these into the creeks and bitches and
from these they have been swept into

fifty miles down rivers, and particles
are found in the Susquehanna river

Susquehanna, under favorable circum-

out as much as five tons day to a

PaSline OF the Bicycle.

The decadence of the bicycle Is
clearly shown by the reports of the
treasury department. Four years ago,
when all the world was on wheels, this
country exported to the rest of the
world bicycles and parts of them to be
made up abroad valued at sl,s9S,0l2.
The next year the value of wheels
sent abroad was s7,005 1923. This was
the highest point reached during the
craze. In 1888 the exports fell to So
SAG. .529. in 1899 to s5,753, $50, and in
1900 to 50 ,55l OPS. The steadily drop
ping figures indicate the gradual dis
use Of the wheel abroad as well as in
this country. But 1t will not disap-
pear altogether. The novelty Of the
wheel is simply gone, and from fad
it has become an article of use. In
stead of being ridden merely as di-
version, it will be employed by those
who wish to get to business in quick
and economical way.

MINNESOTA JUDGE ARRESTED.
He Was Accused OF being a Russian
Spy in Japan and Hailed
late Ceart.

In a conversation the other day
with some friends in Minneapolis,
Judge Canty, late associate chief JUS
tice of Minnesota, said he remembered
with anything but pleasure an expert
ence he had in the quaint little
Japanese city of Modje, when he was
on his way to China few months
ago. He was suspected by the milf
tary authorities of being Russian
spy and subjected to great annoy
ance and humiliation, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. r
His account of the affair was that
he was a passenger on steamer
which anchored short distance from
Node bay. Having unlimited Curi-
osity and considerable time, he went
ashore and found much to interest
him. He became enthusiastic, and de-
termined to see all that could be seen.
Finally he wandered into parklike
place and against the august personr
age of representative Of the mikado,
a military officer OF high degree.
Without offering any explanation
the oificer unceremoniously hustled
the judge off to the military court
and charged him with being in the
employ Of the Russian government.
The news spread and the courtroom
soon filed with natives. Further
more, mob outside suggested in or
der fo exnedifA matters that the
prisoner be executed first and tried
afterward.
The judge was arraigned and plead
ed not guilty, He asked for a change
Of venue to the captain of the steam
er, where he could prove that he was
an American. The motion was de-
MED, but after walking him over the
territory he had traversed during the
day at II o'clock at night they al
lowed him to depart, hungry, mad and
cold

covered with memorial stone. The
stone Is a rough, weather beaten bowl
der Of granite, Weighing about seven
tons, from the mountain side Of SLEEVE
na-Largie, where it rested at height
Of 600 feet. Upon the upper surface Of
the bowlder is incised an Irish cross,
faithfully reproduced from one cut on
an equally rough, unhewn stone found
on theislandof Inisclotbran, one Of the
islands of Lough Rec, where st. Diar-
mid founded his famous ecclesiastical
settlement in the middle of the sixth
century. Under the cross the name
"Patric" is cut in Irish characters
copied from the earliest known Celtic
manuscripts. The simple treatment is
considered to be the nearest approach
to the form OF monument which would
have been constructed about the year
400, the supposed date Of the saints
