DIRTY FLOOR WAS GOLD MINE
Man Paid $4,000 for Privilege Of Clean
Ing It and Made Profit Of 5000
on the Deal.

Would you pay $4,000 for the priv.
ilege Of cleaning dirty floor? There's
a man in New York who made profit
of $1,000 by doing that very thing.
Some months ago manufacturing
jeweler on Pearl street decided that
twenty-five years was long enough for
any sane man to work, and at once
set about the business Of retiring.
Among his assets was listed the priv
ilege Of sweeping the floor Of his fac
tory, and he called for bidders.
One offered $1,000, which was re-
fused with open amusement; another
bid $500 and was turned down, and
then third, after carefully appraising
the floor, ceiling and walls, concluded
to take long chance, and bid $4,000.
First the bidder had the floor cleaned
carefully. Then carpenter was called
in. The floor boards were taken up,
and after the sweepings that had piled
up under them had been carefully col
lected new boards were put down. The
old boards were planed of, and the
shavings, together with the sweepings
and the dust from the ceiling and
walls, were burned.
Here stepped in the modern alchem-
ist. The ashes were turned over to
him, and through a secret process of
his own he recovered enough gold Sill
yer and platinum to net the successful
bidder cash profit Of 5000.

Tho Camera as Detective.

The camera has been frequently In.
strumental in the detection Of crim-
inals. In case Of forgery photography
is invaluable. for there is no forger In
the world clever enough to baffie Its
detective skill. An interesting proof
Of this was provided a few years ago
in the case Of a forged will. An en-.
larged photograph revealed the PEN
ciled lines over which the signatures
Of the testator and witnesses had been
written. although no trace of them
was visible through the microscope
This is one Of the peculiarities Of the
camera, that 1t brings to light marks
which are invisible through a micro
scope. just as 1t has been known to re-
veal the signs Of measles and smallpox
several days before they become visible
to the naked eye.

WOMEN ARE WATER CARRIERS
Story Of Jacob and Rachel Is Declared
to Be Transcript Of the
Arab Life Of Today.

In the East where water is scarce,
village generally grows up near
well or fountain. Abraham's servant
asked for water to drink. Rebekah
made haste and let down her pitcher
from her shoulder and said, "drink.
and l will give tiny camel drink also"
A similar request would be made now
and similar answer would be given
though modern young lady of the
country might for your camels or
horses put water into the trough-an
article always found near wells, and
frequently made of stone.
Canon Tristram once asked for a
drink from an Arab girl who had
down for his use, and would not ac-
cept any gratuity. Tears filed her
eyes, and she said that she gave the
water freely for the love of God and
for the sake of her mother, who had
died lately.
Rebekah carried her "balass," or
water jar, on her shoulde-. A modern
Syrian woman does this, but an Egyp-
ton carries 1t on her head.
The boys and girls of Bedouin life
still meet at wells. The story of
Jacob and Rachel Is, even in minute
details, transcript of the Arab life of
today. Evening Is called now, as it
was 1900 years ago, "the time that
women go out to draw water"
A person going to an Eastern well
brings leather bucket and rope
with which to lower 1t. This is one of
the utensils necessary for an Eastern
journey.

crowd, and to draw the eyes of the
world upon her. She does not receive
satisfaction from the applauses which
she gives herself, but from the admi-
ration which she raises in others. She

SEEK CURE OF ELEcTRoLYsIs
Government Experts Aid In Installing
System to Prevent Damage to
Metal Structures.

The damage done annually to under
ground pipes, cables and other metal
structures in this country by electroly-
sis amounts to many millions Of dol
lars. There are very few water. gas
or lead cable systems that are not
more or less subject at some points to
electrolytlc damage from stray cur
rents. Moreover, the loss does not
consist merely in the shortening of
the life Of such structures electroly-
tic damage is one of the causes OF the
ution systems. The failure of such
systems on account of electrolytic ac-
ton may also involve various dangers
to the life and health of human beings.
According to the bureau of standards
more than 25 separate and distinct
methods Of dealing with the electrOly-
sis problem have been proposed and
experimental with from time to time.
Some Of these methods are useless, or
even harmful. The bureau ,Of stand
ards has been studying the subject of
electrolysis mitigation for the last six
years, and has aided in installing COM
pleteN mitigative systems in several
cities. The bureau makes somewhat
detailed tests in each of these places
about once a, year to make sure that
the protective systems are being prop
erly maintained. An extended series
Of experiments has recently been un1
dertaken in the city Of Springfield.
Mass, with the so-called three wire
system Of electric railway operation;

promise for the mitigation Of electroly-
sis troubles under certain conditions

IT'S THE SAME OLD WORLD
Letters Of Deserted wife to Husband.
Written 1000 Years Ago, Unearthsd
In Ancient Ruins.

A wife's letter 1000 years old was
unearthed recently in the ruins Of the
Serapoum, the temple Of Memphis, the
great city of ancient Egypt. The letter
was written by Isias to her husband,
Hephaestion, who had deserted her.
There were two letters, in fact, the
first bearing a date equivalent to July
"a. 100 B. G. In them the wife re-
proaches her husband for neglect OF
his family and, what is particularly
interesting at the present time, she
complains Of the high cost of living.
Here are some extracts from the
first letter: "Isias to Hephaestion, her
husband. Greetings-f you are we'll
and other things are turning out with
you according to your wishes, it would
be as perpetually pray the gods. I
myself am in good health, and the child
and all in the house make mention of
you continually. When received
your letter from Horus, in which you
explained that you were in retreat in
the Serapoun at Memphis, imme-
diately gave thanks to the gods that
you were well. But that you do not
return distresses me. For having pi-
lOted myself and your child through
such n crisis and having come to the
last extremity because Of the high cost
Of corn, and thinking that your return
would bring me relief, you have never
even thought of returning or spared a
look for my helpless state"

Sad Memories.

The minister of rural parish being
once sent for to a shepherds house to
"christen a wean," big fat hen was
killed for the christening tea. Like
most shepherds children, those in the
house in question were allowed to run
about half wild, and glowered with
holy fear from behind doors and chests
at the parson, who was observed to
be eating most Of the hen. The young
sters no doubt made many sage reflec-
tions on his voracious appetite, but
took care to keep out of his reach. A
month or two after, when the minis
ter was visiting the parish, he came
back to the shepherds cot, and as he
seated himself in an armchair by the
fire number Of chickens marched In,
having the run Of the house as usual.
The children seemed terrified, but at
length rushed in between the poultry
and the minister, and cried: "Gae
wa, gae wal"
Then they "whusht" the chickens out
