FORTUNE IN HIS LUCKY COIN
Pocket Piece, Carried by Man for 56
Years, Proves to Be Worth
$4,000.

The grimly humorous goddess OF for
tunes good and Ill never wrought for
the heroes of Scheherazade or a
Hans Anderson a stranger trick than
that by which she recently thrust
fortune into the pocket OF an unsus-
pecting grocer's clerk OF Los Angeles.
He is Charles L. Cross, clerk for
Frank A. Vale. grocer OF South
Main street. For nearly fifty-five years
he has carried as lucky pocket piece
silver half dollar of the same date
as the year of his birth, 1858.
And 1t has justified his faith in its
lucktness at last, for from being mere
ly battered and war worn four bit
piece OF ancient vintage and doubtful
beauty 1t has suddenly leaped to rel
atively enormous value as the second
known coin of that date in existence.
twenty-five hundred dollars was re-
fused with scorn by the owner Of the
only other 1853 half dollar known to
exist-rated as the most valuable coin
now in the exhibit of the American
Numismatic association in Chicago.
There are few individual coins OF
STedicE Ndlue ny TeCOTQ Ol tuelT TdIlty
than the 1853 half dollar, even the his
toric dollar OF 1904 taking a back seat
when 1t comes to relative scarcity.
More than half century ago in his
native town of Niles. Mich, the coin
was given to Cross as a birthday pres
ent because 1t was struck off in the
same year Of his birth. 1t went into
the pocket of young Charles first pair
of pants and in his trousers pocket it
has remained ever since.
Cross is now fifty-eight years old
and his life has not always been an
easy one. He has seen the time when
his lucky piece was silent in his pock
ct because there was not even a penny
there to jingle with 1t. There have
been times when he has taken the
four bits from its resting place and
was about to sacrifice 1t for its equiv
alent in bread and beans because, ex-
cept for 1t. he was absolutely dead
broke. hungry and without where to
lay his head
There has always been in the back
of his head the whimsical idea that it
would some time bring him luck. And
1t has brought him luck.

Egg Substitutes In Great Britain.

An American firm making an egg
substitute desires information as to
the opening for its sale In Great
Britain. This article is already sold
more extensively in this country than
in the United States. 1t is of British
manufacture and is sold by almost
every grocery. One brand of egg pow.
der sells at eight to sixteen cents per
tin according to size, and another at
eight to fourteen cents. or eleven
cents per dozen small packets. There
is also product called Ego which is
stated to consist OF new laid eggs in
the form OF powder which is retailed
at twenty-three cents per carton. The
substitutes referred to are not sold
through agents, but directly by the
makers to the various retail stores
and grocers: they are we'll known and
widely used. There is no duty on the
importation OF egg substitutes into
Great Britain provided sugar does not
form component part; when it does
duty is assessed according to the
proportion and polarization ascer.

WHERE PLATINUM IS FOUND
Rare Metal In Small Quantities Usu-
ally 10 Associated With Gold
In Gravel Beds.

Platinum is found associated with
gold, principally In gravel beds. The
ordinary source Is accumulations OF
gravel which have been eroded from
extensive area and gradually concen-
trated in one locality by the continued
action of water. 1t is a rare metal
and the accumulation must be from a
great extent of country IL a paying
deposit is to be developed.
Platinum is Of silver gray color
which is rarely tarnished. Its devol-
opment is similar to gold, except that
where gold is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark colored rocks, and espe-
cially those of a greenish shading.
It is found only in small quantities,
except at two or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi.
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
but not sufficiently concentrated to be
of Importance. 1t may be looked for
among the formations adjacent to re-
gions of old volcanic activity.
The distribution is principally in al
tered rocks, and segregation seems to
have been the principal cause con-
tributing to its collection in ore
bodies The deposits found up to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not of great ex-
tent, consequently all platinum de-
posts must be considered with eau
tion.
OF the rare metals associated with
platinum. iridium. osmium, palladium
and others, little need be said because
of their rarity. If found they will be
associated with platinum and will be
known by the greater hardness,
brighter surface and greater specific
gravity.-Moody's Magazine.

THREAD DOES SLEUTH WORK
Scheme to Get Rid Of Trouble
some Shoplifter.

The manager of a local department
store took an efficacious method of
ridding himself of troublesome pet
ty shoplifter recently. The woman has
been coming into the store and pick
ing up a small remnant, spool Of
thread, thimble or other article that
happened to be lying about, having
little intrinsic value, but being never
theless source of annoyance to both
the clerk and the management. Be-
cause of the position Of the woman,
it was undesirable to institute an ac-
tion.
A few days ago the manager took a
spool of silk from the case. fastened
the loose end Of the thread with a
tack, and allowing a bit Of slack, left
1t upon the counter. 1t was not long
before his party arrived. and deftly
dropping the spool into her shopping
bag. started out. The manager de-
tached the loose end and followed her
up the street. few yards in the rear.
He trailed her into another downtown
store, and, as she was standing beside
q counter in the midst Of crowded
array Of bargain seekers. approached
her. calmly winding his thread and po-
litely said:
Madame, I'll trouble you for that
spool Of thread"
What followed can be more easily
imagined than described. He got the
thread and has not been troubled with
losses since, nor have the other stores,
SO far as may be learned.-Milwaukee

New French Art Match Boxes.


Art in France is hereafter to be con-
nected with match boxes. The minis
try Of finance, having to renew the
supply. decided some time ago that as
not every Frenchman has leisure to
study the pictures in the Louvre. the
opportunity should be given him Of
admiring them on his match boxes.
Some Of these have hitherto been Or
namented with the heads Of the IA
nous generals Of the revolution. The
generals will now have to retire and
make way for the Rembrandts. The
Van Dycks, and the Watteaus Of the
Louvre. Foreigners and travellers
generally will also find it an advant-
age. Instead Of spending hours and
days In the museums and getting foot
sore in front Of miles Of pictures they
have only to buy matches, or. rather,
boxes with few sulphur sticks inside.
1t is quite assuring to know that, with
all its concern for art, the state mo-
nopoly will not forget to give US a
few matches with the Rembrandts.
The price also Is to remain the same
as before. and the quality Of the con-
tents-well. the officers of the govern
ment regie themselves assure US that
1t cannot possibly be worse.

Bearded "ladles.~

NJ. Brandt. a Danish professor.
comes to the conclusion that bearded
ladies in time to come will be the or
der of the day. Ladies with boards
who are now to be seen may be re-
garded as the precursors Of the future
race. and the professor comes to the
conclusion that the more masculine
woman becomes in her habits SO much
the more will she be In appearance.
He does not think that bearded ladies
will become general until at least two
centuries have elapsed. His investi.
cations show that the number Of wo-
men with traces of mustaches, al
though clearly visible. increases but
slowly. The Paris contemporary from
which we take the foregoing suggests
that the professor has missed the
great point which he might have made
and that is that as the number of
men who shave increases daily II
would follow that women would en-.
deavor to grow boards from sheer
perversity.

JAPAN FORMS AN ACADEMY

Japan is going in for sort Of acad-

commission will be to criticise contem,

and plays; to offer prizes for special
literary excellence, to collect literary
works in prize competition and to un-
dertake the translation of western lit
erature.
The government censors have re-
Gently suppressed many works Of fic-
ton deemed prejudicial to the public
morals and this has resulted in much
bitterness by the literary world
against the authorities.

a literary boom Immediately following
the Russo-Japanese war, but that now
literature seems to be in the depths of
depression, due to the interference of

GOOD MATERIAL FOR FLOOR
French Inventor Has Devised combi-
nation Of Concrete and carborun-
dunn for Severe Use.

There has always been difficulty in
finding a material for flooring which
will successfully withstand the grind
ing action Of a constant procession OF
persons over 1t, as at the entrances OF
large railroad stations, but a French
inventor has devised a combination OF
concrete and carborundum which has
been experimental with in Paris. and
the results have been found to be su-
perior to anything else which has
been devised for the purpose. A
flight Of steps built OF this combine
tion showed no perceptible wear after
they had been used by an estimated
army Of 100000 persons who passed
over It. This is a very severe test. for
in going up and down public stair
ways persons follow the shortest line.
80 that the great majority OF those
using 1t follow the same path, the
wear and tear Is very great in pro-

GREAT BUBBLE OF LAVA

Mail advices from Honolulu tell OF

square feet, and he was fortunate
enough to secure few photographs,

The bubble was a huge sausage
shaped affair, inflated with volcanic
gas and composed Of lava glass;" says

fountain. boiling continuously under
the eastern end. gave the appearance

There was an island Of black crust
which. when 1t began to sink. evolved
a great quantity Of gas, which blew the

sustained the island and prevented It
from sinking. 1t made several tours
of the lava before 1t disappeared from

''Yes, do say. Many years ago a

Of the deaf mutes got seasick. This

a seasick voyager with cotton, and the
voyager, thus deafened, got right up
from his sick bed and ate a seven

been realized that the stomach nerves

It does not appear that this plan will remove the objections which have been raised against the working of the men in the mines. It is not charged that the companies i'll treat the men. and the main argument has been that they are put into haz- srdous occupation without their own consent Many of them are unfa miliar with mining. which largely in- creases the risk.
