She runs on express business, and :nns it uncommonly well. Many men have run express businesses, and It Is conceivable. t'.int some women could do so equally well, but this particular proprietor of homes and wagons mana ges her affairs largely from her Birk led.

Women are energetic and can attend to d: tall, but it Is rare that one pos sesses t.io executive ability necessary to tun a pi vat business without being actually on las spot continually. Of course, tills woman expressman has goo.l subordinates, but It is not, with her, a cn;-.e of some cue else doing the work while she remains a picturesque head. She knows well exactly what goes on in her stables. HcEldcs ill-healfa. t .lis woman has hprl to contend with organizations far larger tl'.Bii her own with t ie yreat express companies of the coun try, four or five of which send wagons into her territory, and even with the street car company, which operates a trolley express almost past her door.

She does riot expect ever to run an expiess business as large as those of some of her rivals, but so long as there is a comfortable annual increase In the amount of business done and the num ber of dollnra on the fair side c the balance accounts she Is content to re main prosperously local. . Her success, be It added as a last word, has not had any especial luck as an Important factor. She has found herself "up ngnlnst" mUfortunu more than once.

Them have been many Ions pursuits of criminal:', great In the dlHtanen traveled, Hi;; obstacles tivenome nnd the persistence of pumilng officers, but thut of Sergeant Wood of the Na tal, South Africa, police, Is doubtless a record breaker. The man sought by sergeant Wood was charged with em bezzling large tiums of money at Ple termnrltzbiirg. He got away from South Africa, and went to New York. Although the detective had Information as to where his quarry was hiding, et he had first to visit London to obtain the necessary extradition pa pers, Then he huirled to America, and with the assistance of the United States police, rnn down his man. -y the time he had reached Martlzburg. he had been traveling hard for nearly three months, and had covered nearly 21,000 miles. One of the sternest (bases of recent years was after I.oys Unrrell, formerly seigeant in the Seventh United Suites cavalry. Darrell enlisted at the begin ning of the Spanish-American war, and distinguished himself in Cuba. There he fell In love with a pretty Spanish girl and beggared himself In buying finery for his sweetheart. To obtain more money he robbed and murdered n companion In arms named Crouch. He then fled. A detective named Dnpny was put upon the murderer's track, and finding a clew, r.tnrted for New Orleans. He was right In his surmise that Darrell hud gone there, but when he arrived the bird bud flown. He had left on a British mile transport for South Af ilctt. Duouy took train for New York, fast boat tor Southampton, rushed by rail across Europe, caught a boat of the German-East African line, nnd finally arrived at Beira, in Portuguese East Africa. There lie waited, like a spider for n flj , nnd Just as Darrell was fancying himself safe from pursuit, he pounced upon him. Later on the detective de limited the prisoner safely In Cnstle William jail In New York. He had traveled In all 31,000 miles and spent $!1!"7 in the chase. One of the most astonishing crimi nals England ever produced was a man mimed Ueiison, who began operations in London, with two confederates. He organized a series of swindling com panies In the city, while he, himself, pretending to be an invalid, lived In the greatest luxury in the Isle of Wight. He posed as a great philan thropist, was foremost in chnritable works, and went Into the very best so ciety. By dint ot bribins certain offi cers of the law, he lived for some j ears on the proceeds of his swindles. Hut one day the crash came. He was r.rrestpd, t'-'iitenced and got a long term in Portsmouth jail. No sooner was he out than he was at his old tricks again. These culminated in Switzerland, where be manuged to gain the affections of the daughter of an English officer. Through her he induced her father to trust him with the investment of ills entire capital, some 35,0(0. He bolted with the money. Chased across Europe, a de tective caught him at Bremen. To avoid scandal the victim promised not to prosecute if Benson would give up the money. The latter did so and left for America. Hardly was the vessel out of sight before it was discovered that the bundle of scrip the thief had handed over was worth at most Followed across the Atlantic, Benson escaped tit Mexico, where he made $25. 0(i by oasslng himself off as Mine Patti's agMit and selling fo'ged concert tickets. By this time his photograph was lu almost every police bureau In the world. Yet he dodged and twisted under a dozen aliases, and was heard of In almost, every Soutn American state before a clever New York detec tive ran him down in Rio after a two years' hunt. Even then he cheated Justice. Land ed '.n prison In New York be walked tilt stairs (batting amiably to his jailer. Suddenly he made a spring and Jumppu cican over the bannister. He was picked up with a broken back and died. The police never exhibit more re lentless energy than In hunting down a coiner. A coiner's crime Is against government, and so the whole forces of the Mate are against him. Tho l ulled Slates suffers far more from coiners than England does nnd Is pro poitlonntely keen to run down such offenders. Early In PJOO a man named Hastings was surprised In his work shop, from which he had issued many thousands of small silver coin, but he va& too cuiek for his would-be cap tors and escaped. No fewer than seven secret service men were put on his track. The remarkable fact is that Hustings ::ver attempted to leave tho States. Kllfer, one of the detectives, got a l int that a stranger was in the woods. He took a blanket and Bomn food and bid hlmsalf In a thicket. Very early In the morning Hastings passed, car tying a bag or food. . Ellfer tracked him to his refuge and saw that the forger was armed. He waited some dis tance away in hiding. When night came Hastings came out with a dark lantern and searched every bush near blii hiding place. At last he was sat ibfted an-1 went back. So soon as Ell fer felt fiire the man was asleep he crept up and had tho handcuffs on him before he could wake, On the way to jull Hastings told his captor that he bad seen Mm on 10 different occasions nnd bad once, in Cincinnati, been with in three feet of him in a theatre. cul cigo Chronicle.

A good deal of concern has been ex pressed In the Inst year or so on the subject of platinum, add the source of ptoducliou to meet the growing de mand. It Is beyond doubt that the supply is not Increarhut If It In in creasing at nil at anything like the mime rnt .1.1 the consumption: and If this position Is not rectified und the balance readjusted It Is ensy to foresee n time wb'-n rntcrprl:;es' which depend upon platinum will languish for want of the material which It will be Im possible to secure in adequate quanti ties, even at famine prices, legislation In the relchstag of the fatherland has a way of being grandfatherly at times, but In tho circumstances there is much to be said for the bill which was under consideration not long ago with the object of tbtnlnlng a legal prohibition of the use of platinum where It could be replaced without serious inconven ience by some other metal and to lim it Its consumption to rases where Its employment Is essential. It Is not easy to see how such an en actment as this could be enforced strictly, but, in the abstract, the meas ure was undoubtedly wise; besides, the restricted use ot platinum in one coun try would go a very little woy to reme dy a situation that Is becoming acute In all manufacturing countries. For the metal Is in great request In the manufacture of electrical apparatus and for electrical engineering gen erally, as well as for numerous other purposes lor wblcli no effective sub stitute hna been found. There Is no f ood reason to anticipate an actual ex huuntlon of supplies, but the fear Is that, mainly with the progress of elec tricity, the gulf between demand and supply may become wider and wider. Something like 95 percent of Inst year's production of 13,800 pounds, ps cotn pared with 1.1,250 pounds for 19U0, came from Husslu, nnd while It Is prob iili'e that scientific exploitation of the whole of the Vrnls would lead to the discovery of other sources of supply. It Is pretty clear that In the govern ment. of Perm little enough progress Is being made In spite of the profitable litss of the Industry. Perhaps the xparscne; of the distribution accounts iargcly lor tuTs. The metal is ob tained from alluvlnl deposits or up to fcur to five zolotnlks (the zolotulk Is cciua pbitlmim-benrlng sands, which frequently Include gold, and which vary in occurrence up to four to five zo lotnlks, the zolotulk is equal to 66 grains Troy, and more in 100 poods of t-and, 3610 pounds). The thickness of the beds ranges Ircm three feet to seven feet. The giulns of metal are small In size, but tomeUiirs nuggets weighing a kilo gram or more are unearthed. The piat 1 mi tit is often accompnuled by- other rare metals, such as Iridium and osslum.

The metal thorn Is obtained chiefly from the Fllleld district, about 322 miles west ;t Sydney, where it Is found associated with gold. Here the principal work ings are el Platlna, a township situated about twi miles from that of Fifleld n deep alluvial "lead," containing plat inum and gold, extending from near the former place for over a nillo in 1( ngth and varying from CO feet to 150 ftet In width.

The valves appear to be tight, no escaping steam Is seen, but in a few hours it Is necessary to Introduce more water.

Charles Frederick Holder says that the ribbon fish, severnl specimens of which he has Been on the shores of Santa Catallna Island, Is one of the most beautiful In the ocean. It resem bles a silver ribbon, hla.sVd with black, and has a fin extending Its full length, which, over Its head, forms a number of plumes or pompons, vivid red In color. This, In long specimens, looks like n mane, and as some of the fish are 30 or more feet In lengta It Is not unlikely thnt they have been taken now and then for the famous sea serpent." It has been long known that the color" of butterflies are Influenced by temperature. Experience during the last ten years has given Dr. E. Fischer some startling results, and have shown not only that cold seasons may produce new butterflies from the old but that abnormal heat may yield the same varieties, the changes being due to retarded development. Extreme cold, moreover, brings out other vari atlons that may appear also In ex treme heat. He suggests that these varieties of extreme temperatures may become permanent at a future stage In the earth's evolution, al though Standfuss contends that they never were and never will be any thing but singular freaks.

The persimmon worm has many of the habits in common with the tdlk worm, and the cocoon may yet prove to be capable of utilization. When they were first seen In the south, in New Orleans In particular, they were mistaken for the silkworm, a colony being bred in that city. Hut Investi gation showed that they were a dif ferent family. They fed on tho leaves ot the perdnnnon tree, and spun their cocoons, which were much larger nnd coarser then those of the silkworm. The cocoons were firmly odd strongly knit, it being almost impossible to tear them apart with the band. The threads, however, were fine and had very much the same gloss found In the cocoon of the silkworm. The per simmon worm's cocoon is badly con- rtructed, badly arranged, and unslg.it ly, and some are as iniicu as tour Inches long.
