Friends of the Pan

bill postponed until next session. Con
gress is rapidly shaping for adjourn

prospect of agreement.
Senator Brandcgee, in charge of the
bill, is not pressing its passage.
Bristow of Kansas said he thought
an amendment was being made TO kill
the bill by postponing, and that he did
not intend TO permit it. The railroad
interests are working hard for post
ponement.
Senator Brandegee is openly hostile
TO the railroad provisions contained IN
the bill which he himself reported
from the committee.

amson is likely hostile to both the free
toll and railroad provisions being

UNDER CROSS FIRE ROBIN FORGED TO
 MAKE ADMISSIONS

New York, Nov. 22-Under cross ex- animation Joseph G. Robin, banker, stuck to his story, today, that Charles H. Hyde had threatened to take all of the funds out of the defunct North ern bank of which Robin was the head, if he did not lend the Carnegie Trust Co.,. $130, GOO Robin was on the stand for further rosS-questioning by Max D. Steuer counsel for the defen- dant, when the trial of the former city chamberlain charged with bribery was resumed.
 steuer's rapid fire questions put Robin through a severe test First he was examined as to his former finan- cial exploits, then as to his sanity and finally as to his assumption of ed to tell his real name, saying that it might ''incriminate him in another country"
 Attorney Steuer, by dint of many adroitIy framed questions, finally got before the jury the fact that the Car negie Trust company owed all Of the Robin institutions at the time of the loan of $130,000 which forms the basis for the present trial. This was design ed to show that Robins personal in terest and not threat by Hyde was really responsible for, Robin making the loan.
 The questions were extremely 1n- volved and technical but the defense managed to secure q great number Of admissions from the witness which they Fsearaesi to cone der important

Sir Philip sidney outdons.

In the seventh century wars between Denmark and Sweden a wounded Dane was about to raise wooden. bot tie of water when a cry reached him from a wounded Swede stretched on the ground at little distance. The good Dane, using the words of Sir Philip Sidney, stumbled to the side of his enemy and, saying, Thy need is greater than mine.'' skneeled down and offered the water to his lips. But the Swede, suddenly raising pistol. fired and wounded the Dane in the shoul- der.
 'tRascalF' cried the twice wounded soldier of DeEmark.4alsI T would have befriended you, and you yvo rlId murder me fin return. Now will punish you. would have given you the whole bot tie, but now you shall have only half"

Why Metals9uss,

Gold does not tarnlsh like other metal because 1t is not acted upon by oxygen or water. It Is the moisture i'm the atmosphere which causes other metals to tarnish, owing to their ox1- dation. Water contains a large pro- portion of oxygen. and it is the oxygen, of course, in the moist air combining with the surface of the metals that covers them with tarnish. Platinum, like gold, resists the influence of oxy- gen and moisture and when pure nei- ther rusts nor tarnishes. Aluminium also does not rust, neither hot nor cold water having any action upon it. The hydrogen of the atmos- phere, which 50 readily tarnishes sil- yer, has no effect upon aluminium, which under ordinary circumstances preserves it's appearance as perfectly as gold does. Silver tarnishes on ex- posture to the air. the agent producing this effect being the sulphur. Iron is the metal which tarnishes and rusts most easily, its oxidization proceeding until the metal is completely eaten or burnt away with the rust.

g. ss..s The Bicvcte.

 < From the best accounts it appears that the first bicycle-meaning by the term a two wheeled machine for hu- man locomotion-was made in France about the year 1915. This pioneer ma chine was very awkward affair, con- sisting of a couple of heavy wooden wheels of equal diameter, one behind the other and joined together by lon gitudinal wooden bar on which the rid CTS seat was fixed, the mode of pro- pu1sion being the pushing of the feet against the ground. Not for fifty years was any real progress made. In 1869 the machine with the big driving wheel with the little hind wheel was invent ed by Mfchaux of Paris, and a few years later came the safety which, with many improvements, is the ma chine we have today.-New York American.
