Vast Iron Ore Field
Is Found in Russia

Moscow.-A scientific expedition
financed by the government, has solved
a mystery Of fifty years standing by
It's discovery in Kursk of a magnetic
iron ore field. The ore was found at a
depth Of 600 feet and in such quantity
as to arouse the hope that it may de-
velop into one of the worlds largest
fields.
About fifty years ago 1t was noted
that compasses used in Kursk, instead
of pointing directly at the north mag
netic pole, swerved as much as Is de-
grees toward an indefinite stretch Of
territory. The presence of magnetic
ore was agreed to be the cause, but
hundreds of borings failed to locate it.
The soviet expedition was sent at
the instance of Premier Lenin and was
headed by Professors Lazarov, Gubkin
and Archangelsky. They found the ore
after six months work, In the vicinity
of the provincial town of Tchigri. The
ore sent here assays from 80 to rs per
cent pure magnetic iron. The re-
searches Of the scientists indicate that
the ore field is $50 kilometers long
and from one to two kilometers wide,
varying in depth from 500 to 300 feet.

RARE COIN COLLECTION
TO Be MOVED TO CAPITAL
invaluable Assortment in PhiIa-
deiphia Mint to Have Home
in National Museum.

The Forthcoming removal of the
Philadelphia mint's Invaluable collec-
tion of coins, tokens and medals to the
National museum in Washington has
aroused feeling of disappointment in
the former city.
The collection, begun when the mint
was established in 1892, is said to be
one Of the finest in the world 1t COM
prises 1858 coins minted and used in
the United States since the coming Of
the colonists. There also are thou
sands of other coins representing more
than forty nations.
1t Is impossible to estimate the exact
value OF the collection, which includes
specimens of the New England shll-
ing, an almost plain silver disc, dating
from 1861 and made in the first colo
NAL mint, established at Boston with
out the authority Of the English crown.
There are specimens Of the Frank
lin cent" minted in copper from 1887
on Because Of the expression, Mind
Your Business engraved on the coin,
1t was thought Benjamin Franklin was
responsible for the design. This has
since been considered improbable The
coin was struck in New York by James
Jarvis, with whom congress contracted
to coin 300 tons Of copper.
rare five-eagle, or $50 gold piece,
minted in 1877, is included in the col.
lection, together with Ephraim Brash-
er's doubloon, struck by a New York
jeweler in the Eighteenth century.
The greater number of coins are
those from foreign countries There
are antique coins from Great Britain,
France, Greece, Belgium, Norway,
Sweden and other European countries
Some of these coins were minted by
imperial cities, such as Augsburg and
Bremen, as well as by bishoprics in
Germany.
The collection contains three silver
dollars minted in 1904; half dime OF
1892, bearing an eagle flying and the
words Lib. Par Of Science and In
States Of America; gold
coins struck In Philadelphia which
bore for the first time "E Pluribus
Unum"; coins which carried for the
first time the words "God and Our
Country
There are also large number of !
private gold coins minted near the |

FIND QUEER LAWS
IN Old RECORDS
Man Who Committed Suicide in
1888 Was Tried on Murder
Charge in New Orleans.
II you sometimes think our
laws are drastic, what do you
think about what they had to
stand for way back In 1887

New Orleans.-Even though the
pesent-day American Is so surrounded
BY laws that he has to watch his step
= every turn, he is not so bad off al
eer all. In 1913, a person In New
Orleans could not even commit suicide
and go unpublished
Someone having asserted that the
Sixty-seventh congress- recently adj
Journed, enacted 931 new laws, and
with many state legislative bodies
clearing their decks for action in order
to add few broadsides to the list
Of statutes, inquiring persons here
have been examining musty old Span
ish and French official records in New
Orleans to ascertain how the people
Of other days Jared.
Sentence Dead Man.
A man committed suicide here In
1898 and the records show that the
courts tried him for taking life He
was found guilty, and it Is set forth
hat the inanimate body that held
life too great a burden" was SEN
fenced to abandonment without burial.
Petty theft involved penalty Of
logging, three years imprisonment,
cenfiscation and a fine of so francs.
Persons convicted Of having shot or
wounded an animal owned by another
were sentenced to capital punishment.
AS In these days and times, MUIR
derer was executed by hanging, but
execution for wife murder was by
strangulatin.
There was no Volstead law, but for
permitting his slaves to become in
tpxicated one man was forced to
3Ount a wooden horse and was drawn
Through the streets, while his neigh
bbrs laughed at him.
The wooden horse seems to have
played prominent part in the punish
ment of petty criminals. Patients at
the city hospital learned that meat |
they had been consuming with rel
ish was dog and cat flesh. One Robert |
vIlleneuve, butcher who supplied
the institution, was hailed before the |
court on a complaint filed by the pa
tients, who charged that they had
been served roasted dogs
The records show that Villeneuve
was mounted upon the wooden horse
and given the same treatment received
by the man who had permitted his
slaves to become drunk. In the case
Of Villeneuve, however, his chest and
back bore placards inscribed: Master
Eater Of Dogs and Cats"
After this punishment had been
aleted out the record further states
that ian old gray cat was hung around
the neck of the culprit.
And inery for the women played its
part then as now, for one document

Seemly clothes for his eighteen-year-
daughter The parallel Of the
clothing problem then with that of the
present day continues In this case, for
It seems the purchase consisted OF
feathers and thread stockings

cause the father went into debt for
