swine. "The owners, if Jews, drove an
illegal trade; if heathen, they insulted
the national religion; in either case the
permission was just." -J., F. and B.

KING'S LOST HOARD.
SPECULATION AS TO RECOVERY OF
TREASURE.
Ring John Lost Ancient Regalia of Eng-
land -The Crown of King and Other
Valuables in Disastrous Journey
Across the Wash.
New York, April 29.-A special eable
to the Herald from London says: Specu-
lation as to the possible recovery of lost
treasure will be revived by the discovery
that a fragment, believed to be part of
the hoard lost by King John nearly
seven hundred yesins ago ba.s.been found.
The Ring lost the ancient regalia of
England, many Norman jewels, the
crown of Ring Alfred and other valu-
ables in his disastrous journey from
King's Lynn aeross the Wash, on the
cast coast of England.
Late in 1905 it Wisbech publican, who
was digging for clams at Gedney Drove
End, on the border of the Wash, found
a, mud -crusted cup about eight inches
high. It appeared to be valueless, but
he took it home.
The other day a builder, who was
ding repairs in the publican's house,
noticed the old cup and bought: it for it
shilling. He cleaned the cup and saw
it was handsomely chased, and. that it
appeared to be silver.
He showed 11 to a jeweler, who offered
to buy it as old silver, but the offer was
refused and the cup is now locked up
pending appraisal of its value.
It has tWo handles, is plainly dated
1162, and its weight is two and one-
quarter pounds, while it Ileitis one pint
of liquid.
There is a project on foot for sinking!
shafts at certain points on the line of
Ring John's march for the purpose of I
searching for other lost valuables.

It Would Hurl Wheels to Pieces -

New York, April 29.-A despatch to
The Herald from • Cleveland says:
Mayor Tom Johnson hopes to give to
the world a system of rapid transit that
will revolutionize all present means of
travel and make possible flight by rail
from Cleveland to San Francisco iu
seven hours. Mayor Johnson has in-
vented a motor and is still workieg On
his plans. The car is built to run on
an overhead track.
At the righest rate of speed of which
the motor is capable the wheels would
fly to pieces. Here shoes take their ,
place. Powerful magnets take up the ,
weight of the car and minimize the Inc. !
Hon of the shoes on the rails.
From Cleveland to Chicago, a distance
of 342 miles, the trip that now takes
eight hours and more would be made itt'
fifty-three minutes. Stops at stations ;
would have to be automatie.

sisted of eight members, and the largest
of thirteen. The average, therefore, was
