BOY MAKES COUNTERFEIT
COINS IN THE KITCHEN
Special to The Herald.

DENVER, Colo, June 15.-By the
arrest of Arthur Sweeney of this city,
lad of II, one of the biggest gangs
of young counterfeiters in the country
was uncovered by the secret service
men.
The gang was composed of thirty
youths, whose ages ranged from 16 to
"a, who for some time have passed
clever limitations of every coin under
81. Slot machines. telephones and
small merchants have been victimized.
According to the detectives, Sweeney
and William Virgins had charge of
the work of making the coins. All
the members of the gang came from
reputable, hard working parents.
The story of Sweeney's counterfeit
ing, how he learned to mold and fin
ish, is told by his mother, who says
her son worked alone. She said:
Arthur made counterfeit money un-
der my eyes and I never dreamed he
was doing it with the intention of
passing it. Four years ago his father,
an expert brass molder, nodded things
for children to play with and taught
them how to do it. The model was put
away, but Arthur got it and began
to mold nickels and quarters right in
the kitchen"

NEW YORK, June 15.-Paddy
O'Connor, a please cabbie,
who gets a fare at the Waldorf-As-
toria when the other cabs are too busy
to get it, got fare last night. He was
elected to drive Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Stanton, guests at the hotel. to the
Princess theater. which he did with
eclat, and then drove up Broadway as
far as Fortieth street. dropped his
wagon pole, and went to sleep.
The cabbie was slumbering peace
fully when he was aroused an hour
later by two men frantically crying:
Here it is, here it is!'' They emerged
from the inside of his cab, held UP a
gold mesh purse, studded with dia-
monds and astonished Paddy
Drive us to the Tenderloin station"
they cried and Paddy whipped up.
When they got to the station they
found Mr. and Mrs. Stanton. The gold
mesh purse belonged to Mrs. Stanton,
and the purse being worth $3.50, not
counting the cash inside, Mr. Stanton
figured that $25 was not too much re-
ward for Paddy. seeing he hadn't dis
covered it. Paddy pocketed the re-
ward gratefully, and was followed
forth by the two men who woke him
UP. Paddy was liberal with them, and
all three made rejoicing.

| SOLDIERS ARE INOCULATED
TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER

LONDON, June 15.-The May num-
ber of the Royal Army Medical Corps
contains an important article on pro-
tective inoculation against typhoid few
er by Lieut.. E. J. G. Luxmoore The
article relates to the outbreak of ty-
phoid fever in the Seventeenth Iancers
at Meerut and gives an account of the
effects of incubation in controlling it.
The regiment left Scotland for India
in the fall Of 1906, with total strength,
including wives and children, of 593 OF
this number $50 were inoculated against
typhoid by Lieut.. Luxmoore either be-
fore embarkation or during the voyage,
but twenty-three of these $50 refused
to submit to a second inoculation, al
though warned that it was necessary
In order to afford the greatest attaina-
BILE security.
Enteric fever appeared in the regi-
ment few weeks after it's arrival in
India, and between the time of the
outbreak and the following June there
were sixty-three cases and eleven
deaths. Only two cases occurred among
the men who had been inoculated, and
both of these were men who had re-
fused the second incubation. Both
men recovered.

ture taken from it, it is evident that

Has Man a SouI7
The scientific evidences that man has
soul are strong. From a scientific
standpoint If man has a soul it must
be real. existing thing composed of
substance capable of emitting some
form of vibrations. 1t must occupy
space. There must be a real physical
relation existing between it and or
dinary coarse matter.
If there be a soul, and if there exists
between it and ordinary matter a defin-
lite physical relation we should be able
to demonstrate it's existence in our
laboratories; 1. e. to prove that man
has a soul as we prove any other fact.
The lower animals must have souls
also, because man is an animal, evolved
by slow processes from lower animal
forms.
This soul can have no weight be-
cause weight is not property of mat
ter, but 1t is due to a condition, and
that condition Is the presence of coarse
matter in the presence of other coarse
matter surrounded by a finer form Of
matter. For example, a pound at the
equator weighs more than pound at
the poles. A pound at sea level is less
tnan pOunQ upon a HlSn iuouHldlu.
A pound trillions of miles in space
would be without weight.
Soul May Weigh Nothing
Hence If the soul is very fine form
of matter. as fine or finer than the
ether, it would not have weight.
If the soul were made of coarse, or
binary matter that could not get
through glass, it could easily make its
presence known to us; but If it be COM
posed of a very fine form of matter,
vibrating at high rate. it could not
make its presence known to us, any
more than the x-ray or the ultra-vio-
let rays can be known to us, except as
we slow down their vibration rate upon
the fuorescent screen, changing 1t to
ordinary light.
We are warranted in concluding that
the loss of weight experienced by hui
man beings on dying from disease is
caused by the expulsion of moisture at
the moment of death, due to poison
generated by the disease.

draw his conclusions as to why the
mouse died sooner in a retort corked
with a one-hole stopper than in a
tightly corked retort. Regarding the
matter he made the following state
ment:
1.-THE rubber stopper acts like
the membrane in the lungs. The
accumulation of oxygen in the pas
sages of our lungs and the carbon di-
oxide in the arteries interchange,
through the separating membrane.
The one-hole stopper does not allow
such action to take place. The only
exchange of gases being by convection
currents. in the case of a hole one
eighth of an inch in diameter, is very
small. In the case of an open flask
larger convection currents are set up
and so great is the supply of air that
the mouse can live indefinitely.

An intelligent physician has dis.
covered that color blindness is very
rare among girls, though it is common
among boys. From this fact he draws
the conclusion that in most cases
color blindness is due to a want of
early education in discriminating col
ors. Girls are taught to become IA
miliar with every shade of colors.
while boys receive no instruction
whatever on the subject Hence, boys
frequently exhibit an ignorance with
true color blindness, but which girls
