At the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan, 965 prisoners are en-
gagged in building around and over
them the very prison in which they
will be confined. This institution,
when completed, will be the largest
and best equipped federal prison in
the country. 1t was begun in 1898,
and will probably not be finished for
several years. 1t has frontage of
800 feet, with depth of 900 feet in
the rear. The wall which surrounds
the building and incloses sixteen and
one-half acres will be thirty-one feet
in height. The entire reservation in
cludes TAO acres, 100 under cultivation,
and an equal amount in pasturage, the
rest being still scovered with timber.
The prisoners are white, colored, III
dian and Japanese. Twenty-four are
military prisoners, while the others
are. offenders against the civil law.
The majority Of the Indians came from
Indian Territory, and their crimes are
the result of too much bad whisky.

COIN SWEATING.
An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen

An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making of coun-
terfeit coins and usually combined
with chat nefarious trade is what is
known as sweating" which requires
considerable skill to accomplish sue
cessfully. A rubber mold is used, into
which a gold coin to be sweated is in
troduced and held with a clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
the coin is immersed in q bath OF
cyanide of potassium and an electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upon the coin in the acid
uniformly sweatS the metal-that is to
say. causes so much of it to become
detached. This process is gone through
with a large number of coins, and the
gold deposit thus obtained is extracted
from the acid.
1t is for the purpose of detecting the
existence of such reduced coins that
bankers weigh gold coins in a balance.

diately be shown by the Indicator. The

amount the customer will have to

But, all things considered, sweating
is but 4 poor business, says II. l..
Adam in his interesting book. 1.-THE
Story of Crime" and evidently it is
thought so by the criminal fraternity,
for it has dwindled to a mere nothing.
A sovereign weighs 123.27447 grains.
and the limit of error in the weight is

readily be gathered that sweating can

A SERPENT STORY.
Terrifying Experience With a Deadly

Terrifying Experience With a Deadly
Lancehead.
The Paris Eclair tells q blood eur
ding serpent story, the scene of which
was the island of Martinique and the
dramatis personae Sergeant Legrand
and Private Durand and the snake q
deadly lancehead.
The soldier had been punished with
a night in the cells for some trivial Of
Tense, but as the night was very hot
the sergeant had left the door open. In
the morning at 5 o'clock Legrand went
to wake his prisoner and, to his horror,
beheld a lancehead snake coiled up and
fast asleep on the mans breast.
The sergeant did not lose his presence
Of mind. He stole noiselessly away,
ran to the guard room and, followed by
all the men on duty, returned to the
cell with a bowl of milk and q tin whis-
tie. Placing the bowl of milk at the
entrance to the cell. the sergeant began
to play the Blue Danube" 1t is need
less to remark that the weakness of
the lancehead is milk and music. The
serpent, which was a six foot speci,
men, awoke, glided from the soldiers
body toward the bowl, but it had no
sooner buried its head in its beloved
drink than ten cudgels descended on
it with terrific force, killing it outright.
The soldier Durand, who was in a
swoon, was taken to hospital, where
he lay for many days IN the verge of
madness. He finally recovered and re-
lated his horrible experimentation he
had awoke in the middle Of the night
as the serpent was coiling itself on his
bare breast and how he had lain there
in an agony for hours, not daring to
move q muscle.
Durand was sem back to France as
soon as he had sufficiently recovered.
The only trace Of his terrible expert
ence, adds the Eclair, is that his hair
