Scaled ORDERS

The custom Of having warships sail
under sealed orders arose from the de-
sire OF maritime powers TO prevent the
plans from becoming known to the
enemy. In the American navy such
orders come from the president and
are delivered to a commander OF ship
or squadron by confidential messen-
ger who knows nothing of their con-
tents. Sometimes they are in cipher,
but they are always sealed with the
official seat OF the navy department.
and the package cannot be opened I'M
I'll the time marked on 1t. which IS
usually several hours after the hour
OF leaving port. BY this precaution
the newspapers are prevented from
disclosing prematurely the movements
which may be of the greatest impor-
lance. and the spies of the enemy are
rendered useless so far as their ahii-
ity 10 discover the secret OF such
movements is concerned.

The primrose of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super
stitious value. Even now In some
country parts decoction OF primrose
leaves is supposed to restore a failing

primrose was regarded as an almost
universal panacea. curing "convulsions,
falling sickness. palsies. etc. and
strengthening the brain. senses ard

fled Scientists For Years.
The story of the Keely motor hoax
will live long. Its interest will be en-
HANGED by the preservation In the
Franklin institute Of the model OF
the remarkable motor that Heely built
to deceive intending investors and en-
rich its inventor until the fraud was
exposed after Keely's death.
For twenty-five years Keely astound-
ed eminent scientists Of Europe and
America with the machine that he
claimed had solved the secret of per-
petual motion. The inventor of this
machine would start his device going,
apparently. by playing a tune on
mouth organ. He convinced many
clever men that he told the truth. and
stock in the new concern sold freely.
To the day of his death Keely de-
clared that his discovery was gen.

house In which the machine was
placed was thoroughly overhauled that

the subject of investigation Keely
would file them to show that they
were solid and could not be used for
any purpose other than that for which
they were attached
Pieces Of wire thus filed are TO be

broken pieces show that the wires
were hollow and that the inventor of
the wonderful motor carefully stopped

FORMATION or COAL.
Conditions on Our Planet While the
Process Developed.

PROCESS bcNttcpcu'
What may be said to be the stran-
gest period through which our earth
has passed is the one that was respon-
sible for the formation of coal. The
planet is described as having been at
that time fat and smooth as TO surface
and peculiar as 10 vegetation. The
continents were just beginning to rise
above the ocean and the land had not
yet become dry. Mountain ranges had
not arisen from the swamps. and the
atmosphere was thick with fog. In this
state of affairs there sprouted and
fiourished the plants which We're later
to furnish the world with its coal sup
ply.
These plants grew as big as our lar
gest trees. taking deep root In the mo-
rass and flourishing like the lush
grasses in moist meadow land and de-
veloped into the strange shapes now
found In tropic vegetation. The forest
looked, the scientists assure us. like
dense growths OF weeds, rushes and
enormous ferns Some OF them grew
in the shape Of cacti, having spines all
over them This kind of vegetation
was very rich in carbon. which 1t de-
rived from the warm. moist atmos-
phere. Then the millions of years roll
ed by. the forests of giant weeds were
buried by deposits OF earthly material
and the chemical change took place
which slowly changed them into coal.
This process ceased with the carbon
ferrous age, so that when the present
supply Of coal is dug out of the ground
there will be no more Exchange.

PACKING GOLD LEAF.
II Is "Handled,' So to Speak, by the Aid
of Puff of Breath.


The gold reaches the heaters first
In wide bars or nuggets. 1t must be
weighed. melted and made into inch
wide ribbons before the beating be-
rins. The ribbon Is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with a hammer
welded by a stalwart workman.
when each leaf has been beaten thin
1t is transferred to a mold where 1t is
beaten again for period OF four hours.
The beating Is accomplished by means
Of wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds ON a sheep
skin cushion resting on granite block.
The gold beaten is usually % or 70
carats fine. A little alloy of copper or
silver is added to make 1t spread. 1t
would be impossible for the beaters 10
handle perfectly pure gold.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
Of the breath than that of the hands
The operation Of transferring sheet
Of almost transparent gold leaf from
one place to another is OF such delica-
cy that 1t is possible TO accomplish IL
only by slight putf of the breath.
The packers are for the most part
girls, TO whom. after beating. the gold
leaf is handed.

the mold with pair of wooden pin

NEWSPAPER WAGON DRIVERS
WITHDRAW FROM A. F. OF L.
Newspaper Delivery Wagon Driv-
ers' Union No. 706, which seems to
have fallen completely under the
domination of William Randolph
Hearst, has withdrawn from the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, according
to Albert Spencer, its business agent.
The drivers took this action be-
cause the Chicago Federation of
Labor refused to kick out Delegate
William Kennedy Of the drivers at
the command of Hearst.
The drivers presented a resolution
to the federation some weeks ago
asking that the Hearst papers be
taken from the unfair list. Naturally
the resolution was beaten.
The man who put up the strongest
fight against the resolution was VIII
liam Kennedy. Since then all the
Hearst forces have been out to get
Kennedy's scalp. Having failed in
this, Hearst appears to have induced
the drivers to sulk and withdraw
from the federation.
The drivers also say they will show
their excellent trades union spirit by
helping distribute Simon O'DOnne1's
edition of Examiner.
