At New York the sharp teeth and claws of Clayton. leopard. nearly cost the life of Mrs. Pauline Russelle, his trainer. but the length and strength of his tail saved her. Clayton would not perform. Mrs. Russelle prodded him with an iron bar and called to hcr assistant for aid. In the instant of turning her head to call. the leopard leaped. He bore the woman to the ground and stood over her. growing md flashing his tail.

PHILIPPINE OPPORTUNITIES.

Future of the Lumber Industry- b.. ManiIa's Fine Waterways.
 The United States government for several years has been at an enormous annual expense in coaling in Japan the transpacific transports. war vessels and interisland fleets pertaining to the Philippine service, Cassier's Magazine says Recently however. the rich coal fields in Baton, Rappu-Rappu and Cararay islands. in the Gulf of Albay, have been placed in operation.
 Lately President Taft ordered that , Mango and Nagtagan islands be added to the government reservation com posed of Batan and adjacent islands. These islands. all situated closely to- gether. though small, are nevertheless rich in a very fine grade of coal. the amount of which. it is known, will supply all needs for many years to come.
 There lies ahead of the hardwood and furniture industries of the Philip pines a splendid future. The islands possess the most beautiful woods in the world and they are reaching their development just at a time when the world is looking for hardwoods. The timber is not located in thick stands. but is well scattered. covering, it has been estimated, an area aggregating 10000 900 acres. Of this great amount less than l per cent is under private ownership.
 Most of these woods, which have no equal in richness of color. durability, brilliance of polish and size of tim bers. are difficult to transport by water. Their texture is so close and their specific gravity so great that they quickly sink.
 Their weight averages about seventy five pounds to the cubic foot; height. from 50 to 100 feet, their natural an- nual growth being estimated bV the

NIGHT To1LERs IN BANKS.

Some Money Repositories Work Cler-
 icnI Forces Continuously
 Four big banks in the Wall street district resemble the great gold mines of the West in one striking feature, Harper's Weekly says. They have three eight-hour shifts of toilers, and the work never stops. One set takes up the routine where the other leaves off. All night long, Sundays and holi- days. a staff of men in each of these banks is busy opening thousands of letters, sorting and listing innumera- ble checks and drafts that represent fabulous sums of money and getting them ready for the day force, which is the only one the public comes in con tact with or ever hears about If this work was not carried on necessarily the banks would soon be overwhelmed with a mountainous accumulation of detail.
 Two shifts-the scouting force." as they call themselves between in the afternoon and the next morn ing. Each bank has big drawer in the general postofice. Messengers clear this of it's letters every hour all night long. Three thousand letters a day is the average mail of one of these large banks Two-thirds of it comes .n during the night These letters. in the case of one O. the biggest of these banks, contain from 35.000 to 10000 checks and drafts. At times these in- closures represent as much as $3O,- OOO, ,00O Rarely does the total fall be- low S2O,OOO,O00.

Mons F. Bordas informs the French Academy of Sciences that very remark able effects upon the color, and conse' quently the value, of germs of the crystallized alumina variety may be produced by heat. Exposure to tenn perature of 572 degrees Fahrenheit, maintained for a long time. causes the yellow color of Oriental topaz and of artificial yellow corundum to disap- pear. The rare gem known as the Ori- ental emerald may be produced by sub jecting a sapphire-blue stone to the temperature above mentioned. On the other hand, according to Bordas' ex- periments, the cathode rays have no effect upon the color of these stones. An explanation of the manner in which a soft steel disk revolving at a high velocity cuts hard steel has re- gently been sought with the aid of microscopic inspection. The result cor roborates the view hitherto held that the material acted upon is heated at the place of contact to the fusing point, and then brushed away. The 1 high temperature appears to be con fined very narrowly to the point ot contact, so that a thin gash Is cut The temperature of the revolving disk does not rise so high, because of the large surface area of the disk. The part of the disk in contact is con tinually changing, while the frictional energy is concentrated on very small area of the material subjected to its d. tion.
 Notwithstanding the frauds recent ly practiced with regard to the mak- ing of diamonds by artificial processes. the possibility of thus producing these precious gems exists, and has ire quently been demonstrated since the initial success of Professor Moissan. Sir William Crookes recently delighted an audience at the Royal Institution by showing the process of making ar tificial diamonds from carbon dissolved in liquid iron. The essentials are very high temperature, very high pressure. and pure iron as solvent. The dia- monds produced are only of micro scopic size, but they possess all the properties of natures own product, and when they are magnified about 50 diameters with microscope some of them present quite a formidable ap- pearance. In shape they recall the famous Cullinan diamond. the largest known in the world.
 Engineers are now becoming conf. dent of solving the problem of adjust ing the speed of the propeller to that of the turbine in ocean-going ships, on the basis of economical working for each. Hitherto the difficulty has been that the turbine requires a much higher speed of revolution than can be economically applied to the propelle-. Rear Admiral Melville and J. H. Macalpine have devised a double heli- cal spur gear which, as tested with d 5000 horse power turbine, seems to offer a practical solution of the diff culty It is pointed out that further experiments will be needed in applying such a gear to turbines of nearly 10000 horse power, like those of the giant Mauretania. but hopes are .n- tertained of success. When the prob lem is completely solved. it is predict ed that the turbine will practically wipe out the reciprocating engine for the propulsion of ships"
