Ten Tons of Gold
Hauled Through City

New York. March 29.-An armed
caravan moved through New York S
financial district today with treas
ure of ten tons of gold in rough,
metal-bound boxes, loaded on five
two-horse trucks. The gold, valued
at SIS, 100000, arrived from England
on the steamship Lapland yesterday,
and was taken to the subtreasury in
Wall street.
Moving along the caravans route
were 200 armed men, in plain clothes,
and other armed men rode on the
trucks. Few pedestrians knew what
the vans contained.
An elaborate checking system ac-
counted for each box in the shipment
and two boxes contained chemicals,
it was said, with which the gold
would be tested. H. e. Belyea, the
expert truckman" selected to trans
fer the consignment to Wall street,
has hauled more than rs tons of
gold, consigned to South American
countries, through New York's crowd
ed streets since February /.

Ii You Are Ambitious

I have noticed that men who have
climbed to great heights, as a rule,
have chosen the job which held the
larger future, regardless Of what 1t
might give in immediate returns. 1t
was not the large salary they were
after, but the larger opportunity. 1t
was the job which gave promise Of
the greatest future that they wanted,
not a "soft snap" with easy money
and no future. Many vocations which
pay the most money at first have the
least future In them. If you must
make sacrifices make them when you
are first starting out in life. You will
find it easier than to make them later.
What you need at the outset Is, the
most of all, the biggest opportunity for
growth and development, the job that
has the larger possible future in 1t. II
you are ambitious, you won't look for

Professor May Have Been Wrong.

The famous Professor Metchnikoff
gave 1t as his opinion few years
ago that old age was due to the for

sons are called indols nd.phenols, and
the professors theory was that they
could be destroyed by eating sugar.
Unfortunately, however, few people
can absorb enough sugar to destroy
the poisons, but the professor did not
let this trouble him in the least. He
found, he asserted, that there is mi
crobe in dogs called "the glycobacter,
which, If put into the human system,
will manufacture large amount Of
sugar with which 1t will fight the in

Indo-lsraeI Notion.

The anthropological evidence Is all
against the notion of a Jewish an
cestry of North American Indians.
Their skull formation would show
rather a relationship with the Mon
gols. 1t Is very unlikely that Jewish
pottery or clay tablets were ever dis
covered in North America. All ira
dition and all chronological science
would be disturbed by such find.
But the Hebrew language, in its
Aramaic dialects, spread throughout
the East eight or six hundred years
before our Christian era, and was the
official language Of diplomacy and of
commerce. Even if traces of that lam
guage were to be found in Canada. it
would prove nothing more than that
eastern traders had made their way
into that country years ago. Consider.
ing the narrowness Of the seas between
the new and the old worlds on the
Pacific side, this would not be very
wonderful matter.

WILLIAM B. HAMRICK KILLED
INSTANTLY

William B. Hamrick, of this city,
a widely known travelling man, was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon
about 2:30 o'clock in an autimobile
accident at bridge a quarter of a
mile from Mt. Crawford in Rocking
ham county.
The body was brought to. Staun-
ton last night by Thomas A. Bell,
who was summoned to Rockingham
by message announcing the deth.
From best information Mr.. Ham
rick arrived at North River station
which is the Baltimore and Ohio
station for Mt. Crawford, on the 1 20
train. He was going to Bridgewater
on business and expected machine,
to meet him at. Mt. Crawford. AS
the machine did not arrive, he start
ed to walk and was given ride by
D. L. Swartz, of Montezuma, who
was on his way to Bridgewater. In
the car also was the five year old son
of the driver.
As the machine turned off the
bridge, about quarter of mile
beyond Mt. Crawford the road
swerves slightly to the right with a
high embankment beginning at the
bridge end and the five passenger
Ford took a turn to the left and
went down the bank. The car
turned over two or three times, it
was said, before reaching the bottom,
where it came to rest lying on it's
side. In one of the revolutions the
onclInants were thrown out and. it
was thought Mr.. Hamrick was caught
beneath the car. He was instantly
killed, possibly from head injuries,
it was stated last night on the re-
turn of the body here.
: D. L. Swartz, of Montezuma, far
mer Of that section, was driving,
with his small son beside him. He
was caught in one Of the turnings
of the machine and rendered uncon-
scious. AT O'Clock last night he
had not regained consciousness and
it was believed by a physician from
Birdgewater who attended him that
eh had sustained internal injuries
The child escaped. injury. BY some
good fortune the youngster was
thrown. out when the car first turn
ed over and he was reported to have
ESCAPED hurt except for fright and a
few slight bruises,
Mr.. Hamrick, whose death came as
a great shock to number of friends
in Staunton besides the family con-
nection, had travelled Virginia for
many years. He represented the no
ton house Of Burton, Price and Com
Epany, of New York. 1t was while
on business of the firm that he met
his death. He made his home on
west Main street with his sister, Miss
Mary Hamrick, and two nieces, Misses
Lucy. and Bessie Levin. Another
sister Survives, Mrs. James Todd, Of
iFMt. Scion.
i Funeral arrangements had not
been completed last night.

ed in Mt. Crawford that this is the

FIVE KNOWN KINDS OF ICE
Application of Pressure Causes
Changes Of Movement Of Which
tho Importance VIII Be Seen.

There are, it appears, no fewer than
Eve distinct kinds Of Ice. First, there
is the common ice, which is water
frozen-at ordinary atmospheric pres
sure. This is called ice 1. 1t is from
10 to 1876 per cent less dense than
water.
If this is placed under pressure Of
about 1000 Kilograms the Ice melts to
water. If the pressure is increased to
about 400 Kilograms the liquid water
freezes again to another kind Of Ice
called ice 5, which is about 8 per cent
denser than water.
Increasing the pressure to about
$500 kilograms we get ice 4, the
volumetric pressure and the density
becoming from to 8 per cent greater
than water.
If we freeze water at atmospheric
pressure, but with temperature of
80 degrees O., ordinary Ice lice u Is
changed into Ice 8, which is on the
average per cent denser than water
and 20 per cent denser than ice /.
= Further increasing the pressure, ice
8 turns into ice 2, which Is about %
per cent denser than ice 1. On further
increasing the pressure, ice 2 changes
to Ice 5 and then to ice 4.
Sometimes these changes take place
so quickly that click Is heard. The
lower the temperature the more slowly
is the change effected. =.
This discovery has practical appli-
cation. When water freezes in closed
vessel immense pressure is developed.
The bursting Of boilers and water
pipes is familiar example of this.
The water expands in freezing to Ice
2, but If the pressure on the ice during
freezing exceeds about 1000 Kilograms,
corresponding to 10000 pounds per
square inch, ice is formed. As this
is about per cent denser than water
and has less volume, it shrinks rather
than expands. ~:
