Einancier of Early DAYS.

History tells of man who had i'm
portant financial transactions affecting
Louisiana territory, and whose portrait
as a matter of historic interest might
adorn the coming exposition at St.
Louis. The man was John Law, who
was born in Edinburgh in 1851. AT
the age of 20 he killed Beau Wilson In
a duel in London. He founded bank
with a paper currency, and in 17l7 he
got France to hand over to him the
whole of Louisiana, which at that time
included the territory drained by the
Mississippi, the Ohio and the Missouri
The whole scheme proved a fiasco and
Law died in poverty.

Novel Book Holder.

With the idea that anything worth
lsing is worth paying for, Harvey l..
Fisher of Chicago has invented coin
controlled book-holder, intended espe-
tally for city directories and other
public reference works. A company
mas already been formed for the intro
duction of this novelty and it is pos
slble that the -the-slot direc-
tory will in the near future be scat
tered through all the large cities. The
mechanism by which this novelty is
operated is quite simple, comprising
two hinged plates, to which the covers
of the book are secured, with extern
sions at the lower edge of each plate
which protrude into the box below.
These extensions engage a spring lock
which prevents the plates being opened
until a coin is inserted. The falling
coin trips a lever and allows the book
to be pulled open for consultation, the
user meanwhile taking care that pres
sure is eXerted on one plate or the
other as a spring forces them shut
again the instant they are released.
This arrangement might be utilized
where the directory of business house
was in demand by outsiders, the money
furnishing a remuneration for the &C
commodation, while the firm would use
blank coins for their own inquiries.

Principle of Magic Squares.

Magic squares of odd numbers in
which the figures added in perpendicu-
lar, horizontal or diagonal rows make
the same sum are found in books of
puzzles, but the principle on which
they are based is never given.
There is a principle, and it is ap-
plicable without limit, from one square
to any odd number of squares indef-
nitely. For illustration, twenty-five
squares are given and the sum of each
of its rows of figures perpendicularly,
horizontally or diagonally is sixty-five.
Now for the rule. Always write
your numbers conse cutively, diagonal
ly, upward, to the right If that direc-
ton carries you outside of the squares,
then go to the opposite end of the
row at which you stand. If you reach
a square that is occupied, or the upper
right hand corner, then drop to the
square below the last one used, and
proceed as before. Begin with 1 in the
upper center square. Now try it.

THE Latest Burglar Alarm.

There has been patented neat little
arrangement which is intended for at
tachment to the window to give warn
ing if an attempt is made to enter q
room by tampering with either sash.
OF course there are already numerous
devices on the market to foil the burg
lar, but the majority Of them are com
plicatet or expensive affairs, liable to
get out of order or in the way during
the day. The arrangement of this
alarm is such that 1t can be instantly
disconnected if it is desired to open
the window and it also has the ad"
vantage of allowing the sash to be left
open to ventilate sleeping apartment
without impairing the working of the
alarm. The mechanism consists of a
spring drum carrying the steel tape
for attachment to the outside sash.
with a hammer on the drum to strike
the gong at each revolution. The base
of the drum is fastened to the window
frame and the tape is threaded through
an eyelet on the inner sash before be-
ing secured to the outer sash. The

Headstone for soldiers Graves.

The United States government has
had finished a large number OF head
stones for the graves of soldiers and
sailors who fought in the civil war,
and they are being distributed as rap
idly as possible to the applicants at
present.
Recently a consignment reached
Boston from West Rutland, VT, for
relatives of deceased soldiers and sail
ors living hereabouts. The headstones
are about three feet in hight, and
when set at the head Of the grave Will
project at least one and half feet
above the ground.
They are made of white marble, and
are ten inches across the face and fVe
inches thick On the face is cut
shield and the name, rank and depart
ment of service the deceased served
in is cut in clear letters. 1t is very
neat appearing stone.
These stones are forwarded free OF
charge to the relatives of any soldier
or sailor and all that is necessary is
an application to the war department
at Washington, giving the name OF the
person whose grave the stone Is tc
mark. with his rating and date OF
service.

A Novelty from Austria.

A contrivance has been patented in
this country by George Detrsa of vi
emma, Austria. and its use is the auto
matte preservation from the danger of
drowning, as the inventor oddly puts
it. The device is carried by the person
to be preserved" and becomes opera
tive only when brought into the water,
acting in such manner that within a
few seconds at the utmost the wearer
is brought to the surface and supported
there. His patent shows the expanding
gas reservoir partially inflated, but
when the device is folded into its
smallest size it is hardly noticeable.
and may be worn attached to the cloth
ing without inconvenience or discom-
fort. The chamber at the right con-
tains a small quantity of calcium car
bide, which is transformed into gas
almost instantly when water enters
through the valve at the top. This
valve Immediately closes under the in
ternal pressure of the expanding gas.
and the latter, seeking a new outlet,
forces its way into the inflatable reser-
voir, creating sufficient buoyancy to
maintain a body on the surface of the
water for hours.

Longest Tooth Sixteen Inches.

Relics of prehistoric times have
been unearthed in a bog at what is
known as White Sulphur Springs. two
miles north of Alton, 1. T., by Prof
w. H. Holmes, head of the bureau Of
ethnology of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton in Washington, and w. A. Gill,
a government photographer The find
includes several large teeth and bones,
together with many arrow points and
heads. One tooth, that of mastodon,
measured sixteen inches in length
and four inches across the top. rms
is said to be the largest tooth OF these
extinct animals ever seen by man.

sc,ssors That Are Always Keen.

A decided novelty in the shears and
scissors line, that will especially rec
ommend itself to women, has just
been perfected by Chicago concern.
The invention consists of spring
connecting the blades of the scissors,
but which prevents them from loosen
ing or falling apart while in use. The
spring keeps the tension of the blades
steady and continuous, and its action
has the further effect of producing an
edge that always remains as sharp as
a razor Another popularity of the
device is that the scissors can be used
with either hand and that it will cut
the strongest or the f1imsiest material,
as the cloth cannot slip from the
grasp of the keen blades.

Blue and Gray Fraternize.

The Blue and the Gray had a happy
camp fire at Vicksburg, Miss, recently.
The local camp of Confederate veter-
ans united with the National Military
park commission and the board OF
trade in rendering 1T to the visiting
Federal veterans from the northwest
ern states. There were present large
number of old Confederate soldiers,
delegation from the United Daughters
of the Confederacy and many promi-
nent citizens. Capt. w. T. Rigby, chair
man OF the VickSburg National Mill
tary park commission, a Federal vet
eran, gave an eloquent welcome to the
old soldiers of both armies, dwelling
on the bravery and heroism displayed
on 1900 battlefields by both Northern
and Southern soldiers, which the gov
eminent is rightly and nobly commem-
Grating in the national military parks
Col. R. V. Booth of Nlcksburg next
spoke in similar strain, saying the
American soldier is everywhere reVered
and honored, whether his uniform was
blue or gray H. C. Putnam of Brod-
head. Wis, spoke also for the visiting
soldiers and invited the Southern com
rades to visit Wisconsin. Judge O. B.
Christian of Marion, Ohio, spoke for
statistics comparing the size of armies
and casualties in European wars which
emphatically proved the valor of the
American soldier and the mighty strug-
gle of the civil war. Lieut.-Gen. Ste
phen d. Lee. the famous eX-Confeder-
ate commander, gave brief sketch OF
Grants army of the Tennessee, and
outlined his Vicksburg campaign in a
mastery way. He claimed emphatic
| ally that the fall of Vic>sburg was the
| heaviest blow dealt to the Confederacy
| during the whole war, and praised the
| action of the government in establlsh-
| ing the Vicksburg National Military
park. This gathering was one OF the
most significant events ever held here
and the old soldiers from the North
west have very high opinions of Nlcks'
| burg hospitality.

Training of the National Guard.

The Army and Navy Journal, in an
article on National Guard Decisions, "
very truly says: In the introduction
of the various bills in Congress from
time to time for the reorganization of
the national guard. the fact is invari-
ably lost sight of that the time of the
majority of citizen soldiers is very lin
tied. and any scheme advocating a
months training for officers and men
is wholly impracticable."
In this line the Journal thinks a
week the limit for militia training.
While quite understanding that a
month is completely out of the ques-
ton. it is clearly within the line OF
possibilities to secure at least Ia days
of service.
