FILES RECORD 1eo YEARS OLD.
Chicago Man Clears Title to Lands
 in Massachusetts.

Cambridge, Mass.-A document has been filed at the probate court here. that was just 160 years late in reach ing its destination. Edward A. Hill, of Chicago, handed the paper to the registrar of probate. It is yellow with age, yet in a fair enough state of preservation to be easily read.
 It is the report of the commission CTS appointed by Samuel Danforth, judge of the probate court for the county of Middlesex, to arrange the division of the estate of Abraham Hill, of Cambridge, The commissioners wrote out their report, and it is dated November 21, 1746. This paper. among a lot of others. was handed through succeeding generations until it finally passed into the hands of MT. Hill
 The property owned by Abraham Hill at that time embraced a great deal of land in Arlington and Belmont The record turned over by Mir Hill will have no effect upon the titles of property in either town except to greatly simplify matters and to clear titles

GOOD LUCK" FOR DYING TREE
Horseshoe Thrown on Limb, Horse Chestnut Thrives as Never Before.

Canton, O.-It was good luck for the large horse chestnut tree on the front lawn of the Chance home, in North Cleveland avenue, when an old horseshoe was thrown over one of the limbs many years ago. The own- CT of the tree was not superstitious, but the late Peter Chance could not understand why the trees in his yard were dying.
 MT Chance had just cut down one of the best ones, when it's mate, the horse chestnut, showed symptoms of the same trouble. One day an old horseshoe was found in front of the house and thrown over one of the lower limbs so that it touched the main trunk The tree showed signs of life At any rate it did not die, and to-day it is the best tree on the lawn. The edges of the horseshoe can still be seen protruding through the bark.
 4 member of the Chance family said: Of course. the horseshoe had nothing to do with the recovery of the tree, but it was good luck The shoe has been on for 25 years now"

HEAVIEST TWIN TEACHERS.
Mount Joy (Pa.) Also Has OIdes,
 SchooIma'ams in State.

Mount Joy, Pa-Of the more than 800 schoolma ans in Lancaster county none are more widely known and more popular than Name and Louisa Kuhns, twin sisters, of Mount Joy. They were born in Mount Joy 53 years ago. and are the daughters of MT. and Mrs. John kuhns.
 Both started as pupils in the Mount Joy public schools on the same day and sat together during their school years. They were graduated together and both began teaching school at the same time, in the same building in which they received their education For 36 years they have been teaching. and it is said that the grandchildren of some of their first scholars are now among their pupils.
 Their aggregate combined weight is 501 pounds, and it is said they bal ance each other in weight within a few pounds. It is almost needless to say that they are able to handle sue cessfully all the bad boys.

A HOOS|ER MONOPOLY
TWO TOWNS WHERE ROCK WOOL
 IS MANUFACTURED.
Yorktown and Alexandria Favored by Nature in Location of Mineral De- posits-Product Supp!ant-
 ing Asbestos.

Alexandria, Ind.-Two cities in In
 diana have been sinsularly favored
 by nature in the placing of mineral
 deposits. giving them an absolute mo-
 nopoly of the manufacture of rock
 wool and it's other products. the cit
 ies being Yorktown and Alexandria,
 where Comparatively large areas, GOV
 ering a mile square in the aggregate,
 are underlaid With peculiar kind
 of stone largely composed of natural
 glass, which when fused and blown
 from a blast furnace produces per
 feet imitation in appearance of cot
 ton. but absolutely non-combustble
 and a perfect insulator from heat, cold
 and electricity.
 It is rapidly supplanting asbestos
 and is useful in many more ways than
 that product, whose mines in Canada
 and Italy are rapidly being exhausted,
 no new deposits of asbestos stone hay
 ing been discovered since 1850,
 The Alexandria plant recently
 shipped F car loads to the Philippine islands for use in the cold storage plant the government built there. while its use, like asbestos, extends to the manufacture of fireproof the
 ater drop curtains, clothing for fire men, acid workers lampwicks, stokers' gloves, etc. It is called by scientists
 both f1brous and crystalline, and is designated as a mineralogical vege- table. Charlemagne is credited with the first public uses of it, when he made a tahlecloth which he cleaned by throwing into the fire. but its real application to commercial purposes date back only 56 years.
 Thirteen years ago the deposits at Alexandria and Yorktown were dis covered by scientists. since which time extensive mills have been making the varied products into which it can be turned, and now that the stone in the Nicoson Quarries, covering so acres at Alexandria, has been found of the exact quality required new company has been launched at Wind fall, Ind. to build plant, the second at Alexandria, and engage extensive ly in the manufacture of this odd and useful product of natures labora' tory.
 The company is headed by Senator Mock, of Tipton, the promoting stock holders being Every A. Mock, Mont gomery Mckay, Benjamin F. Legg | Wilbur c. Legg, John M. Summers, L. D. Summers and Jefferson k. Hill drup, all prominent Tipton county business men. The company is cap 1 italized at S75.oo0. and the new plant l is to be built at Alexandria.
 It is significant that the two fac | tories in the United States alone which are running and which have | the only crude material from which this rock wool can be made are pros l porous, and are always behind their l orders.

Women Employed on Trains.

Berlin.-High officials of French railroads have inspected the German lines on which have been placed wom- en railway attendants and have found them a great convenience to women passengers. They have. therefore, de. cided to introduce the woman attend ant on all through trains on the Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean railway. The women attendants will not take the place of porters at present on the Pull man cars of the Vichy and Nice ex- presses. but will be additional to the men attendants. They will wear a suitable uniform as the German at tendantS do.

Farm Product Sale Is Vast.

Washington.-The department of agriculture in a report on the trade with noncontiguouS possessions in farm and forest products says that the value of exports of domestic farm products to foreign countries, includ- ing the Philippine islands, in 1905 was $S26, ,904,777. With the Philippine trade eliminated the value of the do- mestic exports to foreign countries amounted to $S25, ,746,927. The ship ments of farm products from the United States to the noncontiguous possessions, including exports to the Philippine islands, were 14,70O, ,000, or IS per cent. of the value just given for domestic exports to foreign coun- tries, excluding the Philippines.

TRYING NEW "sMokELEss COAL"
Pittsburs Official Experimenting So as
 to Abolish Nuisance.

Pittsburg.-In the effort to further the movement for the abolition of the smoke nuisance, Director of Public Works J. w. Clark is experimenting with ''smokeless coar' and is hopeful of getting satisfactory results which will lead to its general adoption for the production of steam.
 No preference is to be given to any special brand Of smokeless fuel, but during the past few days a number of tests have been made under his pro- duction of an article mined in the cen tral part of the state. The boilers of the Park building. the Annex hotel and the Arbuckle building were en- ployed for this purpose and the results have been highly satisfactory. MT. Clark says but little smoke is pro- duced and believes it will be possible to avoid even that little with care
 The coal is described by Mir. Clark as dull in appearance and so soft that it crumbles easily in the hand. At the same time it produces an intense heat and is highly appropriate as boiler fuel. It is said that a chemically treated coal is also to be tested, and that the results of all the tests will be made known to owners of boilers so that they may choose among those offered, with the experience of the city to guide them. The early adoption of an antismoke ordinance is regarded as a foregone conclusion, so that all the information which can be obtained in this manner will be of great inn portance to users of fuel.

New Hook and Ladder Wagon.

The fire department is again on
the high road to success in secur-
ing hook and ladder wagon, and it
is hoped that no further time will
be lost in getting the wagon here
and in actual commission. The
city council some time ago perfect
ed arrangements for the purchase
of this new equipment, but the Gem
pany with whom the order was
placed failed to approve the notes
as executed by the council. Chief
Miller states that he has arranged
with three of the local banks to ac-
cept the city's notes, which are
made due in one, two and three
years. He has telegraphed the
manufacturers to proceed with car
rying out the contract as was pre-
viously agreed upon, and to CON-
plete the wagon for delivery as ear
ly as possible.
