BANK OF ENGLAND FOUND
ERROR BY TELEGRAPH

In the days when the electric
telegraph was a new idea, and
consequently mystery to the
masses, there was trouble one
evening in the Bank Of England.
The business for the day had
closed and the balance was not
correct, there being a deficit of a
hundred pounds sterling. 1t was
not the money but the error that
must be found, and for the officers
and clerks there could be no sleep
until the mystery was cleared.
Throughout the night and all the
next day a force of men was busy.
The money was surely gone from
the vaults, but no one could dis
cover how.
The following morning a clerk
suggested that the error might
have occurred in packing for ship
ment to the West Indies some
boxes of specie that had been sent
to Southampton to be placed on
the vessel Mercator. The clerks
suggestion was acted upon. Here
was ali opportunity to test the
powers of the telegraph-lightning
versus steam, with steam having
forty eight hours start. Very soon
the telegraph asked a man in
Southampton: Has Mercator
sailed?"
Just weighing in" came the
reply.
"Stop her in the Queens name"
flashed back the telegraph. "She
is stopped" was the response.
Have on deck certain boxes
(marks given); weigh them care
fully and telegraph result" was
the next message from the bank,
These instructions were obeyed
and one box was found to be some
thing like a pound ten ounces
heavier than the others-just the
weight of the missing soverigns.
"AlI right. Let the ship CO." was
the last message. The West India
house was debited with the hun
dred pounds and the Bank of Eng
land relapsed into its customary
routine.

BAFFLED BY SCENTS

Some time ago there was held
in England a "Wonders of Science
Exhibition" which served to re-
veal many marvels to the public
unfamiliar with the work done
with the microscope, the micro
phone and the micrograph.
The microphone magnifes sound,
as the microscope does things
seen. The micrograph is the in
strument used by the scinetist in
taking pictures of things shown
by the microscope. More people
are familiar, to some extent, with
1e microscope than with the
microphone. They know it is pos
sible to make objects entirely out
side of the range of natural hu-
man vision visible by the use Of
the telescope for great distances
and by the microscope for minute
things close by; but few have any
knowledge of the device by which
it is possible to hear fly walk or
a caterpillar crawl.
Many other wonders of scinece
were shown at Sturiton, but
neither there nor anywhere else

can do marvel for sight, hearing
and touch, but not for the humble

accomplishments Of science have
been nil.
Let man stand two miles, say,
to the windward of the point
where herd of caribou will cross

breeze is sweeping and it must bs

minute particle of whatever mat

Meath the harvest the stricken Summer lies
Still smiling bravely in her brightest bloom,
Her heart yet holds hint of gloom,
No trace of sadness in her sunlit eyes.
We love thee, Summer child of Paradice-
A myriad host announce thy coming DOOM
Chanting the requiem of thy wintry tomb.
With lovingly look down the tender skies,
A holy hush is in the hazy air.
As in thy radiant beauty thou dost sleep!
Nature, arrayed in rainbow colors fair,
Is strong of heart her vigil long to keep:
We know the secret thou dost seek to tell
Thou are immortal, Summer fare thee well.

HIGH AND LOW PRICES OF LEAD
IN FIFTY YEARS.

J Replying to an inquiry from sub
seriber the Engineering and Mining
: Journal says that the highest quota
ton for pig lead during the last fifty
years was on June y and 10, 1917,
when the quotation was II cents to u
cents per pound both New York and
St Louis The lowest quotation on
record. within the time limit men
toned, was on August 20, 1896, when
the metal was quoted at 2.45 cents St
Louis and $50 New York
OF course we all remember when
lead hit the high places shortly after
the United States entered the war,
and also how the zinc market had
run wild long before lead began to
climb to such unheard of levels Not
so many of us, however recall the
low figure reached by lead in 1896,
tweuty-four years ago. Still there are
quite a number of old-t time Occur
d'Aleners who remember it well, and
who recall it now after seven years
of democratic rule and at a time
when the democratic party is again
seeking to extend its control of gov
eminent for another four years. For
i; was under democratic admins
tration, the last preceding the reign
Of Woodrow, that the price of lead |
reached the lowest level recorded in |
fifty years. The condition of the lead |
market was only one of the evidences
IF the deplorabl econdition of the |
country at that time. That was the
'ear in which Bryan made his fam
'us crown of thorns and cross of gold
peech which won for him the demo-
ratio nomination for president. Will
lam Mckinley was the republican
and he was elected by a
majority which left no doubt that the
eople held the democratic party re-
for the paraiyzed Industrial
ondition, which was perhaps most
cute in the mining districts of the
rest. There are pronounced indica-
ions that history will repeat itself in
he election this year, and that the
emocratic party will again pay the
enalty of incompetency, extrava-
ance and political abuse in the con-
uct of the government.
