volumes that it
would be impossible to replace them should
they become damaged or lost, and Secre-
tary Long has thought it advisable to ship
the collection to Annapolis in war vessel.
as it is feared that the books may be dam
aged il sent by rail-
The books are packed in fifteen large
boxes and the greatest care Will be OBJ
served in handling them. Owing to the
extensive repairs that are being made to
the library and other buildings at Annap-
oils, it may be year or more before the
books can safely be placed on the shelves,
and be available for use.
1t is argued by the naval officers here
who are interested in having the books
brought to Washington and placed in the
Congressional Library, that in the event of
a favorable decision Of the Secretary of the
Navy u DEIuS tHt SoiitCtIOH AtIe, IL VIII
not only have safe quarters, but will be
available for use Immediately.
A number of officers who expressed
opinions in regard to the matter to a
Times reported today, stated that while
they greatly appreciated the gift Of the
New York gentlemen, they thought the
Congressional Library a far better reposi-
tory than the library building at Annapo-
lis, and that the givers would consent to
the removal Of the books to Washington,
if they were persuaded that such plan
is for the best interests of everyone. 1t is
thought that the attention of Secretary
Long will be brought 10 the matter within
the next few days.
