GIGANTIC LOBSTER.
CAUGHT After . Protracted Struggss
by capt. Emery Gray, ON the
Maine Coast.


This fish story is about lobster,
but it's all right and its veracity is
vouched for by Capt. Emery Gray, one
Of the NEST hardy and daring fisher
men on the. island of Ninalhaven, on
the Maine coast. In fact, Capt. Gray
is the hero of the story. or. at least,
shares first honors with the lobster.
One morning, so the tale runs, the
doughty captain was strolling along
the shore near the mouth of Indian
creek with clam hoe in his hands.
when he caught sight of lobster cav
protruding from the sand. The IN
usual side to this discovery was tt at

larger than any whole crustacean the
captain had ever encountered. Think

ones that will not be counted down to
the last penny.
The count of the bonds held as Sc
curity for national bank note circula-
ton has been finished. About 1854. 000,-
600 was called for there and they bal
anced to a cent.
The experts are now at work on the
$403 200, 900 reserve fund. This con.
sists of brand new bills, ready to be is
sued whenever they are called for.
They are done up in packages of l 200
notes, regardless of the denomina-
tons. The smartest of the yonug
women can count 12 Of these bundles,
or $4,000 bills, in a day of five. hours.
The bills are sitter and consequently
are harder to handle than currency
that has been used.
On what rs known as a straight
count" involving bills that have been
used, but are perfectly cleans and
whole, some Of the most expert young
women have counted 10000 in five
hours. The 20 women do practically
nothing but count the money. The
male assistants give out the bundles
and take receipts for them. As they
are counted they are done up in pack
ages again and sealed. The girl who
counted them puts her initials on the
package, and after it has been inspect
ed by the committee in charge it is re-
placed in the vault. The bundles are
returned to the vault in proper order,
DO they can easily be taken out in rota-
ton, when they are called for.
The counting of the reserve fund
will take 30 or 40 days. Then the
counters will dig into the gold coin, sill
yer certificates, United States notes,
national bank notes received for re-
demption, the fractional coin and the
mixed money held for daily use. The
entire count will not be finished for
nearly three months.

MONEY IN TREASURY.
Every Dollar in Gold and Currency
Now Being Counted.
rre..urer Roberts Has Corps OF
pert Women Going Over the se
Resources In Uncle Sans
Vaults.

Tw.nt, expert women. assisted by
nix men, are counting every dollar IN
gold and currency and every bond IN
the United States treasury. lneS arc
under the watchful eyes of a commit
tee of three heads of divisions aPPoih'-
ed by Treasurer Ellis IL. Roberts.
Ordinarily an actual count OF the
money and bonds in the treasury Is
made only when a new treasurer Is aPr
pointed. The contents of the govern
ment vaults have not been couh'eo
since Mr.. Roberts took office SIX years
ago and it would not now be done hau
it not been for the post office scandai.
Mr.. Roberts decided to see whether or
not there has been any crookedness IN
his department. 1T will be supreme
test" he said to New York World
man.
He believes every dollar that should
be in the vaults will be found there's IL
q shortage be found the responsible
person will quickly be detected, for so
well does the government guard its
finances that every dollar can be
traced from the time it is printed until
it goes out into circulation and from
the time it is returned to the treasury
for redemption until it is destroyed.
The books show that there is now in
the treasury cash and bonds to the
value of about $1.0S0. 0O0,0O OF this
amount $3.50, 600, 900 is silver dollars
and these probably will not be count
ed. 1t took six months to go over
them when they were last counted and
Mr.. Roberts will be content with
physical count of the silver vaults. He
goes on the theory that no one would
go to the trouble of carrying off silver
with plenty of gold and currency in
sight that could just as well be taken
But the silver vaults will be the only

FORTY BIG AIRSHIPS.
All Will Take Part in the Coming

Contests to he Presided Over By SAN

Avian Flight.

The airship races which are to take
place in Paris during the coming sum-
mer will mark an epoch in dirigible
balloon building. The most famous
aeronauts in the world, headed by San
tos-Dumont, will gather together in
the French capital and there engage

BY general desire NJ. Santos-Dumonf
is to be the president of these airship
races. and he is taking an infinitude Of
trouble to insure their perfect sue
cess. His airship station. the first OF
the kind, is now well forward in con-
.struction, and when completed will be
one of the most interesting buildings
in the world. The huge barn, as he
calls it, is divided into seven sections,
or stalls. each capable of housing the
biggest airship ever built.
Three of these sections will be &C.
cupied BY NJ. Santos-Dumont's own YES
sells, but the remaining four will be at
the service of any fellow aeronaut who
desires temporary accommodation for
his ship. Each section will be fur
nished with double doors opening out

ventor intends to adopt in releasing
the airship is novel and ingenious.

ever what fortunate chance for the

DIR. Won Koerber, a government official
of some Importance, suddenly was
summoned by the emperor to become
prime minister. Few people. even in
Austria, had heard Of him. His oppor-
tunity came through the failure of sew
eral cabinets to carry on affairs in the
face of obstruction in the reichsrath.

able to call neutral premier to as

crat proved to be a more enlightened
minister than either of his predeces-
sors, and the emperor found it desir-

have equal chances Of winning. At
given signal the aeronauts will cast
on and the fight for the mastery Of the
air will begin. There will be no crowd
sing. each vessel having plenty of room,
so that the chances of false start will
be reduced to minimum.
II is at these Partisan races that M.
sSantos-Dumont will compete with n.
Lebaudy in the fight for the 100000
franc prize. NJ. Lebaudy will sail his
famous yellow One" a large vessel ca
ipable Of carrying three people. His OPP
ponent however, intends to try =
smaller vessel, and will sail with one
assistant only. Both aeronaufs are
confident of success, and the race is
looked forward to as one of the most
exciting in the annals Of ballooning.
1t is not known yet how many air
ships viii take part in these races, but
in Paris alone there are at present
building. or already built. no fewer
than II first-class vessels. NJ. Dumont
is now booking entries from all parts
of Europe, and he confidently expects
that the number Of dirigible balloons
competing will amount to something
not far short Of 40.
Among those vessels already entered
for the races are the Rose. the biggest
airship in the world; La Vile de Paris,
= vessel similar in construction and
shape TO those built by n. Dumont;
the famous Firmin Bousson sbottle-
shape balloon; the General Tour, built
by the son OF the welr known soldier:
and the National.
NJ. Santos-Dumont is also busy SUI
perintending the building of what will
be the biggest airship in the world,
bigger even than the Rose. 1t is fur
nished with four wicker baskets, each
of which viii hold three persons.
There are to be three decks and for
stability it will not have its equal-in
the air. At least, that is what the in
ventor claims for it. The superstition
that N. Santos-Dumont would have
found some difficulty in persuading q
dozen people to trust their lives in the
new ship would be but natural. but
such is the craving for excitement in
these days that he has already re-
ceived the names Of over hundred
volunteers who desire to make the first
trip in this monster balloon

No Strength In stinul.pt..

The idea that alcohol or any other
stimulant can ever impart strength
must be abandoned. says a writer in
The Hospital. A stimulant has a GER
tain effect on the circulation, and this
may enable the person who takes it
to exert more strength temporarily:
but the energy that he uses comes not
from the stimulant, but from his own
blood and tissue. A similar mistake
Is made with the administration of
stimulant to relieve feeling of de-
preston or sinking. An injurious re-
action always follows. Alcohol Is
harmful also in diseases of the kidnevs
or of the liver. but it seems to be good
for diseases of the lungs, and its ef-
feet on appetite and digestion may be
good when properly employed. When
"stimulants" put one to sleep and
quiet agitation, they are doing good:
when, on the contrary, they raise the
pulee-rate, and cause excitement and
wakefuIness, they are doing harm.
