WeII ~ Paper.
"The weight Of money Is very de
ceptiYe," said an employee of the treas
ury. "For instance. young man came
In here one day with young woman.
l was showing them through the de-
partment and happened - ask him II
he thought the young girl was worth
her weight in gold. He assured me
that be certainly did think so, and
after learning that her weight was lO6
pounds we figured that she would be
worth in gold s2s,647. The young man
was fond enough OF her TO think that
was rather cheap.
Another thing that deceives many
people" be continued, lis the weight
of paper money. Now, how many one
dollar bills do you think 1t would take
20 weigh as much as one nve dollar
goldpieceT
On a guess the visitor said tifty, and
the clerk laughed.
I 81 have heard guesses on that" he
said, ''all the way from 80 TO 500
and from men who have handled
money for years The fact OF the mat
tel is that with a five dollar goldpiect
on one scale you would only have e
put six and One-half dollar bills on this
other scale 90 balance It.
'The question afterward was put e
several people and elected answers al
the way from 20 to 1000, the majority
| guessing from 800 20 800.
Taking the weight OF gold coins an'
bills given at the treasury. It was hgur
ed that FIVE dollar goldpiecs weigh
.296 Of an ounce avoirdupois. The em
ployee at the treasury who handles
the paper money said that 100 bill
weigh four and one half ounces. Iha
would make one bill weigh .45 OF a
ounce. and between six and seven bill
would balance the goldpiece.
on the proposition OF how mue
money one can lift, figures were oil
tained at the treasury. Where certai

BIG FIRE AT SOUR LAKE, TEX.
Fears That Many Persons Perished in
the Flames

A dispatch from Sour Lake. Tex, says:
A destructive fire swept this place Sunday
and DESTROYED the main business portion of
the town, causing an estimated loss of
500 900 The fire began in the second
story of the First National Bank building.
Whether there was any loss of life will
probably never be known. Hundreds of
women and men, half of whose names were
practically unknown. roomed. in the sec
ond story of the buildings that were de-
stroyed and several persons could have
been burned to death and never be missed.
Screams were heard at different times
when il looked as IL an exit from the burn
ing buildings impossible, but the de-
struction was SO complete that no charred
remains can be found. or il they were,
could not be identified
After the fire had ragged for two hours
and destroyed four of the principal bust
ness blocks of the town the efforts of the
fire department, assisted by hundreds of
volunteers and many others pressed into
service. finally prevailed and the fire was
gotten under control.
The flames, however were carried to
the block north and for a time the Cannon
tract, with its $50 oil wells. was threat
ened with destruction. This catastrophe
was averted by a squad of volunteer fire
men, who, with buckets and axes, re-
moved the fuel from the fires path.

A movement is making for an agreement

it be known that it contemp1ates consld-
cradle increase of the duties on imported
meats which would, of course, fall prin-
cipally upon American meats. An effort on
the part of Ambassador Porter to secure
the minimum rates for the American GOODS
disclosed the fact that some concession
must be made in return by the United
States and it is intimated that the French
government might be satisfied with
twenty per cent abatement of the duty on
one of the greatest French staples imported
into the United States.
Having in mind the situation in the Sen
ate in regard to the French reciprocity
treaty the State Department officials con-
cluded that it would be useless to embody
this new French concession in treaty form
as it would also probably fail to receive
the Senate's approval. So a recourse has
been had to Section 3, of the Dingley Tar
if Act and if this projected arrangement
sS0uld take shape Qt being now merely
tentative proposition) the outcome would be
one of the commercial agreements which
will require no action on the part of the
United States Senate. Representatives of
other European nations than France are
keenly interested in the success of this I'M
dertaking.
