PRESIDENT SHAFFER, of the
Amalgamated steel association,
was mn ardent supporter Of vii.
liam Prosperity one year ago. He
did not believe in taking the labor
question into politics. He then
thought unionism alone would
solve the labor problem. One or
two unsuccessful strikes may have
the same effect upon Mr.. Shaffer

LOST TREASURE FOUND.
Money Sent to General BurgOyDe

Ch1mpIain.

Ten thousand English sovereigns,
after lying for nearly a century and a
quarter in an old hulk at the bottom
Of East bay, Lake Champlain, have
been recovered and are now deposited
in the Allen national bank in Fair
haven, says dispatch TO the Chicago
Inter Ocean. For many years there
had been tradition in this part OF
the state that at the bottom Of East
bay, near Carvers falls, was "A sunken
boat containing a large amount Of
English gold, with which it was intend
ed TO pay off the troops Of Gen. Bur
goyne in l777.
The gold was shipped from Quebec
in a small sloop, with crew and guard
of ten men, the expedition being I'M
der the command Of one Capt. John
son. IT was intended 10 deliver the
money to BurgOyne, as his men were
almost in a state Of mutiny because
they had not been paid. The vessel
was attacked by Americans, scuttled,
and the crew killed.
a civil engineer, who drew the plans
and superintended the construction of
the big dam at Carvcr's falls for an
electric power station, concluded that

about 80 men, he changed the course
Of the stream, and then with pick and

GREAT BETS IN HISTORY.
Some of the Largest WaGers of Which
There Is Any Existing
Record.

Lord George Bentinck, in 1913, in bet
ting on his horse Gaper, for the Derby
stood to win G15O,O00 ($720,O0O), but
saved himself upon Cornerstone, and
netted e 10000 (S144O00), says the New
York Herald.
Another time bet of 100000 ($432,-
O00) against 100000 ($144OdO) was
booked between old Lord Glasgow and
Lord George Bentinck.
The marquis Of Hastings bet and lost
e103,OO0 (S4940O0) on the Hermit's
Derby.
Bell & Co., Of Wall street, in August,
1900, had S25O,O0O placed in their hands
to bet on President McKinley's reelec-
ton, at odds Of 2H to l. Their offer
was absorbed in fractions
Lord Dudley bet $4,000 to $4,000 on
Peter in race at Ascot with a book
maker named Morris. Peter was
beaten.
A syndicate headed by a man named
Lambert won 100000 on Don Juan in

PHONOGRAPH WITH PICTURES
VIII Undoubtedly some Day
he Perfected,

Long ago Mr.. Edison suggested
that il would he practicable to util-
lie the photograph in connection
with pictures, and two or three ideas
of this kind have been patented re-
Gently. One contrivance, originated
by a Jerseyman. is nickel-in-the-
slot machine, which is so arranged
that the record cylinder. as it moves
along, disengages series of photo
graphs. These drop into view one
after another, while the instrument
talks off an entertaining description
of them.
Though the notion, so far as its
practical application is concerned, is
as yet in its infancy, there is no
doubt that before long machines for
combining the motion-picture with
the talking voice will be placed on
the market. One will then have the
advantage of listening and seeing al:
the same time, which will be very
striking and interesting. The per-
Torrance of skirt-dancer, as
watched in moving photogra phs, will
be accompanied by suitable music,
and similarly with other forms of en-
tertainment.
IL seems altogether probable that.

PREACHERS QUEER BANNER.
The Good Pastor Was Unconscious Of

The dignity of a certain Sunday
school picnic was demoralized the

was arranged that the majority
of the scholars should go to the
grove on trolley car, and that the
pastor of the flock. several teachers

This suggestion was followed out,
and the procession started auspi-
ciousiy. The wagon was a trfle in
front, and as the trolley car passed
ii the pupils of the Sunday school
saw what made them fear to look
again. The pastor was sitting on the
seat beside the driver, his broad
brimmed hat on his knee. his head
on the support of gaudy yellow
umbrella that shaded the seat, and
on the umbrella was the inscriptions:

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TALK.
Latest Observation-Disclosures invented IL.
England Which Operates on an
Entirely New Principle.

The physical properties of sound
embrace wide field, and though
one might suppose that the possible
varieties of talldng-machines had
been pretty well exhausted, such
does not appear to be the case. \
new one has appeared in England
which is based Oh a principle alto
gether novel, depending upon photog-
raphy for its effects, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
The contrivance in question util-
ICES a fame, lighted at the mouth of
a pipe which is expanded below into
a sort # box. On one side of the box
is a diaphragm, against which a per-
son talks. The vibrations of the
diaphragm thus produced cause the
flame, as one might expect, to jump
up and down.
Now. while the talking goes On, the
Jumping fame is photographed on
moving film, the result being a band
of varying intensity. To reproduce
jected through this band upon
selenium cell which is included in
circuit with battery and tele-
phone.
The electrical corductiyity of the
selenium is varied by light, and the
result of the passing of the beam is
to cause variations in the current Of
the telephone circuit. Any varia-
tons in air-waves make sound, and
thus the original voice OF the speak
err is accurately reproduced.
Sound records made in this way
can be multiplied indefinitely by the
use Of photography.
