FIRST LIBERTY
FIGURES MADE
PUBLIC SMALL
Treasury Department An
ticipates a Determined
Drive to Attain Goal.

The first Official figures on the sales
OF the Second Liberty Loan of 1877
were issued last night at the Treas
bury Department. They show total
sales of bonds, to the close Of business
yesterday, October 10, as $35, 4Gs. 900.
This figure is based on reports re-
ceived from the twelve Federal Re-
serve banks.
Banks Are Dilatory.
It was announced at the Treasury
that the figures mentioned does not
include all subscriptions made to date
because many banks and trust COM
panies had not reported to the Federal
Reserve banks. Moreover, many COM
mittees have Informally reported SUBJ
scriptions, but have not made oficial
reports.
These things being true, the Treas
ury Department asserted last night,
the hardest kind of work will be ne
cessary to reach the goal of IS, ,000, 900, :
600 set by Secretary McAdoo.
Daily Average slumpa
There are twenty-four business
days during the campaign period, /"
said a statement from the Treasury
tonight, "and in order to obtain SUBJ
scriptions Of 5000. 900 900, the average
daily subscriptions must amount to
over SOS. 100000 per day, whereas up
to date the average has been only
about $50. 100000"
New York's Federal Reserve dis
trict takes the lead by a wide mar
gin. as in the first liberty loan.
New York has thus far subscribed
more than two-thiris of the total,
and more than all the other districts
combined. The district figures fol-

SCATTERED THE CROWD.
Fulton Gave His Auditors a Scare In
His Torpedo Lecture.

Ills Torpedo Lecture.
Before lie turned his attention to
navigation by steam, Robert Fulton
invented marine torpedo which he
endeavored to dispose of to the
United States government. Sue
ceeding in interesting James Madi-
son, then secretary of state, in the
matter, be obtained small appro-
priation from the government for
the purpose Of conducting some
public experiments. In the sum-
mer Of 1906 he invited the high Dig
nitaries and number of prominent
citizens of New York to Governors
island to see the torpedoes and ma
chinery with which his experiments
were to be made.
/ While he was lecturing on his
blank torpedoes, which were large,
empty copper cylinders, his numer-
Gus auditors crowded around him.
After awhile he turned to q copper
case Of the same description which
was placed under the gateway of old
Castle William, and to which was
attached clockwork lock.
Drawing out peg Fulton set the
clock in motion, and then he said in
solemn tones to his attentive audi
ence: "Gentlemen, this is a charg-
ed torpedo, with which, precisely in
its present state, / mean to blow up
vessel. 1t contains 170 pounds of
gunpowder, and if | were to suffer
the clockwork to run fifteen minutes
have no doubt that it would blow
this fertilization to atoms"
The circle of humanity which had
closed around the inventor began to
spread out and grow thinner, and
before five of the fifteen minutes
had passed there were but two OF
three persons remaining under the
gateway. Some, indeed, lost no
time in getting at the greatest pos
sible distance from the torpedo, and
they did not again appear on the
ground until they were assured that
the engine Of destruction was safe
ly lodged in the magazine whence 1t
had been taken. The local historian
of that period remarks: Y
'sThe conduct Of Mr.. Fulton's au-
ditors was not very extraordinary
or unnatural, but his own compo-
sure indicated the confidence with
which he handled these terrible in
struments of destruction and the
reliance he had on the accuracy OF
the performance Of his machinery.
The apprehension Of his friends sur
prised and amused him, and he took
occasion to remark how true it was
that fear frequently arose from ig-
norance."

WRITING THAT FADES.
Result of the Action Of Light and Air
Upon the Ink.

Result OF the Action OF Light and Ar
Upon the Ink.
Attention was first called to the
bleaching effect Of air and light on
writing ink as used In modern times
by the fact that signatures on certain
certificates had become illegible
through the fading Of the ink, says
writer in the Journal Of the Society Of
Chemical Industry.
AS 1t was impracticable to test sam
pie of ink by exposure Of writing for
a period Of years, it was considered
that a limited application of hydrogen
peroxide would be the nearest chemical
equivalent to the bleaching effect of
the atmosphere. Writing done by diff
ferent inks was exposed to light, the
paper being occasionally moistened
with per cent solution of hydrogen
peroxide, the result being that the
handwriting gradually became invisi-
BILE, in some cases more quickly than in
others The violet ink used for type
writer's was less readily acted on, but
was quickly bleached by sulphurous
acid.
If an ink could be produced posses
sing the desirable properties Of perfec
fuidity and, being nondepositing and
at the same time incapable of being Gle
colorized by oxidizing or reducing
agents, there would be good reason to
believe that the writing done by such
an ink would be practically permanent

Dinainutive Aztecs.

The feminine direct descendants
Of the famous Aztecs are tiny crea-
lures, exquisitely formed and re-
fined in feature. They carry the
head with the upbearing grace OF
the full blooded Indian; their skins
are not red, but clear, smooth
copper color that shines like gold
in the sun; their hair is coarse and
black as ebony, and they are dec,
grated with bright feathers and
gay ornaments. These women make
the most wonderful pottery that
comes to us from Mexico, for they
have kept the old Aztec forms ana
decorations in their art, and they
also weave wonderful baskets and
do exquisite embroidery.

amusingaconversation while waiting
at the stock yards office for his
check.l There were three men. two
evidently stock buyers and tne
other a farmer, who had just re-
ceived their statements and checks.
One buyer remarked, in gancing
over his statement. "WeH the
bulls saved7me alright. Ii it hadn =
been for them, I'd been lost. The
other buyer spokefup; "Those COWS
were what saved me. Yep they
saved me-" The buy RS then turned
an inquiring look at the farmer who
had been trying to figure out how
he could make a profit by selling
steers at $l3 hundred after feed
So corn all summer. The farmer
returned the glance and then drolled
out: .'Oh I saved myself alright,
