Two Rhode Island Men Announces Re

Two Newport (R. T. men, Thomas
SCockings and = homas Rees, who for
/ five years have been toiling to Wrest from
! nature the secret OF making gold IN pay
ing quantities, claim to have at last re-
allied the hope OF their lives. The last
assay that was received by them recently
! shows that their product ran SO ounces
Ito the ton Of material used AS gold
is worth $2060 per ounce, this would
male 9 ton Of product treated worth
81, ,030, and they claim that there is big
money in their discovery at this rate. 2.
Sometime age. their;experiments were
investigated by men interested in them.
At that time the assays did not show
that the gold could be produced in pay
ing quantities. :7E Their experiments
started as the result of a friendly de-
bate, and have continued nearly every
day during the past five years One OF
the most serious drawbacks to their
work has been to find crucibles that will
stand the intense heat necessary to re-
duce the materials used in the produc-
tion OF, the precious metal
They showed a graphite crucible
costing $3.50, which is warranted tc

of which has been completely fused out
Cockings is an employe of the Newport
rolling mill, and Rees is an expert lith,

The basic metal used in the transmu-
tation is silver nitrate and the conten-
tion of the men, borne out by the results
of their experiments. is that silver car
be transformed into a metal higher in

URGES TEACHERS TO WE'D.
German Leader Advocates Marriage
as Means to Aid Cause of
Public Education.

Marriage as a means of fostering
public education was advocated at the
reception recently given in New York
by the Society of Educational Re-
search in honor of Drs. Won Seeberg,
Duncker and Kuypers. Dr. Won See
berg and DR.. Duncker are privy coun-
ciiors of the German government and
members Of the German ministry of
commerce. DR.. Kuypers is superinten-
lent of schools at Dusseldorf. They
have been investigating public school
methods in various parts of America.
DR.. Duncker spoke in high praise of
the American system of education las
he and his colleagues had found it.
He had discovered, he said, that
American instructors teach pupils not
to depend too much on others, but to
help themselves.
DR.. Kuypers said he was greatly
impressed with the desire of the
American teachers to perfect them
selves In their art, and especially as
they would be in their profession only
for q short period. He sail he could
not understand how so many attract
i've women teachers could be induced
to stick to their work, and thought it
would be an excellent thing If they
could be persuaded to marry and then
interest their husbands in educational
work. - - .5 :

GREWSOME FAD OF GIRLS.
Lively Young Milwaukee Women
Shock Friend by Being Photo
graphed in Funeral Array.

There is set Of lively young women
n milwaukee who have an entirely
new fad-being photographed in a
ccffin. Grewsome pictures of pretty
girls laid out in garments of the dead
are much priced in their collections,
though they are extremely shocking
to persons of nervous temperament
and fine sensibilities.
A young woman who had been
through the ordeal said that she had
q friend who is an undertaken, and
she had her picture taken in his shop,
lying in q casket lined with white vel
vet and dressed in white. The under
taker folded her hands and placed
flowers around her, and she said that
when the picture appeared she looked
prettier than she had ever looked be-
fore, which may be one of the reasons
Why she prizes the picture 50 highly
now.
A friend Of hers has pictures of what
she calls her heroic group One of
them represents q sick bed with the
relatives weeping over the dying girl.
Another represents a body just laid
out, and the third is that of a young
girl in a casket. The group is enough
to give case of nerves" to the most

are well taken, and, from an artistic
point of view, leave but little to be
