sauirreIs In Capitol Grounds.

There are lots of squirrels in the
capitol grounds in Washington and
the pretty little things have lost their
fear of their natural enemy. man, be-
cause, of course. they are protected
from destruction as far as man-made
rules will do this. The children in the
parks play with them very gently and
not infrequently these small creatures
in their search for something to eat
will run up a mans trousers leg and
then there is a circus. but one of them
broke into the United States capitol
the other day. He got in on the SEN
ate side into the marble room and
perched himself on the weather in
struments which are handled by Mr..
Jones' What that small creature did
to the set of astronomical instruments
was plenty. He was finally chased
out, running down the elevator shaft
all by himself.

Senator Cummins is not a member

the Iowa senator landed in Washing
ton as the successor of Senator ALL
son he has kept right on the Job all
the time. He has found very little
time for anything outside of his sena-
torial duties, which have included a
great deal of national work. Many
senators have only local interests. but
Iowa is taking hold of national affairs.
and both senators have been busy
with them. BY getting on the inter
state commerce committee Senator
Cummins had an extra amount of
work on account of the railroad bill
which occupied so much of the time of
the senate.

UNCLE SAM BALKS AT A BILL
Refuses to Pay for 81 Pair Of Gloves
For Secretary knox's
Coachman.

A 81 pair of driving gloves for the
coachman of the secretary OF state
ran the gamut of official scrutiny and
finally was decreed not proper eX-
pense for Uncle Sam to defray. This
means that hereafter the man who
handles the ribbons on Secretary
Knox's thoroughbreds or sits on the
box alongside the driver must buy his
own clothes, get the secretary of state
to pay for them out of his own pocket,
or go without. The comptroller Of
the treasury, the court of last resort
in such matters, disallowed the 81.

Hints on Baking.

If you find the cake is rising in q
cone in the center you may be sure
the oven is too hot Never mix a
cake until the oven is ready to receive
it; it is likely to fall and be heavy.
On adding citron to a cake shave it
in thin slices, flour 1t and lay it be-
tween layers of the batter. When ba-
king a cake try to have nothing else
in the oven, then set the tin as near
the center of the bottom shelf as pos
sible. Never leave cake standing
in the tin in which it is baked-it will
make it heavy.

probability of any such thing being
done on a commercial scale is SO very
remote as to hardly warrant discus
sion.
In a general talk on the subject
Prof. F. W. Clarke of the geological
survey, said:
Nobody can say positively that any
development in chemistry is absolute
ly out of the question, but 1t is very
safe to say that any revolutionary de-
velopment is most unlikely. A revo-
lutionary development by an amateur
is even more unlikely. All we can say
is that we have not even had an in
telligent statement yet of what DR..
Lange claims to have accomplished.
and we have absolutely no details on
which to base judgment.
"Transmutation has been sought as
far back as we have any records.
Paracelsus was comparatively modern.
1t goes back even to Babylonta and
Assyria., The old alchemists were not
so unreasonable as might be thought
in the way they argued, especially In
view of chemical knowledge or lack
of knowledge at that time. They
argued that 1t was possible to turn
wood into charcoal, and therefore that
1t ought to be possible to turn one
metal into some other.
THE work of Ramsay IN England is
different, of course, but that is In the
line of transmutation. He has man
aged to turn radium into helium. He
has published his methods and ! have
seen his work. But there is big gulf
between laboratory experiment deal
ing with a ten-thousandth of grain
and making any commercial use of
the same thing. Ramsay's work has
all been in the line of degradation, OF
reducing a material of higher atomic
weight to that of a lower.
But as l say, laboratory work and
commercial work are very different.
1t is true that artificial diamonds have
been made in France. They were true
diamonds, but they were too small to
be of any use, They cost more to
make also than natural diamonds cost
to find. Some man may come along
in time and improve the process. and
it may be possible then to manufac-
ture QldmOnOS u COLupSlc Will 'hc
natural ones.
There is a great deal Of self-decep-
ton about such work also. Nearly all
lead contains a trace of silver. and
much of the commercial copper
trace of gold. By modern methods
this gold is extracted and 1t some
times pays the expense of refining the
copper. Many of the old alchemists
found the precious metals In this way
and thought they actually had made
the rarer metal out of the baser.
"Of course, there has been a great
amount of trickery in such work. 1t
is easy enough to put an amount OF
gold or silver into a crucible and
then claim to have made it. You can
claim almost anything that it would
be hard to disprove and impossible to
prove. can claim that there is
vein of gold carrying $1,000 ton un-
der the base of the Washington monu-
ment. but it would hardly pay to dig
for it. If DR.. Lange has done anything
it will be time enough to discuss it
when we have his method of opera
ton in detail"
There is no record in the treasury
of DR.. Lange having passed any ma
terial through the mint.
