which the joint authors will have as a
further basis for their work not only
their own personal recollections of their
greatly distinguished father, but also
the "reminiscences Of those who for
many years were closely and intimate

Sir Henry could not, we feel, have
placed this work in better hands. Not
only will his sons enter upon their task
with the fullest sympathy and with the
ardent earnestnesS that are both so
necessary IL work Of biography is to
hold the public as well as charm it, but
they will both bring to bear upon it a
ripe experience and scholarly attain

actor, for he has written, besides nu-
merous interesting articles in the mag

namely, "Ihe Life Of Judge Jeffreys"
and "F'rench Criminals Of the Nine

written several plays, notably Robes

and 'sLovelace."
The life of Sir Henry Irving would
naturally take some considerable time
to complete even if the authors were
able to devote their entire time to 1t.
This they cannot do for both are busy
in their profession, but we understand
that a beginning will be made with the
work practically at once and that it

WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Manufacture Of Gun FIints-Still
Used in Africa and Asia.

Probably the Oldest established BUSH
ness in the world is at Brandon, in Suf-
folk, where the manufacture of gum
1ints has been carried on as the sue
cessor to the prehistoric manufacture
of arrow heads from the same mate
rial 1t is estimated that for more than
ten thousand years flint working has
been carried on at that spot; the only
change made since those early days be-
ing in the introduction Of metal tools
for working the fints in place of the.
stone and horn OF the average.
Gun flints are still in use in various
parts of Asia and Africa, where the
possession Of percussion cartridges is
forbidden to the natives. The average
weekly production is still 15O,0OO,
though in the days when the flint lock
was the universal arm millions were
turned out weekly, since Brandon is
noted as producing the best fiints made.
Gun 1ints are not the only product,
however, for in Latin Europe the
'strikea-light" is still given the pref
erence over matches, and of these about
twenty thousand a week are manufac-
tured for the Italian and Spanish trade.
During the Boer war $4,000 fiints were
issued to the British troops and were
found valuable in emergencies where
the ordinary match would not have
served.
The strata of flint are in five layers
on Lingheath Common, a mile south
east of the village. Each miner works
by himself, employing the same meth
DDS as were followed by the earlier
workmen, the ground being uncovered
in layers or steps," that the dirt may
be carried away without the use OF
windlass and buckets.
The product is sold to the clippers,
who work at their homes in the village.
In spite of the fact that each blow OF
the hammer is from different angle
and is struck, with various force, the
workman instinctively guides the chisel
and the flakes fall into the baskets in
an almost continuous stream. They
are shaped with a chisel-like hammer
on a block Of iron and are then packed
into barrels containing from 5000 to
20 900 each.

INSURANCE UPHEAVAL.
How the Investigation Was Started
by Two News paper Reporters.

How the Investigation Was Started
by Two Newspapers Reporters.
There would have been no investiga-
ton OF the Insurance companies had it
not been for the recent disclosures
made by David Ferguson, a reporter
for the New York World, who began
by prodding the officers of the Equita-
Die about James HaZen Hyde,s Cambon
dinner and other evidences Of ruinous
waste. says Success Magazine for De-
cenber. At the outset Ferguson was
laughed at by the men he approached.
Hyde and Alexander, the two heads of
the Equitable. denied everything-de-
nied that there was any factional up-
rising in the Equitable or the slightest
unfriendliness between Mr.. Hyde and
Mr.. Alexander. But the reporter kept
on prodding and digging patiently un-
til he gained the confidence of some
one on the inside whose name will
probably never be known.
From that time on Ferguson had the
situation in his own hands, and what
followed is thoroughly known to the
0ACI ASdh PuOiIC lOOdy, AdFIuS ISOUllCO
In the greatest upheaval ever known
In the history of American finance.
Compelled by the persistent revelations
Ferguson was making to undertake an
investigation, Francis Hendricks, SUI
perintendent of insurance for the state
Of New York, filed away lengthy
document containing the testimony he
had taken, and it remained for Louis
Seibold, another World reporter, to
procure copy Of this secret report,
which made the longest "story" ever
run" in newspaper about a single
ncident-112,O0O words.
1t Is still matter Of keenest specula-
ton among the newspaper men of New
York how Seibold obtained possession
Of copy Of state document, and it
will probably be mystery forever.
Reporters Of Seibold's type never be-
tray condolences. Were the secrets of
Messrs. Ferguson and Seibold known
concerning the great insurance expos
ure they would undoubtedly make good
reading, but these men made pledges
Of confidence for the public good, and
1t goes without saying that those
pledges will die with them.
