CHECKS ARE SIGNED
With A MACHINE
Clerks In Pension Office SIGN
100000 Papers Each Year.

Washington.-J. S. Jones and Will
liam Adreon each year sign in the
neighborhood of $4,000 checks, of an
aggregate face value of $1SO,OOO, 900,
Jones and Adreon are clerks in the
pension office, and the checks are
drawn to the order of pensioners.
Technically this money is disbursed
over the signature Of Guy o. Taylor,
the disbursing clerk of the bureau.
In TACT, however, it goes out over the
signature of J. S. Jones and William
Adreon.
A series of machines designed espe-
cially for it fills out the blank checks
with the name of the pensioner. the
amount due him or her and the name
of Guy O. Taylor, printed. But the
checks cannot be cashed until thew
are c6untersigned with an actual sig.
nature in ink. This is where Jones
and Adreon come in. But even two
men could not do this, and so machines
are again utilized-signagraphs as they
are called.
Each man goes through the motion
of signing his name, using a wooden
pen-like arrangement on which there
is really no point and no ink. This,
however. causes to move ten real foun-
tain pens, which actually inscribe the
name on ten checks placed beneath.
At each machine an assistant feeds in
the blocks Of checks, ten to block.
Instead of actually signing 800 200

Only Small Per Cent of Breakage In

Wash1ngton.-Thate eggs can be mar
keted successfully by parcel post is
the conclusion reached by the depart
ment Of agriculture as the result Of
extended experiments. 1t was dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of the de-
partment that this method of shipment
frequently secured better price for
the producer and fresher article for
the consumer.
The experiments, it is stated, fur
Their showed that the parcel post was
of particular value to the man whose
flock was too small or who lives too
far from express service to permit him
to ship his eggs in regular commercial
cases.
In the course of the experiments.
which extended over a period Of five
months, the department shipped 9.131
eggs in 466 lots by mail from various
points under varying conditions and
in different types of containers. Or
these 327. or slightly less than SO per
cent were broken. but only 300. or a
little less than 2.3 per cent. were alb
solutely wasted. The others, though
broken. could still be used
The percentage of breakage will be
greatly reduced, it Is said. when postal
employees become more accustomed to
handling such fragile matter.

uNW0RKED INDIAN
MOUNDS ARE FOUND
Six Groups With No Previous
Record Located In Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis.-Rich Indian finds
have been made recently in three coun-
ties of northern Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Archaeological society
is publishing an account of the explora-
tons conducted by two of it's members,
J. P. Schumacher of Green Bay and W.
A. Titus of Fond du Lac, in Portage.
Gently.
A study was made by these men,
both of whom are experienced investi-
gators, Of the aboriginal remains still
existing about Wausau, Merrill, Toma-
hawk, Heafford and other places along
the upper Wisconsin river.
Near Bradley and Heafford surveys
were made Of six distinct groups of In
dian earthworks of which there had
been no previous state record. The
largest of these consisted of thirty
three conical and oval mounds. An en-
blematic mound in one Of the groups is
the only one of it's class as yet located
in northern Wisconsin.
1t is more than sixty miles north of
the northernmost limit Of the effigy
mound territory. At this place there
also exists fine plot of old Indian gar
den beds.
In Portage county the work Of the
investigators was chiefly confined to
the regions about Lakes Emily and
Onneland, near each OF which impor-
tant discoveries were made.

Geological Survey Reports on States
Climate In Ancient Days.
Washington. - That the climate of
South Carolina and Georgia was once
almost tropical is one of the interest
ing conclusions announced by experts
of the geological survey after an ex.
haustive study of the fora of those
states. This vegetation grew during
upper cretaceous and eocene time, or,
as biologists say, at least, several mil
lion years ago. v--..
A study Of this fora, which has been
preserved in fossil form in the rocks,
indicates also that shallow seas extend
ed inland over 100 miles from the
present seaboard. that there was con-
siderable elevation Of the Piedmont
area to the west, that the river gradi-
ents were high and the streams nu-
merous and more or less torrential in
character and that there were swamps
along the lower courses of the streams.
The report states that the fossil
plants indicate there was mild
though not strictly tropical climate
without seasonal changes. There was
no evidence that frost occurred and
that the rainfall was abundant. Indi-
cations are. it is said, that in middle
eOcene time the climate. Of GEORGIA
was much warmer than during the up
per cretaceous epoch.

SPRINGS 22O DEGREES HOT.
Will Cook Eggs In Three Minutes and
Beans While You Wait.

VIII Cook Eggs In Three Minutes and
Beans While You Wait.
Portland, .Ore.-Springs hot enough
to cook beans and boil eggs in three
minutes have been found within a
short distance Of Portland. They are
on the Clackamas river, thirty miles
south of Estacada and seventy miles
from this city. - -
i These springs are fifty in number,
and one throws out stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
years. A French half breed named
Michel Arquette. a trapper, hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
of hot springs this side of the range,
made an investigation and found them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest In the world-22O degrees.
Beans have been cooked in the larger
spring with the same dispatch as on
stove. Eggs encased in a mesh of
any kind have been cooked in three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
in the Clackamas river and without
being taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and in a very
brief time cooked to turn. ,..
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts, but not of sufficient strength to
make the taste Objectionable.
Many storiesfare told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties Of these springs, and they have
been known to cross the mountains
from the reservation on the other side
to battle in the water of the big hole"
as they call it.

YEARS OF SILENCE
ENDED BY CHANCE
Under Vow Not to Speak to Each

ST. Joseph, Mo.-Robert and Joseph
Miller, brothers, spoke to each other

been partners in the produce farm
which they own. They are we'll to do.
Fifteen years ago, when their stock
in trade consisted Of rundown little
truck garden, they had a falling out
over who did the most work, and Jo-
seph vowed that he would never speak
to his brother again until Robert spoke
first. Pride prevented each from be-
ing the first to break over.
When they had anything to say to
each other they did it through the me-
dunn of third person.
ASK Joe if he is going to town to-
day or whether I shall co." Robert
would say to hired hand, even
though Joseph were within a few feet
Of him.
'Tell Bob 1 am going because there
is some private business want to see

the same medium. r.

through the long winter evenings the
two played cards together, but each
sat stolidly smoking a pipe, and nei-
Their spoke to the other. With other
people about they would talk freely

asked. Afterward he said that he did
not realize that he was breaking his

CHARLES +. NILES.
in midair without mishap Moreover
he has repeated these surprising feats
no less than four times over Hemp
stead plains. His only serious accident
took place one afternoon when his mo-
tor stopped before he had risen seven
ty feet off the ground. The result was
fractured nose and q partially wreck
ed machine. But his Willingness to
'take chance" was not injured.
Lincoln Beachy has looped the loop
in midair, but flying wing over wing
had never been accomplished success
fully until Niles did it last month. 1t
is the most spectacular flying stunt
that has ever been seen either in this
country or abroad. .
Less than two years ago this young
aviator-he is only TWENTY-FIVE years
Old-was in the automobile business
with his brother in Rochester, N. Y,
his native town. 1t was not a very
exciting life. He was not in the rae
ing game, but simply selling cars, and
he looked around for something more
interesting. Then an advertisement
caught his eye-an advertisement for a
school of aviation announcing that tnx
art of flying was taught in ten lessons.
Instantly Niles made up his mind to
be an aviator. Within week he pre-
sented himself at the school and de-
clared his intention of becoming pu-
pill. ..
'Then," said Niles, ''the instructor at
the school explained that>it often re-
quired more than ten lessons at $40
each to learn how to fly and that the
advertisement was not to be taken too
literally, but l handed him $500, told
him I'd take ten lessons and that if
could not fly at the end of that time I'd
bring suit against him for fraudulent
advertising. 49,
'But didn't have to bring a suit of
any kind against the school," he added.
"At the end of the seventh lesson
was making circles in the air. And be-
fore finished the course I was able
to do more stunts and make better
landings than my instructor In fact,
was offered position as profess
sional aviator before my tenth lesson"
Niles few months with the com.
pany were replete with adventures.
One day be decided to go after the en-
durance record. He was up in the air
four hours and thirty-fve minutes.
when the crank shaft broke. Fortu-
nately he was nearly 10000 feet above
the city so he was able to glide down
to safety. His special work at the fac
tory was to try out new planes and
engines certainly as hazardous an &C.
cupation as the most adventurous per-
son could wish for. But no risks seem
ed too great for him.
If machine looks good to me on
the ground I'm willing to take chance
with it in the air" said Niles as he
prepared for his second fight after
looping the loop. I'm afraid of only
