MAKING MONEY WITH GAS
Dp-to-Date Equipment Installed In
New Melting House Of Brit
ish Mint.

Four tons of gold will on an aver
age be melted down each working day
In the wonderful new melting house
now being completed for service next
year at the royal mint, near the Tow
er of London.
The new melting house will be the
most complete In the world. 1t is
much larger than the existing one,
and Is to contain ten furnaces, all
heated by gas The present melting
house has only four such furnaces.
Gas furnaces alone are now used at
the royal mint for the melting down
of precious metal. coke furnaces hay
ing been finally banished in March
last. No less an amount than ESQ.,
100000 worth of gold has been melted
down by gas since the special furnaces
were introduced.
Many experiments were carried out
before gas was accepted as the best
medium for the melting. In connec-
ton with the tests Mr. Rigg, the super
intendent of the operative department,
paid a number of visits to factories
in London and the country and made
tour in Canada and the United
States with the object of obtaining
evidence as to the value of gas as
fuel. At length a special type Of fur
mace WAS designed by officials at the
mint, and gas burner made by Mr. S.
~ Brayshow, OF Manchester, was
adopted.

OLD HOMES ARE GOING FAST
"Before the War" Mansions of the
South, With Their Romance,
Are Disappearing.

The grand old before TIE war"
homes, stepped in romance and dear
to the heart of the children of tie old
south. are fast going. Set in g grove
Of oaks. the big house with its impos-
ing columns, ample yerandas and its
air Of hospitality and cheer, soon will
be no more. Some Of these old man
sions have fallen into wreck and
ruin; hundreds have been burned
The surviving ones are relics of an
age that is past.
For several years there has been a
movement in the south for smaller
farms. This movement has been con-
stantly accelerated And it means
much for the welfare of this section.
The old plantations were manageable
only when labor could be relied upon
and when one person was willing to
pass his life In the employment Of
another.
The south is becoming more utili-
tartan. Descendants of those caval-
iers who charged with Rupert and
melted their plate to support the tot
tering throne OF an unworthy Stuar.s
have scanned their lessons well. Life
Is activity, hurry and turmoil. 1t
still would be an elysian existence
forever to loiter in the shade and yell
to Pompey for another julep-but 1t
Is no longer practicable.
This month will see two of the fine
old plantation homes of Barbour
county go under the hammer. His
toric Roseland and the splendid Pugh
estate alike are to be sold. Some Of
these days when the south gets enor-
mously wealthy again the grand old
times may be revived Birmingham

First Woman on English Stage.

January is an important anniver-
sary In the development of the Brit
ish drama, for upon this date IN 1861
Pepys went to the Clare Market thea
ter, saw the "Beggars Bush" well per-
formed and records, "the first time
that ever saw women come upon the
stage"
Previously all female parts had been
taken by boys or young men, The
change was probably suggested by
Charles II. from his continental expert
ence, and arose from an amusing cpl
sode. The king had gone to the thea
ter before his time, and finding the
actors not ready, asked for an ex-
PLANTATION, whereupon he was gravely

STRANGE CRATER IN ARIZONA
biologists Have offered Several The
cries to Account for This Singular
Phenomenon.

About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the midst of a great plain,
there is saucer-shaped hollow about
of mile across and
900 feet deep. The rim of this strange
crater rises between $50 and 200 feet
above the surrounding plain. Rocky
fragments are scattered for several
miles around the crater. Among these
rocks many fragments of meteoric
iron, some containing minute black
diamonds, have been found. The In
ner walls show that the crust OF the
earth was broken when the crater was
, formed, yet no volcanic rocks exist
there. Geologists have offered several
I theories to account for this singuIal
phenomenon One is that an immens'
meteorite made the hole, and that thu
meteoric fragments just mentioned ar
4 remnants of the falling star. Another
! theory ascribes the origin of the era
ter to tremendous explosion of steam
in the rocks beneath, and a third COM
bines the first two by suggesting that
the blow of falling meteor, striking
the earth's crust at point where
subterranean water had accumulated
in the neighborhood of heated rocks,
was the cause of the explosion.

There is mourning in one Of the
large department stores because of
the death of a saleswoman who was
probably as well known in New York
as any one OF the great sisterhood.
Little Ellen" as every one called Der
because she always retained the name
by which she was known when she
became an employee of the house thir-
ty-f1ve years ago, was for many years
at the head Of the glove selling de-
partment and had customers by the
hundred, who would be served only by
her. She knew the sizes of gloves
they wore. and had many friends
among her patrons, forwhom she Sc
ilected gloves when they were small
children. At holiday times she was al
ways literally remembered by them,
and her death is regretted as much by
them as by her associates and employ
ers.

Hearing Before Court.

A delegation of citizens from the
Red Oak road Improvement district
called on the commissioners court
Friday afternoon with complaints
relative to the Improvement of the
roads in that district. 1t is said the
funds are insufficient to gravel all
the roads In the district, and this
has caused some dissension. One
faction wants road leading west
from Red Oak graveled while citi-
zans from the Rocket community
want the improvement made on a
road extending from Red Oak in the
direction of that town. The commits
sioners agreed to, make tour OF
inspection of the respective roads

as much interest In theatrical cir

performance of Balfes favorite

never before in America has this
