CORPSE CHANGED TO GOLD.
Marvellous Secret Discovered by an
X-RaY Expert.

A-hdy EAptFls
A Chicago dispatch to the New
York Press says: Wolfram G. Fuchs,
an X-ray expert of Chicago who
died a year ago with ''X-ray cancer, "
a martyr to science, discovered a
marvellous secret by which he was
able to work certain chemical
changes in living organisms that
transform them into metal For two
wears before his death he conducted
a series of experiments, which reach
ed their climax in the metallization
of a rose. Reinhard D. Fuchs, his
brother, took up the work where he
left off and brought the secret pro-
cess to practical perfection.
Mr.. Fuchs is planning to metalllze
a human body, which he proposes to
put on exhibition in down town
shop window. The body will be that
of a pauper. By the secret process
of metallization it will be changed
into statue, which, to all external
appearances, will be of solid gold.
The inventors estimate of the cost
is $500.

POKER PLAYERS HID IN COFFIN
Sought Security There When Raided
by Police.

A South Norwalk, Conn, dispatch
says: So dead" game were twenty
two players when a poker club was
raided last evening that they sought
security in caskets and coffin boxes.
Others hid in the attic, and when
rounded up, all dust and cobwebs,
they were a sorry sight.
Norwalk is a moral place. Gamb-
ling is tabooed That a poker club
existed under the guise of the Nor
walk Social Club was never suspect
ed, but that is what the state police,
Prosecuting Attorney Leo Davis and
the local police found when they
swooped down upon the place at mid
night.
Two dozen men were around the
tables, but two jumped thirty feet
from a window into a pile of ashes
and escaped Others broke through
wooden partition to P. S. Kava-
naugh's undertaking places and hid
in the collins.
John H. Blake, the proprietor, was
fined 500 and sent to jail for six
months this morning. The others
were fined $25 or $50 each, and all
paid up. Prosecutor Davis said he
expected to find at least three mem
bers of the board of council in the
gambling house.

QUIET DAYS AT THE STATE CAPITOL
The Governor Is Too Busy With His Campaign to Be
Much in Evidence News Scarce at State House.

An Atlanta dispatch says: Things
arn nuiet at the state capitol these
DAVIS. Governor Smith is seldom IN
his office, and the executive recep-
ton room appears deserted except
for the presence of the porter, who,
&c q rule. tells callers the governor is
ont of the city. The rest of the cap
i+oI is somewhat similarly infected;
while most of the officials are on
hand there is little doing, and news
around the state house is at pre-
MUM.
The activity is all over at political
headquarters. In those of both can
didates forces of clerks are buslly
engaged in writing letters and get
ting out campaign literature. A
south Georgian who was here today
said it looked like about a ton OF
campaign literature had been dump
ed into his county within the past
week. At the corner stores ana
wherever two or three were gathered
he said he saw them reading cam
paign circulars and comparing the
positions of Governor Smith and Mr..
Brown on various questions before
the public. He said the people IN
his section were studying the situa-
ton in the parallel column fashion
A visitor at the capitol from
middle Georgia county remarked TO-
day that there had been little talk
of politics in his county so far, de-
spite the literature sent there.
Il expect Governor Smith will car
ry the county by small majority as
things stand now" he said.
A statement given out at Brown
headquarters today was to the erect
that $500 Brown supporters in Full
ton county have actually signed cards
sent out for the purpose. This is
growth from 300 two weeks ago
Governor Smiths friends are stlll
claiming the county, but none OF
them are betting any money on IT,
Brown money here on Fulton county

Those Breakfast Foods.

The Department of Agriculture
has Just issued a report regarding
so.calIed breakfast foods, says
Pennsylvania Grit.
The report says that the exami-
nation made Of these breakfast
foods has been thorough and in no
case has disclosed adulteratiOn,
coloring or preservatives, The
report will undoubtedly lift a
great burden Of suspicion from
the minds of Il great many people.
The report is clearly of value in
other directions, too. 1t shows
that those foods composed p'inci-
pally of oats furnish nutrients
in better proportions than others,
also that wheat ranks very close
to oats, with corn a close third.
Again the report says that I'M
cooked foods are as economic as
cooked, provided the family has u
range fire always available, al
though evoked foods might he
more digestible if re.cooked.
While the report does not say so
in as many words, it implies that
il would be better for all foods,
cooked or uncooked, to be again
heated before they are served.
Another gratifying phase of the
report relates to the cleanliness
with which breakfast foods are
prepared, they not coming in con-
tact with the human hand from the
time the processes of preparation
ha vebegnn, to their finish in at
tractive sealed packages. In this
respect the report says modern
breakfast foods are superior TO
those produced under old process
es, which are open to many objec-
tions along sanitary lines.

Hearts Revealed.

Phineas delivered his goods" and
the historic Sacramento Valley rail-
road, the first bit of track on the Pa
ciflc coast, the iron link that proved
to be the undoing of the spurious San
Francisco & Washoe railroad, dropped
mysteriously into the hands of the
Central Pacific company.
The opposition, defeated, yet never
dead, still cried Wolff" But no cry
was loud enough to futter the brave
men at Sacramento. Only nature and
the nations extremities could retard
them now. And against these ene-
mics in the open, officers and en-
ployes, down to the humblest, took
heart of grace and charged again the
rocky ramparts of the Sierras.
When the angel of death swept
down in the breath of the powder fash

luxury.
Stella, regularly attentive in the
sickroom. reported daily to Alfred.
His humble berth of extra brakeman
had brought his sleeping hours in the
little town, left his evenings free. For
several weeks he had devoted these
to planning a benefit for Mrs. Sackett
that was to invade jointly the do
mains of ITALIA, Polyhymnia and
Terpsichore.
For days Stella and Viola had toiled
at the tasks Alfred set them. Details,
as well as most of the mems parts,
rested on Alfred, for men were too
busy or too bashful for play acting"
He had chosen short extracts from one
or two popular plays and planned a
couple of charades representing local
interests. He had drilled Viola in the
rendering of some songs and boy
or two in recitation. But the ambi-
tious part of the performance was to
be two scenes from Romeo and
Juliet"
Under Alfred's tuition Stella discov-
