An aged man entered JOhnstOwr

An aged man entered Johnstown
last Thursday, and, seeking the ex-
ecutor of an estate, said he wished to
pay a debt of SIS for leather which
he had bought fifty five years ago.
The debtor offered twice the amount
of the original claim, which was ac-
ceptcd. At simple interest the ac-
cumulation on the SIS since 1915
would have amounted to S59.4O,
assuming rate of 6 per ccntum.

Observation-Disclosures

The exact truth in regard to the as
sassination of Elizabeth, empress of
Austria, is likely to be known in a
short time, some remarkable clews
having just been discovered ir thcAr-
gentine republic. When Luccheni, the
Italian anarchist, stabbed the unfor-
tunate lady to death, every possible at
tempt was made by the Swiss and
Austrian authorities to ascertain
whether he had any accomplices in the
act But all their labor in this direc-
ton proved fruitless until few days
ago, when an unexpected event
brought to light certain documents
which seem to indicate pretty clearly
that the removal" of the empress was
the result Of a widespread plot.
Very soon after the tragic event had
occurred two men, Pietro Riccardi and
f. Bloise, Joined the Villa colony,
which was established some years ago
in the province of Santa Fee, in the Ar
gentine Republic, and without delay
started in business as merchants un-
der the name of Francisco Bloise q
Co. AS they had several thousand dol
lars they were enabled to purchase
large supply of goods, and, being ener-
getc men, they soon became well
known, not only in Villa, but also in
the adjacent town of San Francisco.
From the very first. however, they
were extremely retcent about them
selves. They never said word about
their past, and no one could learn
from what country they had come.
Gradually. however, some curious
facts were learned about them. One
was that European letters intended for
them were not addressed to them di-
rect. but to other persons in the Ar
gsntine Republic, who duly forwarded
them under suitable cover: another
was that few days after the murder
OF the empress they had left Europe
on ship which sailed from Marseilles,
and third was that one Of them had
assumed the name Of Bloiss and had

dropped his real name, which was ap-
parently Cosimo Dellerba. There was
much talk among the people of the
colony when these discoveries were
made, and the gossip finally came to
the ears OF correspondent OF the
Journal, who resided in San Francisco.
He at once determined to Investigate
the matter. but before he had made
much progress the firm OF Francisco
Bloise & Co. went out of existence in
tragic manner.
Rlcardi and Bloise had prospered
greatly through their business tran

According to careful estimates made
by the leading marine architects in
New York city, the vast sum of $685.
$4,000 is invested in steam yachts by
citizens of the United States.
Steam yachting Is necessarily a mil
honalre's pastime, a luxury which none
out the very wealthy may enjoy. Moth
Ing proclaims more emphatically that
THIS is land Of millionaires and null
tl-m1llionaires than the fact that in
round numbers $50 steam yachts are
owned by American citizens. Not only
are more steam yachts owned by Amer
leans than by citizens of any other
country, but American steam yachts
exceed all others in luxuriousness. On

while the cost Of SO others, less valu-
able, swells the total invested in this
luxury to the sum above stated.
This sum just about equals the total
amount of pensions paid by the gov
eminent last year in Maine, Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Wisconsin
and the Pacific States. the aggregate
disbursements for all of these states

eight battleships. each costing az much
as the battleship Maine, with enough
left over to construct frst-ciass gun

The sums of money that our wealthy
citizens annually devote to yachting
are almost incomprehensible. Roughly
speaking the actual cost of running
steam yacht each season OF from three
to five months is about one-sixth OF the
original cost of the boat. Howard

much. If not more OF fully a score OF
the 40 most magnificent American
yachts, it may be said that each costs
it's owner $50, 900 or more each season
1t is estimated that the cost Of main
tanning large yacht is about $1,000
for each member of the crew. counting
coal, provisions, repairs. etc. But the
81 ,00S per man does not take into &C
count the owners princely entertain
ments on board. his champagne bills
and other forms OF extravaganza, and
it is often the case that entertainments
on yachts are more lavish than on land.
AS determined by careful estimates,
the annual cost of maintaining Amer
ica's fleet of 44O odd steam yachts is
81 S25 900. a sum which exceeds the
total United States government, state
and municipal appropriations to all OF
the colleges and universities In the
country by more than 100000.

Making Superphosph te.

1t is not difficult matter. but it is
an exceedingly dangerous one to make
superphosphate of lime from bones.
This is on account of the extremely
acrid and burning nature of the sui
phuric acid used in the process, a sin
gle drop of which splashed into the
eye will destroy the sight utterly. 1t
is not advisable for other reasons. It
is more costly than to buy the fertii-
izer already made. 1t will be far bet
ter to use the bones in this way. Put
them in pit in the ground. mix them
with as much fresh burned lime as
will cover them as evenly as possible
then pour on water to slake the lime
soft. The lime will in a few weeks
soften the bones so they may be
crushed easily.
