man Is facing a genuine mystery to
day. Tho mystery Is a man who,
yihsa arrested hero Saturday night,
ob general suspicion, was found to
60 attired almost 'from head to foot
la a suit of home-made armor.
A steel plato was fitted on tho In
side of his cap. On his forearms
were two Beel bracelets, which pro
tected his flesh from wrist to olbow
These plates wero connected with
other ones which covered his body,
by strips of .cloth sowed together.
In addition to bis armor, the man
was a walking arsenal. In ono sock
et tho authorities found a Colt's 38
automatic revolver, in a not nor an
old-fashlonpd "bulldog" revolver of
English patterns, besides several
knives of varying lengths,

Weight of One-Dollar Bills.
Most persons would bo surprised
to Jearn that one-dollars bills are
worth almost their weight ln gold,
says Harper's Weekly. A $2C gofd
piece weighs E40 grains. Twenty-
seven crlspi new one-dollar bills,
fresh from tho bureau of engraving
and printing, weigh the samo as the
gold piece. Dills that have been in
use have been tested, and It has been
found that It took but 26 of them to
balance the gold piece. It follows, of
course, that tho used bills gather an
accumulation of various matter, In
passing from hand to band, that
causes them to take op additional
weight equal to about 'that of one
new bill.

' BRANDING
nxiTrn rsEm txisnD wise.
i Washington, July 18. Consterna
tion has been aroused lioro in humane
circles over tho suggestion of Captain
Casper H. Conrad, United States
army, to mark horses with a brand
on tho inside of every horse's upper
lip. The brand is to bo made with
a punch containing a numbor of
flno Inked needles. It does not differ
greatly from tho practice of tattoo
ing. According to Dr. A. D, Melvin,
hlef of tho bureau of animal lndus
. try, tho operation would not be very
painful to the animals, Tho old sys
tem of branding tho mpn the hoof is1
objectionable,, because the brand
wears off In about four months' time.
Secretary John It. Head, of tho
humane society, has taken up tho
matter with the executive council.

New York, July 18. Despite the

first passenger trip on tho monorail
ended in a wreck, promoters of. the
one-rail system stated today that the

for passenger traffic.
The line runs from Barstow to

provided It proved practical.
In tho wreck Saturday night seven
