Fluctuation OF Values OF Coin Have Been

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Washington, Dec. 22.--ln proclama-
ton issued by Governor Taft Of the Philip
pines, dated October I3, 1909, and made
public today by the war department. an
nouncement is made that Mexican silver
dollars shall be receivable for public dn-
ties until January /, 1904, at the rate OF
S2.3o of Mexican currency for 81 OF money
OF the United States, unless this rate shall
be subsequently changed by proclamation.
The Philippine coinage act provided that
when sufficient supply not less than
5000 900 of the Philippine pesos, were
available for circulation in the islands, the
new unit Of value should be established.
The act also provides that the civil gov
ernor might fix by proclamation date
not earlier than January /, 1904, when
Mexican dollars shall cease to be rcceiv-
able for public duties.
The nuctuation in the ratio during the
last two years has caused much loss to
the insuar government in the depreciation
in value of the stock of Mexican dollars
in the insular treasury.

CHARGE IS DROPPED
MRS. SAM LAWSON DOES NOT WISH
TO PROSECUTE HIM FOR
ASSAULT.

The proceedings instituted against Sam
Lawson of Walkerville by his wife, charg-
ing him with cruelty and raising rough
house, have been dropped on motion of the
wife, who has relented and is willing to
forgive and forget.
Since the night in question he has re-
pented of his act and is being good, so
good in fact, that his wife declared she
was willing to take him back on probation.
The constable who had the warrant to
serve called on Mrs. Lawson and was in
formed that Sam was hard at work and
that he was behaving himself, so the mat
ter was allowed to pass quietly out of
court.

lars.
During the session of the chemical
congress at. Berlin, Prof w. Markwald
of that city showed to the electro
chemical and physical section smudge
of dark powder on a piece of paper.
which was the first time that any of
those eminent scientists had seen the
metal polonium discovered by Profess
sor and Madame Curie of Paris. The
latter doubted whether polonium was
primary element, or related to bismuth,
but Professor Arkwald demonstrated
that 1t was indeed primary element.
He exhibited bit of metal weighing
15-fO0 of grain. which was produced
from two tons of uranium at a cost of
$75. 1t is more sparsely distributed in
uranium than xenon, the most rarifieS
gas, is in the atmosphere.
Professor Markwald proceeded to
give marvellous exhibition of the
powers OF his speck of polonium. 1t
intercepted a strong current of electric
ity passing through the air from the
generator to the receiver. the air ceas-
ing to be a conductor for the flashes.
The room was then darkened and
pieces of barium. platinum and zinc
blende placed near the polonium
glowed with bright. greenish light.
The assemblage of chemists were
thrilled with astonishment. 1t ap-
peared to be miracle
In the section of organic prepara-
tions Professor Proskauor of Berlin
read paper on the sterilization of
drinking water with ozone and on
ozone water works. the German cleo
tricians having succeeded in producing
at small cost concentrated solution of
ozone. The speaker, with Professor
Ohimueller and Professor Prall of the
imperial health Office. made exhaustive
experiments with the solution in pur-
flying water. The experiments in
cluded tests with water artificially i'm
pregnated with the deadliest disease
germs, like typhus, cholera and dys-
entery. Such water was pumped
through the so-called ozonizing tower
and then rigidly analyzed. All the
germs were found to be killed. whereas
the ordinary method of sand filters left
the germs living. Moreover, the water
was greatly improved in quality.
through the increase of oxygen from
the ozone.
Professor Proskauor said the oZon-
Ing plant was cheaper than the sand
fltering system usually used in city
water works, hence the time had come
for the general introduction of ozone
plants. The town of Weisbaden. added
the professor already has one of these
plants. which sterilizes $50 cubic feet
of water hourly

VALUE OF FRENCH TITLES.
They Confer No Privilege at Home,
Yet Help When Abroad.

"Why do we have them?" the
French people are beginning to ask.
What is the sense OF them? What is
their raison d'etre? They are merely
relic of monarchical days-gone. we
hope, never to come back. Why should
we style people as counts. marquises
and barons. cts, when they are merely
descendants of people who used to be
such?"
French titles are nothing more than
nominal, anyway; they carry no priv
ilege at home and merely give GER
tain precedence abroad, when prece-
dence is in question.
They have, however. been of a COM
mercial value in connubial matters:
scores of rich girls have married i'm
pecunious and sometimes vicious and
dissipated Frenchmen for the sake of
their titles.
If a threatened law against them
should pass these ladies would be de-
prived of the honor for which they
sacrificed themselves and their for
tunes. They would not be entitled to
legal redress, but would no doubt
think the French assembly was just
too mean for anything.

NEW YORK TOWN STICKS
TO CANDLES AND LAMPS

Towns are like individuals. They
seldom get over early prejudices.
There is one town within a days trav-
el of the metropolis where majority
or the residents still burn lamps and
candles in preference to gas.
The town has never run away with
itself, but it has managed to keep in
sight of the procession by jogging
along at conservative gait, except in
the way of light. One of it's inhab-
itants who was here the other day ex-
planned what to some people is Pc
culiarity of his town.
"A good many years ago. he said,
"after a good deal of dickering and
persuasion, our town gave the right
of way to gas company to lay mains
and put up lamp posts The people,
however, declined to have gas in their
houses or in their places of business.
Women were afraid of it and that set
tied It,
"A year or so later a denomination
that had number of rich members
built new church. 1t would have
been an attractive ediice for even a
more pretentious town. After it was
completed bishop was invited to
dedicate it.
THE gas company saw in the event
an opportunity to crush out a preju-
dice, and proposed to light the new
church on the night of the dedica-
tion with gas. The main in the street
was tapped and pipe was run into
a portable gas reservoir which stood
in front of the church. From this

A gas company would not do. it that
way now, but it was the only way
known at the time l mention.
"The crowd was outside instead OF
in. The gas display was revelation
to the town. About the only people
in the church were. the bishop, the
of the church. The choir sang all
the music it knew, and still the con-
gregation tarried without.
Some time after the hour when the
service should have been under way
there was an explosion. The lining
of the reservoir burst. The crowd
scattered. The lights in the church
were extinguished.
"A few minutes later the bishop
and the minister and the choir and
the governors escaped by windows
and doors. The atmosphere that hangs
over glue factory was like new
mown hay compared with that of the
vicinity of the new church.
"Of course. after the explosion had
occurred every old woman in the town
said she knew it would. And they
still believe it is liable to burst any
minute. and tat is why our town.
moderately up to date in other re-
spects, is still burning kerosene and
candles in its houses.
