A conference was held IN this city to-day,
st which the leading operators of taa
State were present. and also the executive
officers Of the National Brotherhood of

is the one now paid in Illinois by the
operators of that State, and is higher than
that paid in Indiana. The operators were
willing to pay the present scale in Indiana

operators at to-nights conference an

the officials of the different mining dis
tricts declaring strike.
The adoption or the Illinois scale IN IN

The act of March II strengthened the
guarantee for the maintenance of the gold
standard, both in providing for the setting
apart of reserve fund and in adding one
half 10 the 800 00O. 900 which, in the practice
of the department, was formerly main
tanned without specific statutory require
ment. The ratio of the reserve TO the fixed
volume of United States notes was raised
from 2Ss5 to 1917 per cent. while the ratio
of. the new reserve TO the sum of both
classes of legal tender notes was original
ly only "a per cent, the gradual retirement
of the $50, 900 of treasury notes outstand-
ing at the passage OF the act will reduce
the demands on the fund TO that extent.
The inflow of gold in consequence OF ma
terial conditions, prominent among which
is a favorable trade balance averaging
1868, 2SS, 2O9 in the last three years, will also
cooperate with the statute.
PAPER CURRENCY.
The amount of paper currency stamped
with the seal of the department and pre-
pared for issue during the year ended with
September, 1900. was $50. 900. against
$50, $4,000 in the year preceding. The re-
demptions of worn material were SSOS 9l9, s2i
in the later period, and $255. 0Z7 $50 in tho
earlier. The increasing demand for notes
of small denominations has been so heavy,
and so fully met by the department, that
taking into account the gold coin, only
s426, 045.022 of the estimated total circulation
of s.. 1888, on Oct. ], was in denomina-
tons larger than $40.
The operations of the treasury and its
branches are conducted in increasing ratio
in gold, the receipts of the fiscal year in
that coin having increased s64l. OSO0Ol, and
the disbursements $3.50. ga, lbs. over 1899.
There is an increase in the circulation OF
standard silver dollars in the autumn OF
each year, followed by their return 10 the
treasury a few months later. This is an
incident to the movement of the crops and
TO the free delivery by the treasury of such
coins. The amount in circulation Nov.
was $73,479, 1859.

SIN ALL PIPES
and synd Tobacco satisfy tho Desires
of Japanese Smokers.

Washington Star: you may have
noticed that the japanese who visit
America are very moderate smokers, +"
said prominent Japanese now travel
Ing in the United States. s"Those of my
eountrymen who indulge in the weed
mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably
the smallest pipes filled with the mild
est tobacco obtainable. Of course
there are Japanese who. like some
Americans, have such a craving for to-
baeco that nothing less than the
strongest cigar or the largest pipe will
satisfy them. But such smokers are
exceptionally few among the Japanese.
AS rule, my countrymen, while at
nome and abroad, are satisfied with
snort smokes, such as cigarette or
tiny pipe affords. The Japanese are
moderate smokers, not so much be-
cause they are snail people. but for
fhe reason that up to within recent
years but very little tobacco came into
Japan and the tariff on it was very
hlgh. Being poor bat frugal race,
The masses purchased only Iirited
quantities of the weed, which, as mat
Ter Of economy, they have for genera
lions been taught to smoke in only the
tiniest OF pipes. These pipes, the most
popular Of which hold about as much
tobacco as would fill an ordinary thin
bic, are the survival of the days when
money was scarce, tobacco dear and
the tariff high. In another generation
or two, when Japan shall have taken
her place among the wealthy nations
of the world my countrymen will no
doubt smoke large quantities of tobae-
co, and then the small pipes will be
abandoned for big ones, such as Eng
ishmen and Americans now smoke

GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Austrian Finds Subtle Matter which
He Calls "EIectroid."

He Calls "Electroid."
Francis Rychnowski, mechanical
engineer of Lemberg, Austria, has dis
covered strange and very subtle
matter, which he called "electroid" be-
cause of a certain affinity with cleo
tricity Eleetroid, produced by a rpe-
clal apparatus built by the inventor,
IS obtained by the dissolution of GER
tain matters under the influence of
the electric current. 1t makes noise,
and at the same time refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery induced Mr.. Ryehnow-
ski to make machine capable of re-
freshing the air to such a degree that
those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case.
Eleetroid is a very subtle matter, but
it seems to be q fluid, and it can be
gathered and preserved. While falling
on "a plate it reflects in a shape of
shining sheayes. TIE commission ap.
pointed by the Austrian government
to investigate this discovery reported

plants grow rapidly and the buds os
flowers uncIose while one is looking at
them. Electroid annlhilates microbes
and thus preserves organic matter.
These are physiological influences of
eiectroid Among mechanical phe-
nomena the commission reported that
the influence of electroid is not
stopped even by brick wall and
glass; that it attracts solid bodies and
makes them shine like moonlight-it
makes them move and attract othei
bodies; finally, that it acts on photo
graphic plates and produces sharp and
distinct lines, such as were formerly
possible only with a very powerful
lens.S

An old Parisisa Landmark.

One of the old Partisan landmarks
which will soon be leyeled TO the
ground is the historic mansion once
occupied by Queen Hortense. Queen
Hortense was so unhappy in her mar
sage to Louis Bonaparte that she
spent but little of her time in the royal
palace at the capital in Holland. She
resided chiefly in Paris, at No.
II, in the Rue La Fitte, where
she occupied the mansion which
has since been redolent with
the memories of her life. Or re-
cent years it Las been the residence
of the Turkish ambassador, but every
body knows it as the old home of
Queen Hortense. Here the royal youth
who subsequently became Napoleon III
of France spent much of his early life
The front of the mansion has never
been considered specially beautiful, but
on the interior there are still many
traces of the glory which once belonged
to the mansion in former days. The
old building, with the grounds adja-
cent. will be destroyed to make room
for another street which is now being
opened IN the French capital.

Do Certain Animals When Their Mouths
Are Hafd ane,

Are Held Open.
Animals Of the horse kind can only
breathe through the mouth with great
difficulty and effort, SO that if their
nose is DISTRACTED they tend to suffo-
cate. Even their vocal sounds are
uttered through the nose as rule, but
when they do use the mouth the cry
is made with obvious effort. and is
generally of a strident character. The
horses neigh is made by respiratory
efforts through the nose, and is easy
and spontaneous in character; but the
scream it utters when in mortal pain
is made through the mouth, and is
labored and unnatural. The donkey
makes a pleasant hising noise through
the nose when pleased, but its bray
through the mouth is painful and
labored. Large, open nostrils form an
important feature in thoroughbred
horse, for from its inability to breathe
through the mouth It is dependent on
its nose for its wind when going at
great speed. Much lower in the scale
of life we find the frog. which suffo-

The Prog ress of siber,a.

The Russian government is, says
Engineering, with great energy and
foresight, pursuing its work IN various
directions, for the purpose of assist
ing the progress of Siberia. The fact
that Siberia will in all probability
cease to be the dreaded home of Grim
mails is only one link in this chain
only one of many efforts for introduce
ing European culture into the vast
possessions of the czar in Northern
and C4.ntral Asia. Siberia has hitherto
known nothing, or in any case very
little. of customs and tariffs, and goods
from all parts of the world have been
imported into Siberia free of duty.
This will now be altered, and Siberia
will henceforward have its closely
guarded tariff frontier, both along the
coasts of the Pacific ocean and on the
inland frontier. Siberia will have its
own customs department.; the finance
