The slit was filled wltb diamond dust, which was prevented from falling out by fine Iron wire. The "portion of tho wire containing the dust was wrapped In mica. The wire thus charged was heated quickly to redness by the cur rent from a battery. On Opening the wire Pepys found that the diamond dust had disappeared and that around where It had been the wire had been converted to steel. London Engineer. YERKE8 8TORY WITH MORAL. How Traction Magnate Annwered "Do ltlelie Ilrlnif Happiness?" Mr. Ycrkes was once answering the question which everybody naturally put to him, "Io riches mean happiness?" "There were two men In Philadel phia, Governor Schulty he was called governor," said Mr. Yerkes with a ghost of a smile, "because he once wanted to be a candidate for the nom ination to the governorship" a delight ful and characteristic bit of humor per haps only Intelligible to those who know America and Americans and their craze for giving and perpetuating titles 'and another man called Alec Henson was his opponent Now, Governor Hchultz was Just one of those happy- go-lucky fellows iwhom everybody loved, but who never had a dollar to his name, while Ilenson was one of those "near men that Just thought of nothing but accumulating money. He went back to his office after his supiier, which he took at 0 o'clock, and worked there till midnight and he was there again next morning and, in short be thought of nothing but money, money. money all the time. "Well, Bchulta got a little queer be fore he died and one night an old friend of his went to visit him, He lived in a small unostentatious in deed, rather poor house, but he turn ed to his friend and said : 'Do you see that wall paper? It was a very com mon and cheap paper. 'Do you know that It Is pure gold? The friend ap proved that it was pure gold. Do you see that counterpane? It was some poor, common stuff Just an ordinary counterpane. That Is cloth of gold.' The friend agreed that It was cloth of gold. 'And Just look at this little slipper,' and then he showed his friend an ordinary, down-at-heel slipper. 'Feel how heavy it is it is pure gold, ten ounces to the inch,' And poor Governor Schultz died in the conviction that he was surrounded by and lived in halls of gold. "And throe days after Alec Benson died and left millions. But for weeks before his death he was crying all day and all night because he thought be had lost all his money and was going to die of hunger. Now, there were the deaths of a pauper and a millionaire, and they supply," concluded Mr, Yerkes, "the answer to your question as to whether richer mean happiness." M. A. P. I Thrilling Effect. The great organ pealed forth. The leader of the choir waved his baton with great energy, his head and his whole body assisting in keeping time and giving expression to the noble anthem. And the choir sang, in full chorus: "Aw maw O waw maw raw yaw jaw; Woe yo baw ho raw law aw waw. Law jaw 0 baw maw raw.

' FITS CA8K3 DRIFT ACROSS POLE. Proving; Once More that an Arctic Current Flows Over North Pole. Two of the drift casks which were set loose in Behring Sea at the lnstl gatlon of President Henry G. Bryant of the Geographical Society of Phlludcl phla and of Admiral George W. Mel vllle some years ago have been recov ered. One of them was found on the coast of Iceland, 2,500 miles from the point where it was cast overboard on the Alaskan coast In its tortuous course it probably traveled 4,000 miles, Its drift across the Arctic Ocean proves once more the existence of an arctic current flowing from Behring Sea across the north pole region. Fifty spindle-shaped casks were con structed from designs submitted by Ad' miral Melville and were sent north on United States revenue cutters and whal jng ships to Behring Strait and there dropped overboard in 1809, 1900 and 1901 Each cask was numbered and con talned a message in four languages re questing the finder to notify the Geo graphical Society of Philadelphia if the cask turned up, An examination of -the first record shows that it was cast adrift by Cap tain F. Tuttle of the United States rev enue cutter Bear on Aug. 21, 1901 about eighty-five miles northwest of Wrangel Island and recovered by Oai- taln A. G.

(tyfixr JoyThey Brhnh To Every Home I as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. - How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in ' many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who "do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than' the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If vou fail to get the genuine vou will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial tor the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. 0 Am to Knchmann.
