EARLY INTERNAL MACHINE.

Apowder plot, which sent the lin
tied constabulsy Of the country
searching far and vide for the per-
petrstor, but without success, was
disclosed in the late summer Of 1888
BY Governor Wilcox Of Rhode Island.
BE had incurred the enmity of some
ons who sent him an internal ma
chine that would have blown the eI-
scutive mansion ito fragments if it
had not been discovered.
This was . trunk, containing 70
pounds Of powder, into which a pair
Of pistols we're so fastened that when
the lid was raised they would be dis
charged and the contents Of the
trunk exploded. Suspicion was eI-
cited, however, and the trunk eau
tiously opened; the strings were cut
and the plot was revealed.
This item Of news was copied into
the newspapers generally, with this
sddendum: "The Infamous wretch
who contrived this hellish plot is un.
Known" and there the matter rested.

CALLS FOR HIGHEST SKILL
Mon Who Do The Work Of Engraving
on Bank Notes Must BE Re-,
epsclaiistA

Bank note engraving is one Of the
highest specialized branches of the
art, and there are no more skilled
experts than those employed at
Washington. They are constantly
designing stock" for future bills
that may be ordered by the govern
ment. They keep their supply in
such condition that if a new bill
were ordered the design could be
chosen from the stock on hand.
Some of the engravers specialize
in vignette work, which consists Of
the drawings Of figures on the bills,
such as ''The Landing of Colum-
bus" etc. Particular care is taken
in this because the slightest change
in . line on forged bill makes the
counterfeit apparent.
The making Of the small square
letters is one Of the most difficult
branches, and for this work Z man
must have particular aptitude. The
engraving Of bills is done piecemeal,
with all the portraits, figures, cor
ners, ETC., assembled after all is COM
plsted.
The engravers are constantly plan
ming on beating the counterfeiter.

ican history was . man in the employ

AGREED!

There is a great deal of TOM
my-rot in this eternal bowling
about the high cost of living.
The laboring man is better off
today under the high prices he
is forced to pay for everything
he buys than he ever was be-
fore at any time in the history
of the country-Or the world
for that matter. Has it never
occurred to those who complain
that the only way to reduce the
high cost of living is to reduce
the cost of consumption? The
trouble is that we are all strik-
ingly selfish. We would like to
see the price reduced on the
other fellows product, while we
insist that our own should be
held sacred. In other words if
we are a producer we want
high prices, and if we are a con-
sumer only we want low prices.
In our opinion it would be a
wise idea to quit complaining
about high prices and 60 to
work to secure our share of the
prosperity that is prevalent.
The low prices will come soon
enough if the traditions of his
tory are not false; and when
they do come a good many of
us will be unprepared-Fair-

between the owner of the light
plant and the city council or the

chased the new franchise, in all
probability Marion will be with

ly there can and will be an
agreement reached whereby the
present light system will be con-
tinued until the owners of the

AlRPLANES IN MAIL SERVICE
idea That They Might Be Employed
at Both Ends Of Voyage Of
Ocean Liner.

One Of the contemplated uses Of
the airplane in peace time Is that
Of overtaking steamers at sea for the
purpose Of placing delayed mail
aboard. Obviously, saw the Scientific
American, the speed Of the average
airplane makes it possible to oyertake
. steamer several hours after il has
left the port, thereby extending the
mail service time that many hours.
An experiment is being made by
Zimmerman, 9 skilled pilot, who will
follow a steamer two or three hours
after she sailed for England, and,
overtaking hsf, will drop a mail
pouch with . wooden float attach
ment into the - Just ahead Of her
bow. This experiment will be closely
followed by the postotfice authorities
and the stesmship men in order to
determine the pracicability Of the
scheme.
1t has also bsen suggested that
steamers might oarry small airplanes
which, when the steamer neared port,
might fly with bags Of mail II air
planes were employed to overtake the
steamer, and ooe or more airplanes
employed to maks port some hours
before the steamer, perhaps eight
hours or moro might be saved In

Salus' Publica Suprenla Lex" (the public welfare is the su- preme law), the ancient motto of the Romans, is being applied by the ItaI- ian government at this critical mo- ment of the national life of Italy.
 '"The government closed one eye indeed, in some cases, both, for so long that the people took the law in their own hands, said leading Ital- ia1 statesman. "They were aiming at giving a harsh but deserved lesson to' profiteers. It was right that the people should punish those who made millions through the suffering of the entire population, which for over four years strained every nerve in the face of the greatest struggle of It's history. With pitiless energy how ever, as pitiless as it's leniency hcre- tofore, the government now intends to repress any attempt to transform a just protest into something more serious.
 Florence has been occupied by rail-
 
 the troops, it has been shown the mobs and robbers, were not taken there merely for show The same thing has happened at other most re- bellious centers, especially at Ancona and Brecia, where many persons were wounded.

R-34 SUCCEEDS IN

Mineola, N. Y.-Great Britain's su. perdirigible, R-34, the first lighter. than-air machine to cross the Atlan- tic ocean, anchored here at Roosevelt flying field, after an aerial voyage of 10S hours and 12 minutes, which covered $500 miles.
 Passing through dense banks of cloud with the sun and sea visible only at rare intervals, the R-34 was forced to cruise 3.690 miles to reacn Trinity Bay, N F., from East For tune, Scotland, and 1,944 miles from there to Mineola.
 When the super-Zeppelin arrived here she had left only enough petrol to keep her moving 90 minutes long. er Her crew almost sleepless for four and half days, were weary al- most to the point of exhaustion, but happy at the successful completion of their epoch-making trip.
