Interesting of these was submitted by a
man who in years previous had occupied
a seat in the United States senate. His
ink rcscmbled hundreds OF other samples
except for sediment that collected in
the bottle after standing awhile. On
Analysing this ink found the sediment
to be nothing more or less than nulver-
lied glass. AS you may recall all inks
were tested in the Washington city post
Office, and this man had gone to the can
ceiling clerk who used the sample inks
and endenvorcd to bride him to give the
stamp turn or twist each time eau
collation. was made. hoping thereby to
have the fine particles Of glass ground
into the paper, insuring an indelible mark
or nearly so. But the clerk was not to be
bribed and in turn reported the case to
the department.
Not Mt all daunted at this disclosure
this snme ex-senator took sample of his
own ink and made number OF cancella-
tons in the manner he described To
further insure the staying qualities Of
these marks he baked the several letters
for two hours in the hopes of setting the
ink. He then submitted those samples
to the department, Ginning they fulfilled
all requirements. The remarkable part
of it all, however, was that after all the
grinding and all the baking his cancella-
lions washed out, leaving no trace of ink
whatever. We did not know for years
that his own samples had been baked,
the story having been given out by an
old friend in whom he had confided at
the time. This just shows, however. to
what straits some people will so in the
hope Of defrauding Uncle Sam. In spite
of fraudulent means and others no abso-
lutely indelible ink has yet been found
and probably never will be. Washing

THE MAKING OF COKE.
How 1t Is ProdEccd and the Uses to
Wilton II Ii Put

II am often asked" said a Wilkes
barre man Mt the Fifth Avenue hotel,
what coke consists of and to what uses
it is put. Coke is coal with the volatile
matter Burned OF, what is left being al
most wholly fixed carbon. To reduce coal
to coke the coal is put into specially CON
structsd ovens and allowed to burn for
about 3G hours. Only sufficient air is nd
mitted to the oven to keep the FIRE going,
and this air is only allowed to pass over
tie surface Of the coal. At the end of :S6
hours the volatile matter in the coal will
have becr consumed and the residuum is
called coke. 1t is gray in color and is
punctured with airholes. Coke is fire..
Quently manufactured MS n hyproduct.
and great saving is thus Effected. This
Is especially so in the manufacture of gas.
tile matter is sufficient for the purposes
needed
Coke was originally discovered and
brought into Use in the manufacture of
iron. To Manufacture iron what is known
as a welding heat must be obtained.
When you go into blacksmith's shop.
you will notice that the blacksmith in
heating the iron upon which he is at
work plungcs it into the deep. red bed of
coals. through which the artificial blast
produced by the bellows rushes. He gets
his welding heat in this lower, deeper coli
ored fame. Hecould not obtain It in the
flame above. When welding heat was
needed originally in The manufacture OF
iron, charcoal was used.
But charcoal while effective, was very
expensive and made iron costly and more
or less limited in its use. Consequently,
when anthracite, with its 80 per cent oe
carbon and but 5 per cent of volatile mat
ter, was discovered iron manufacturers
eagerly substituted it for charcoal, there
by reducing the cost of producing iron
and propo1ionately increasing it, use.
But anthracite, while cheaper than char
coal. had mighty drawback. 1t was not
porous. and il vas difficult to force q
blast though it.
In the manufacture of iron wind is a
vital necessity. Tons and tons OF wind
in the form of a blast are consumed for
each and every ton of iron manufacture
ed. The density OF anthracite made 4
difficult to force the blast through and IN
5ierposed serious and detrimental OBJ
stacle to its use. Then some one discov-
cred coke, which answered all require
Inents. 1t was cheap. 1t gave welding
heat. And best of ALL being porous. it
gave free ingrcss md cgress to the vital
" necessary blast. Some coal is Of so
poor character that you cannot get q
welding heat from it. try as you may.
For example, at the blacksmith shops in
the coal mines in Colorado they have to
use coal brought from eastern mines to
get welding heat. it being utterly linz
possible to get 1t from the Colorado COAL

There was trifling ere in west side

deal of excitement and incidentally gave
fat man lesson in courtesy. The FIRE
started in the apartments whore the man
and his mother lived. The lnsn sfA.ted
about the time the ere did aat got down
four fights OF stairs to the street before
his mother knew what was up. When she
discovered the fire. she promptly tainted.
Meanwhile the fat man stood in the
street yelling. Save my mother! Saye
my mother!' A messenger boy who was
passing stopped, saw the smoke, ran up
the stairs, aroused the woman and
brought her out in safety. The neighbe s
cheered and the fat man looked uncom-
Portable.
Here, boy" he whispered. Here's a
quarter for you"
The boy face expressed his disgust.
'Aw. save it, he said, 'and buy your
self some nerve food.
The crowd laughed. the fat man blush

street He didn't know that he had been
hero, and the fat man felt himself a

MAY Terminate FATALLY
Michael Angrisino Stabbed by Law
renee Pinathar at a Bunker Hill
Christening Last Evening.

Another Sunday stabbng affray with
Italians as participants was, last night.
added to the long list which have oc-
CURED in that part of Drnmore popu-
larly known as Bunker Hill. The
late hour was lying in a very danger
Gus condition as the result Of a knife
wound inflicted by Lawrence Pima
thar, a 16-year-old Italian boy.
There was christening yesterday at
ternoon at the home of Dominick An
grisoni. and Michael Angrisoni and
young Pnathar attended. Beer and
wine flowed fast and freely and as
night drew on a number of the men.
including the two last mentioned, be-
came intoxicated.
Shortly after s o'clock they left the
place together and that was the last
seen of either of them until Angrisoni
was found at $50 o'clock lying on the
street in front of his home with a
deep knife wound in his left breast.
Just above the heart. He was almost
unconscious and was carried into the
house. and DR.. A. w. Smith, OF North
Washington avenue. was summoned.
Angrisoni was extremely weak and
all he could say when asked who
stabbed him was to repeat the name
of Lawrence Pinathar. DR.. Smith.
when he arrived. was unable to de-
tcrmine the extent of the mans in
juries or account of his weak condi-
ton. bu. expressed the fear that he
was bleeding internally. After mid
night Angrisoni rallied slightly. He
is 20 years old and has a wife and
three children.
The cause of the crime is mystery.
as those who seen Angrisoni and the
Pinathar boy at the christening aver
that both seemed to be on the best Of
terms. AS far as can be learned no one
saw the stabhing. A warrant for
young Pinathar's arrest on the charge
of stabbing with intent TO kill was se-
cured shortly after midnight from
Squire Cooney. and Chief Healey and
Officer McGrail went to arrest the ac-
cused lad. who they believed to be
in his fathers house. which was sur
rounded by several other officers
