 With command, Hands up, gen tlemeu," stranger strode into the saloon from the rear door, and imme- diatelv lined up dozen or so persons in the room along the wall. He quickly stepped to the faro table, keep ing the crowd covered with his re- volver. and demanded the money from the lookout. He was told if he wanted the money. to help himself. As he reached across the table to get the bank roll Sid Harris, who was seated at the table, with hands high in the air. grabbed the revolver. In the scafile the pistol was discharged, the bullet lodging in the rear wall.
 Nr. Harris quickly overpowered the robber, and he was turned over to Officer Johnny James, who was soon on the spot. having heard the discharge of the pistol, and taken to the city jail.
 Mir. Harris had his hands slightly burned by powder from the discharge i Of the pistol, and several of the cheeks on the table were discolored. The bullet passed over the poker table tC 1 the rear, barely missing one of tho men lined up to the wall.-Reyiew.

Another new metal is reported, which in many of it's properties Is to aluminium, but still Of lesser weight. It was discovered by the French engineer, Albert Modem, and is called "nodium, after him, says United States Consul Guenther of Frankfort, Germany. It is manu- factured by electric process. In color, luster and structurs it is like steel. It's specific gravity when molten Is "A Its resistance against breaking is given as about 20 pounds per square or O.O4 inch. Its constancy in the air Is higher than that of aluminium. Its ductilitv is between six and eight in ches; the malleabili:y can be compared to that of bronze. It melts at about 600 degrees C.

 for the electric current is said to be as

poor have been swindled by unscrupu-

have pretentious establishments and
who advertise freely. a list Of the
witches and oracles who are imposing
upon the public has been handed to
Police Commissioner McAdoo and he
will assign two plain clothes men to
the work of driving them from their

are cIassed as disorderly persons. 1t
is said that there are in New York city
not fewer than 500 fortune tellers who
have developed several degrees of i'm

the medical wards was approached by
one of the patients, an old woman
who was much worried about her in

doctor replied with a twinkle in his

as she did not appear to have any
sound teeth ieft.-New York Times.
