Today the plant is one of the largest

Very little is known, by most peo-
pie. as TO how laces are made by ma

10000 pounds can be made TO pump
water or crush stone, or to saw logs

most Americans have seen them; but
how machines weighing eight tons
can be capable OF manufacturing the
most delicate laces is more difficult
to understand.
From 3,400 to $500 bobbins are re-
quired to thread one lace machine, be-
sides the beam and warp, making a

of $4,000 threads in actual work.

Prisoner Draws Map Showing Tree
Under Which He Buried Them.
A package containing 143 counter
felt ten dollar banknotes was found
buried beneath tree on an island In
Jackson park, Chicago, by Captain
Thomas |. Porter of the United States
secret service. The bills were recov-
cred after a confession from Albert
Leon, said TO be a Russian political
refugee and the head Of successful
counterfeiting outfit. The notes are
believed by Captain Porter to be the
last Of their kind unaccounted for.
For months bills of this denomina-
ton have been circulated in the west.
They were made, according to Cap
tain Porter, in a log cabin at Nootka
island, off British Columbia. Rudolph
Swanson and Fred Maineek were the
first members Of the crowd arrested.
Leon evaded the secret service men
for some time, but was taken just as
he was about to board boat for Eu-
rope. After being questioned for two
days he confessed to burying the mon
ey and drew a map of where 1t could
be found. The notes were on Buffalo
banks, the National Bank Of Tyrone,
Pa; the First National Bank Of Will

STOP BANK OVERDRAFTS.
Comptroller of Currency Aets-Avsr-
age of $4,000, 900 a Year.

Comptroller of the Currency Murray
has undertaken to destroy by moral
suasion the practice Of banks OF per
hitting customers to oyerdraw their
deposits. He instructed the national
bank examiners to take up the ques-
ton with the national banks through
out the country. calling to their atten-
ton laws enacted by the states on the
subject and a decision by the supreme
court of the United States severely
criticislng the practice.
The national bank act is silent on
the question of overdrafts, and the
comptroller expects TO accomplish the
abolition of the custom By pointing out
its evils. The overdrafts in national
banks. as reported on the call Of the
comptroller OF the currency, averaged
S33. 100000 in the last i've years. The
high water mark was S53,000,OOO. and
the lowest amount reported was $685.

STERILIzED
WATER FOR THE ARMY.
New Scientific Method TO Kill of
Germs In Philippines.

Drinking water for the army VIII
be sterilized by electricity as a result
Of experiments made by the tropical
board Of the medical corps. Like
many other valuable discoveries OF ar
my medical officers, this latest system
Of treating drinking water may be
adopted In civil life Drinking water,
1t seems, can be purified more cheaply
by electricity than by the universal
method of boiling.
At the same time the "live" taste of
drinking water will be retained. All
malculae. according to the report Of
the tropical board. can be dispatched
by a single flash of the rays from an
electric bulb. These rays are known
technically as ultra violet rays.
The board has been experimenting
in the Philippines with ultra violet
rays for more than a year. In the is
lands more soldiers have been killed
by impure drinking water than by
Filipino bullets. 1t has been found al
most impossible to induce the soldiers
to boil their drinking water, and they
too often have preferred to take
chances Of impurities of the surface
water In the islands rather than drink
the fat, boiled liquid.
The work Of producing ultra violet
rays will be a very simple one at the
posts. most Of which have electrical
plants. For troops in the field It is
to furnish a small gasoline
engine to run a miniature electric
plant. II is not the heat from the
electric bulb that kills the germs, but
the ultra violet rays
