new an Amateur Detective Outwitted an
1F.mbezzler—Posing an a Forger In Exile
Who Knew of a+ Rich Deposit of Ore
That Had Never Been Reported.
"I never was in Mexico but once, and
then I went as an amateur detective,"
said the mining ei-pert. "It happened
this way A friend of mine in Pittsburg
had his confidential clerk—to whom be
had given an opportunity by trusting
him fully—skip with $10,000. He knew'
where he was, jest over the border
from San Diego. But he was safe, for
he kept religiously on the wrong aide
of the line. Several detectives had been
tient down there to lure him over, bat
in some way he had detected the detect-
ive in them, for they often acquire a
professional air in spite of their beat
efforts to the contrary.
"I knew that my only chance would
be to go and live there as a fugitive
from justice Myself and so secure his
entire confidence. I decided to be a
forger. I took up my abode in the
wretched little town and in about 24
hours was so sick of it that I wan on the
point of throwing up the whole scheme
and going back. But my friend had
done me many a favor in business, and
in decency I owed him some return. Of
course I did not make the slick man's
acquaintance. I was determined he
should make mine. He held off for sev-
eral days, evidently thinking I was a
detective and expecting me to make, as
they had always done, approaches to
him. But I kept away, as if I were sus-
picious of him. The fellow was dread-
1nliy homesick, and I don't wonder, in
that place. $e used to go out on the
desert and look at the stars and stripes
aoroas the hordes and wish he dared go
back. He evidently began to think he
was worse imprisoned than if he had
been in some penitentiary.
"Finally one day he ventured to ad-
dress me. I replied very coldly- to - his
salutation, which only made him the
more anxious to know me. He began to
inquire intomy business and find out
what I had COMfor._ I gave him no spe-
cial satisfaction until one day I said that
I.had come for a change of air. With the
same kind of air in the United States a
few miles away this was, of ccr'se, ab-
surd, and be concluded, as I intended°
he should, that I was there for the same
reason he was, but I plied him with. no
questions. Finally, in his impatience,
he burst out with:
4,! 'What's the use of keeping -up this
pretense longer? I know and you know
that we are both on the same errand
down here. It is true, as you say, we
can't live over there'—pointing to-
ward the country over the border. 'Let's
own up and have done with the farce.'
So we confessed to each other, he tell-
ing me all about his crime, whieh I
knew already, and I telling him all
about my imaginary iniquity.
"That was as far as we got for
awhile, but it did him good. For it left
him free to talk. Ile was very home-
siok, and we both acknowledged that it
would be almost pleasanter to give our
selves up and serve out our terms than
to stay there the rest of our lives. I onoe
or twice hinted that I was ready to do
so. But ho wasn't, and I knew that no
ordinary inducement would gethim
where he could be taken. But he had
no opportunity of investing his money,
and his cupidity naturally forced him
to see that ho had made a very poor bar-
gain if all he was to get out of his ras-
cality was t� sit and spend it slowly in
that little hole of a Mexican town.
"I had already interested him with
my stories of fortunes that had been
made' in lucky mine investments, and
told him I knew of one rick deposit
Which I had never reported to any one,
intending to invest the amount of my
forgery in . its development if I could
get some more to put with it. I told
him it was in an out of the way local-
ity in southern Arizona, 'and that we
could get there without detection if we
would go on foot or burro back and
avoid the railroads. Finally he con-
cluded that he was willing to take the
risk if I would and go and look at the
property. The rest was easy. I wrote
'at once for an officer to be ready to head
ns off while crossing the Colorado river.
We had traveled some distance without
being challenged or exciting suspicion.
I threw off my pretended apprehension,
declared that we were safe from all in-
terference and that we, might as well
take it easy. This proved contagious,
and I saw that I would have no difficul-
ty in getting him 'to the point I had
designated to the officers.
"We were riding slowly along in the
hot sun of the desert %v'hen suddenly
from behind a butte two men on horses
'shot out and rode swiftly toward us and
were upon ns almost before we had time
to realize it. Although I had expected
them, I confess I was taken by surprise
—it was done so quickly and success-
fully. Of course they handcuffed me as
well as -him. But before we had reached
the railroad station they had released
rue, and he understood how he had been
fooled. I expeoted he would burst out
in curves and reproaehea, especially
when they confiscated what he had left
of his stealing's. But he didn't In fact,
it was so great a rblief that he made no
defense at the trial and took his sen-
tence with great indifference. I would
hardly have been surprised if he had
thanked me for the favor—he was so
thoroughly sick of exile. "-- 'hieitgo

Ofke WOMAN'S WIT.
It Came In a Flash and Saved Her Has -
band Disgrace.
In the waiting room of the railroad
station at the foot of Montgomery street,
Jersey City, sat a well dressed elderly
man and woman, people of evident re-
spectability. They had just arrived on
an incoming train. They were waiting
to make arrangements for the transfer
of their baggage to this city. Beside the
pian was a gripsack labeled "Weaver,
Hamilton,- Canada. " Finally the man,
who appeared to be extremely nervous,
arose mid started toward the smoking
room. 1As he did so a little old man,
attired as a granger, and who had spar-
kling gray eyes, which were not even
concealed by the glasses he wore, grab-
bed the man by the coat collar. The
man turned pale.
"What do you mean?" he asked of
the old fellow. e
"I mean that you've been smuggling
opium into the United States," said the
old fellow. • "I'm 4 detective. " And he
showed his badge.
He ran his hand np under the other,
man's coat, at the aback and, after tum -
j
bling about, prodilced several bottles
and packages.
"There's the proof," said he. "I've
been watching you ever since we cross-
ed the border, at Niagara Falls, and I
thought there was something wrong. I ,
don't know what tondo in this case. Do
you know that I could send you to
state's prison for this?"
The derelict's lips quivered and he
looked pleadingly at the elderly wo-
man, his wife. Tears flashed to her
eyes. Finally, she said, hesitatingly:
"You're quite wrong, sir. That is
consumption medicine. My husband has
long been endeavoring to conceal the
fact from me that he is a victim of con-
sumption. Just before we left Canada
he had his- life insured for my benefit,
unknown to me, he thought. I have
known of `his deception and whenever
he has left me, on the cars, I knew that
he desired to seclude himself to take the
medicine."
There were tears in the eyes of those
standing about, and finally the detect-
ive murmured a -_few incoherent words
and departed.
The elderly man and woman boarded
a ferryboat and then a Ninth avenue
elevated railroad train. A reporter, who
had witnessed the waiting room scene,
sat behind them in the car.
Neither of them spoke a word until
they were well up town. Then said the
man to his wife:
"Mary, how could you lie so? How
came you to think of such a story?" '
"John, I could and would die to save
yon disgrace. But for the land's sake
don't be tempted again,'' said she.--

INDIA < RUBBER.
Tests by Which the Quality of the Ma-
terial May Be Established.
Some few years ago Lieutenant Vla-
dimiroff of the Russian navy made a se-
ries of experiments to establish the test-
ing of rubber goods on a sound and sate
isfactory basis, the following being the
main conclusions at which he arrived.
It will be seen that the tests advocated
are physical ones, as he came to the con-
clusion that chemical testing gave no
reliable results.
First. -India rubber should not give
the slightest sign of superficial cracks
on being bent to an angle of. 180 de-
grees after five hours' exposure in a
closed air bath to a temperature of 125
degrees C. The test pieces should be
about 6 centimeters thick.
Second. -Rubber containing not more
than '50 per cent by weight of metallic
oxides should stretch to five times its
length without breaking.
Third.—Pure caoutchouo free from
all foreign matter, except the sulphur
necessary for its vulcanization, should
stretch seventimes its length without
breaking
Fourth. --- The extension measured
immediately after rupture should not
exceed 12 per cent of the original length
of the test piece. The test pieces should
be from 3 to 12 millimeters wide, and
not more than 6 millimeters thick and
8 centimeters long.
Fifth. —The percentage of ash gives
a certain` indication of the degree of
Softness, and may form a basis for the
choice between different qualities for
certain purposes, •
Any exoesses of sulphur over that re-
quired for vulcanization should be re-
moved at the works, and should not ap-
pear on the surface of any object.
Now, these tests on the whole seem
Very well calculated to give useful indi-
cation to engineers as. to the quality of
the goods they are buying, only we
would interpolate here the remark that
unlese a good price is paid for the rub-
ber it is no use submitting it to such
physical tests as these. India 'rubber
substitutes made from oil and "recover-
ed rubbers"—that is, old rubber worked
up again with oil—have nothing like the
elasticity appertaining to new, sound
rubber, and they are quite incapable of
standing the elongation or heat tests
mentioned.—Engineering.
A sea captain has found that the sails
of a ship when filled with a number of
small holes bear it along more rapidly
than when they are perfectly whole.
Ere says that an ordinary sail cannot
receive the full force of the wind, owing
to the bulk of stationary air that fills
up the hollow of the concave canvas.

tralia, according- to the latest computa-

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY
Medical Science Records Instances of the
Combustion of Flesh From Within.
When Dickens used so effectively tho
spontaneous combustion of the human
body as a climax for al novel, he had
back, of him a great deal of evidence
that' such a miracle had actually taken
place.
In an art;cle on "The Pathology of
Mao, " in the old French "Encyclopedie
Methodique," D'Azyr gives the case of
a woman 50 years of age who had made
a practice of going to bed drunk every'
day for many years. Her bones were
finally found in the bed with the flesh
charred from them, as 'scientists sup-
posed, lw spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case of Grace
Pitt is giien in the transactions of the
English Royal society. She was • the
wife of a fishmonger who lived at Ips-
wich, and she was found. - stretched on
the kitchen floor by her daughter, burti-
ing, the girl snit, "without flames. "
Her body and legs resembled smoldering
coals and when water was thrown on
her gave forth the odor of scorched
flesh, accompanied bya suffocating
smoke. The girl ran from the house and
called in the neighbors, who found
nothing but bones and charred flesh left
of the woman. She, too, had been a
hard drinker.
A third case, given in a Trench essay,
-fs that of Mme. de Boiseon, $0 years
old, who lived near Dol. It is said
she was very lean and that for several
years she had drunk nothing but spirits.
I Her waiting maid found her burning
in' her room, the`fire in. her case, as in
the others, seeming to originate in the
flesh itself and not in the _ clothing.
Water thrown on her failed to check the
fire, and she burned until nothing nt

Indoor Photography.
To make a good portrait in the ordi-
r nary room is quite a difficult task, as
all the light to be had- comes through
the window and leaves the shadow side
of the portrait underexposed. This oan
i
somewhat be remedied by the use of a
piece of white muslin about 12 feet long
and about 3 feet wide or more.
Stretch a string across the room par-
allel with the window hand fasten it to
a point about six feet -from the window,
and also six feet from the floor. Fasten
muslin over the to
themes nli of the window
and throw the other end over the string,
allowing it to fall to the floor. This forms
a sort of one-half side of a tent, and
this somewhat confinee the light and re-
flects it on the shadow side of your ob-
ject and helps to brighten and soften
the light In using curtains for a back-
ground place them back of the sitter as
far as the wall will allow, so as to pros
duce a soft effect. Place the sitter about
three feet from the window and about
opposite the far side of the casement.
Pull the window down from the top, and
perhaps it would be best to cover up the
lower part of the window with some
dark cloth or paper. Close all doors so
as not to have any draft, and then make
the exposure. —J. A. Boos in New York

Noosing a Sea Lion.
A correspondent of Ram's Horn nar-
rates a pulling match between a sea lion
and a farmer:
Near Tillamook, Or., an old German
farmer chanoed to be driving along the
beach, when his watchful gaze was
greeted by the sight of a large sea lion
some distance out on the sand, fast
asleep.
It was the work of a moment for Ja-
cob to make a lasso of a stout rope he
had in his wagon, fasten the end of it
to the hind axle and adjust the noose
over the sea lion's head- Then Jacob
jumped into the wagon and started
homeward with his prize.
The sea lion did the same, and as his -
team was the stronger of the two Ja-
cob started seaward at a good paoe, and
only saved himself and his "outfit" by
springing quickly to the ground, grasp-
ing his jackknife and cutting the rope.
The Mannish Woman.
A masculine woman has always been
the abhorrence of men and women alike.
She is as repellent' to nature as an
effeminate man. The woman who
dresses in mannish garb, who walks
with a stride, who talks in a load,
harsh voice, who assumes an air of busi-
ness importanoe, who is always threat-
ening to do thinim that are unrefined or
difficult because they have been emu's
privilege, is a subjectof amusement to
some and of aversion to others,—Brook-
lyn Eagle.

A marvelous cure for Erysipelas, by
Sloan's,Indian Tonic, in Lambton County.
Mrs. J. J. Porter, of Corunna, writes s
I received the medicine sial right, and auk
much obliged for it. I had Erysipelas every
summer for five years, sometimes so bad my
face, arms and body would swell to an
enormous size and my eyes would be shut
for days at a time. I tried two doctors but
they did me no good, and I even went
for change of climate, but all to no avail,
until got your Tonto. After taking one
• bottle the swelling ceased, and I improved
every day and am now entirely cured,
Fred W. Leiskau, Baden, writes,
Please send me another bottle of Sloan's
Indian Tonic, I bought one bottle from,
your agent early this spring, and I must say
it is the beat medicine in existence. I was
troubled with a soreness in my right side
aid tried many doctors, but they could not
euro me, and after using the one bottle 1
have had'no trouble with the soreness. I
am very glad I can state this.
