RARE COPPER CENTS.
Coin Collectors Theory to Account Fol
Their Scarcity.

Coin Collectors Theory to Account Fol
Their Scarcity.
That some Of the rarest and mosl
valuable of the United States cents
particularly those dated 1890 and 1904
owe their scarcity to the fact that Ful
ton built the steamboat Clermont 1.
the theory held by some coin collectors
They believe that thousands Of the ole
time large copper cents went TOWARD
making the copper boiler for the pio
neer steamboat.
This theory would explain the mys-
terry that has long puzzled coin collect
ors as to the reason for the almost to-
tai disappearance Of the cents Of the
dates mentioned.
The first cents struck at the United
States mints at Philadelphia were of
large size. The copper blanks, or
planchets. were imported from Eng
land. being sent over in kegs.
Copper at this period was scarce
article in this country With the ex-
ception of the small quantity pro-
duced at the only copper mines then
known in the United States, those at
CRANKY. Conn. nearly all the metal
used here came from England.
Builders of steam engines In those
days were of the opinion that boilers
constructed of iron were unsafe and
impracticable, and as consequence
boilers were made of copper. all the
boilers that came from England being
it Is said. constructed of that metal,
Fulton was likewise of the belief that
copper was the only fit metal to be
used in boilers.
1t is therefore possible that, finding
Il scarcity of metal with which to con-
struct the boiler of the Clermont. he
finally resorted to the most convenient
source of supply, which happened to-
be the large United States copper
cents. OF course the cost of such a.
boiler would represent large sum,
lrt it is on the records that the steam
frigate Fulton. launched in 1915, the
year of the inventors death. had a
boiler entirely constructed of copper,
which alone cost the large sum of $685.
UG0
That the supply of cents Of this PEI
rod was large enough to meet such a
demand is also likely enough. From
1893 to and including lT05 l.O66O33
cents were coined and In lT0G 0I4,0O0
were struck.

The Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter so large
y into the structure of the nose
and determine its characteristics
that it undergoes little perceptible
change, as a rule, with the lapse Of
years. The brow becomes wrinkled,
and crows feet gather round the
eyes, which themselves gradually
grow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks
lose the bloom which cosmetics can
not replace and lips their fullness
and color. The chin, dimpled in
youth, develops angularities or
globularities, as the case may be,
and the eyebrows become heavy
with the crop Of many years.
growth. The nose shows no mark
comparable to these familiar facial
indications Of the approach of old
age and practically enjoys immuni-
ty from the ravages which time
makes on the other features of the
face. Next to the nose, probably
the ears, as rule, show the fewest
and least obvious signs of old age.

FREAKS OF SPORT.

How tls Geese ss.t the Turkeys In .
Ten Mile Race.
The history of sport is made fas-
cinating by many strange incidents.
From the days when John Mytton
accepted dare to hunt over frozen
fields in his nightclothes at mid
night up to the last election the an
mails of wagers are full of the most
extraordinary incidents.
No more curious examples OF ono
of these side issues of sport can be
found than is offered by match
made when George ~. was still
Prince of Wales. The match was
a famous one in its day from its ex-
ceptional nature, the parties engag-
ed in it and the unexpected denoue-
ment. The Hon. George Hanger,
afterward Lord Coleraine, was one
of the celebrated and eccentric per-
sonages of the day. At one of the
gay parties at Carleton House Mr..
Hanger was led, in the course of the
conversation, to declare that tur-
key could travel faster than goose.
The Prince of Wales, who had great
confidence in his judgment as to all
matters of "wind, limb and speed"
agreed with him in this declaration.
A Mr.. Berkeley differed from them,
and a match was at once arranged.
Twenty turkeys were entered against
twenty geese. The distance to be
travelled was ten miles. The race
was for $500. Indeed, the conf
dence in the turkeys was SO great
that odds of 2 to were offered
and taken-that these birds would
win. The prince at once arranged
to have twenty Of the finest and
gamest turkeys collected. At the
time and place appointed he met
Mr.. Berkeley with his entries Of
geese. The race began. From the
start there was every indication that
the turkeys would come in winners
tthands down" or wings down. They
tripped onward at brisk pace,
which the geese, with their heavier
waddle, were not able to equal. In
deed, at the end Of three hours the
turkeys were leading by two miles.
But night was falling. As the light
grew less the turkeys displayed Ggns
Of uneasiness. They began to look
1t the trees that appeared BY the
wayside and edged toward them.
The prince, with pole to which
was fastened piece Of red cloth,
did what he could to urge them for
ward. First one escaped and, rais-
ing itself to pendant limb, settled
itself down comfortably. This ono
was no sooner dislodged than an
other established itself in like
manner. Barley scattered along the
road did not aid in the least. The
turkeys had concluded that it was
time to turn in, and turn in or turn
out they did. In few minutes all
Of the twenty were roosting tn trees,
from which it was impossible to
drive them. Meanwhile the geese
came numbering on. They slowly
passed their slumbering competitors.
The race finished with the geese
first and the turkeys "nowhere."-

adopted is to issue exchange in de-

on which plaintiff has various other
pieces of property IN close proximity
These, he says, are occupied wholly

understanding that Koellsch and
family were to occupy the prem4se s
and further that the property was nor
to be sold or disposed of by koellsch
to any person or persons who were

In pursuance of this alleged agree

the property 10 be sold at auction

TELEGPlHERS' STRIKE IS OFF
Chicago and New York Vote to Quit,
and Other Unions Will Now
Follow Suit

Chicago. I'M Nov. o--The tele
graphers strike, which has been in
force for the past two month OF
more, is virtually ended. The back
bone of the strike was broken today
by the action of the unions in New
York and Chicago voting to return
to work, and it is believed that their
action will be followed by the strik-
ers all over the country tomorrow.
This will end one of the most i'm
portant strikes IN the history of the
country. While not as many have
been thrown out of employment as
in other strikes, yet in proportion to
the number Of strikers, the damage
to the country has been very much
greater. The return of the strikers
will again put communication all
over the Union in closer touch.
