ORIGIN OF VIENNESE BREAD
Dates Back to 1888 When Turks Be.
sieged the Austrian Cap
ital.

The origin of that Viennese bread
shaped like crescent, which is found
in most places on the continent, dates
back to 1858.
At that time the Austrian capital
was being besieged by the turks I'M
der the terrible grand vizier, Kara
Mustapha, and as they failed to take
the city by assault they decided to dig
passage under the walls and so pen
citrate into the town. In the daytime
the noise Of the siege made the sound
of the tunneling inaudible aad at
nighttime the defenders of the place
were asleep, all but the sentries and
bakers. ,.
1t was the bakers who, as they
baked the bread for the garrison,
heard the pickaxes of the miners COM
ing nearer and nearer and gave the
alarm. In the fighting the bakers took
their share with the utmost bravery
and as a reward for their service the
emperor gave them permission to
make special cake shaped like tho
Turkish crescent. IT, i

PAPYRUs FOR BANK NOTES
Cultivation Of the Plant Is to Be I'm
dertaken by Italian Govern
ment Officials.

In only one place in Europe is the
papyrus plant still to be found. This
is on the upper reaches of the little
river Anapo in Sicily, near the mouth
of which Syracuse is situated Papyrus
cultivation was a very important
branch of agriculture with the antique
and Chassis worlds, tor it was from the
pith of this semi-aQuatic plant that the
material was made upon which the
tough, thick, Witty brown paper, which
moderns also call papyrus. It was en-
ployed for the purposes of literature
and correspondence by the Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans and continued in
general use both in Italy and through
out the eastern empire until the twelfth
century, Indeed, it was the writing pa
per OF the world for over 1000 years
a long period for any manufactured
article to command the market and
successfully defy all competition.
Now the Italian minister af finance
is planning to utilize the papyrus plant
again. Its cultivation is to be under
taken by the ministry Of agriculture.
and a little factory tor the manufac-
ture Of papyrus paper is to be erected.
A law is to be passed declaring both
the cultivation and the manufacture to
be government monopolies, and the
papyrus paper is to be employed ex-
clusively for the purposes of the cur
rency. 49,

HAVE you A CLAY PENCIL =
What Is Cor;n only Called s'Lead"s Is
Commercially Known as
Dough.

Pencil manufacturing is not so sim.
pie matter as it was formerly. The
lead" originally used was pure plum
pago, mineral hewn or sawn from
the earth in great blocks, which only
needed cutting into thin strips to be
ready for use.
Plumbago for the best pencils now
undergoes a number of processes. It
is ground and mixed with finely pull
verified clay. For hard pencils the
mixture is one part plumbago to two
parts Of clay. The softer the pencil,
the greater the proportion Of plum
bago.
The mixture is thinned" with wa
Ter, and repeatedly ground until it is
perfectly smooth. 1t is then placed in
canvas bags and squeezed by ma
chinery until enough water has been
removed to leave a tenacious, dough-
like mass.
This dough" is placed in a strong
steel cylinder. one end Of which is
perforated with holes of the same
size as the leads which it is desired
TO make. The pressure of the piston
forces the dough- out through the
holes in long strings, which are laid
in grooyed boards to dry.
The next step is the tempering OF
the leads by heating to a red heat BY
this process the hardness or softness
If the pencils is still further modified,
and impurities are burned out. The
little strips Of plumbago-clay are now
ready for their wooden cases.

GUERRA REFUSES TO CONSIDER
TERMS FOR AN .ARMiSTlCE
WITH GOVERNMENT.
Instead of Seeking to End Insurrection
j.: He Blows Up Two Bridges, Cutting
Railway Communication, and At.
tacks San Juan de Martinez. r"

Havana, Sept. 8.-All peace over
lures are blocked by the refusal of
Pine Guerra, the insurgent leader in
Pinar del Rio province, to enter into
any agreement for an armistice.
Guerra's answer to the governments
announcement of it's readiness to
grant ten days armistice Is the blow
ing up of two bridges on the Western
railway, the cutting of railway CON-
-munication beyond Pinar del Rio city
and an attack on San Juan de Marti.

It is believed here that San Juan de
Martinez is in the hands of the insur-
gents and that the garrison consisting
of 100 government recruits and small
force of mounted rural guards, has
been defeated or captured.
Guerra to Continue War.
The fact that other leaders Of the
lnsurrection are willing to agree to an
armistice can have little effect so long
as Guerra is determined to prosecute
the war, and there is slight doubt in
any quarter that Guerra can control
the situation in his region. His force

SUbTERRANEAN ACE
IS PREDICTED BY AN
EASTERN ENGINEER

CHICAGO June 5.--A subterranean
age, when theaters will be built under
ground and the busy hum of factories
will resound from far beneath the side
walk, was forecast by Engineer John
M. Even in an address before the
Mems Club of st. Peters Episcopal
Church.
Ewen's subject was Erecting Chi
cago Skyscraper.'' But while he
pointed out that the erection of build
ings fifty stories high is perfectly feas-
ible, he said it is also probable that
in the future more attention will be
paid to digging habitable holes beneath
the street level
Even declared that the San Fran
cisco earthquake proved the superiority
of modern fire-proof steel construction
over all methods of building. He ad-
vocated the use of wire glass with
metal frame and sash, in place of plate
glass and wooden frame and sash, as
measure of fire protection.
new method of construction was
outlined by the speaker. Stated briefly,
it contemplates leaving the earth un-
excavated until the superstructure is
well along, the exact reverse of the
other method. Even said the advan-
tage of the method lies in the fact that
it ensures against the sinking of
streets and adjoining buildings

Battling Nelson will from present
appearances be one of the principals
in the first big fight to be held in this
city. The selection of his opponent has
been practically left in the hands of
Rddie Graney, the honest blacksmith.
The negotiations up to this point
took but a few moments yesterday,
and If ali the other details are ar
ranged as expeditiously. match which
will interest the boxing enthusiasts OF
the world will result.
Graney was pursuing the peaceful
avocation of shoeing horses yester-
day when Billy Nolan dropped in on
him. The two have been on particular
ly friendly terms since last Septem-
ber, when Graney insisted that Nelson
was entitled to the $4,000 which Man
ager Jim Coffroth retained because he
was NOT in the ring with Britt at the
appointed hour.
After some casual conversation yes
terday, Graney told Nolan he ought to
help out the sporting situation here
by signing Nelson TO fight in this city.
After moments reflection, Nolan said;
Il will match him against any 1873
pound man in the world that you may
select"
While Graney will not say what
man he will select, it is known that he
He would like to see the lightweight
championship rest with a white boy,
and Nelson is the only one now before
the public who is thought capable OF
performing the trick.
Graney and Nolan had no further
conversation regarding the match, SO
it is up to the promoter to make the
next move. His present idea is to hold
the event, if il can be arranged. on
September g. July would be a de-
sirable day, but President William
Greer Harrison, of the Olympic Club, is
planning for a great festival of sports
in Golden Gate Park on that occasion
This will be free TO the public. Graney
would not attempt to run show IN
opposition on that day, as he has the
kindIiest interest in the Olympic Club
The present status of the fight trust
is hard TO determine. When questioneo
about it, Graney looked wise and SAID
Y don't know how badly shaken tho
fight trust was by the earthquake
have been so busy shoeing horses thai
the trust slipped out of my memory.

MUCH LEARNED
FROM GLASGOW

GLASGOW, June 5.-The visiting rep
resentatives of the American Civic
Federation completed their examination
of the gas enterprises of the city on
Monday and were greatly interested in
the arrangements for stocking the re-
torts. They said comparison was i'm
possible with the American method,
where the coke used is much superior
to the kind used in Glasgow.
AT the conclusion Mr.. ingalls, said he
had been much impressed with the sue
cess of municipal ownership in Glas-
gov, and thought the same results
could be achieved in America if the
right kind of citizens would enter pub
lie life. He said:
we have the right kind of citizens,
but they all seem to be too busy to take
part In the affairs of city govern
ment."
OF the undertakings he had seen in
Glasgow he put the tramways easily
first, then the gas supply, and last the
electrical supply system.
Mr.. Parsons said that the facts that
had been ascertained in Glasgow would
help greatly to arrive at a decision
whether America had the proper con-
ditions for successful municipalization.
At a banquet on Monday night by the
corporation the members of the feder-
alton expressed themselves as delighted
with the cordiality of their reception.
Professor Good now said that whether
or not the members of the federation
were advocates or opponents of munich
pal ownership, or merely perchers on
the fence, ii was a great pleasure to
see what Glasgow had done. The ad-
vocates of municipal ownership had
come to strengthen their arguments
their opponents had come in a vain
endeavor to find weakness, and those
perchers on the fence had come merely
to ascertain the truth. The Americans
he added, were credited with suffering
with swelled head. For himself, since
coming to Glasgow, his head had be-
come considerably smaller What the
average American found inexplicable
was why the British devoted to public
service the time one would expect them
to give to their own business.
The deputation went to Newcastle
today.
