"Headless coaches" are fairly num- erous. The most famous is tho one that drives once year, on the ami. versary of Anne Boleyn's execution. up the avenue at Blicking, her Nor. folk home, says the London Chronicle. The coachman and the four horses have not a head between them, and Anne's own is not upon her shoulders, but she holds 1t in her lap as she sits in the coach all in white At the hall door the whole apparition vanishes. Anne's father, Sir Thomas, also rides in coach drawn by headless horses once a year, and his ride is much more exciting than his daughters.

BONE 0N HIS BRAIN
Removal May Restore Victim to
 His Right Mind.
New York Man Recovers Speech After Operation and Surgeons Believe Frequent Attacks of insanity
 VIII Now Cease.

New Haven, Conn.--Removal of a piece of patients skull which had come in contact with the brain brought back the power of speech to Harry Wiltse of 154 Plymouth street
 For six months Mir. Wiltse had been unable to utter word, but when Dr. Morris D. SIattery, who per. formed the operation in the presence of dozen or more prominent sur. geons in the city, came into the op- erating room again after leaving it to see another patient. Mir. Wiltse raised his head from the pillow, and In a distinct but low tone said: Hello. Doc"
 There was great surprise at the mo ment and the news quickly circulated to the physicians who had been in terested in the case. They proclaim. ed the belief that when MT. Wiltse fully recovers his strength. his speech would be as good as ever. They also believe that frequent attacks of insan. ity. the result of injury to MT. wiltses head 21 years ago, will cease. The operation was performed in the hos pitai of St. Raphael.
 The Injury to MT. Wiltse. who Is S6 years old. came to him when he was 15. He was playing ball near his home in Forty-fifth street. New York city, one afternoon, when he was run over by team, the horse stepping on a IT h scious to a hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured He remained in the hospital about six months, but as result of the injury insanity developed.
 He was later sent to the insane asy- lum in Middletown. N. Y, and after a few years there he was released as cured Three years ago. however, he became insane again. and was once more removed to the asylum. While at the institution he had lucid inter vals, followed by cIouded reason. Aft CT treatment for about year he was released and came to this city. He made his home with his brother. John Wiltse. an electrical worker. Last summer his condition again com celled his removal to the state asy- tum in Norwich for few months.
 Last December Mir Wiltse was again taken to the Norwich asylum. After Q month there his condition became such that he could not utter a sound and re- mained in that state until the other day, when the operation wes perform ed. Now he talks rationaIly to his nurse. and the attending physicians be- lieve that he will be cured of ell insan- ity before long.

sterlIIzIna LlquIds.

Perfect sterilization of liquids by means of filtration only seems to be made possible on large scale through process originated by two French scientists and reported to the Academy of Scientists at a recent meeting. It is known that membranes of collodion have the property of re. taining all the microbes in a liquid filtered through them But they are very fragile and therefore impractical outside of the laboratory. By re-en- forcing the collodion membrane with fine wire screen imbedded in 1t, just as pane of glass is thus re-enforced, the two scientists constructed filter not only strong enough for practical purposes but so effective as to ex- clude even molecules of salts dis solved in the liquid.

TONS OF CASH FILL DOCK
Money Treasure on Pier unuuarded Because Face Value Doesn't Exceed
 s4--comes From Korea.

New York.--Fourteen hundred tons of cash money was tossed ashore the other day when the steamship Seneca came alongside her pier at the Bush docks, Brooklyn, but no special police were on hand to guard the treasure. for the face value of all this money would no' aggregate s4.
 The Sehsca comes from various eastern ports. She takes out oil from New York and returns with a noade> script assortment of freight Coinci- dent with the annexation of Korea, the Japanese government announced the substitution of Japanese money for the Korean coinage. The Korean banks immediately called in all the existing currency and the Korean hints started working overtime to make yen.
 The Korean. who is not fin the habit of buying luxuries. seldom car ried anything larger than cash" & coin about the size of an American cent A thousand "cash" were the equivalent of an American dollar.
 AS the native scorns purse, and as the women never wear stockings. the government thoughtfuily stamps a square aperture through the center of the coin so that the native may string them together and carry them around his neck. To the Korean mind that fs both convenient and ornamen. tai In fact, the Korean society belle used tt get quite worked up if her particular rival carried more strings of ''cash" than she did.
 It was not long before an American syndicate learned that all the wealth of Korea was lying around in heaps, and that moss was growingfon it. Ne. gotiations were started and before long the s00.000 tons of accumulated cash had been purchased and the con. signment on the Seneca is the first shipment brought to this port.
 The syndicate will melt the coins and extract from thew the silver and the copper of which they are made The silver and copper will be sold to the government. whose hints will use them in turning out big silver dol. lars anc little red cents.
