Comparing acetyiene with electri-

desirable.
Is acetylene gaining or losing in
popularity and why. Five years ago
practically every automobile carried
acetylene light; today not any.
1t is because the electric system, al
though it adds SIS to the cost of the
car gives better satisfaction in every
department.

GoLD-CoIN SCALES A RELIC
Missouri Man Has Device That Was
in Daily Use in That State
Many Years Ago.

"A goad-coin scales Of the type so
useful to merchants in the middle of
the nineteenth century is one of the
relics kept by jeff Davis of Boonville.
Modern methods of exchange have
rendered the scales useless, but 1t is
in as good condition as it was when
his grandfather used it at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time B. B. Brereton set up
his little store at Cole Neck, just a
half mile north of what Is now Cliff
ton City, the pioneers were crossing
the plains in search of gold. Gold
sweating" was common. Particles of
gold ldust were removed from the coin
so that its value rather than its ap-
pearance suffered. The merchant had
to be constantly on the lookout for
underweight coins when dealing with
such a class of trade.
A pair OF scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose. A brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. A slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, $5,
Sic and $40 coins. Coins failing to fit
exdctIy in their respective slots were
rejected. (Mo.) Republican.

LOOK FOR ANOTHER P0MPEIl
Archeoiogists Expect to Uncover
Treasures of Art Hidden for Some
Twenty Centuries.

During the war archaeological exca-
vations were continued at the Italian
colony Of Syrenaica on the north AZ
rican coast, and now comes the news
that what has been found already
promises the uncovering Of another
ancient city as important as Pom
peii. Once upon a time the spot
was a Greek colony, with the civiliza-
ton Of Greece transplanted to the
soil of Africa. The work has been car
ried on during the war under the SUI
pervision of Prof. Lucio Mariani, di-
rector Of the archaeological service of
the ministry Of the colonies, and the
prediction Is now made that the new
ly discovered city will eventually
prove actually richer than Pompeii in
its evidence Of a past civilization.
Here have been found already statues
Of the Graces, Hermes, an Eros, an
Alexander the Great and most impress
sfve Of all, the Aphrodite Of Cyrene,
which Is said by certain connoisseurs
to be fair rival In beauty to the
Venus Of Milo and the Venus of chi
dus. The discoveries have extended
over a good many years. 1t may be
added, however, as an Illustration Of
the modified joys Of archaeology, and
the introduction Of new mystery into
the history Of art, that the Aphrodite
Of Cyrene lacks both head and arms.
The world may wonder what she
looked like as well as what she was
supposed to, be doing.

KNEW he WOULD BE THERE
Innkeeper Evidently Had implicit
Faith In the Punctuality Of His
Coming Guest.

An old Englishman, James Scott by
name, Travelled about on business un-
til he was nearly eighty years Of age.
He became celebrated for his punctu-

one occasion gentleman stopped at
an inn much frequented by Mr.. Scott
and saw fine fowl cooking.
& 'That looks very good" said the
hungry guest. "You may serve that
for my dinner"
'You cannot have that, SIR" replied
the landlord. THAT is being cooked
for Mr.. Scott, the traveller"
Il know Mr.. Scott very well" said
the gentleman. "Is he stopping hereT
"Oh, no, SIR" answered the landlord.
"But six months ago he ordered a
fowl to be ready for him at precisely
two o'clock today, and we are expect
ing him every minute"

Worlds Largest Vaults.

In the underground vaults Of the
new United States assay Office, the
cornerstone of which was laid recently
in New York, can be stored more than
$40 900, 100000 in gold. They are said
to be the largest and finest in the
world, according to Popular Mechanics
magazine. Five Of the eight stories
of the building will be located beneath
the surface of the earth. Sealed in
the cornerstone of the structure are
copies Of several newspapers; med
al on which there is portrait Of the
president, and bag containing set
Of United States coins ranging in value
from one cent to $40, besides other
articles of interest and value. The

Perfects Radio Device,

According to a leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented device for the pro-
duction of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases it at certain
intervals. The system is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than In the
older Inventions. says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
pends upon the regularity of the cur
rent, and with this system the current
is released with a mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has further advantages
In that 1t is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded. it is thought that it will mark
q distinct step in, advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence it's possibilities are creating
considerable interest In the radio
world.

TRICKS OF ANIMAL HUMBUGs
Abundant Proof That DeceltfuI Acts
Are Accompanied by Conscious
ness of WrongdoInq.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to a military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing in order to pro-
cure dainties.
The cuckoo. as is well known, lays
its eggs in another birds nest, and.
to make the deception surer, 1t takes
away one Of the other birds eggs.
Animals are conscious Of their deceit.
as is shown by the fact that they try
to act secretly and noiselessly; they
show a sense of guilt If detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery; In some cases they mani
fest regret and repentance. Thus,
bees which steal hesitate often before
and after their exploits, as If they
feared punishment.
A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation, and stopped ev-
cry time his master moved or seemed
on the point Of awakening.

Tree Hid Loot 80 Years.

A gilt clock and other articles were
stolen thirty-nine years ago from
mansion near Nottingham, Eng, where
the marquis and marchioness of Down
shire resided then. Recently a man
saw a spike protruding from the side
Of a stump of a tree that had been
felled. Thinking this unusual, he
looked into the stump and found the
long-lost clock, rusty but intact, and
some photograph frames In filigree
work-the thief's hoard. A local
matchmaker identified the clock and
is now cleaning and restoring it.
