owner Properly Dealt with.

About this time little more than a
hundred years ago in the history Of
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint of un-
scrupulous work, which brought great
loss to owners on account Of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin Of cargoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson of Pittsburgh.
whose decision was rendered Novem-
Der z, 1907. A boat owned by Mr..
Winchester struck on a rock few
miles below Pittsburgh. was stove, and
sunk. The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness. The master
produced rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact. and claimed
that had 1t not been for this the ac-
cident would not have happened. The
master was discharged by the justice.
and Winchester had to lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment OF
inspectors, but not until 1912.

GERMANY DENIES.

New York, Sept. 21.-Count van Bernstorff, the German ambassador issued today an official denial to all reports that peace negotiations were on foot at Washington. He declined to discuss the dispatches telling oi the destruction of the Rheims cathed- ral by German guns. He said he did not care to comment on the war news of the day.
 The German ambassadors state- ment was reiteration of the follow ing message which he said he receiv- ed from the German government by wireless via Sayville, l.. l.:
 "The news evidently originating from Paris and Antwerp that General Goltz issued a proclamation that Ger many intended to evacuate Brussels and had offered peace to Belgium sep arately is an invention.
 "Likewise there is no truth in the rumor that peace negotiations are go- ing nat Washington. All these in- ventions have been denied by the North German Gazette, the official organ of the German government"

cost of transmitting metals in
creases in proportion to bulk and
weight. the purer the form in
which silver travels the cheaper is
the expense of carriage. For this
ease silver is always smelted at
the mine itself, provided suficien
labor and fuel be available. Elec-
tricity has been brought into use
for refining during recent years,
and by its means the quality of the
silver refined has been raised to a
remarkable degree.
1t is not uncommon for electro
l~ytically refined bars TO run 1897
or more parts fine in the $1,000.
Silver after refining is melted, as
a rule. into the form of what are
styled bars, about 100 troy
ounces in weight, massive bricks
measuring IL inches long by 5 wide
by 43 deep. London is the worlds
silver center where the greater
output of the globe Is brought to
market. Here governments, with
the exception or those in the
Americas, obtain supplies they need
for coinage. China and India have
the most %capacious appetites of all.
The greater part of the silver i'm
ported into India is utilized by the
arts, namely for manufacturing
jewelry and utensils-not for coin
age. The average import for in
dustrial purposes at the present
time is about 81, 600 900 ounces

quantity is worked up into jeweIry
