MANY YEARS.

WASHINGTON, August 21-.Of S1O,-
600 in decayed greenbacl1s sent to the
Treasury Department for redemption
by D. Earl of Morrillton, Ark, all but
$25 have been identified, and o check
for $9975 was mailed 70 Earl today.
Fearing the banks were unsafe. Ear;
buried his savings in an old pail in
1904 Recently he dug up his treas
ure only to find that the bills wer so
decayed that he could not discern their
numbers. All that was left of the roll
was a bunch of paper resembling a
package of dried leaves, with here and
there the torn end of a note display
ing a figure.
Mrs. A. e. Brown, the money expert
OF the redemption division was given
custody of the unacceptable mass
when Earl forwarded what was left
OF his fortune to the Treasury Depart,
ment. After much tedious work she
succeeded in Identifying the money.

EXPRESSING a Thorax.

DR. Leopold Jaches of CornelPs Med
ical school recently returned from
study of the use of the Rocntgen rays
abroad. Pausing in an account OF his
tour, DR.. Jaches said:
abroad, as here at home, the great
publlc's knowledge Of the rays contln'
ues rather vague. Investigators re-
ceive all manner Of queer letters and
requests. Thus | heard In Berlin OF a
man who wrote to a specialist:
dear Sir-I have had a bullet Ill
nv thorax for eleven years. am TOO
busy to come to Berlin. but hope you
will come down here with your rays
as my case should be worth your
while. If you cannot come. send u
packet of rays, with instructions as TO
use, ETC., and | will see If cannon
manage to work them myself
"The specialist replied:
"Dear Sir-I am sorry that my en-
gagements prevent my coming to see
YOU and that | am out Of rays just
now. If you cannot come to Berlin
yourself, send me your thorax by ex
press. and will do the best can with

Mr.. Kelar does not say that he Is a
spiritualist or that he Is possessed OF
supernatural powers, but he does con
tend that his long experience In the
realm Of mystifying trickery will lend
to him and his associates powerful
aid in separating the spurious from the
real. Science should welcome the adj
vent of Kellar In his new field. The
gentlemen who have given n great dea

of psychology will find in him valu

A Queer Mixup.

The Neue Freie Presse (Vienna) cor
respondent at Innsbruck writes: "a
crime with a funny end was perpetrat-
ed near this place few days ago. A
postal officer who was out shooting at
Zirl lost a case containing two valu-
able guns He suspected a young cut
ler's assistant who acted as a driver.
The mans home in Mittenwald, across
the Bavarian line, was searched, the
guns were found there, and the man
was arrested, tried and found guilty.
After all this the Austrian official
asked to have his guns returned, but
was told that this could not be done.
The thief had smuggled them across
the line, and, having been taken. they
became the property Of the govern
ment. The postal officer is suing for
the return of his property, but has
been told that even if he should re-
cover them he would have to pay a
high tax to the Austrian customs au-
thorities to get them across the Dor

reichische Wochenschrift contains this
story: 1--WE were to have Nero at the
Ochtaer theater, and the house was
well filed by people who waited to
hear the opera. The curtain time had
long passed when the audience began
to manifest its diSpleasure at the delay
by making much noise Of all kinds.

manager came forward and said that
the stage was so cold that the singers
were afraid to appear. There would
be- he said, only lcicles instead or
music Then he pointed to the back

them to keep the ticket money will
which to buy warmth and comfort.
Under threats to make it warm for the
cold company their money was re-
funded"
