Seven Million Dollar Joy Ride.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Seven million dollars on a Joy ride
through the streets Of Washington is
q sight to be seen every week day at
the national capital.
And this money stands less chance
of getting hurt through the careless
ness of the driver of the wagon it rides
in or from outside forces than any Joy
rider, animate or inanimate. in the
country.
For the treasury has a new money
wagon, a brand new vehicle, made Of
hard wood, iron and steel, with heavy
locks and bars, to bring money from
the bureau Of engraving and printing
where it Is made, to the vaults of the
treasury, where 1t Is stored for safe
keeping.
And not only is the new wagon near
ly bomb proof in itself, but Just to
make sure that some foolish person
with visions Of a Jesse James holdup
scheme, will never succeed In accom-
plishing anything Of the sort, eight
heavily armed guards ride to and fro
with the $4,000, 900.
All this extra precaution is due to
the change in the system of making
money. Until recently the money was
printed at the bureau Of engraving and
printing, but sent to the treasury minus
the seal and the number, SO thai 1t
was not real money until handled in
the treasury.

sandy or gravelly bottom are light
colored. Such conditions have long
been appreciated at the aquarium,
where fishes kept in tanks lined with
white tiles habitually wear their
lighter colors, only an occasional

pale, colorless fishes of the Mann

when exposed to light in the aquari-

ayes that are virtually useless, are stu

CALIFORNIA; UnexpIored Caves.
From the Pafhdpdar

In the vicinity of Tulu lake, Cal,
about &c extinct volcanoes have been
found, many already being covered
with thick vegetation. and beneath the
beds Of lava given Off by them in the
past numerous interesting caverns have
recently been discovered and explored.
One is said to be 200 feet long, SO feet
wide and 40 feet high. Another has been
reported discovered which Is miles long;
1t has been named the Mammoth cave
of California. One recently explored Is
said to contain two stories, the temper
azure in the under one being so low
that ictcles two yards long depended
from the ceiling. Large caves have va
rious origins. Many have once beer
solid ground, covered with heavy clay
and limestone rock; the lower ground
is washed away by underground wa
ters. a roof and floor being left. 9th
er caves are the result OF air or OTHER
gases getting into the molten lava,
expanding with the heat and blowing
Themselves into lava bubbles, leaving
hellews and cayerns when the lava
has cooled and hardened, Just as air
bubbles may be seen to do In moltla
tar.

TINY BABY's PITlFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked Just like q skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be q few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel OF leaving thu UNI
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scssllds. Then q few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to e SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagined The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
R%esolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
OF and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is e. fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake OF Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cuticura ONT

solvent. II people would know what
