"They cer- tainly bave their businéss down fine. I went to a cockfight in one of the suburbs of Havana on a Sunday, Nearly everybody in that part of the 4 town had turned out. "With two friends I got seats close to the pit. I had pever seen a cock- fight, and I was interested. At the edges of the pit several natives were standing, facing the sudience.and yell- ing and waving their hands. I asked one of my friends, who had been in Havana a short time, what they were doing. He said they were taking bets. Sure enough, the spectators were shouting back at them, announcing their favorites and placing their bets But the bookmakers were not using even a peucil. One of them, I am sure, must have taken fifty bets. "I wanted to get in on the game, -80 I decided to bet $2 on a black game- cock that looked good to me. I band- ed over my money, but I didn't get a ticket. 1 feit sure I should never again see my money even if I had picked the winper. Weil, the main was fought, and my bird won, I watched the book- maker as he went among the crowd, handing money here and there. When he came to me he banded over $10. I was surprised, but he didn't notice it, as he was too busy cleaning up his slate. Finally I discovered through a spectator near by who could speak English a little that my bird had been a four to one shot.

Experts Could Not Agree on Material of a Celebrated Glass Vase. ant of the practice than ever bef If the precious metal be cleverly that even the expert deceived. It no longer pays to muti the gold coins which are mutilated. This practice, commonly known as "sweating." requires considerable skill, and the ingenuity displayed is often amazing. The "sweating" must be done in such a way that the coin will appear perfect, even to the closest observer. The federal government will not per- mit any gold coin to circulate the weight of which is below the point of legal tolerance, which is fixed at one- balf of 1 per cent. If a coin is found to be Ifghter than this it Is stamped with a large L, to indicate its light- ness, and is returned to the bank or the individual who last bandied it The only redress of the owner is to have the colns sent to Washington to be reminted. The owner must stand the loss in weight, which is often con- siderable. In cases where the coin bas been "sweated" an investigation may follow, with eriminal prosecution. One of the most insidious methods of "sweating" and perhaps the most diffi. cult of all fo detect is the electropiat- ing method. The gold coins are placed in a chemical bath, and part of the gold 1s detached by electricity and de- posited on some other object. In this way the gold is removed with perfect evenness from all parts of the coin. The letters and general design or the milling may be slightly dulled in the process, but only as it might bé from wear and tear. The lightness t ¢oln will be defected by the scales at the treasury, but in the mean- time such a coin may pass from hand to hand for a long time without arous- ing suspicion. It iS obviously exceed: ingly difficult to trace the offender. Another bafiling method is to spit the colp and remove the gold from the inner surface. The hole is then filled up with some baser metal, so that the weight will be the same, and the two sides are then welded together. It is possible to take a dollar's worth of gold or more in this way from a twenty dollar gold piece. If the work be skill fully done it Is impossible to detect such a coin by its weight, and the only clew will be in some flaw in the mill- ing. Naturally it takes a trained, ex- perienced eye to pick out such a coin. Meanwhile the 'gold plece bas prob- ably circnlated for days or even months, and it is exceedingly difficult to trace the offender. One of the commonest methods of "sweating" is to shake up a number of gold coins in a chamois bag and pre- serve the dust and microscopical parti cles which havé been loosened. The bag is first moistened, so that the gold will 'adhere. to it, and is afterward burned' and (he 'gold assayed. The bruises or dents on the colns will ap- pettr to' have 'been made In the ordi- pary handling. The profit from this treatment is small, bot many people seem to And profit in it.

Telephone Girl's: Record, For a + of six years, which Jel, a day or two ago, Farnham, Surrey, the paragon of te girl who newer her temper. She was not the only op- erator at the Farnham Exchange, but the kno that she might be the one who d answer a-call made the use of the plephone one of the plea- sures of lif instead of of its wor- ries to subfcribers in the. district, says The London Daily Mail. But there is gloom among the tele- hone users of Farnham, for the girl as got married--to a young man who used to listen to. her voice over the telephone wires. Miss Lilla Patrick was the opera- for's name--she is Mrs. Lefevre now --and just before her wedding the Farnham telephone subscribers re- membered that never once during the whole six years she had presided over the plugs and lines of the Farnham Exchange had a single complaint been made against her. This was a record not to be passed over lightly, so the Farnham subscribers subscribed again, this time for Miss Lilla Pat- rick, and presented her with $85 ani their good wishes for a happy married life. She received in addition many other separate wedding presents from telephone users. "We shall never see her like again," said the subscribers who headed the list, in a tone of regret. "She.always spoke politely, was obliging and cour- teous, did her best, was quick in get ting numbers, never cut you off too soon, never put you on the wrong number, never snapped at you, would ring when your number wis on, and, finally, she had a charming voice." The manager of the Farnbam Ex- change speaks thus in praise of Miss Patrick: "Her record in the service of the company was unsullied. Never was a mark made against her. She was a wonderful operator." » To the Scrapheap! When His Majesty's battleship Dreadnought was launched in Febru- ary, 1906, one had the feeling that finality had surely been reached in the matter of naval construction; bus the navies of the world have beea mak- ing giant strides ever since. First came greater Dreadnoughts, and then Dreadnought cruisers, Boadi- cea scouts, and Tnbal destroyers, en tirely turbine-driven, followed by great steps in the use of oil-fuel, And in the p few weeks several startling announcements 'have been put forward. Within a few days we had talk of 'motor-driven battleships, and a report of a coming small ae stroyer,' of a height only 36 inches above the water, and with only two guns, but of such power and rapidity of fire that the money spent on Dread- noughts and super-Dreadnoughts might as well have fn thrown into the sea. The guns are to be of 17 inch bore, and will fire a weight of 5,822 pounds. Nor must we forget the battleship cruiser Lion, launched only the otfter day. She is to be more powerful than the most powerful Dreadnought, and faster than the fastest destroyer. The Bt. Vincent, the largest Dreadnought now in commission, has only 19.250 tons displacement, as against the Lion's 26,360 tons. { The Madhi"s Lamp.
