Alleged Bank Robbers Arrested.

Alleged Bank Robbers Arrested.
 Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 20.-In the arrest of five men at Morris and Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the past 20 days, officers believe that they have five of the six robbers who robbed banks at Dardanelle and Fulton, Arkansas, September 30 and October 2. links and William Starling, brothers, sons of a Coweta, Oklahoma, minis ter, and Clad Burton were ar rested at Morris Sunday in a res taurant which they had pur- chased, and George B. Thomp- son and Richard Reynolds are in jail at Tulsa on a minor charge. The Startling brothers and Burton were taken from here to McAlester this morning to a. wait extradition proceedings The suspected men were arrest ed after a clue furnished by a wound in Starling's hand had been investigated by the officers. BELIEVE FIVE ARE YEGGS.
 Dardanelle, Oct. 2O.-Reputy Sheriffs Joe Gault and J. l.. Carpenter have gone to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after the five youths held there on suspicion of having robbed the bank here.
 A message from one of the officers says it is practically cer- tain that the arrested youths are the ones who perpetrated the robbery here. According to the message, a friend of the ar rested youths has confessed that they sought to induce him to join with them in & series of bank robberies in Arkansas. He refused, it is said, but when he fell under suspicion and the of- ficers questioned him, he is said to have confessed.
 It is probable that Governor Hays will be asked tomorrow to issue requisition papers.
 w. L. Wick, a Little Rock pri- vate detective in the employ of the American Bankers Associa- ton, has been in Oklahoma for several days Investigating the cases of the five Oklahoma youths who are suspected of having perpetrated the bank robberies at Dardanelle and Fulton. MT. Wick will probably return tomorrow.

CLOSE GUARD ON INVENTIONS
How Secret Processes of Manufacture
Were Preserved in olden Days
Little Faith in Laws.

II would appear that our forefathers
had little faith in patent laws to pro
tect their rights in Inventions. remarks
an exchange What they discovered
or invented they concealed. Workmen
were put upon oath never to reveal
the process used by their employers.
Doors were kept closed, artisans going
out were searched. visitors were rig.
orously excluded from admission and
false operations blinded the workmen
themselves. The mysteries of every
craft were hedged In by thick set
fences of empirical ssetensions and
judicial affirmation, The royal manu-
factories of porcelain, for example,
were carried on in Europe with spir-
1t of jealous exclusiveness.
The king of Saxony was especially
circumspect. Not content with the
oath of secrecy imposed upon his work
people, he would not abate his hngiy
suspicion in favor OF brother mon
arch. Neither king nor kings dele
gates might enter the tabooed walls of
Meissen. What is enormously called
the Dresden porcelain was produced
for zoo years by process so secret
that neither the bribery of princes MOI
the garrullty of the operatives re
vealed It,
Other discoveries have been less
successfully guarded, fortunately for
the world The manufacture of tin
ware in England originated in Il stolen
secret. Few persons need to be in
formed that tinware Is simply thin
iron plated with tin by being dipped
into the molten metal. In theory 1t is
an easy matter to clean the surface
of iron, dip 1t into bath of boiling
tin, remove 1t enveloped with a sill
very metal to place for cooling.
In practice. however, the process is
one of the most difficult in the indus
trial arts. 1t was discovered in Hol-
land, and guarded from publicity with
the utmost vigilance for more than
half century,
! England tried in vain to discover
the secret until one James Sherman
Cornish miner, insinuated himself
into the works, became master OF the
| secret and brought 1t home.

WEARS WIFE's BODY IN RING

An ingenious method of disposing of
the ashes of cremated body was re-
corded in London After woman
had been cremated the husband took
the ashes to a chemist for the pur-
pose of extracting the iron, which he
is now wearing set in his ring as one
would wear diamond.
The amount of iron in a human
body, according to the statement of
well-known analytical chemist, Is at
best very small-a matter of grains
and it varies very much according to
the state of health. Anemic people
have very slight traces OF iron in
their bodies, but in normal persons
there is enough to use, as 1t has been
used, In place of a stone in ring.
The London Cremation company

known woman who always carried the
ashes of her late husband about with
her, and gave instructions that, when
her end came, her body was to be Gre
mated and the ashes mixed with those
of her husband. With the growth in
the number of cremation cases it Is
becoming quite usual practice to
have the ashes compressed into a
small tablet, with a short inscription
stamped upon 1t.

CURIOUS TOWERS OF CHINA

The Chinese for ages back have
been great road builders in stone The
wall surrounding China is not only
one of the wonders of the world from
a scenic standpoint, but it is likewise
huge engineering undertaking.
China has many curious stone towers
scattered throughout the country. In
some of these structures, built pre-
sumably for defensive purposes and
idol-worship centuries ago, the archi-
tectural features are attractive, and
the masonry Is marvelously carried
out. The floor and foundations, as In
the case of the towers themselves, are
of solid stone, and the winds and
storms of hundreds of years have not
swayed the high mass of material out
of plumb, so there are, SO far as re-
corded, no leaning towers in China
Somehow on many of these old struc-
lures vegetation finds soil enough to
sprout in, regardless of the fact that
the eyesight reveals nothing but
crumbling stone and mortar.

AID FOR COMING ASTRONOMY
One Large Observatory to Be Main
talned With Three Stations
Work Watched Carefully.

The coming astronomy, thinks Prof.
Edward c. Pickering of Harvard, will
find at least one large observatory
with 100 or 200 assistants, and
maintaining three stations Two of
these will be observing stations,
one in the western part of the
United States, the other probably
in South Africa. The locations will
be selected wholly from climatic
conditions, moderately high, from s.
600 to 10000 feet, in desert regions.
Each observatory will have telescopes
and other instruments of the largest
size, which will be kept at work
throughout the whole of every clear
night The observers will do little
in the day, except perhaps on the sun,
and will not undertake much of the
computation or reductions.
This last work will be carried on at
third station, which will be near a
large city, where the cost Of living
and Of intellectual labor Is low The
photographs will be measured and
stored at this station, and the results
published.
The WORK OF all three stations will
be carefully organized SO as to obtain
the greatest result for given expen-
diture. Every inducement will be Of
fered to visiting astronomers and to
students.
