NEW PAPER MONEY.

The days Of the crisp bank note may

important experiments which are now
being conducted in the presence Of
treasury officers are successful. They
are made for the purpose Of demon
strating the advantages Of a novel
chemical treatment for paper.
Under the new process it will take
sixty days less time to manufacture
bank note than under the present
method. The chemical solution not
only renders the paper soft and vel.
vety, but also makes it non-shrinkable.
The solution acts as an antiseptic and
preservative. When applied to old
documents, 1t seems to knit the fiber
together and prevent further decay.

thoroughly soaked in water. While ii

sary for the ink to dry. The sheet is
again soaked, as in the first instance,
and the reverse side Of the bill printed.
The thirty days drying process then
has to be repeated. In cases where a
third impression on the bill is neces-
sary, when the printing is done in two
colors, the wetting and drying process
then has to be repeated for a third
time, and another month is thus con.
sumed in it's production.
Besides the delay of this process, the
wetting and drying rot the fiber Of the
paper, and although it is "starched'
to give it the crisp appearance, the
starch soon wears out, and the bill be-
comes limp and worn.
In printing bills on paper that has
been treated by the new process no
wetting is necessary. The ink loses
none Of its luster when applied to the
paper, as it does under the old pro-
cess, and is thoroughly dry within for
ty-eight hours after the printing IL

In fact, man who wants to get one
hurts his chances by seeking It, On
the other hand, the world undoubted-
ly derives great benefit from the
award Of much smaller sums Of
money, which are offered by special
societies with the distinct under
standing that they are to be COM
peted for. Industrial and other
guilds in Europe have often adopted
these means to secure such discov-
cries as the best method of making
matches without phosphorus. There
are few prizes Of that class.
German papers report that the
Lombardy Institute of Science, Liter
allure and Arts has distributed the
scientific prizes for 1904, and has
announced new themes for 1905. A
gold medal for industries. which is
only given once in three years, was
awarded to Vermot & Reyna for
wagon springs and wagon axles. The
CagnOla prizes for essays with refer
ence to the velocity of cathode rays,
for a steering apparatus for airships,
and for an investigation to prevent
counterfeiting or forgeries, had to re-
main undistributed as we'll as various
other prizes. An award was made to
DR.. Cent for cure for the corn
disease (pellagra). For an essay on
miasmS and infection the noted ply
siologist Negri received the full prize
and a gold medal.
The Brambilla industrial prizes
were strongly competed for, and
three first and four second prizes
were awarded. These Brambilla
prizes are only given to further and
encourage the industries of Lom-
hardy. A prize was also given fer an
essay on the division of the meutal
activity of the brain.
Among the themes for the next
year are researches into tke following
subjects: Certain rock formations of
the Apennines; modern psychiatry;
phenomena Of catalysis; modern
knowledge of neurology; centres of
vision of the higher animals.
= Unawarded for a long time, and
therefore still on the list is the spec

French, must be handed in before
December 80, 1905. The award Of the
prizes will take place next year.

Debts We're Too Much.

The life story of the late Col. Charles
]. Ellis of Marinette is revealed in the
letter he left addressed to his wife just
before he shot himself. Col. Ellis told
his family that he could not bear the
burden of debt incurred since his removal
as commandant of the Waupaca Soldiers
Home. He. had a life policy of $4,000
and he instructed his wife to pay all his
debts, amounting to $1,000, from this and
to keep the rest for the family. The
soldiers reunion was just about to be
held there and he had no money to help
entertain his old comrades. This recalls
the statement made after the funeral by
former Gov. Edward Scofeld, that Col.
Ellis would still be alive and command
ant at Waupaca if he had not been SO
thoroughly honest and conscientious.

Seeks for Buried Treasure Near West
Denmark & Slew Himself on Account
of Debt Burden = Jealous Husband
Shoots Farmland.

The neighborhood a few miles west
OF West Denmark is severely wrought up
over the mysterious visit of a stranger
who claimed to be from Indiana. While
this was not the mans first appearance
IN this Badger community, his quest was
not known and generally talked about
till now. He went to the home of Henry
Shields, a farmer near West Denmark,
seeking board and lodging for few
days and asking permission to dig for a
treasure which he asserted was hidden
near a vacant house on one of Mr.
Shields farms. To this house is attached
a legend in which hobgoblins and sprites
of various sorts play a prominent part.
The stranger pretended to be in close
communion with these unnatural beings.
After making peculiar signs and gestures
as though talking in blind language to
some unseen parsonage, the Hoosier be-

STORIES ABOUT EAGLES.
A Battle With Stag-Knocking
Sheep Over Precipice.


Some years ago Sir Charles Nor
daunt witnessed in Scotland a strange
battle between an eagle and stag,
which completely dispels any theory
that the ornithologists may put for
ward as to eagles not attacking large
animals The bird singled out from
a herd one particular buck, which it
succeeded in driving from the rest.
1t struck the animal repeatedly with
it's powerful wings, knocked it down
and finally killed it. Baron Schroe
der witnessed still more remarkable
spectacle. An eagle attacked fawn
which was one of herd in the high
lands. The cries of the little one were
answered by its dam, which sprang
upon the eagle and struck it repeated
ly with it's forefeet. Fawn, deer and
eagle rolled headlong down decliv-
ity, and the bird was dislOdged from
it's hold and the fawn rescued. But
Sir Kenneth Mackenzie knows a more
thrilling story than either of these,
for, according to report, an eagle was
rent in twain during a battle in his
forest in Gairlock. Fidng his talOns
in the quarters of roe, the bird was
dashed against tree, to branch OF
which it endeavored to hold to stay
the flight of it's captive. The bird
was halved in an instant.
Many traditions are extant as to
eagles having carried off and devOur-
ed children. In the north Of England
the legend is perpetuated by the name
Of many an inn, the sign "The Eagle
and the Child" being common. The
most recent case bearing close scrut-
my appears to be one which occurred
in South Africa. A Boer farmer, liv-
ing on the veldt just beyond Barber
ton, whose stock had been harried by
eagles, lay in ambush for the aerial
robbers, and saw one of them de-
scend and carry off the five-year-old
child of one of his Kaffir servants.
He shot the bird, which, with the
child still clutched in it's grip, fell
into a thorn bush. The bird was dead
when picked up, but the babe was
little hurt. The eagle measured nine
feet from tip to tip of the wings.
Other stories are told to a similar
end, but appear less credible than
this one.
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself
the other beats about the bushes
with a great screaming, driving out
it's quarry for the hidden eagle to
sweep down and make an end of it.
An even more insiduous method has
been observed, when an eagle, detect
ing sheep on the edge Of a preci-
pice, flew at 1t screaming shrilly, and
with forceful beat of wing hurled it
into the valley below, where it could
devour it at it's leisure. There is
good reason for believing, after all,
the ancient legend as to the manner
in which Aeschylus, the Greek poet,
met his death. 1t is said that an
eagle dropped turtle on his bald
head. Algerian travellers are famil-
lar with the sight of eagles carrying
turtles and tortoises to a height and
dropping them upon rocks to break
the creatures shells and render the
flesh accessible.-The Scotsman.

After that, in sunshine and storm,
McGinty accompanied the doctor on
his rounds. While In the village he
always sat, dignity personiied, on
the buggy seat, but when the open
fields were reached, he would "run
out and play" as the doctor called
it, frisking at the mares side, chasing
butterflies, barking at squirrels. Soon
he became the pet Of the county, chill
dren watching at the windows to give
him a treasured. bone. while an old
lady patient made him an "overcoat"
for cold weather, and the shoemaker's
standing joke was the promise of top
boots for Christmas.
But McGinty's general popularity
was nothing compared with the grow.
ing intimacy betweens him and the
doctor who believed in keeping dogs
in their place. The last thing every
night the two frolicked together and
every morning "circus" in bed pre-
