SUBMARINES MAY
 RAID THE ATLANTIC

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Rear- Admiral Peary predicts a submar- inc raid along the Atlantic coast in a comparatively short time. He declares the only thing which could minimize the gravity of such a raid, or prevent it, was immediate devel- opment of a fleet of powerful armed seaplanes.

QUAINT OLD INDIAN COINS
So AduIterated That They Were Not
Even Accepted in England as
Value in Metal.

In 1908 the Independent state of Hy-
derabad, India, obtained modern mint
and called In the coins that had been
current up till that time. The old mint
Of Hyderabad was little more than a
coppersmith's shop in which scrap cop
per of all sorts was melted up, ham,
mered into plates, cut up into very
rough approximations of one tola in
weight, and stamped between dies, one
of which was in the anvil and the 9TH
er in toll held in tongs. A blow fron
a sledge hammer made the impression.
There was no regularity in shape,
weight or stamping, nor was the metal
Uniform in quality.
The mint could not furnish supplies
fast enough, and licenses were issued
to coppersmiths to assist in production.
Naturally, the Scientific American
states, nonlicensed persons began to
manufacture, and adulteration with
lead was so fragrant that when several
tons Of these coins were sent to Eng
land as old metal they were returned
on account Of their impurity and were
finally worked up into brass for local
consumption. A "dub," if held in the
flame Of spirit lamp, would before it
reached red heat begin to discharge
very fine jets resembling mercury; the
lead, having reached it's fusing point,
burst from the copper with force in
dicating very high internal pressure.

Guard Your Breath.

"a mans BREATH" says Popular Sci
ence Monthly, lis often betrayer Of
secrets. He may have been out late,
sitting up with q sick friend, but
when he reaches home his loving wife
at once opens up her battery Of re-
proaches.
''Now comes the news that two In
ventors In Osceola, Ark, have joint
ly invented q breath-guard Of a new
pattern. It is said to be efficient, but
not in the manner you were thinking
Of. It is intended to protect dentists,
BARRIERS and physicians from inhal-
ing the germ-laden breath of their pa
tients or patrons. 1t consists of a
small curved shield of glass placed
80 as to cover the nostrils and held in
position by a spring clip gripping the
partition wall Of the nose on the in
side. Many diseases are directly COM
municated through the inhalation Of
tainted air, and a device of this kind
should be boon to professional peo-
pie who are compelled, by the nature
Of their duties, to be in close proxim-
ity to those whom they serve"

LYING the NuntiaI Knot.

In some parts of the world the nup-
tial knot is literally as well as figura-
lively tied. This is in India, at the
marriage of a Brahmin. No sooner
has the father, in words as plain as
can be, given the bride away than the
bridegroom places the "tali," or insige
mia of marriage, consisting Of a piece
Of ribbon with a gold bead suspended
upon it, around her neck and ties the
knot. Before the knot is tied the
brides father may refuse consent I'M
less better terms are offered hut I'm
mediately the knot is tied the mar
riage is indissoluble, for the Brahmins
do not recognize divorce. The Par
sees bind the hands of the bridegroom
with a sevenfold cord, seven being q
sacred number. The ancient Cartha-
ginians tied the thumbs of the betroth-
ed with leather lace. With the Lat
ms, on the contrary, part Of the cere-
mony was for the bridegroom to loosen
(solvere) the brides girdle (nodus her.
culeus), not to tie it.

zIRCoNIUM IN THE ARTS
Rare Metal Has Properties That Make
1t of the Highest Value
Commercially.

The layman would hardly know that
baddeleyite and jacupirangite are diff.
ferent names of the same thing-in
fact he would probably not recognize
either of these impressive words and
would find their pronunciation difficult,
but they are the correct mineral names
for the ore of chromium, which is
found in Brazil and is said to occur
there in enormous quantities.
The mineral zircon, silicate Of cir
conium, is probably most familiar as
a gem stone, and when so used is
known as hyacinth, jacinth, jargon, or
Matara diamond.
ZircOnium minerals are used chiefly as
refractory material, which melts only
at an extremely high temperature and
is very resistant to the action Of fiuxes
and slags. Chromium fire brick prom
Uses to be extensively used. The fused
oxide of chromium expands so little on
being heated that crucibles, muffies,
combustion tubes, and similar articles
made Of it are not broken by sudden
changes Of temperature.
Several alloys of chromium have I'M
usual properties. A chromium steel Is
said to be particularly suited for maxi
ing armor plates, armor-piercing pro-
jectiles, and bullet-proof metal; new
patented alloy Of chromium with nick
ell, called cooperite, is extremely hard
and is particularly well adapted for
making cutting tools.

months before he realized the luscious
physiognomy and many virtues of Miss

But, with August Rinnick, to think

which he finally realized, he summoned
Miss Perch into his Office.

THEN 1T CAME HOME TO HER
Moment When Henrietta Realized That
There Were Dishonest People
in the World.

Henrietta Weird looked at the
change the conductor had just given
her-a quarter and five nickels.
Goodness" she thought excitedly,
"he's given me a nickel overt I'm
riding for nothing!"
And she quickly closed her hand
over the change, and then she remem=
bered that the conductor had rung up
her fare and that probably the nickel
would have to come out of his own
pocket.
"Oh, dear!" she thought remorse-
fully. perhaps the poor man has a.
large family and perhaps a nickel a
day is all he can afford to feed them
with. suppose 1 really ought to re-

position has no moral right to have a

should suddenly find out he gave me
too much and demand it back again?
l think I'll get right out-I'm only ten
blocks from home, anyway"
And at the next stop she hurriedly
left the car, still clutching the quarter
and five nickels in her hand.
I'D better look again-perhaps
there are only four nickels after all,".
she thought. And she opened her
hand and looked. No, there were five,
but, as she looked, the quarter slipped
through her fingers and fell on the,
pavement-with a hollow, leaden
sound.
"Ohl'' she gritted through her teeth.

Mining Items from Alto.

The engineers for the South

they will also sample the Tren-

is Immediately available, they
will move the mill to some ham

crease the capacity to 1000
tons a day.
Mr.. Reds shipment from the
mine he has just sold is report
ed to have netted $85 ton
mostly in silver. There was no
penalty for zinc. The royalty
asked is 159e. The engineer for
the new owners says he has an
other Cuanajuato, and the work
will go on briskly.
Prospector James has taken
up the work of precipitating cop
per from the water of the old
