MANUFAcTURED MUMMIEs.
The Trade of Making Up "Antiques'' Is Carried On Extensively
 i'm Paris.


 There is said to be Q regular trade in Paris, of manufacturing "antiques," among which are included mummies.
 Bodies are obtained fFom the hospitals, and, after being scientifically treated, are shipped to Egypt. When they are shipped back again they have every ap- pearance of being authentic. M, E1ina, a young sculptor in Paris, recently ac- knewledged that, although he was sim ply working under orders for an "an- tique" firm,, that 1t was he who made the famous aTiara of Sartapharnes,' z which was bought by the Louvre mu- scum as genuine for $8o.00O. He made it in 1899, to the order of a firm of an- tiquity manufacturers at Monmartre. which had received commission from 8 noted collector, It was made with leaf gold, worth Seo0, and as he won- dered what it was intended for, he says he put private marks upon the tiara. His counsel possessed fall details of the marks in sealed envelope. He had heard that the tiara was first offered to the British museum, but that it was there found to be spurious. and rejected.

WHAT AMADOU IS.
sDonEy Tissue of Certain Fungi Much Used Before Matches Were invented.

1 "Amadou'' is rarely heard of nowa- days. A hundred years ago, however, it was a great article of export from the continent of Europe to this country. From France alone England used to buy $12o,o0o worth yearly, says Stray Sto- ries.
 Amadou Is merely the spongy tissue of certain fungi which grow on the. oak, horse chestnut, poplar, pear and willow, and from which the touchwood used in the days of flint and Steel was pre- pared. When matches were invented it seemed as if "amadou" as an article of commerce was doomed.
 That there is still considerable trade In this substance is due to the efforts of German who invented a process for converting 1t into material resem- bling chamois leather, and of which caps and cleaning cloths can be made. Another use found for ttamadou" is that of stanching blood.
 The latest fungus invention is 8 razor strop made from one of the tough tree fungi found in England, There Is indeed no substance from skim milk to bad eggs and from human hair to old lobster shells, with which the inventor does not experiment, and usually suc- ceeds in the long run in turning to good account.

RuBIBs EASILY PRODUCED.

New York, July 8o-Tn connection with recent decisions by the general board of appraisers regarding duty on limitations of precious stones, well known jewelry expert of this city through whose hands millions of dol lars worth of precious stones have passed, declares that rubies, beautiful in color and rivalling the natural gems are to-day easily produced from the chemists crucible. The method of their production. which he says was known in France years ago but was kept secret, lies in the manner of fus- ing a number of small, cheap stones into a single large one. It is said the manufacture is now being carried on extensively in several European coun- tries and only the most experienced examiner can detect the difference be- tween the real stones and those from the crucible.

CHINESE STUPIDITY.
Enlightened Celestials Advo-
 eating Reforms Arrested.
TO SUPPRESS FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Residents of PeIzing Accused of Lib-- @ral Tendencies Are to Be Severe Ky Punished - Editors Impris-
 oned May Be Decapitated.

PEKING, July 90.-The Chinese who are advocating government reforms have been terrorized by the readoption of the old policy of repression, as in- stanced by the recent arrest at ShaRg- hai of Chinese editors on charges of se- dition.
 These arrests are interpreted here as indicating that the extreme conserva- tives are In the ascendency and that the government has determined to SUD- press the comparative freedom of speech which has prevailed since the uDheaval of 1900.
 The names of forty residents of Pe- king who are accused of liberal ten dencies were presented to the dowager empress by the reactionary officials, who recommended that they be severe ly punished. Those accused are consid- cred guilty of only what in enlightened countries would be termed legitimate criticism of the government. This is said also to be true of the native jour nalists imprisoned at Shanghai, except in the case of two of them who sug- gested the assassination of the hant- choo rulers as a remedy for China's troubles.
 All foreigners and progressive Chi nese are deeply interested In the de- cision which the ministers will make on the question of turning over the na- tive editors arrested at Shanghai to Chinese jurisdiction, and they express the hope that technicalities concerning the jurisdiction of the mixed court will be ignored if necessary and that the ministers will refuse on the ground of humanity to deliver prisoners to the Chinese for probable t0Eture and exc cution, as happened in the case of the Chinese spies who were turned over to the Chinese officials at Shanghai during the Japanese war.
 Chang Chi Tuns, viceroy of Ranking, is credited with the leadership of the reactionary policy, advising such 8 course to the empress dowager, who willingly aoqrdesced. Prince Ching is reported to favor Ieaienoy.
 At the examinations recently held at Picking for the selection of officials many of the candidates departed from the usual custom of writing merely scholarly essays and submitted papers favoring improvements in the govern ment. All who pursued this course were refused offices on the advice of Chang Chi Tung.
 The dowager empress is said to blame the reformers and the increasing free dom of speech for the disorders In the south, hence the oppressive measures.
 Chang Chi Tuna has heretofore been considered one of the progressive vice. roys.

Axan Wac Set on Dynamite Shot by
 WatchAaMn.
 IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo, July 3o.- An explosion at the Sun and Moon mine wrecked the transformer house, set fire to the oil in the transformers and threatened the destruction of the main shaft. N'..& s The watchman at the mine, aroused by the explosion, rushed out in time to see two men running away from the transformer building. He fired at them several times, and later a wounded man was found lying near by.
 The Sun and Moon was the first mine affected by the strike which was declared last February. After four months of idleness the mine resumed operations in June with nonunion men.
 Manager Sims declares that no ex- plosive of any kind was kept in or near the transformer building, which, apparently, was wrecked by & heavy charge of dynamite.
 Twsnty-twO members of the miners union, including President Howard Tresixe and the other officials, have been arrested charged with conspiracy to blew up the mine, They protest ignorance of conspiracy and declare that they at all times advised the men to obey the law. They intimate that the destruction of the property was part of scheme to cast discredit upon the Western Federation of Miners. Twenty-two nonunion men were work ing on the eighth level of the mine at the time of the explosion, but escaped injury. The damage caused by the ex- plosion amounts ~ to several thousand dollapn

SUGAR BILL ADVANCED.

 Cool Consideration.

 Cool Consideration.
 London, July 3O.-The house of com mons yesterday passed the sugar con- vention bill to its second reading by Q vote of PA to IA. In the course or the debate Colonial Secretary Chamber lain, in defending it, said:
 For twenty years we have tried to obtain the voluntary abandonment or bounties It only was when he changed our policy and suggested retaliation that we struggled so long, and so es- capped a condition of things under which Germany and Austria would De able to regulate the price of sugar 1n Great Britain"
 MT Chamberlain said he believed the bill would not Increase the price or sugar, but, by giving greater staDillty and certainty to the trade, would bene- fit the West Indies. Referring to the possibility of losing the American mar ket, he said:
 sIf we only had treated the West Indies fairly there is no reason why they should not now be supplying us with the greater part of our demand. The government had choice between prohibition and countervail1ng duties. "
 He believed prohibition the simplest plan, but should it become necessary would take the opinion of parliament upon the question of countervailing du- ties. MT Chamberlain did not touch directly the fiscal question, but incl dentally remarked:
 ''We are on the eve of great eco- nomic fight, and it behooves everybody to keep cool as long as possible, and not turn an economic into personal fight"
