A special from Crisheld, Md. tells
of modern Ajax OF that nsighborhood
who, during rec,nt severe storm,
defed the lightning by prsnoing about
an open field with q piece Of lightning
rod attached to his head. Unlike his
ancient prototype, however,, he did not
prove immune, and bolt that shattered
a neighboring oak also laid him lev.
He will recover, but it is not likely
that he will again go hunting for the
lightning with a cond uctor attached to
his head.

An Ancient 4.GreenbaeI,.y


In recent, issue of the Bankers
Magazine was printed fac simIle OF a
Chinese treasury note of the year 1867,
probably the Oldest piece of paper
money 10 existence. This note was
found last January, along with other
valuables, in bronze statue of Bud
dha which stood in temple within
the Enclosure OF the summer palace of
the Dowager Empress of China.
; Italian Soldiers engaged ia looting
broke hole in the base of the figure,
and the paper money tumbled out along
with gold, silver and brass coin1,
lentils, rice, rolls Of prayers, sc. The
note was issued, according to the print
ing on it, "by the Board Of Revenue Of
the Emperor Hung WI 10 the year
1867, - and its value is stated to be
$3.50 taels' tabout s167). 1t professed
to be 'redeemable in silver bullion"
Besides being the oldest known piece
of paper money this treasury note. the
Baltimore Sun holds, makes It clear
that Gutenberg was not the first user OF
movable type. The note was clearly
printed with movable type at date,
over a hundred years before Gutenberg
began to experiment. The German
printer was born in l410, long after the
use of movable type In China. 1t Is
asserted in fact that the Chinese EN-
ployed movable type as early az the
eleventh century. The British Museum
has Korean book OF 1887. Paper
money in Uhina dates back to l40 B.
o., or earlier. According To Klaproth
the earlier bills were made of white
stag skin aud were a foot square.

The present demand for horses, and
the ample indications that trolleys,
bicycles and automobiles, combined,
cannot relegate the horse to the past, is
due. the Philadelphia Times believes,
to the fact that people have found
that neither the trolley, the bicycle nor
the automobile yield those pleasures
which come from driving. There Is o
Joy in handling the reins which is
never known to the man WIN simply
moves the lever. There is an intelli-
genue in the animal which can never
exist in machinery, however perfect,
and there is reliability, about the
horse which is unknown to the motor
yehicle.''

Cincinnati. August 1s.-It Is stated here that the suit brought in Baltimore yes- terday by Ben W.

Cross Is a son-in-law of Albright, and there Is a fight between Albright and Charles F. Cochran the promoter of the scheme by which the American Hardwood Company with other lumber companies was merged into the Manor company.
 MT. Cross was seen here tonight and his statements simply corroborate the allegations in the Associated Press 1fs- patches from Baltimore last night.

 c. F. Cochran now has charge of the office of the American Hardwood Com pany and Of the yards at Knoxville, Nashville and elsewhere, and 1t Is con ceded, at least until yesterday, that he had the best of 1t in his controversy with Albright, Cross and others.

When c. F. Cochran. as re- ceiver, succeeded Albright in charge here and examined the books, the former made the affidavits on which the latter was ar rested.

 Chief Surgeon Harvard announced to- day that the experiments in the investi- gatfon of the propagation of yellow fever, so far as these involved the mosquito test, will be discontinued. This decision was taken because of one of the non- immunes who was recently bitten by an infected mosquito and died of yellow fever today The man was a Spaniard, who desired to become an immune. and there- fore allowed himself to be bitten by an infected mosquito. Another man who was bitten is also suffering from very bad case. Both were bitten by insects which had been set apart for the experiments of Dr. Caldas, the Brazilian expert, who has been arranging to demonstrate the alleged efficiency of a serum as a pre- ventive against yellow fever. es
 According to Major Harvard. the cases due to mosquito infection prior to the latest two were light; but the matter has assumed a more dangerous form than the first experiments led the yellow fever commission to expect. The experiments Of Dr. caldas have not been begun.

PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS.
Both Civil and Military Officials Are
 Gratified With Pronress.

Manila, August 1s.-Both the civil and military officials are gratified at the pro- gress now being made by the Philippine commission. Everywhere throughout the north Of the island the commissioners find things ready for civil government and General Chaffee has received none but satisfactory news. from Batangas and Mindoro. advices from those districts telling uniformly of captures or surrend- CTS. Many rifles have recently been ob- tained and large quantities of supplies secured. Malvar and his principal officers are being closely pressed.
 Representative Julius Kahn of Ca1ifor- mia, who Is in Manila, says the great needs of the Philippines are a fast line of steamers to carry the mails and to keep the people in touch with current events. electric cars and the removal of Nipa houses from Manila, these to be re- placd by villas.
 MT. Kahn conversed with many educat- ed natives, and got the impression that they were by no means all sufficiently versed in popular government to manage the affairs of the archipelago.
 Quartermaster General Ludington has been considering the possibilities of ob- taining coal in the Philippines at a cost below the Japanese figures. In the opin- ion of those qualified to judge however. the coal available in the archipelago Is inferior. mad the cost of transporting 1t to the coast where transports could load it, taking into account the present ex- orbitant price of everything, labor includ- ed would bring the total outlay probably above the Japanese figures
 The government officers are finding 1t difficult to retain the services of the bst stenographers as private firms offer much higher compensation.
 Governor Taft has wired general Chaf- fee, asking permission to appoint Capt. H. c. Bowen of the Fifth United States Infantry, to be governor of the prov ince of Abra, owing to the local jeal- ousies, which render local appointment difficult.
