MAKES GOLD FROM
BASER METALS
inventor Claims to Have
AIChemiSt'S Secret.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 2.-(Special) >
Has the dream of the alchemist of
old been realized in the dawn of the
twentieth Century? Eighteen months
hence, Rudolph NJ. Hunter says, he
will be manufacturing 24-caret gold
at the rate Of 100000 900 annually
TransmutatiOn of silver and baser me-
tails into gold is his secret, and he de-
clares he can produce the finer metal
in quality to defy the government eX
perts as to its origin, and in quantity
to keep the Philadelphia mint busy
the year round
Mr.. Hunter is in Chicago attending
to the final details of getting a huge
plant at Philadelphia into operation
Behind rock walls, without windows
and with a single door to the turreted
and feudal like-castle which is to
house a half-million dollars worth
of delicately tuned machinery, this
modern wizard promises to revolu-
tiOnize the gold crop of the world.
Mr.. Hunter is an inventor and en-
gineer Of standing in the scientific
world. During his career he has pro-
duced and patented hundreds of ideas
notably in the electrical field His
patents cover the trolley, conduit and
electric accumulation system of trac-
ton now in use.

LETTER TO J. $. BOLTON.
Americas, Ga.

Dear Sir: Mrs, s. C. Ashes house
in Yorkville, S. c., was painted Devoe
q years ago and hadn't been painted
since; it is a handsome house and
the paint was in good condition when
we were there three years ago.
DO we therefore say that Devoe
wears II years in South Carolina? No,
on the sandy coast, where the sun
is hot and the flying sands cut the
bark off trees, DevOe is the only
paint that wears more than one year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn't diff
fer. 1t is the paint that takes least
gallons to cover job and makes
least cost and wears longest; how long
depends on sun wind and sand, etc.
Yours truly,
GO F. w. DEVOE & CO

Secret Known to Three

Mr.. Hunter and his two sons are
the only living persons who are &C
quainted with the secret features of
the process whereby, he says, sill
yer bullion will be dumped into the
hopper at one end of the mill and be
delivered as gold slabs at the other
He has the entire process recorded in
a book, which in decades to come
he expects to stand as the unchange-
able record of a wonderful discovery
and which will take rank with the
great scientific achievements of his
tory.
ITO change silver into gold it is
necessary only to rearrange the ions
and electrOn conditions of the atoms, ;"
said Mr. Hunter in scientifis terms
when asked as to how he will pro-
coed when his plant opens for bust
ness.
Leave nature to herself" he said,
and she will produce gold from sill
yer in centuries of time. l have dis
covered natures method of transmit
alton and applying it directly to the
silver do in a fraction of a second
what nature does in hundreds of
years. That is all there is to it.

A ChiId's Dream OF War.
Baltimore Sum

How could she know what war could
mean,
Who watched the marching column S
sheen
Who heard in chtIdhood's sweet de
light
The phalanx wheel to left and right,
And saw her father ride away
To lead the charge and face the fray?
How could she know but that twas
grand
To hear the turmoil of the land,
The drum-beat and the .bugle-call
And banners floating over all?
So gold-locks watched the troops go
by,
And saw the lordly banners fly,
And heard the waiting people cheer
AS one by one the ranks drew near,
And one by one they passed away
Far down the avenues of day,
Only at night in lOnesOmeness
She had no papa to caress,
No fOOtstep came across the green
How could she know what war could
mean?
Some day I'll know" she signed and
crept
Unto her little crib and slept
While Ger her in her slumbers sweet
Through hours that passed on Ieaden
One leaned who knew full well, full
well,
Wars awful complement of hell,
Whose heart had saddened through
the day
AS onward moved the troops away;
Yes, darling, some day you will
know,
God grant it may not bring you
woe!"
Some day she knew. From fields Of
strife,
A form SC fair and strong with life
At dawn, they brought at eyentide
Back to the sweet old Preside,
Buckler and sword upon his breast
Were crossed, His White brow wore a
crest
Of scarlet furrowed deep where sped
A vagrant messenger of lead,
His bier with the fair flag was stOled,
Mantling the soldier, fold on fold
No drum-beat in the crowded street
No note of bugle sounding sweet,
No cheering throngs along the road
Alone the bearers bore their load,
Silent and full of pity then,
They felt Gods sorrow, men to men;
And little gold-Iocks, who had seen
Only the splendor and the sheen
Of war to sudden wisdom grew,
Kissed the cold lips, and then she
knew!

Rush for New Penna As.
New York Sum-

The only question remaining at
the termination of subscriptions for
the $40,000000 new Pennsylvania As
was the number of times the issued
had been oversubscribed. Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., couldn't formulate an estimate
that they could put out as a close ap-
Proclamation, but a member of the
firm was positive that subscriptions
in excess of $685. 100000 or twenty
times the amount of the issue had
been received. Apart from this state
ment estimates ranged as high as
billion and a quarter. The number
of subscribers was said to be in ex-
cess of 100000 including most of the
savings banks, insurance companies
banks and banking houses.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. put out a very
popular bond flotation in one of the
issues of Japanese bonds. The Penn
sylvania offering made the Japanese
subscription look like a trifling Incl
dent Undoubtedly it would have
compared even more favorably but
for the fact that the bankers closed
the subscription almost Immediately
after it had opened at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and cut off a large
number of applicants. 1t will take
the clerks several days to compute all
the applictions and make out the
list of allotments. Subscribers will
get but a small part of the amount
applied for.
Advices from London were that the
subscriptions received by the Roth
childs and Earrings amounted to
more than the entire Offering, though
by no means as heavy as the sub
scriptions here. Seldom, if ever,
has participation in an American
railroad flotation been so eagerly
sought abroad In London the bonds
were traded in when issued at
premium of two points Here the
price of the curb advanced steadily
to 100 rs as compared with an is
sue price of 90.

The close was 5 to points above
the final for the day before.
Locally no sales were reported,
though there was some inquiry. No
definite bid was made by the buyers,
though it is possible that 9 ga cents
might have been obtained for good
