American Soldiers Valuable Moiar:
Made by Filipino Dentist from
Twenty-DoIlar Piece.

A recentlySretHrned soldier from the
Philippines has, according to the New
York Times, excited the curiosity OF a
WeIl-knewn New York dentist by set
of five false teeth made of hammered
gold in one piece. He wears them in
the right side of his mouth. They were
made in the Philippine islands while
Linkey was in active service during the

Friars in the Philippines.

Late advices from the Philippines
state that the church question is .prac-
tically settled. The friar lands ques-
ton, from having been paramount
issue, has become a dead one and the
friars themselves back number
There are only about 800 of them. Left
in the islands, and they are not IN n
position to give any trouble. The pur-
chase of their lands by the govern
ment rounds out an epoch and re-
deems the chief promise of the United
States to the natives. The three Amer
lean bishops now there are reorgan-
izing the Catholic church on American
lines and cooperating heartily with
the civil authorities in promoting the
education of the natives. Altogether,
q great work has been done, and the
foundation laid for still greater prog

Late one evening a very much fius-

hand and an overcoat in the other,
dashed up to the ticket window of .

''Will you kindly tell me what time

The ticket agent looked inquisi-

The Transmission of Intelligence.
one of the most important features of
this invention sa' d Mr.. Tesla. will be the
transmission of intelligence. 1t Will con-
vert the entire earth into huge brain,
capable Of responding in every one OF its
parts. BY the employment of a number of
plants. each of which can transmit signals
to all parts of the world, the news of the
globe will be flashed to all points. A cheap
and simple receiving device, which might be
carried in ones pocket. can be set up any
where on sea or land, and ii will record the
world s news as il occurs. or take such Spe-
cial messages as are intended for ii. If
YOU are in the heart of the Sahara, your
wife can telegraph to you from Washing
ton, and If the instrument is properly made
you alone will get the message. A single
plant of few horse power could operate
hundreds of such instruments. SO that the
invention has an infinite working capacity
