AT THE ST. LOUIS FAIR.
WOMEN MAKE PAPER MONEY
Even the Guides at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing
Are Girls.

The government and the banks, and
even the post offices, would be in hole
for time if all the women in the bureau
of engraving and printiLg should drop
dead all at once. That shop would have
to close up pretty quick. Why, you cant
even go over there and look around with
out woman to show you. All the guides
to the Bureau for the benefit of tourists
and other ignorant pe0ple-which in
cludes all Washington people, for Wash
ington people are the most ignorant peo-
pie on earth about Washington institu-
tions-all the guides, and there are seven
OF them, are women, young women and
pretty women at that, says the Washing
ton Post
And how the people do visit there.
Three thousand a week, said a guide.
That's 500 day. And that's one a min
ute for every working hour of the day.
Pretty constant stream of callers that.
Not so many years ago three decrepit
old men were the guides. Now the seven
are women. which is significant and one
that typifies the work done in the bureau
for here, of the 5000 employees, moro
than half are of the feminine persuasion.
These young and good looking guides
will explain how American money is
printed on the back, then put in cold
storage, where it goes through drying
process; then sorted and the imperfect
sheets thrown out; then printed on the
face, and then perforated and put up
in packages to be sent to the treasury
for the government seal.
They generally tell how useless it
would be for any one to try to rob the
wagon containing this money. In the
first place, because six guards always ac-
company it; and, in the second place.
because the money at this stage of it's
manufacture wouldn't be any good, any
way.
''It is seven days after bill is printed
on its back before it is printed on thu
face said the visitors guide. 1T takes
so days to make a silver dollar bill, and
40 to make gold one. The gold one is
printed three times. twice on one side
because it has to have the word gold
and little splotch of gold on this side
before the face can be printed"
Then she led the visitor to the framed
dollar bill fastened to one of the walls in
the hall. and showed these bills, calling
special attention to the gold certificate,
and then led the way back to the front
door and said adieu. 1t was all over in
ten minutes.

THE GOOD TIME.

The good time is just over yonder
Where the light in the clear heaven
shines;
The blithe birds are singing
The glad bells are ringing,
And the wind whispers sweet to the vines!
There is never the ghost OF sorrow,
And Love is reality sweet,
And heaven seems SO near
That the angels we hear
And their songs in our hearts we repeat
The souls that through trouble have
Striven,
They rise to an infinite height;
ve-eifted and strong,
With no sigh in their song.
They dream in the lilies and light!
The deep wings of Peace brood above them'
And never q thOrn's in the sod;
They pass to the glory
or heavens own story,
The beautiful gardens of God.

INSECTS LURED BY LIGHT.
Numerous Species of Bugs Afford
Good Feasts for Nocturnal
Animals.

Interesting results have followed the
| introduction of the electric light in the
streets of Port of Spain, Trinidad. The
| largely populated insect world of that
region had never before seen such bril-
| liant illumination as the arc lights Of
fered, and they have shown great Curl
osity, says the New York Sun.
Every morning the ground under the
lamps is found to be strewn with thou
| sands of dead insects of many varieties.
| 1t is impossible to walk without treading
On them.
If the supply of insects were not mex
| haustible, some of the varieties would
certainly be doomed to extinction. In
| fact, one kind is evidently less numerous
now than before the electric lights were
| installed
This is kind of giant waterbug. Of
! which such incredible numbers were de-
stroyed that the bug has come to be gem
orally known as the electric beetle. The
| lamps are no longer visited by the
| crowds of these bugs that at first came
| to inquire into the meaning Of the
strange brilliance. Either the species
has been greatly depleted through the
destruction of many thousands of it's
| members. or else some kind of instinct
| has told them that arc lamps are danger
Ous things to meddle with.
The owls in their wisdom have learned
| to profit by the fascination which the
| arc lamp has for insects. AS the illum-
ination is turned on at nightfall the owls
may be seen vending their way to the
| neighborhood of the lamps. for they have
discovered that their prey is more
abundant there than anywhere else.
The feast is spread before them and ell
they have to do is to dash out from the
trees and capture a moth or a beetle
that is winging it's way to the dazzling
goal Then the owls return to their
perehes and wait for the next conner.
The bats also have learned to make
use Of the lights in this unsportsman
like manner, for catching moths and
other insects.
Not few explorers in tropical regions
have complained that it is impossible
to have light in camp during the night
| without incurring unpleasant visitations
from myriads of insects. One of them
recently wrote that he was often forced
to dine in the dark, as an attempt to use
a light attracted swarms of flies which
got into his eyes and dropped into his
food.
The naturalist. Eugene Andre. in his
recent description Of journeys in the ORR
noco basin, found that he could carry
on his work of collecting insects at night
by the use of lights. One evening an as
sistant took number of flashlight
photographs by using the magnesium
light.
An invasion of the camp by moths and
other insects at once occurred, and An
Dire secured more than 100 specimens.
On the following morning he found the
singed and mutilated remains of many
others that had perished miserably,
lured by the strange spell which a bright
light casts upon them.

Helen were drifting Well, it was her
fault. If it bored her to hear about his
work, surely he could not intrude 1t upon
her. That was all.
But it was not all. A few weeks later
he found himself again in Harry's home,
listening to the voice of Harry's wife as
it came to him from an adjoining room:
"Oh, Harry, you Sre such comfort. |
wonder if a man ever realizes what it
means to a woman to be able to talk out
all her troubles to him and be laughed
at for her pains" Then he heard Harry
iaugh--a tender little laugh-and de-
cided to postpone his call.
IL wonder if Helen ever has troubles
or worries, or if she ever gets blue?'
And that evening he surprised her with
the demand:
Tell me something about your work.
Helen"
MY work."
Yes. What are you working on
now?"
why. some essays; about as much
as anything"
All, they were humping against the
same old ice foe, but Jim determined not
to see it,
What sort Of essays?" he persisted
''Why-er-ethical. principally"
''How Go you go about writing an es-

anyone else does. suppose"
There was pause; them:
That's good work you've been doing
on the Meridian"
THANK you
jim got up desperately, and began
looking around for his hat. He wished
with all his heart just then that it was
not against the rule for her to ask where
he was going, it would have been such a
satisfaction to his soul to tell her he
was going in search of some one who
wasn't a clam.
AS the weeks wore to months, Jim
angry as hurt schoOlboy over his re-
pulse. He fancied that mysterious
forces were at work within him-and
perhaps they were. That the deeper
instincts OF his nature were awakening 6
and crying for companionship-a cry to
which his wife could not respond. 1t
was as though he had groped in the dark
for the touch of human hand and
grasped the cold clay of dethroned idol.
He seemed to be looking forward into
long years of loneliness-the unuttera-
Bile loneliness of mismated soul; the
conviction of failure, of incompleteness
grew upon him. The story of his life
spelled tragedy. He told himself bit
terly that while he dreamed of affinity
he had drifted upon affectation. And
being young and vigorous, he flung out
sayagely against his fate. Other men
roamed at will in their wives gardens;
he might enter only when she chose to
let down the bars. To stand waiting
without-always. Tt, was not mar
riage-this was not even common com
panionship. 1t was not long before dis
content ran up it's evil seed. When

were still commenting admiringly up
on the beautiful success of the expert
ment, one of the experimenters was IA

She dropped into chair and sunk her

to read mechanically. He was playing

The hand that propped her cheek had
slipped to her temple, and he could not
see her face. He leaned forward. the
hand that held the book dropped be-
tween his knees, while his other hand
clenched hard on the arm OF the chair.
! 'Helen,' he repeated. Look at me-"
She obeyed and started up hurriedly
to lean against the mantle

TURBINES OF 400 YEARS AGO.

The turbine. or which we hear and ex-
pect so much in these days, is by no
means an idea new in mechanics. Twen-
ty-seven hundred years ago. in the lit
tie nation OF the Chaldees, adjoining
Armenia. the water turbine was known,
and built. and used in milling. 1t was
then called the shell wheel" The
wheel was used L a horizontal position,
no effort being made to secure the great
est value of the water pressure. The
wheel was connected 10 a vertical shaft
which turned the stone and ground the
grain into n coarse -four
Near the city % Van, believed 10 have
been built 1900 years b. c. there still re-
main canals In good state of preSerVa-
ton. one OF them. sixty miles long, Is
now used for irrigation and power At
one time, Centuries agone. there were
forty mills on this canal. and today the
remains of these ancient institutions
may be seen. Flour mills, driven by
these simple turbines, OF the same type
as was USED there 200 years ago, are
stiil In operation.
The 'Deuteher Mueller" Berlin. says:
These turbines were brought to the no
tice of the modern world and quite gen
orally adopted in Europe from 1850 TO
1890 These Chaldees are not 10 be con-
founded with Me Chaldeans Of Messopo-
