this curious system Of banking obtains
live near Kaffraria, in the south Of the

Down south from their country to trade
in the several villages and towns IN
large numbers and then return to KAT
'raria. From those who trade Of their
own number they select one, who for
the occasion is to be their banker. He
Is converted into a bank Of deposit by
putting all the money Of those whose
tanker he is into a bag, and then they
ally forth to the stores to buy what

purchased by any of those who are in

from this deposit money bag, counted
several times and then paid to the
seller of the article, after which all the
bank depositors cry out to the banker

The perature at Cane Nome.

Such records of the temperature as
were kept at Cape Nome last winter
show rather more than the ordinary
disagreement among thermometers.
According to one of the most reliable
records the coolest day in the district
last year was Nov. 20, when the tenn
perature fell to Sc degrees below zero.
The majority of taose who attempted
to keep a record are of the opinion
that the most extreme temperature
was between so and 60 degrees, though
one observer states that he expert
enced weather as severe as SO degrees.
The climate is very moist, and the eff
feet of the low temperature is proper

New German Building Material.

Under the name of Geramo, a new
building material, composed princi-
pally OF glass, and manufactured at
Penzig, in Silesia, has been placed on
the German market. AS far as known
this material is made from powdered
glass waste, which is hardened by a
special devitrifying process and COM
bined by means of strong pressure:
In this way the transparency, brittle
ness and fragility of the glass are de-
stroyed, but other prominent proper
ties-extraordinary hardness, stabili-
ty against exposure to the weather,
non-conduction of heat, non-infiamma-
bility, insensibility to Oil, grease,
acids, etc.-are retained in this new
material. The price of keramo is
about $3.50 per square yard, and SC far

this product have been most success

Buildings Upon Which the Tendency
Is to Expend Millions.
The cornerstone Of a 81, 200, 900 state
capitol for Arkansas was laid recently
1t Little Rock. A few days ago a con-
:ract was given out at Jackson, Miss,
or building there q new state capltol
It a total cost of nearly $1,000, 600. The
present capitol and grounds at jack
ION are Of the estimated value of S4O0,-
700, and the Little Rock capitol and
ground Of the value Of only $3.50 $1,000.
Many Of the older settled states have
.apitols which were built many years
ago and were designed to meet condi-
lions which nearly every state has
since outgrown. The capitol OF Alaba-
ma, at Montgomery, represents an In
vestment Of only $4,000, that Of Louis
lana, at Baton Rouge, $26o,00O, the
grounds being included in this est1-
mate; that of Kentucky, at Frankfort,
the scene Of the Goebel shooting, $780,
300, grounds included, and that OF
Maryland, at Annapolis, $500, O00.
There has been a general tendency to
replace the old buildings by new and
more costly structures, as is being
done in Arkansas and Mississippi.
Thus in Sacramento, the capital OF
California, the new building and
grounds represent a total expenditure
Of $4,000, 900. Austin, Tex, has a S.
500, 900 capitol. Pennsylvania has at
Harrisburg a $500, 900 capitol. The
little state of Rhode Island has at
Providence a So, 00o. 600 capital, ana the
Iowa state capitol, at Des aoines,
represents a total investment Of 3d.
500, 900. The Illinois capitol, at Spring
field, represents a total investment OF
"a, SOC, 900, and the Nebraska capitol.
at Lincoln, represents a cost Of $780,
900. The Wisconsin capitol, in the
small town Of Madison, represents an
investment of $1,000, 900, and Michigan
has at Lansing a $1,000, 900 capitol.
In the smaller cities of the country
there are to be found usually the most

A Modern Motor Car.

Recently a motor carriage has been
introduced in France which combines
many novel features. 1t is normally
propelled solely by an oil engine, but
on billy ground is helped by an cleo
trio motor. The oil engines works at
constant speed, and when the vehicle
does not absorb all the engine power
the excess drives the motor as a dy-
namo and charges the accumulators.
Then the accumulators are used only
occasionally, and they are kept fully
charged. The engine is directly con-
nected to the dynamo motor, which is
in turn used to start the engine. The
changes in speed are effected mechan-

The ragnan blew a mighty blast and
then entered to see IL there were any
old clothes for sale. After he had pur-
chased S. worth of goods for so cents,
he went to the front and there let out
q yell that turned the lady of the housa
deathly pale and caused the hired girl
to fall down the cellar stairs. Explain
alton came later. The perambulatins
merchant Is troubled with cold feet.
To counterfeit this affection he used an
old iron kettle for a stove with paving
blocks for fuel. He kept 1t in the front
end of his wagon. and when he zane
out his whole cargo was afire. After
the yell he made a flying leap into the
riekety wagon, thrashed the detected
looking horse into a semblance Of ami
nation, and went up the street creating
a bigger sensation than Ben Hur's
chariot race. Shouting boys and

that the mar who was thrashing his
horse, shouting in a foreign tongue,
who fell through a broken seat as hs
made the corner, his head and heels
being all of him in sight, was crazy.
But he was not. His presence Of mind
