THAT PEARL NECKLACE.
Mr.. Reynolds Says No Decision Has
Yet Been Made.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Rey-
nolds. who went to New York on Friday
to consult with the customs officials about
the $4,000 string of pearls imported for
Mrs. w. B. Leeds. has returned and re-
ported that the controversy over the duty
Is still unsettled The government first
collected $4,000 on the classification Of
the jewels as loose pearls" and later
demanded 100000 more after deciding
that they should pay 60 per cent duty
as ga necklace instead Of 10 per cent, as
was at first thought sufficient. The pearls
were placed In safe deposit vault by the
owner, M. Cttreon, who announced his in
tention OF fighting the case to the last
ditch, as he was afraid that If 100000 were
added to the asking price Mr.. Leeds, who
expects to buy the pearls for his wife.

THE government still demands its 60
per cent" said Secretary Reynolds this
morning. Monsieur Citreon Is coming to
Washington again tomorrow or next day
to make another effor. to change our
minds. but do not think he will be sue

to purchase the pearls now lest he get into

MILITIA OFFICERS.
Acting Secretary Of War divers NO
tfce to Them

Acting Secretary Oliver has issued a
long notice to the militia officers of the
various states and territories telling them
In detail how they may avail of the bene-
Its conferred by recent legislation. The
principal point made Is that at least
twenty-five per cent OF the funds allotted
by the general government for the use of
the national guard must be- expended for
rifle practice. Title for all lands pur-
cilased with government funds for use as
rifle ranges must be vested absolutely In
tho United States. the states figuring mere
ly as trustees.
Condsmnations OF property are to be
made hereafter by single officer instead
of by cumbersome board Where prop
erty is lost or destroyed through careless
ness the cost of the same will be deducted
from the allowance OF the state for the
next year This last provision Will, 1t Is
believed. result in causing many of the
militia organizations now without suitable
armories to provide themselves with such.
On the whole the new regulations are an
amplifcation of those laid down in 1908
after the enactment Of the Dick militia bill.

The Denationalizing Policy.

This movement confirms the long known
fact that the Russian governments dena-
tionalizing policy with respect to the Polish
peasant has failed, and will fail as long as
that country can depend upon men whose
patriotism is second to none" concluded the
diplomat. This failure. I must add. is per-
ceiyed with irritation by the bureaucratic
spheres. After the crushing of the Polish
revolution back In 1854, the Russian minis
try was uncertain as to the side on which
the Polish peasant would stand. Today, on
the other hand, forty-two years after the
government sees clearly that the peasant
stands in a body seven million strong for

YERKEs STORY WITH MORAL.

How Traction Magnate Answered

Mr.. Yerkes was once answering the

to him, do riches mean happinessT

Schultz was just one of those happy
go-lucky fellows whom everybody loved,
but who never had a dollar to his
name, while Benson was one of those
near men that just thought of nothing
but accumulating money. He went
back to his Office after his supper,
which he took at 6 o'clock, and worked
there till midnight, and he was there
again next morning and, in short, he
thought of nothing but money, money.

An electric resistance furnace was

tion of iron. He took a piece of pure,
soft iron and cut slit along its length.
The slit was filled with diamond dust,
which was prevented from falling out
by fine iron wire. The portion of the
wire containing the dust was wrapped
In mica. The wire thus charged was
heated quickly to redness by the cur
rent from a battery. On opening the
wire Pepys found that the diamond
dust had disappeared and that around
where 1t had been the wire had been
converted to steel-London Engineer.

CASKS DRIFT ACROSS POLE.

Proving Once More that an Arctic
Current Flows Over North Pole.
Two Of the drift casks which were
set loose in Behring Sea at the insti-
CATION Of President Henry G. Bryant OF
the Geographical Society Of Philadcl-
phia and Of Admiral George w. Mel
vile some years ago have been recov-
cred. One of them was found on the
coast Of Iceland, $500 miles from the
point where it was cast overheard on
the Alaskan coast. In Its tnrtuous
course it probably Travelled 1000 miles.
Its drift across the Arctic Ocean proves
once more the existence Of an arctic
current flowing from Behring Sea
across the north pole region.
Fifty spindle-shaped casks were con-
structed from designs submitted by Ad-
miral Melville and were sent north on
United States revenue cutters and whal-
ing ships to Behring Strait and there
dropped overheard in 1885, 1900 and
1901.
Each cask was numbered and con-
tained a message in four languages re-
questing the finder to notify the Geo
graphical Society Of Philadelphia If
the cask turned up.
An examination of the first record
shows that it was cast adrift by Cap
tain f. Tuttle Of the United States rev.
enue cutter Bear ON Aug. 81, 1901,
about eighty-fve miles northwest of
Wrangel Island and recovered by Cap
tain A. G. Christianson on Aug. II,
1902, near the mouth of Koyluching
Bay, on the Siberian coast. 1t is evi-
dent that this particular cask did not
get a good start, an6 N the one year
