EXPERT ENGRAVER.
Employe of the Government Who Has
 Turned Out Some Fine Work.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.-When | one of the experts of the bureau of engraving and printing succeeded in engraving the text of the Lord S prayer on one side of a gold dollar it was supposed that the acme of deli cate work of that kind had been achieved It was regarded as marvel ous that a man with a set of engrav- CTS tools, could perform so remark able feat as the tracing of the Lords prayer on a gold dollar in volved; and that piece of work for many years has remained unap- preached
 lit remained for Clarence K. Young, of the bureau of engineering and printing, for to surpass the per formance of his predecessor. For many years Young has done some of the finest engraving required by the governmen. His work on the bills issued by the treasury department is declared to be the best in the world. In addition, he has done some remarkable portrait engraving on steel, his likeness of notable pub lie men being considered the best that ever has been produced by the engraver's art.
 In curious way he has surpassed not only hs own, but all other pre- vious performances in the art of en- graving. One day recently, Young and a few Of his friends were dis cussing the feat of a Philadelphia engraver who inscribed the twenty six letters of the alphabet on the head of a pin. Young expressed his believ that he could do even more than that. He said that, while che Philadelphia man mad engraved the twenty-six letters on the head of a large pin, he could put all ot the letters on the head of small pin, and then have room left for other matter. A wager was made that he could not accomplish tie feat. Young worked now and then on the task for a week and then showed his friends the result. He had actually engraved two full alphabets on the head of rln only sixty-five one thousandth of an inch in diameter and had room enough left to en- grave his name Young" at the bot tom.
 Spurred by "Young's feat, other government epgravers succeeded in inscribing on the heaG of pin tho complete alphabet. Then Young de- termined to set an example that would stand. He took a small-sized pin and, in a single half day, en- graved sixty-one letters on the he,i.
 The letters are rot discernibie with the naked eye. In fact, the ordinary observer would not know that the head of the pin had any en- graving on it. nly with a powerful magnifying glass can the letters be made out. They are separate and distinct and each one is about the same distance from that next to it. Every one of them is formed per fectly and the lines separating them are clearly defined. ItI S regarded as likely that Young's feat will stand unapproached for many years, even if it ever should be equalled.

SCHOONER LOST
Belonged tO the ADglo-American Arctic Exposition Looking
 For New Continent
MEMBERS ARE MISSING

Athabasca Landing, Canada, Sept 6.-The news of the probable loss of the schooner Duchess of Bedford, the ship belonging to the Anglo American Arctic expedition which hoped to find new continent north of the Mackenzie river, was brought here by Alfred Harrison, who has been in the Arctic circle for two years and who came here on the steamer Mid night Sun.
 Mir Harrison said Ernest Stefansson of Harvard university, after whom the expedition has been called, him. self brought the news of the loss of their boat to Herschell island. He also brought the news of the disap- pearance of three members of the party and expressed the fear that they had met death in the frozen north.
 The missing members of the eXpe- dition are Captain Kikelson. Dane, Ernest Leffingwell, of Chicago, and J. NJ. Marks. They left the ship in February with sixty days provisions for the supposed land to the north, and had been gone seventy days and no news had been received from them. One of their teams of dogs had re- turned and it is likely the party will never be heard from again.
 The schooner Duchess of Bedford, StefanssOn thought, had probably sunk. The ship had filled with water, probably from the ice strain, but they had been able to remove everything of value to the main shore.
