"Curious things happen in tho rcgla-.

elsewhere In the department," said n
official of the bond department of to
treasury. "Speaking of crank letters)
I may mention the most fcnnoylntf
crank or rascal in the country. For
many years at intervals wo receive i
package through one of the express
companies billed as containing $50,000
of Unitsd States bonds.
"On opening tho package wo find
nothing but pieces of old papers care
fully put together. Not a slnglo scrap
of information is contained in tbo pack;
ago that gives tho name of the man or
anything about him. All that wo. know
is that he sends the package from dif
ferent parts of the country each fame.
'Another funny thing is that the pack
age la invariably sent collect. The.
.United States ncrcr pays express
'charges on n package of this kind, and,
of course, tho express companies lose

wonder that the agents at th other end

Dr. Hausllck .once asked Schumann
how he got on with Wagner. .
"Not at all," replied Schumann; "for
mo Wagner is impossible. Doubtless
ho is a very clever man, but be talks
too fast ono cannot get a word In."
Some time after, in an interview
which Ilauallck bad with Wagner, al
lusion was inado to Schumann.
"With Schumann," said Wagner, "It
is impossible to arrive at an under
standing He says nothing. Some
years ago on my return1 from Paris I
called upon, him to talk of operas, con
certs, composers and other interesting
matters with which I hail become ac

stolidly, or rather he looked Into epace,
without saylug a word. Faith, I took
leave of him almost immediately. He
is an impossible man."

An ingenious invention which baa
been successfully experimented with
In several collieries in Lancashire,
England, bids fair to add greatly to
tho simplification of coal mining, says
the Now York Times. Under existing
conditions tlio coal after It bus been
undercut is "brought down" by nn ex
plosion of gunpowder. The new device
brings down tho coal by water power
exercised through n hydraulic car
tridge and obviates tbo wasteful shat
tering of tho fuel.
Made of steel, tho cartrldgo Is twen
ty Jnchcij in length. Along Its sides
ore orifices, each of which admits of a
prcssuro of tbreo tons per square Inch,
the total prcssuro being over sixty
tons. When Inserted Into tlio holo
bored Into tho coal to bo operated
upon, tho cartrldgo is connected with a
small hand pump. In a few minutes
after tho apparatus has been at work
the conl breaks up and comes down In
great blocks. There aro no clouds of
dust such as are caused by the gun
powder method, and tho entire opera
tion Is carried out without tho slightest
danger to the workers. About one and
a half pints of water nre used in tho
operation, and ns tho liquid returns to
n tank It can be repeatedly used.
Although tho Initial expenditure Is
greater, the cartridge method Is much
moro economical than tho system now
in vogue. It reduces the cot of la
bor, prevents wnnto and kccuicb round
er conl. One colliery proprietor who
has adopted tho Invention for use in
tli ico mines computes that each can
trldgo eaves 75 per week.
