HANDLING OUR MONEY.

One would think, from reading
about our sapieut CITY officials and
hearing them talk of sending aft,r
the 5000, 900 bond money, that we were
living in the dark and desperate Nine
teentn century, when everything was
carried by stage coach or by messenger
on horse back. These up-to-date busi-
ness men who adorn our boards seem
never to have heard Of banks or tx-
press companies, hence they are nov
see-sswing between 8 proposition &c

5000, 900 to Psducah, snd one to have
the president of the bank at Oincin-
All come down and bring it with him.
OF course the latter is an accommo-
dating fellow with plenty of time, aud
nothing would please him better than
60 chuck a couple OF hundred thousand
INTO bis old carpet sack and bring j,
down 20 Psnucah. Certainly IL be
knew how the Paducsh officials were
worked up over it he would com
without delay.
The general council seems not to
have known that there was that much
money in the world. 5000, 00Ol Holy
smoke. it's too much money for them
t. taluk atoutl No wonder they can't
mike up their minds what they are
going to do with it, and want to hang
onto il forever They didn't know so
mucn money was in existence, aud
they hate to let it go.
II our able statesmen, however,
would make an investigation, they
would ascertain that the express COM
panies carry thousands and millions of
dollars without an accident or the loss
of q penny. They carry government
funds all over the country, sometimes
millions at time. Yet our mayor
and council seem to think that moth
ing is safe to handle our sZOO,OOo!
Most of the express companies could
buy and sell Paducsb. They some
times handle for days at time more
money than the whole Of McCracken

stop making laughing stocks of them

STRENGTH OF GUN STEEL.
Metal in Larger weapons Can Resist
Pressure of 10000 Pounds
Per square Inch.

There is going on at the present time
a steady advance in the strength of the
metal used in guns. The elastic strength
of metal now commonly used in larger
guns is about $4,000 pounds per square
inch, and in the smaller guns it runs as
high as $4,000 pounds per square inch.
This, however, is used only as an add
uonal margin of safety, largely because
the recoil of guns when fired is so great
now, and the reaction thereby set up in
the carriage is so severe that nothing
would be gained by tightening the gun.
Tightening the gun, says the Scientific
American. would only mean putting ad-
ditional weight. and perhaps a weight
greater than that saved, in the gun
carriage and foundation. Many are OF
the opinion that the advance in the
strength of gun steel should be pushed
further, but II would be hard to do this
without lowering TO some extent the
elongation asked for In the metal at rup-
ture. This now runs in the neighbor-
hood Of Is to q. per cent, and it could
wisely be lowered for the sake of gain
ing harder and stronger metal. because
the entire operation of the gun is within
its elastic limit. When It moves out
side of this and becomes permanently
enlarged, a comparatively slight en-
largement would give warning and the
gun would be laid aside and not used
any mora

RUNS A MOUSE FARM.
A Washington I'D. c. Woman En-
barks in Business of Breeding
Fancy Rodents for Profit.

Breeding white, piebald black, and
Japanese mice is the latest household
industry which is receiving attention.
A woman living on the northern out
skirts of the city, says the Washington
Post, has embarked in the business
quite extensively The mice sell whole
sale al the rate Of so per 100, and reg
ularly, once every week, she delivers
SO Of them TO the leading bird and ami
NAL dealer. who sends them out to his
customers In this and other cities. In
this way she earns S5 every week. and
S2l and 500 per week from the 9th
er sales of her mice II would be hard
to imagine easier money than the S.
which she receives weekly for her
dwarf cattle" The rearing Of fancy
mice involves little or no work and
the proceeds are for the most part pure
gain. She has at her home part of a
large room partitiOucd on and the
floor covered with straw and earth.
This is her mouse farm II must no
cleaned now and then and new straw
and earth put in for the mice hut aside
from this her only care is 10 feed them
twice por day and Keep their basin full
of fresh water. The mice increase at
such a rapid rate that by selling 80 ev-
cry week she is able TO keep the num-
Der down to about the original limits.
