there, and the boys and various socie-
ties OF St. Patrick's which have met in
Carroll Hall have been offered the use
of the Rifles Armory by it's present oc-
cupants.
One of the chief and interesting fea-
lures of the proposed new school build
ing viii be an auditorium seating 1000
persons. The hall will occupy the en-
tire ground floor, and viii be adequate
ly equipped with every convenience
known to the modern theater. These
will include a large stage. supplied with
all facilities for adjusting modern seem
cry. head and foot lights, electrical az
pliances, and other requirements. Dress
ing rooms will be fitted up as complete
as they are in modern theaters, and
Washington will be supplied with a hall
adapted to private theatricals or any
other form of entertainment.
DIR. Stafford said yesterday that he
expects the building to be completed in
time for the opening of the fall school
term next September.

SOME UNIQUE FEATURES
OF DISTRICT SCHEDULE
Peculiar Entries in Expense Account Which May
Be Reckoned for in Several Different Ways

That the administration Of the affairs
of municipality is . complicated pro-
ceeding, and that as a composite whole
IT consists of many unique but essential
features. is evidenced by the schedule Of
contingent expense items for the last
fiscal year, just submitted to Congress
by the District Commissioners
For instance. on September 90 1902,
the following item appears: Forage for
harbormaster, S37.66. This is the first
inkling the general public has had that
Harbornaster Sutton subsists on a hay
diet, but as this is the only item OF its
kind during the entire year. it would
seem that the harbormaster's board bill
is not much of a burden.
Another entry, which DR.. Woodward
will have some difficulty in explaining
10 the Appropriations Committee in
Congre SIS. appears February 10. 1903. as
follows: Rubber boots for Health Of
fee. 81. TO-" The entry is obscure in that
no mention is made Of the size Of the
boots the Health Office wears. Further
more. it car be shown that the Health
Office has not left the District Building
for many years. and consequently could
have had no use for rubber boots. 1t
Is probable that the Commissioners
meant House slippers for the Health
Office"
on June Is. 1893, is recorded Door
Bolts. 90" AS this date is Immediately
subsequent to the discovery Of the Wat
son alleged defaleation Of $4,000. It
looks as If the Commissioners wished 10
lock the stable after the horse had gone
Perhaps the bolts were placed on tne
inside of the doors TO prevent MI Wat
son from getting back into the Distrlct
Offices
The Washington times., 1904-01-17

Still more significant is an entry on
April s. For cleaning and oillng safes.
So As this was just prior to the dis
covery of Mr.. Watson's alleged pecula-
tions, IL may be assumed that Mr.. Wat
son was the official cleaner. but the
audit slip shows the s. was paid to a
local hardware firm. There is nothing
TO show that Mr.. Watson received any
extra compensation for alleged services
to the safes.
A harness punch cost the District
25 cents on June q. tt Is understood
that it was delivered in the solar piexus
Again there IS nothing 60 show whether
or not Mr.. Watson made the delivery.
Every tenth item on the schedule is
for Gas" This commodity was accu-
mulated IN the winter OF 190e-1s0s and
used the following summer IN a vain
endeavor on the part Of the Commis-
sfoners to explain away the myriad dis
closures of loose government which ap-
peared almost daily in The Times.
At this stage there appears a charge OF
$50 . for subscription 10 The Times.
which is believed TO prove that the Com
nissioners were anxious to keep IN
touch with local current events
On February It was discovered that
the wheels of administration were
screeching upon ananOlnted axles, and
an entry on that date SHOWS e.aAe 49,

4 LOST ART.
Che Blend of Metals Which Certain
Races Used For Tools

Races Used For Tools.
Fame and fortune await the lucky in
dividual VITO can rediscover the com
bination of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas
Of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reached
a high state of civilization. none of
them ever discovered iron in spite of
the fact that the soil of all three coun-
tries was largely impregnated with it.
Their substitute for it was a combina-
ton of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf-
fed scientists and has become a lost
art. The great explorer, Humboldt,
tried to discover it from an analysis
Of a chisol found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but ali that he could find
out was that it appeared to be COM
bination of small portion of tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the hardness of steel, so it is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might have been the nature of the me-
Gallic combination, these ancient races
were able so to prepare pure copper
that it eQualed in temper the finest
steel produced at the present day by
the most scientifically approved proc
ess. With their bronze and copper liz.
struments they We're able to quarry
and shape the hardest known stones,
such as granite and porphyry, and
even cut emeralds and like substances.
A rediscovery of this lost art would
revolutionize many trades In which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
If copper could thus be tempered now
Its advantage over steel would be very
great, and it would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. 1t is curious fact that, though
this lost secret still battles modern sci
entists, it must have been discovered
independently by the three races which
made use of it SO long ago.-New York
