Makinq Coin Blanks.

To provide ingots for making one cent
and five cent pieces, which are being
coined in larger quantities every year,
a new casting machine that turns out
ingots weighing more than five times
as much as those heretofore used has
been placed in service in the United
States mint at Philadelphia. In con-
nection with this machine larger rolls
for forming the plates from which the
coin "blanks'' are cut are also being
used, the whole purpose Of the i'm
proved equipment being to turn out
more coins in a day. How important
this is is shown in the fact that each
year there is now a demand for ap-
proximately 1OO,OO0,OO0 cent pieces and
100000 five cent pieces, or nickels.

BUYING SHEEP IN KANSAS.
Farmers See Food For Million In Fields
of FIattened Grain.

Topeka.-Floods can't keep Kansas
down. Most states would have raised
the white flag over the heavy grain loss
from rain and floods, but Kansas has
the old ensign flying over the fort.
Grain that lies on the ground, that
the hail and the winds and rain have
knocked fiat, is to be converted into
mutton. From every county farmers
are sending orders for sheep, and with
in thirty days there will be more than
million sheep feeding throughout the
state.
Along every valley in the state I'M
precedented rains sent the water out
across the fields when the grain should
have been ripening. More than a mil
lion and a half acres of wheat and
oats were ruined. With sheep getting
fat on this grain, the elimination of
harvesting, thrashing and marketing,
the farmers are looking upon life a
little more cheerfully these days.

and courage of James Lavelle, mo-

SOLVES DISEASE MYSTERY.
British Officer Finds Cause of 1000 Year
Scourqe.


Scourge.
LOndon.-Lieutenant Colonel Leiper
of the London School of Tropical Med
icine has just returned from Egypt,
where he had been investigating bill
harZioSis, and has communicated an i'm
portant discovery respecting this dis
ease to the Royal Society of Medicine.
The disease, which has been a
scourge to the Nile delta for thousands
of years, has been discovered to have
been the cause of death in mummies
dating back to 1000 B. c..
In his report Colonel Leiper cited a
village where 90 per cent of the chill
dren are infected. 1t has long been
known that the disease was transmit
ted by water, but the life and history
of the parasite have remained unes-
tablished.
1t has been discovered that the dis
ease is started in a worm which lives
in the human body. The eggs of this
worm pass from the body into canals
and pools, where they enter molluss
and there undergo certain evolutions.
They emerge from the molluss in a
form enabling them to enter the hs-
man body through the skin. In this
way the disease is commonly contract
ed while bathing and washing.
Colonel Leiper contends that the dis
ease can be exterminated by filling the
pools during the dry season.

Wireless Telephony.

When entirely perfected it is now
seen that wireless telephony will be
more perfected than the wire system,
as the voice is carried much more
clearly, and if desired the sound can
be enlarged SO that a whisper on the
part of the sender will be received as
shout With wireless telephony it
will be impossible for person success
fully to disguise his voice, as every
tone, syllable and shade of emphasis is
carried with remarkable accuracy.
