Scranton. Pa, June 10.-Since the
death of Banker Dickinson in the
Laboratory of DR.. #. w Lange, much
interest has centered in this physician
and chemist who claims to have dis
covered the key TO the problem which
has baffled scientists for ages. The
doctor does not pretend to be able to
produce precious medals from the bas-
er metals, but can increase the weight
Of eight ounces of silver to sixteen
ounces of pure silver through his
chemical process. He has just given
to the world his own ctory of the pro-
cess and statement Of his facts, and
sincere is his story that it is being ac-
cepted by many as the greatest scien-
tific discovery Of the last century.
DR.. LANCE is practicing physician,
Ia graduate of Wesley university,
class of 'SS and Of the Hahnemann
Medical college of Philadelphia He
has always been interested in chem
istry and has specialized in this branch
through his own research. 1t was while
investigating a new smokeless powder
composition for a company that he
first hit upon the idea, for through
powder investigation he was brought
into Investigations along the lines of
nitrates, chlorides and carbonates and
compositions of certain matrices by
the use of which alphabetically larger
quantities of elementary matter could
be developed and this led to the use
of certain fiuxes The doctor will not
at this time divulge the specific ingre-
dents or proportion through which he
Is able to transmute a given weight of
silver into twice it's original weight.
The world awaits the future develop
ment Of this latest science in wonder.

der the antitrust law, so as to make
them inapplicable to peaceable com
binations. wage earners, etc, was the
subject of considerable criticism but
ultimately was accepted by a two
thirds majority ..-
amendment appropriating 100000 to
permit the president to investigate the
various executive departments Of the
government with a view to better
economy was adopted but not without
vigorous debate.
Not a single republican voted
against the savings bank bill on the
final rollN call. Prior to this action
the house by 113 to 1876 rejected the
democratic substitute for the bill pro-
posed by the majority. A large defec-
tion among the democrats was shown
when the democratic substitute was
voted upon. Twenty-one of them
joined the republicans in voting
against the measure, most Of whom
were opposed to a postal savings sys-
tenn Of any kind.

sic M. Hoover, dean of the womens
department at the North Dakota agri-
cultural college, believes that the study
of home economies offers solution of
the problem that is presented in the
feminine world. The young woman

things as her brother. 1t is human
nature to want to do that which one

it is of the first Importance not only
to them individually but to everyone
that they should be trained TO their
