Dew is a greater %respector OF col
ors. To prove this, take pieces OF
glass or board and paint them red, vel
low, green and black. Expose them
at night, and you will find that the
yellow will be covered with moisture,
the green will be damp, but that the
red and the black will be left per-
fectly dry.

The worlds production Of gold in
1906 was only 1902, PSI, 900. In the
next three years it increased fifty per-
cent to $306, 724, 100. In 1904 it was
$346, 1872, 200, and it has been steadily
increasing ever since. The increase
has been especially rapid in the Unit
ed States. The product of u gold
mines exceed $50, 900, 900 a year. We
keep almost all OF it at home-in the
six years ending with 1905 we had net
gold experts of only $10,833,510 to de-
duct from a total domestic product OF
nearly half a billion dollars. In this
time we used only about 100, 600, 00t
worth of gold in the arts, SO that we
had almost $500, 000, 900 to add to our
stock of money.

ARRESTS IN MURDER MYSTERY.
Victim May Have Been John Manno
Two Greeks Held

On the possibility that the dismembered
body of man found in three places west
of 18th avenue in New York city may have
been that of John Manno, detectives from
the West 37th street police station last
night arrested two men on a charge Of be-
Ing suspicious persons"
The arrested men are George Capenake,
twenty-four years old, and John Drandakes.
twenty-three, Greeks and partners in a con-
fectfonery business at No. 139 Sth avenue.
This they purchased from Manno six weeks
ago. Reasons given by the police for the
arrests are that Manno has disappeared and
descriptions Of him correspond TO that of
the body in the morgue so far as the trunk.
legs and arms are concerned, for the head
is still missing.
Drandrake and his partner admit frankly
they mad grievance against Manic grow
ing out Of the purchase of their present
business.
In a letter written by Manno from Bos-
ton to relative in New York he expressed
some fear and desired that differences
growing out of the sale be settled.
Drandrakes and Capenake against the as
sertion of policeman who tries their door
every night, declare they have no other
home than the store in which they do bust
ness. The police say there Is not sign of
a chair or bed in the place.
Their arrest last night followed a hard
days work by an army of detectives and
policemen.

raise the wind. All the fines collected from
law breakers were turned into it's treasury;
merchants and market men who gave short
measure or who were caught adulterating
their goods or made misrepresentation to
their customers were compelled to pay sums
of money, more or less according to the
enormity of their offense, to the support Of
the faculty. Also all persons who were
guilty of extortion, and money loaners who
charged usurious rates of interest A book
seller who demanded what was considered
an excessive price for the copy Of the
Psalms of David was compelled to pay 8
crowns; and at one time Calvin arbitrarily
suppressed a public banquet in the interest
of temperance and sobriety and confscated
the subscription funds which had been rails
ed for that purpose for the benefit of his
favored institution.
And yet the Lord prospered it and it grew
in influence and fame and prosperity, and
became. as Calvin hoped, the very fountain
head of the doctrines he taught.
During the stormy times previous to the
French revolution the institution had
great deal Of trouble. The students were

ASKS REMOVAL OF THAw CASE.
Counsel Wants Trial by the Supreme
Court

The application of Clifford w. Hartridge,
counsel for Harry K. Thaw, under indict-
ment for the murder of Stanford White, for
the removal of the trial Of Thawsfrom the
court of general sessions to the criminal
branch of the supreme court, was argued
before Justice Bischoff in New York yester-
day afternoon. At the conclusion Of the
hearing Justice Bischoff reserved his de-
cision.
In the argument John B. Gleason of coun-
ser for Thaw said:
IF there was ever a case where the trans-
fer should be made it is In this case. There
has been no killing that was SO public as
this. Most murders have been done in pri-
vate, but this killing was done in a public
place in sight of 1,O0O people, and the news
papers have carried column after cofumn of
the case"
Mr.. Gleason said that no criticism on the
lower court was meant by the application.
I'VE have repeatedly offered to move the
case in the supreme court he said. I'VE are
ready to try the case now, and yet the dis
trict attorney says that the trial cannot
come up until the middle of November This
case can be tried In the supreme court and
tried soon." Mr.. Gleason said that Thaw is
in direct hostility to the court of general
sessions and that the latter court was now
under a writ of prohibition of the supreme
court as to the method of the district attor-
ney in securing evidence for the prosecu-
tion

in similar manner. London controls the

SAND men are now engaged here in that
business. The factories are insignificant in
size and output compared with those at
Elg1n and Waltham, and they are mostly
engaged in the manufacture of fancy de-
signs and cheap watches. The music box
business Is also very large and vast duanti-
ties of jewelry are turned out here. The
river RhOne, which carries off the waters of
Lake Leman to the Mediterranean, is a
swift, transparent and noble stream, as
blue as indigo, which l am told Is due to
the fact that it carries so much sand in
solution. 1t rushes through the midst of the
city like torrent and Is more ornamental
| in the world, but it is very little used. An
unlimited amount of power is wasted. There
are a number Of factories along the banks
and the city government has big plant for
lighting and street car purposes.
You can get a better watch for less money
in the United States than you can buy in
Switzerland, and the prices of the jewelry
and precious stones offered for sale here
are 80, 40 and so per cent higher than in
New York or Chicago Notwithstanding
that fact, hundreds of thousands of dollars
are spent here and at the neighboring re-
sorts by Americans for watches, jewelry,
music boxes. furs and knick-knacks.
Several years ago a Washington lady
know bought in Geneva four of those mu-
steal cake trays which are SO arranged

are lifted the band begins to play. They
cost her S. each, and, being a conscientious
woman, she declared them in the custom
house and paid As per cent duty. which
brought them up to nearly $3.50 each
When she reached Philadelphia she gave
three of them to her sisters. But one Of
them seemed to be out of order and
wouldn't work. SO she took it to a store to
have it repaired.
Il can have it fixed for you, madam
said the clerk, but 1t Is a very delicate
job and will probably cost you more than a
new plate. Indeed, can sell you one just
like this for less money than we would
