wife OF Joseph Caillaux, the French
minister of finance and former pre-
mter He died later.
Nine. Caillaux went to the office Of
Figaro to carry out an act OF ven
geance against M. Calmette, who had
been waging a campaign characterized
by great bitterness against the minis
ter of finance.
At the moment of the attack NJ. Cal

fee in the company Of Paul Bourget,
the author. He excused himself to re-
ceive Nine. Caillaux, who fired almost

said Since there is no justice in this
country, ! take upon myself an act OF

from the ministry of finance, but that
Premier Doumergue withheld his deci-
sion. Nine. Caillaux is the minister's
third wife.
Some of Editors Charges.
The personal campaign of Gastoi
Calmette against Joseph Caillaux be-
gan on January u, and since then the
attacks against the finance minister
have been a daily feature of the paper.
Among the various charges made M.
Calmette asserted that M. Caillaux Of
fered to pay $1,20O,0OO to NJ. Schneider.
the legal representative of Marcel
Prieu, who had entered claim against
the government, on condition that so
per cent of that amount should be
turned over to the radical party's cam
paign fund for the coming elections.
M. Caillaux also was charged with
authorizing the quotation on the
bourse OF questionable foreign loans,
whereby vast sums were lost by
French investors.
NJ. Caillaux contented himself with
issuing categorical denials.
But on March Is the Figaro printed
facsimile of letter from M. Call
laux to an intimate friend, dated "The
Senate, July IS, 1901" at the time Call
laux was minister of finance in the
Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet, in which
he said he had been successful in
crushing the income tax, although
seemingly be was defending the tax.
Much mystery is attached to the letter.
Nine. Caillaux affirms that the letter
was addressed to her and that she
learned that NJ. Calmette intended to
publish several other letters of an
even more intimate character.

GO THROUGH HARDEST ROCK
No Substance on-Earth Can Resist the
Action Of Prepared Stees
Wires.

Stone is still sawn by hand, even
in great cities where the latest appli-
ances of the mechanical art are to be
found. Yet the mechanical saving OF
rock Is at least sixteen centuries old.
and in recent years has reached a
stage of perfection.
The idea of using metal cord and
q mixture of sand and water for saw
ing stone was patented by Eugene
Chevallier in France in 1854. His ap-
paratus, with scarcely any change.
was used last year in cutting trench
through the Pont Neuf in Paris.
The principle upon which the me-
chanical stone-saw works Is described
by Victor Raynourd in La Science ct
Ia Vie as follows:
An endless rope composed OF three
steel wires twisted together Is set in
movement and draws with 1t grind
ing granular substance, pressing this
hard upon the stone that is to be
sawn. The mordant substance is grit
mixed with water. The stream OF wa
ter renders the movement easy ana
prevents the heating Of the cable. The
ends of the cable are joined by splic-
ing.
The hardest rocks. such as porphyry.
are now sawn more easily than the
softer, such as marble, but not so rap
idly. Marble is sawn at the rate OF
nearly nine inches an hour, granite at
from six to seven inches an hour.

THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLD
Excavations Have Revealed Ancient
Structure on Site of Prehis-
toric 7iryns.

Excavations recently carried out by
the German Archaeological institute
on the site Of prehistoric Tiryns have
revealed the existence Of a still moro
ancient palace lying beneath the re-
mains of the palace laid bare by Schlie-
mann and Dropfeld some thirty years
ago.
The whole elevation on which the
fortress palace stands was thickly in
habited at least as far back as 1000
b. c. Among the early Inhabitants
now discovered is a large circular
building about fourteen meters in di-
ameter, which may be recognized as
the most ancient palace of the dynasty
of Tiryns. This structure, which was
built before 1900 b. G., differs COM
pleteIy in design from the later build
ing. The places of sepulcher OF the
local princes were long sought in vain.
but a bee hive tomb in excellent pres
ervation has been discovered and e1-
cavated More than two thousand
years ago it vas robbed OF its treas
ures, and in the time Of the Roman
erperors it .rwas converted into an oil
mill.
Other tou1bs have been found which
it is hoped may prove intact. They
will be excavated.
