General Scott admitted this point
was well taken. as the act did not
go into effect until after the call was
made. He reiterated his opinion
that completion OF the new organiza-

General Scott admitted that the po-

likely to cause the disintegration oil

however. in response to further point
ed questions from the committee that
they were here to protect lives and
property.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. En-

after It's adoption why the Guard Is
kept on the border.
The opposition Of the House Com

Guard on the border any longer was
obvious from the questions they pul

General Scott suggested many mod

THE WEAR OF COINS.
Chemical Action Has More TO Do With
Il Than Has Abrasion.

Chemical Action Has More TO Do With
II Than Has Abrasion.
In the latest report of the British
mint Sir Thomas K. Rose, well
known metallurgical expert, calls at
tention to the effect Of grease derived
from the sweat Of the fingers or from
other sources In accelerating the wear
Of coins, which Is usually attributed
entirely to abrasion.
Sir Thomas says that the fatty acids
of the grease have a corrosive action
upon the metal Copper In particular,
even If present only In small quantity
as an alloy for gold or silver,vis con-
verted into an oleate, stearate or other
salt.
Hagen Smit OF the Utrecht mint
found by analysis that the dirt ON a
bronze coin contained 86 per cent Of
copper In the form Of powdered COM
pounds Of the fatty acids. When the
coin is handled the dirt is In part de-
tached, and the coin undergoes a loss
Of weight.
Gold or silver is not readily convert
ed into salts, but removing the copper
leaves the less easily attacked metals
In spongy form that offers little ne
ststance to abrasion.
In new coins the rapid loss Of weight
that occurs Is doubtless caused at first
by abrasion, but when the rough edges
have been removed chemical action
may prove to be Of the first impOr-
lance In the succeeding deterioration.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

u Neglected In Fall Can Still Be I'm
dertaIcen In Winter.
The pruning Of fruit trees If neglect
ed In the fall can still be undertaken
In winter up to the time when the sap
begins to flow and the trees show
signs Of renewed vitality. 1t is best,
Of course, to prune In the fall as soon
as the sap has ceased to rise. This
gives a dormant tree a much better
chance to heal over the pruning wound.
The nearer spring the pruning is done
the greater the likelihood that the
wouAd may bleed Where the sap
bleeds from the wound it may attract
insects that carry tree diseases, which
may work back into the tree. This Is
one reason why it is well to cover the
cut with paint where large branch is
cut of. It also is reason for disin-
fecting cuts when trees have been sub
sect to disease.
The main objects sought in pruning
fruit trees are to cut out dead, useless
or diseased wood and to keep the tree
