How Gold Sweats:

''These millions will sweat them
selves considerably in the hold Of the
ship" said a Mint official, as he super
intended the slowing Of one OF the
recent imports Of gold.
Gold sweats," he resumed, "and it
sweats particularly hard at sea. When
this gold reaches the other side it will
be little lighter than it IS now. II
an inexperienced hand should weigh
it over there, he would say that some
of it had been stolen. It won't be
handled in Europe by the inexper-
fenced, though. 1t will be handled by
men who will know just what allow
ance to make for sweat.
"Gold sweat-the phrase has an at.
tractive sound, ell? If you ard 1
could sneak down into this ships hold
each day of the coming voyage. if we
could gather up the sweat from the
gold before it evaporated and was lost
would that be stealing?
"Well, any way, gold doesn't sweat
visibly. It's sweat is impalpable, and
you can't collect it. Attrition is the
name given to it by the scientists."-

changes in their systems. and in the
united States target practice has been
carried on so assduously that recently

When I asked If the great scheme
for Saharan empire had been given
up, my informant hesitated for mo-
ment, and then said:
II think can assure you that his
majesty will renounce the crown Of
Sahara. It has already given him 30
much trouble, and caused him 80 much
expense, that he has come to the con-
clusion it is too heavy to bear. M.

to be forgotten, and that is why he
has come here. He sees no one except

Operating expenses, already high,

first quarter Of the year by the severity
of the winter and the spring found many
OF the railways borrowing money for

penses and in their projects for the Inn
mediate future. Consequently many
plans for improvements and extensions
proposed by some Of the great railway
systems were suspended and are still
held in allegiance.
But In spite of all this no less than

TERRIER ATTACKS A LION.
Recent Exploring Expedition in At
RIGA Marked by Some Thrill
ing Experiences.

A recent exploring expedition along
tho boundaries of British East Africa
killed 80 lions and had some thrilling
adventures. Capt. Maud, who was in
command, writes in the Philadelphia
Inquirer: Baird had a few days be-
fore been mauled by lion. The brute
charged out from patch of brush and
Baird's shot failed to stop him. The
next moment the lion had knocked
him down and was mauling him.
"Baird's fox terrier James. which had
hitherto had well-merited reputation
for discretion. performed prodigies Of
valor and positively found his way into
the lions mouth. But he was not Of
his majesty's taste, and was elected,
strangely enough, with little hurt.
Meanwhile Baird's two shikaris be-
haved splendidly. One caught the lion
by the tail and pulled, while the other
very coolly shot him through the
heart Baird had several wounds, some
of them deep. but the miracle of his
escape as we'll as that Of James was
explained when 1t was seen that the
lions jaw had been broken by Baird's

PAPERS HAVE ODD NAMES.
Russian Publications Are Not Blessed
with Very Businesslike
Cognomens.

The strange thing about Russia's pop

clares the Boston Herald. Strekosa

lications. A paper which was started
In Moscow some years ago was chris
tened Beelezbub. Tchernilnttsa (The
Inkbottls) was the name Of another.
Russian popular papers have, as q
rule, small Calculations. Like the daily
papers, they are subject to the censor,
who stops the sale for time or alto
gether II, In trying to be funny, any
thing offensive to the authorities is al
lowed to appear. Many papers are sub
jsct to what is known as the preventive
censurs;" that Is, the editor must
submit everything to the authorities be-
fore publication. A censor who allows
any serious anti-governmentai hint to
escape Is dismissed from his post for
neglect; but this does not prevent tho
editor also being punished.
