The fact that two houses in the
neighborhood have been entered in the
last few days, and that in one case
the burglar fired upon the occupant of
the house, has seriously alarmed the
neighborhood.
Almost every one has prepared now
in case burglars should again try to
operate there. In neither case did
the burglars succeed in getting any,
thing, as they were discovered soon
after entering the houses.

No profession is so little crowded and none offers a more inviting field uo the conscientious and jealous student. That forestery, as a science essential to the we'll being of the nation, :s steadily growing in popular. favor is evidenced by the increasing number of schools and professorships of forestry that are established The latest pro- fessorship is that at the agricultural college at Anes, Ia, called the Iowa State college. To fill this position i, has chosen Hugh F.

He will lecture at the college half of each year on general forestry in it's applic;l- tlon, to Iowa conditions.

OPALIZED SHARK IN
 NEW SOUTH WALES

Since they were first discovered the famous opal fields at White Cliffs, New South Wales, have yielded many curious fossils, particularly those of prehistoric marine life.
 But the latest discovery is a most extraordinary one, and will prove of the deepest interest to the scientific world. It is that of fossilized, or rather opaHzed, member of the shark family, which was found on Block No 9, at a depth of thirty-fve feet from the sur face. The Sydney press states that the specimen measures three feet six inches from the snout to the tip of the tail. The body is i'll seven sections, the circumfe of the largest of which (the head and shoulder portionl is eighteen inches; each section is six inches in length.
 The deeply indented eye sockets show very plainly. ..and thin veins of purple opal encircle the fish from tip to tip" At the mouth these veins make an ob- long and clearly defined course, though the continuity. is occasionally broken. No particulars as to weight are given,

RARE COINS ALL coRNERED
It Is Only the Burglars That Keep Any of Them in Cir
 culation.

The passion for making collections oi articles of various kinds, and particu. larly stamps and coins, is like hope. Ii springs eternal in the human breast says the New York Sun.
 You would be surprised" said pro. fessional collector of coins and stamps Sto know how many utterly worthless specimens are brought to me by persons who perhaps have treasured them fol long and then, needing money, have come to me expecting to be handsomely paid for an article that really has nc commercial value whatever. Sometimes indeed, 1 have paid good prices for worthless articles of no use to me at all to save their owners from the disap- pointment which could plainly see re- fusal would cause them.
 Why, handle op an average pretty nearly 800 specimens day, both of stamps and coins, brought in here by people who expect them to be literally worth their weight in gold. Yet in spite of the great number of specimens coming into my hands in this way every year, it's only about once in three years that I find anything of real value.
 You see, it's just this way Hardly any good rare coins or stamps are cir culating at large. Almost everything has been picked up by collectors; and if you follow up any rare issue, you can place almost every one-either find the owner or account for the issue.
 And you will be surprised, perhaps, when tell you that we are indebted to burglars for most of what we do find. One of the light-fngered gentry lifts some rare old coins; he has no senti- mental fondness for them based on age and possible associations, and he is un- able to make any use of them. So he rids himself of the worthless and possi- bly, dangerous and discriminating arti- cles; and in that way they drift into our hands.
 Not long ago child went into a candy shop with nickel she had found. The old woman who kept the shop took the nickel without noticing its queer ap- pearance, but later she saw that, 1t was not as other coins are, and she brought it to me-
 T found it to be a nickel of 1856, of which only a few were issued, as an ex- perimental form. gave the old woman $5 for her flve-cent piece, and she went away rejoicing.

 Henry Gassaway Davis, the demo- cratic candidate for vice president, says a writer in Leslie's Monthly, found his first advancement when he secured the, coveted position of brake man on a freight train onathe NBalti more and Ohio railroad. It was not long before he was advanced to the more responsible position of freight conductor, responsible ip these days, but far more so, relatively, in those. At twenty four he was again pronIot- ed, this time to the position of super 1ntendent dn charge of the running of all the trains. He introduced an in novation which marked a decided ad- vance step in railroading. Up to that time, it had not been considered practicable to run trains at night; when nightfall came, freight trains and passenger trains alike were .,tied up" their journeys to be resumed only when daylight came. Davis held there was no good reason why they should not be run by night as well as by day, and proved it. His first night train from Cumberland to Baltimore marked an important epoch in rail roading.

"The display of great military arma-

'Of course such arm ament as may be necessary for the security of the country and the pro- tection of the rights of it's citizens, at home or abroad, must be maintained. protest, however, against the feeling that, by reason of the commanding position we have assumed in the world, we must take part in the dis putes and broils of foreign countries; and that beacuse we have grown great we should intervene in every import ant question that arises in other parts of the world"

One of the interesting features of the United States government buildir g at the St Louis exposition is the in,- proved rural mail delivery, as shown by the unique use of moving pictures. The mail carrier is seen to drive up to country homes, stop his team, get out, deliver the mail and receive mail from the residents of the farm houses. The pictures, made from photographs, often show tic country women and children rushing out to get mail, their faces radiant with hope and eager expec- tancy. One of the rural mail hacks is accompanied by a collie dog, which trots along under the wagon, the nov ing pictures giving it the appearance of life. One scene shows a country woman buying a stamp and exchang- ing q little gossip with the mail car rier. The pictures are so real that te watch them makes one seem to be en- toying drive through country lanes. Worlds fair visitors find these muto- scopes equal to a show, and there is always a crowd viewing the pictures.
