SOCIETY HAS GOOD JOKE ON MOODY.

Speaking of Moody, Washington society is
having little fun. and not altogether quiet fun at
his expense The joke Is thought to be better than
anything else that has come along since a great
New York paper printed the pictures Of Count du
Chambrun and several other Washington diplo-
mats and labeled them with the names OF the
cooks of several families of wealth.
Another great newspaper has reproduced pho
tographs taken at the West Point-Annapolis foot
ball game, and the pictures are adding to the
gayety Of the representatives Of many nations.
One of these pictures shows the new supreme
Justice sitting In box at the football contest with
a remarkably beautiful young woman at his side.

HISTORIC LONG BRIDGE TO BE REPLACED.
Long bridge, the historic old wooden structure
across the Potomac, connecting link between the
capital and the south, is being torn down. A mod

place.
With the bridge will go one Of the Oldest
landmarks around the city. Every period in the
history OF the capital draws some OF Its interest
from the framework Of the old structure,
In the war Of 1872, when It was reported that

her residence having a front or side en-

THE CRUDE OIL POWER COMPANY.

The oil industry In Kansas Is an important
one, one that Is destined to add largely to the

Vice-president and the active manager of the
Crude Oil Power Company, who for thirty-two
years has been the secretary treasurer of Kan
sas City's most successful institution, the
Kansas City Stock Yards Company.
The plant of the Crude Oil Power Company is
located at the junction of the Missouri Pacific
and Mexican and Orient Belt Line Railways in
Kansas City, Kans. Already 800. 900 has been
expended in establishing this industry, shown
In their page announcement.
The Crude Oil Power Company will, however,
occupy Il unique place, as the company proposes
to manufacture engine that will eventually
supersede all engines now operated by gasoline,
alcohol naphtha, and In some instances by
steam. This remarkable invention uses. as the
name of the company implies, ordinary crude
oil as fuel The company claims to produce as
much power from n barrel of crude oil can
be produced from barrel of gasoline. Inas-
much as barrel of gasoline costs about $3.50
and crude oil only about 90 cents per barrel,
power can be generated by this crude oil engine
for about 10 per cent of the cost of operating
gasoline engine. Another and perhaps more i'm
pOrtant invention will be manufactured by this
company. 1t Is called the portable rehner. Its

THE FIRST MONEY.

1t Is Credited to the Lydians of Asia
Minor.
1t is difficult to realize that prior to
B. c. 100 there were no true coins, that
ingots or buttons Of gold and silver
were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians Of Asia Mi
nor are credited with having been the
first to cast and stamp with an official
device small oval gold ingots Of def
mite fixed weight, an invention strange
ly delayed, but Of inestimable impor-
lance to industry and commerce A
coin has been described as "a piece Of
metal of fixed weight, stamped by au-
thority of government and employed
as a medium of exchange" Medals,
though struck by authority, are only
historical records and have no currency
value.
The bright, far flashing intellect Of
Greece saw the import of the Lydian
invention and adopted it quickly, and
every Greek state, nearly every city,
island and colony, established a mint,
generally at some one of the great tenn
| pies, for all early coin types are reli-
glous in character. They bear symbols
OF some god as pledge of good faith

/ Worshipers were coined and circulated
as money. Temples thus became botl
minis and banks. Our word money
Is said to have been derived from the
Roman shrine of Juno, Moneta, the
earliest Latin mint.
The first shape Of these early coins
was that Of an enlarged coffee berry
punched on the rounded side with off
clal letters or sinkings, as they ar
called.

FLORIDA'S INDIAN WAR.
OsceoTn's Half Breed Wife Brought
About the Conflict.

In 1885 a young woman, with par
ty of Indians visiting Fort King, was
seized and carried of as q fugitive
slave on the ground that her mother
was an escaped slave who had taken
refuge with the Indians many years
before That her father was al Indian
and she had been raised an Indian did
not count for anything. Legal claim
Of ownership in the mother embraced
her also. That was law at the time.
Naturally the young husband, until
tored savage that he was, could not
recognize it's justice. Proving both elo-
ouent and brave, he soon had every
Indian in Florida on the Warpath, nor
was it long before his name, Osceola,
was heard with terror in the exposed
white settlements. There ensued a
war, long, costly and bloody, out of all
proportions to the number engaged. 1t
is probable the Indians did not number
1900 warriors, but in the four years
required to conquer them 1900 white
lives were sacrificed.
With the Indians it was a battle a
outrance. They had many wrongs tG
avenge. which lost nothing in the fer
vid coloring Of OsceOla's elOQuence.
Defeat meant transportation to an IN
known country far toward the setting
sun. Osceola claimed to have been the
friend of the white man until white

February Legends.

Why February has twenty-eight days
is explained in the legends Of the past.
One is Of an old woman, who, tending
her flock. ridiculed the month of Feb
ruary because he had dealt 50 lenlent-
" with her and her sheep. Then Febru-
ary felt insulted and made leap year
and borrowed a cold day from March
and froze her and her flock. There IS a
Norman legend which makes it out
that February had originally as many
days as the other months, but Februa-
~ was a confirmed gambler and lost
at domino a day both to January and
to March. Strange to say, there is an
old. story of Egypt, wherein the god Of
February plays forfeits with the moon
and loses certain days.

Earth Curvature and Vision.

One Of the seven wonders of the an
Gent world" was the Pharos, or light
tower at Alexandria. II you have a
popular account of that great structure
handy, read it carefully and note that
you are informed that the tower could
be seen at a distance Of from 100 to
loO miles. Let US see If this could DOS
sibly be true. The curvature of the
globe is 500 inches to the mile, This
being true, we find that an object 100
feet high can only be seen at a frac-
ton over thirteen miles. Figuring on
the basis of an earth curvature of even
seven inches to the mile, we find that
the light tower in question must have
been over a mile in height if visible
even at distance of 100 miles.
