SEEK A LOST SHIPS GOLD.
Am merican Adventurers on a Hazard pus Guest on New ZeAland's
 Coast

An American schooner lately ar- rived in New Zealand with a party who propose to search for 1ong-los treasure. Nearly 40 years have passed since the ship General Grant left Aus tralia for London with cargo of gold and wool. At one of the Auckland is lands, near New Zealand, she met with a frightful fate. She was sucked into a sort of colossal cave, but itis possible she might have got out if huge wave had not lifted her so high that the masts, striking the roof, were driven through her bottom. Through the openings thus made the water rushed in and she speedily sank. Only one sailor and two children were saved.
 After some months on the island they were picked up by g passing steamer and taken to New Zealand. Several attempts have been made to recover the large quantity of gold that went down in the General Grant, but they were all failures. Itremains to be seen whether the American ad- venturers will be more successful. If they should recover the gold is it their property? That seems a nice legal point.

DETECT THE MINT THIEVES.
Japanese Use the x-Rays to Catch Employees Who Conceal Coins in
 Their Stomachs.

A firm in Philadelphia has recently sold to the Japanese government one of their X-ray machines for a novel purpose, reports the New York Post. The representatives of Japan who placed the order said that in the governmental hints a great many gold dollars are coined and there has been considerable loss through dis honest employees swallowing the small coins and thus taking them out of the hints. There has been no way of preventing this until clever off, cial suggested the use of the X-rays, and the machine was ordered at once.
 It is not proposed to put every em- ploye to the test when leaving the hints, but he will be searched by cleo tricity from time to time, unexpect- edly, and any one of the employees may be called up at any time to un dergo the test. It is believed that the fear of detection will prevent the stealing, at least in the form now used. It is suggested that a machine might be used with profit in the South African diamond fields to make the black laborers honest. The field for X-rays in this direction seems to be large.

The horse stood stock still. BY that

followed any visible path. He wheeled
the horse about. 1t still refused to go
on. and then the man inferred that the
crust of lee had been so hard that the
horse could not follow back the way
it had come. That night the trooper
slept under saddle blankets, with the
faithful horse standing sentry.
For five days the trooper wander

RESTING IN MlDAlR.
Faculty of PoisinH Possessed by
some of the Largest birds.
OF DOUGLAS COUNTY

"While | never have seen it explained
in print said one Of the ornithological
sharps of the zoo, 1T is n wonder to
me persons should ex.sress amazement
nj the ability of certain birds to hang
poised in the air without wing motion.
III is a faYOritc trick of the great
condor. Away in the air, far beyond
the mountain tops, these birds hang
poised rs motionless as if perched on
solid rock. True, their wings are out
stretched. but even through glasses not
the slightest motion is perceptible.
They remain in this position for many
minutes. sometimes for an hour, max

Then, with a slight fitting of the wings,
they flap slowly away or having
found what they We're seeking. dart

faculty of poising apparently on moth
ing.
These birds move about until they
meet an uprising current of air. Ii
may come from Immediately beneath
them. from wind DETECTED by striking
cliff along the sea, or may come
from great distance, where a rush
ing wind struck the side of n noun
tain and was turned upward. Being
on the wing most of the time in search
of prey. they have learned TO utilize
these uprushing air currents for their
own purposes. Coming TO one of these
and heading to the wind, they fix their
plnions at an angle which will permit
them to rest there and scrutinize some
thing that has taken their attention
perhaps on the plain below. Thus,
while they seem poised on nothing, the
air current rushing upward buoys
them.

ANOTHER MOTIVE FOR

According to Springfield CORE
spondents the action of Gov. Yates
in removing Brig. Gen. Clendenin
from the command of the 3rd brig
ade and the appointment of Adit. Gen.
Smith to the place at this time was
done to take advantage of a law re-
Gently passed that will be in effect
July L and that will necessitate a
brigade commander to have served
seven years as colonel or lieutenant
colonel.
This regulation when in effect
would operate to prevent Gen. Smith
from becoming brigade commander.
but if appointed before the law is in
force of course he can hold the posi-
ton. 1t is further claimed that the
object is not to keep Gen. Smith at
the head of the 3rd brigade, but to
merely elevate him to Office so that
later on he can be given one of the
southern brigades that is closer to
his headquarters at Chester. Then
Col. ID. Jack Foster, colonel of the 9th
regiment, viii succeed at the head of
the Bird brigade.
