papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori-

that country have 'ascfeit palate, which
prevents them from being properly

more astonishing fact stillz-and one
that also greatly puzzles hiolcgists-is
that which determines that of all the

born in Bristol are regarded as the

the plates, rolls and dies used in print

Treasury Department rode on each
truck. A Treasury committee rode in
a carriage.
The procession went to the Navy
yard foundry, where the plates were
unceremoniously dumped into one OF
the furnaces, to come out as pig steel
and to be used for ballast for war
chips. There were twenty tons OF
plates, rolls and dies, from which
were printed last year $4,000. 100000 in
gold and silver certificates Of various
denominations, and $685., 100000 IN
