VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
Il May Clear Mystery of RoentEen
Rays and Tend to Show That
They Can Be Pola riHed.

Lord Rayleigh, professor Of natural
philosophy at the Royal institution,
of London, has announced that Mr..
Blondelot, a skillful French. expert
menter, very recently adduced evil
dence going far to prove that the
Roentgen rays are susceptible Of
polarization, if they have not been
polarized already, and can, therefore,
be traced in the spectrum.
If this is true and the rays are
transversal, as NJ. Blondelot thinks,
it follows that they are species of
ordinary light, but of extremely
short wave lengths, perhaps q hun
dred times shorter than the waves
of the light than one can see.
Lord Rayleigh said he saw no rea-
son to question the discovery, which
is of first-rate Importance in helping
to determine the nature of the
Roentgen rays, which has been in
doubt ever since they were discov-
cred.
In another part of the lecture, In
which the above announcement was
made, Lord Rayleigh dealt with coast
lights. He questioned the use of the
extreme candle power employed in
some lighthouses.
He said that single candle is Wis
ible three miles on a dark night if
the air is absolutely clear, but as
the air is never SO a great candle
power is necessary to allow for diff
fusion, but even when this allowance
is made he doubted if anything is
gained by such illumination, as is
produced by the electric arc at st.

which is equal to some millieus of
candles.

UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
German Scientist Taught . Fish to
Become Quite TerrestriAl In
All His Habits.

A German scientist-he could onlv
have been German-once conceived.
we are told, plan to train a fish to
live out of water. He placed a thriving
little carp in small tank and with
infinite patience and great exactness
removed from the tank one spoonful
of water every day, at the same time
increasing gradually the amount Of
oxygen in the water. In time the water
barely covered the carp, and still it
thrived. The quantity of water con-
tinued to diminish, and, by slowly
adapting its method of breathing to
the new conditions, the fish began to
breathe air and, indeed, became quite
terrestrial in it's habits before tho
tank was entirely dry. The scientist
had grown to love the carp. He fed it
from his own hand, and now that it
was living in the same element with
himself, he took it from the tank and
left it as free to follow it's own devices
as was the family cat. The little fish
also loved its master. It followed him
about from place to place, Topping
along after him, stopping only occa-
sionally to leap for passing fly. Ono
day the scientist was crossing bridge.
The carp, as usual, was at his heels, en-
joying the pleasant air of the country.
side and uttering from time to time a
little sound expressive of delight and
contentment. About the middle of
the bridge fat house fly was summing
itself on the rail. The carp spied tho
fly and jumped for it, but miscalculat-
ing the distance, went over the Fail
into the river-and was drowned.-

Al Apimal Story For
Little Folks
The Gentleman Boar

There was once a wild boar who was
dissatisfied with himself because the
people so often mistook him for pig.
II am not a pig, though 1 do look
like one a little Bit" he said to him
self, "and 1 do not want people to
think that I am a pig. But what am
to do? I can't run around all the
time crying, I'm no pig; I'm boar!
II know just what III do," said he.
"I'll dress myself up and be a gentle
man, and then people will not only not
call me a pig, but they will see that l
am q fine fellow.
So away he went to hat store and
bought himself black hat, and at the
tobacco shop he bought a pipe and a
bag of tobacco. He put on his hat,
and he stuck the pipe In his mouth,
and, just as proud as a peacock. ne
sat down on corner and waited for
people to come along and admire him.
But they came without admiring him.

asked as they passed. And, strange to
say, nobody answered that that was a

WOMAN TRAPS RATTLERs..
Mrs. Dutro Finds Plain Mouse Traps
Just Riaht for StranqIina Snakes.


The problem Of how to catch and dis
pose of the rattlesnakes at Ten Mile
Point, near here, has been solved by
Mrs. Daniel Dutro, wife Of a small far
mer. Instead Of going hunting for the
reptiles and running the risk Of being
bitten by them, this woman uses a
mouse trap, and thus far has been emf
nently successful In her undertaking.
Ten Mile Point has often been called
Rattlesnake Point, on account Of the
large number Of rattlers that thrive in
that vicinity. Not q season goes by
that several cattle are not killed by
them, and now and then human vic
tim is claimed.
Mike Dutro and Jack Cornwell, the
latter noted snake catcher, have for q
long time been trying to clear the place
Of reptiles, but without success. Final
ly they sought the aid Of Mrs. Dutro.
Nothing more simple" said the wo-
man, as she smiled in a superior sort
of way.
Instead of unfolding her plans to the
men and thus allowing them to gain all

she baited and set around in various
places. Then she retired to her own
room to sleep the sleep Of the just

HARD COIN TO COUNTERFEIT.
The Silver Dollar, Pressed Out Of Cold
Metal, Isn't Easily Initiated.

nc StlVoT 1oIidT, EToSSeo SdS W So'a
Metal, Isn't Easily Initiated.
A bank cashier Of long experience
stated recently that fully one-half of
the silver dollars in everyday circula-
tion were counterfeit. He declared that
as there was only little more than
so cents worth Of silver in a dollar,
counterfeiters were making them of
the exact purity and fineness Of dollars
coined by the government. The bank
clerk said that the makers were clear
ing about twenty-fiv cents upon each
dollars made. This story went the
rounds Of the newspapers, and was be-
lieved by most people.
Thomas r. McManus, the govern
ment's secret service operator here,
whose business it is to know all about
counterfeit money, said:
"I read that statement when it was
printed. 1t was too ridiculous for seri-
GUS attention by experts, but as 1t was
believed by a great many people. 1t
might be worth while to say that Of
every 100000 silver dollars in circula-
ton not more than one Is a counterfeit
with any per centage Of silver in it. 1t
Is true that a man could make dollar
with the same amount of silver in 1t
that the government puts in and make
a good profit on it If he could pass it,
and many people wonder why 1t Is not
done more than 1t Is.
"The reason is very simple. All gov
eminent coins are stamped out of
sheets of cold metal. This gives the
coin a clearness and sharpness Of line
that could never be approached in a
coin made Of molten metal run in a
mould. An expert can tell at a glance
coin that has been run in a mould.
because the metal does not fill out the
lines and corners. So, as a first propo-
sition. your successful counterfeiter Of
coins must first set up machinery that
would stamp the coins out Of the cold
metal.
"A plant of this kind would cost so
many thousands of dollars that no man
with that much money would think Of
investing 1t in so risky business.
That is preventive No. l. The second
Is that such machinery in operation, If
located in city, would shake the
building and be so noisy that 1t would
soon be discovered. 1t would be out Of
the question to operate such plant in
the country. of course. Inquisitive
country people would soon nose it
out, and the governments operators
would soon pounce upon it. So, in
brief, I've told you why the bank CASH
ier's story was a silly one. You can
add, to give it further effect, that an
expert can detect a counterfeit silver
coin the moment he sees and touches
it."-Kansas City Star.
