UDE BAD ROUBLES

Amazing Tale of Bold Counter
faiting Comes From City of
Kovno, Lithuania
THE COINERS CAUGHT BECHANCED
Jailer Lednicka and One of HI Con-
' vlct Inmates Concocted a Clever
Scheme All Kovno Convulsed with
the 8tory How Discovery Came.
Moscow, Russia. At Kovno, a largo
town In Lithuania, tho public have
been complaining for some time past
of the multitude of false roubles, half
roubles and 15-kopeck pieces in circu
lation. The passing of sucli coins is
not. In itself, punlnhnblo In Russia,
and the most punctilious persons do
Dot hesitate to try to get rid of false
coins. The best place is the market,
where the Jews take and pass them
with the greatest of ease. In respecta
ble households the false-coins go to
the cook, who exchanges them for
meat and vegetables nt the market
place. But at Kovno things were get
ting too bad, nnd even the Jews grew
careful of what money they took.
The governor of the prison, who fol
lowed the same plan as ordinary mor
tals for getting rid of supurious coin,
lad complaints from his cook, who
got back as good or rather as bad
m she gave, and received false coin in
nor change whenever she went to
market. The governor in turn com
plained to the head of tho police who
promised to unearth the coiners and
let an "ajent" (a sort of private de
tective) to watch the market place.
The ajent soon discovered that a wom
an named Lednicka was constantly
passing false coins now at this stall,
low at that One day he had her ar--ested,
taken to the nearest police
itation and searched. A good deal of
noney was found on her, and it was
ill false. She protested her innocence,
laying that her husband had given her
month's money for the housekeep-ag-
What is your husband and where
tees he live?" the head inspector ask
xL She replied that he was a Jailer
tad lived at the local prison. Mr.
lednicka was promptly sent for and
tuestioned as to his wife's money. At
(nt he refused to answer, but finally
admitted that he got the money from
me of the prisoners under his charge
man named Mucha, who had been
prison awaiting trial on a charge of
jaitdltlsm for the past eight months.
( "What part of the prison does he
yva In?" asked the ustonlshed lnspec
pr. "In a cell, of course," was the
newer. "No. 25 on the ground floor,
the left side of the courtyard." Tho
olice set off to the prison and asked
or leave to search cell No. 25.
,"Are you mad?" cried the governor.
' 'The prison's under my charge! You
-n bring me people here, but I'm
tnged if you're going to inspect my
; ace whenever it suits."
Then they explained that Lednicka
i confessed to getting false coins
om cell No. 25, and hinted that ho
- mself had asked to have the coiners
covered. He reluctantly gave way
id the cell was opened much to tho
. scorn fit ure of tho occupant, who,
i re that Lednicka alone had the keys,
coining false money and had not
iie to put away his plant.
The indignntlon of the governor
' is only equaled by the mirth of the
lice, when the plant for coining
!se roubles, half-roubles and lH-Uo-'ck
pieces was found in the cell.
Caught red-handed,- Lednicka r.nd
icha made a clean breast of it. They
-k a fancy to each other from tho
iment they first met In the prison.
cha soon confided to the Jailor that
knew how to make false coins If
dnicka would go to a certain hojso
d bring the plant. Lednicka, for
sing the coin, was to share profits,
s agreed, brought the plant, and al
ys warned the prisoner when thn
son officials were lively to Inspect
i cell, when the plant wr.s taken
t and hidden in LednlcV.n's rooms.
The plan succeeded admirably. They
de and circulated falsie money for
ar half a year, and, had It not bi.-r.ii
the governor's cook, would prrba-
have gone on till Mucha went up
trial. Kovno is convulsed with
; story, and, of course, those are
'. lacking who hint that thd good
ernor himself knew something
tut the matter.

DEER mm t!Y RAIL
Animals Killed by Trains and Engi
neers Stop Buying Beef and.
Are Eating Venison.
Washington, N. J. Deer are so
numerous In Warren county that they
are being killed by railroad trains as
they cross tho tracks. Such killings
have become so common recently that
engineers, especially those employed
on the Lackawanna Railroad, have
ceased buying beef and are feeding
their families on venison. One of the
first questions the housewife asks her
engineer husband nowadays when he
returns home from his run Is how
many deer he killed on the trip.
The animals, which are so keen In
fleeing from ordinary foes, seem to be
paralyzed with fright when they see
trains bearing down on them. One
was caught between a Lackawanna
train and a steep bank yesterday. In
stead of laplng up the bank it did Its
utmost to beat the locomotive with
the track for a race-course, with the
result that it was struck, hurled and
injured so badly it was killed to put
It out of its agony. Another deer
rushed down the mountain Ride to the
tracks day before yesterday and tried
issues with the locomotive. It, too,
was injured mortally. The game
wardens assert that unless the slaugh
ter censes all the engineers will be
compelled to tuke out hunter's licenses
and also take their chances in prose
cution for killing deer out of season.

LYING DUE TO MENTAL LAZINESS
W. H. P. Faunce, President of Brown,
Explains Suspension of Students.
Providence, R. I. "Intellectual slo
venliness" is the greatest cause of
falsehood in this country, in the opin
ion of President W. H. P. Faunce of
Urown University. When nine stu
dents at the university were suspend
ed tor "cribblug," the president com
mented on the affair in these words:
"The grent source of untruth in

falsehood as his mode of success. The
real source of the evil Is intellectual
slovenliness, unwillingness to buckle
down to hard work and willingness to

THE COLUMBIAN,
THE USES OF
It's a Mystery Why Japan Has
Been Buying So Many Biliary
Calculi Which Are Scarce
BY-PRODUCT IS VERY EXPENSIVE
Largest Shipment of Gall Ever Made
from Chicago Stockyarda Was 75
Tierces and It Yielded not One
Stone Worth $175 a Pound.
The newspapers have been making
a mystery of the demand from Japan
for gall stones from beef animals.
Dispatches have told of mysterious
shipments of this by-product of a
pncklng house from Chlcngo to Japan
ese destinations, but no one has been
able to explain why the Japanese
wanted all of this product that Pnck
lngtown could supply, or why they
were willing to pay such apparently
enormous prices for the gall stones.
A study of the situation will probably
r.how that the high prices have been
due in a large measure to the fact
that very few gall stones have been
found, which fact would allow the
good old law of supply and demand
to get in its work.
The demand of late by Japan for
gall stones has caused quite a little
Interest in this product, to say nothing
of the price the Japanese are willing
to pay, which Is $100 to $175 per
pound. Gall, on the other hand,
brings the packer only about 5 cents
per gallon.
In this connection it is Interesting
to know that the largest shipment of
gall ever made from Chicago's pack
Ingtown on one order was 76 tierces,
and strange as It may seem, not ono
ga.ll stone was found In the whole
batch of gall bladders cut open for
this shipment Perhapa the fact that
the gall stones are worth approxi
mately $5 each may have had some
thing to do with that
One big concern states they have
r.ot collected a pound and a half of
gall stenea In a year and a half. An
other concern, probably killing tho
greatest number of cattle of any one
company, collect from all their houses
about three pounds per month.
These stones must be carefully
handled, as they are particularly de
ulred whole, and not broken up or pul
verized. The gall atones are first air
dried, then wrapped In fine tissuo
paper, then In a generous wad of cot
ton, and packed In cotton, so that
there is no possibility of their being
broken In shipment One pound thus
packed makes quite a largo box.
What these stones are used for by
the Japanese Is a secret they have not
co far divulged. However, some of
our packers have concluded that they
are used In physiological chemistry.
Others are Inclined to the belief that
they are used In the process of dyeing
fine fabrics, such as silk, etc. The lat
ter use seems quite feasible, in view
of the fact that the gall from an ani
mal contains much more coloring mat
ter than that from the human, owing
no doubt to the quantity and variety
of herbage consumed by the animal.
Gall from a beet animal is composed
as follows: Water, 90.44 per cent.;
biliary and futty bodies, Including
resinold acids, 8.00 per cent; mucr.s,
0.30 per cent; watery extract, chlor
ide?, phosphates and lactates, 0.P5
rer cent; soda, 0.41 per cent. If the
co'.id portions of the bile be In ex
cess, especially the chlosterine, blu
rry calculi or gall stoneB will form in
the gall bladder.
Beef gall is a well known and ef
fectual detergent, and Is used in the
manufacture of soap as follows: One
hundred and fifty parts of beef's gall
are amalgamated with 2500 parts
melted cocoanut oil, and the mass
saponified by the cold process with
1200 parts of soda lye of 38 degreeG T5.
The soap Is then colored with S3 parts
of ultramarine green and perfumed
with 7 1-2 parts of oils of lavender and
cumin.
To cleanse beef's gall to be ueed as
a varnish on paintings, etc., boil in a
porcelain receptacle 45 parts of beef's
gall with water and then add two
parts of powdered alum. Agitate for
half an hour, and when cold filter.
Then add to the mass, which Is -now
decolorized, 1-8 part of anhydrous
spirits of wine, and let the mixture
stand for two days; then pour off tho
supernatant clear fluid," the alum be
ing precipitated In small crystals.

ANCIENT HINDU Tf.Vlr LG. .
vUiYialns In Java of Great c;.t o
Clslith Century.
The jlorobordocr, unearthed by Eir
Stnn.ford Rallies when the Ki;glls-h
ruled In Java, was built by the Hin
dus In tho eighth century nnd Is hy
far ihe finest example of their work i '
tho Island. Stnnding on a hill In the
middle of the valley, this imposing ed
ifice, covering nearly ten acres, rises
to a height of upward of a hundred
feet above the summit of the hill.
It consists, says a Java correspond
ent of the Shanghai Mercury, of n
series of stone terraces built on top
of each other in diminishing magni
tude, so as to leave circumscribing gal
leries, nnd crowned by a vaBt cupola;
entrance to the galleries Is gained by
four stairways, north, south, east and
west, which run from the ground
strnlght up to the big top terrace, In
the middle of which stands the crown
ing cupola, surrounded by numerous
smaller lattice work cupolas, ami from
which one may step Inside into any
of the Intermediate galleries'.
The whole is built of stone, showing
nn immense amount of' carving, nnd
though there Is no genul-i'j inside to
the temple many of the galleries are
covered in, Innumerable images cf
Buddha occupy niches or prominent
positions on tho walls, and the side:",
of tho galleries were paved with bas
reliefs. Indicating the glorification of
this god and other incidents in his
history. When one considers that
there are several miles of bas-reliefs
alone the work expended on the pyra
mids of Egypt pales Into insignificance
before this stupendous undertaking.
One Author Who Paid His Tradesmen.
The personal characteristics of
great men so often display meanness,
and this meanness is so commonly ex
ploited, that this paragraph contained
in the enlarged edition of the "Life
and Letters of Lord Macaulay," by
Sir George Otto Trevelyan, newly is
sued by the Messrs. Harper, is worth
noting. "Macaulay was at some pains
to inculcate upon me," says the writ
er, "the duty of never beating a seller
down below a fair price, and never
keeping a tradesman waiting for his
money. I recollect his telling us how
he had received his annual bill from
a very well known Loudon shop, and
had sent a check by return of post
Next morning the head of the firm
brought the receipt himself, and burst
out crying in Macaulay's room. Every
morning, the poor man said, two peo
ple walked past his office window,
one of whom owed him thirteen hun
dred and the other fifteen hundred
pounds; and the last of the two was
among the most distinguished and
powerful statesmen in the country.
Whether as a customer, an employer,
or a tourist, Macaulay never under
paid a service rendered."
He Was Under Oath.
The late Professor Rowland, of
Johns Hopkins University, was the
most eminent physicist since the days
of Joseph Henry. Among his notable
achievements in the realm of pure
science was the calculation of the
mechanical equivalent of heat and the
use of gratings In spectrum analysis,
for which purpose he devised a ma
chine that could cut 40.000 lines to
the inch on a plate of polished metal.
In the practical application of his
knowledge he was noted as tho In
ventor of the multiplex telegraph ap
paratus. Some years ago, testifying in a
case involving the Cataract Power
Company, in answer to a question on
cross examination as to whom, In his
opinion, was the greatest American
scientist, he replied, "I am."
After leaving the courtroom one of
the lawyers ventured to criticise this
nnswer for its effect upon the Jury,
whereupon Rowland exclaimed:
"Well, what else could I say?
Wasn't I under oath?" New York

Aeronautic Progress.
Although only threo or four men,
like tho Wright brothers and Henry
Farmnn, have as yet practically de
monstrated the possibility of human
flight with aeroplanes, the inventors
of such machines are putting out a
great variety of designs, which com
mand much serious attention. At the
Aeronautical Exposition in Paris a
dozen or r.ioro types of these ma
chines, including those ot the Wrights,
Farman and Delagrange, were dis
played, together with a large number
of monoplanes, motors, screws, and
other apparatus Intended for use in
aviation. From the quantity of these
things, the Ingenuity and finish shown
In their making, and the interest that
they excited, one might derive the
impression that the manufacture of
flying-machines is already an estab
lished industry.

Treatment for Abtces.
Montclalr, N. J. While the police
committee was In session In the coun
cil chamber a robin flew through an
open window nnd alighted on the desk
of Dr. Henry K. Wrensch. The bird's
Mil was partially open and it was
breathing heavily.
"Hollo, my little friend," said the
doctor, "what can I do for you?"
The robin stretched Itself as if to
catch lis breath, and tho physician
took It in his hand and examined its
throat. He detected the trouble, and
taking a lance from his Instrument
case he made an Inclalon In the bird's
throat. Then he applied a lotion and
set the robin free. It sat on the desk
for n few moments, then flew to the
open window. Turning around, it Banff
a few notes of thanks and flow away.
Ilr. Wrensch explained to his colle

SHOCKED ATLANTA.
Reproduction of "Peyche's Bath" Or
dered Removed from Window.
Atlanta, Ga. "Psyche's Dath," tho
celebrated painting by Sir Robert
Leigbton, R. A., has been placed un
der the ban by the Atlanta police. A
reproduction of the painting display
ed in a show window by a leading
mercantile house drew a large crowd.
Chief of Police Jennings, attracted by
the crowd, went to the window, look
ed and was shocked. The chief sum
moned the manager and Bald:
"That lady could appear in public
all right if she had on some clothes,
as It is I guess she won't do for moral
Atlanta. You'll have to take that pic
ture out of the window."
The manager protested that the pic
ture was high art but failed to move
the chief and "Pysche" was removed
from the window.
Psyche In tho picture presents to
the onlooker a full length side view.
She stands Just above the water on a
stone pedestal, while In her hand, held
high above her head, she molds a
drapery of some flimsy material which
falls in careless folds and but parti
ally drapes the vision of beauty. It
is this the police have declared im
modest and unfit for public exposure.

Berlin. German archaeologists ex
euvatlng in Galilee came upon a hill
or large mound under which they
found the fairly well preserved walls
ot a house dating from the time of
Christ which belonged to the dwelling
of a well-to-do man. A large outhouse
nlao unearthed contained Jars which
evidently had contained wine and
olive oil.
The foundations of the house are
so well preserved that there will be
r.o dimculty In making tho exact plan
of the rooms, which are similar In
character and design to those in which
the famous supper of Cana in Galileo
took place.
These rooms are wholly unlike the
conception of Leonardo da Vinci and

IS HE A LITTLE BRGPHY MEDIUM
Strange Manifestations Are RepejicJ
When Lad Is Removed to Another
Town Scientists on Psychic Socie
ties Interested In Phenomena.
P'.trcrior, Wis. Tho little villas, of
Mount lloreb. Wis., of which u x
persona o'ltiddo of the Slate prohit!,,;
had heard until recently, has att;ilniNl
a distinct position on the map through
the uncanny attributes accredited tn
an eleven-year-old boy. Ho is .lain,..;
Henry llrophy, the grandson of Mr
and Mrs. Knut Lund of Mount Ilorc.i,
pioneer Norwegian settlers In t'.ic
town of Spi'iliiid'.'.Io. where they li;.d
lfved for lllty ye.ira.
The boy Is known variously as "il c
wonderful child Medium" and tl.n
"Mount Iloieb child of mystery," uc
cording ns the narrator Is a believi r
in or in Hkep'iicnl of the cult of Spiri
tualism. Me is a mixture of Irish anil
Norwegian, his mother being Mrs
1'iitrlck I. Tralno ot Madison by
former marrlag. He Is a pivtt.v
child, with line hazel eyes and curly
brown hair. Ills features are delicate,
almost girlish, and his pale, oval fact
suggests a sensitive mentality. Mo
would be noticed in n crowd becau.ss
of a certain flowcrllke beauty and shy
ness. The first uncanny happening occur
red on March !, when, as the boy en
tered the kitchen of his home, a snow
ball came flying out of space, struck
him in the middle of the back, and
knocked him flat on tho floor. There
is a wide open lot on that side of tho
house, and there was not a soul in
sight outside. Precisely the same
thing happened the following day,
when the boy came from school. The
next evening a series ot events put
the household In a panic. Cups flew
from the table and broke; a lamp
chimney was shattered, and the spool
of thread on the sewing machine be
gan to unreel rapidly of its own voli
tion. The boy's grandfather became
distracted with terror, and news of
the strange events spread rapidly.
The next day there was a funeral
in the village, which tho boy's moth
er attended, afterward spending the
night at the home of her parents.
That night things were particularly
nimble, and some ot the neighbor
were sent for to compose grandfather
Lund, who was on the verge of col
lapse. The Rev. Mr. Mostrom, with
Sam Thompson, another respected
citizen, responded to the call, but as
soon as Mr. Mostrom entered the sit
ting room a Ilible, which was on the
table, flopped over twice and fell to
the floor at his feet. "There," ex
claimed the old couple, "you see how
it is!"
The clergyman tried to explain mat
ters rationally, and finally sat down at
the organ to play a hymn. Meanwhile
Mr. Thompson was sitting about three
feet from the table with the boy on
his knee, when the boy suddenly ex
claimed: "Look out!" Instantly a
big carving knife, which had been on
tho table, flew through the air and
stuck in the floor in front of them.
Tho boy could not have touched it,
Mr. Thompson says. The same
phenomena occurred with a hatpiu.
and Mr. Thompson and the minister
owned up afterwards that they could
not sleep for hours that night.
Some of the citizens finally declared
that tho house, which was equipped
with electric lights and telephone, had
become electrified, causing the dis
turbi'.nce. Accordingly, two well-known
citizens went to the house one night
and, despite the protests of the fam
ily, who feared to be left in dark
ness, had the electric wires discon
nected. This failed to effect any re
form, however, and the boy, finally
becoming suspected either of posses
sing unusual pewers or marvelous
fcicight-of-hand abilities, was sent to
the home of his uncle, Andrew Lund,
In SprinKdaiu.
As soon as he entered his uncle's
house a pall of water in the kitchen
went spinning over the floor, upsettius
Us contents. A spoonky night fol
lowed; all sorts of household utensils
apparently went on a spree, and this
proved that the boy, wittingly or un
wittingly, was responsible for thu
manifestations.
"You had better take down that
looking glass," said the boy to hi
uncle soon after he arrived. His un
do laughed, but soon afterward the
mirror fell with a crash. As in Mount
Horeb, country people came in droves
to see tho boy. A neighboring boy.
who came over to play marbles with
Henry, was so terrified by the queer
actions of the marbles that he ran
home and told his mother about It
Ho said that when it became his tura
to shoot he was utterly unable to
guide the direction of the marbles,
which would fly directly from his fin
gers into Henry's pocket Also, he
said, when Henry shot, the marble
would stop short when going swiftly
and liy back to the shooter. Andrew
Lund declared, jop, that thfi boy. would
sit on a chuir with a cigar box con
taining marbles In his lap, and that
the marblea would Jump out of the
box without the boy touching them. .
. The case is attracting the attention
of( scientlntB and societies of psychic
