This Is what one little woman, a
sickly one at that, aecompllhhed In
an occupation which was certainly au
odd t-ne for a woman to undertake.
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. Hers Is a curious case, Indeed.
So situated .few women would have
had courage enough to attempt more
tnnn tile management of their medi
cine Lotties, but that sort or life did
not suit her energetic mind, whatever
Licr body had to say about It.
This woman express manager Inherit
ed lh business from her husband. He
),,. mnde gome money: at least, she
might have sold her horses and wagons
and l'ved the life of a sofa Invalid.
Ii.it she knew sometalng about her
hiu.hand's affnits. ami fell that s':e
could run the business, quite as well
ns It ba 1 been run In the pa.-tt. In
stead of selling, she bong it. Her limn
.v. ement was strict, ami she watched
details carefully. Her first thought
was merely that she could keep the
bnsintss at the same level as befire;
b'lt s".:e toon prove I .'erself a better
ntina:er than her husband. Her patron
age Increased, and steadily Iter staff of
workers Increased. Her wagons rum
ble throii:;ii the street and are known
of all men, but few suspect that the
surnam" painted ncros.s their great
sides belongs to a frail little woman,
who, 9 likely as not. Is In the doctor'!
hands at the very moment.
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.
Only acmo management could enable
her not only to hold her own, but to
prosper. In tao face of this rivalry. 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. A fire, an accident to her
horses and other calamities have fal
len to her share and made Inroads on
her profit. She Is so ,1'ar from being
a favorite of fortune that sne might
have posed as a "poor thing" If she
hadn't made up her mind t.iat she was

of criminal:', great In the dlHtanen

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

that the bundle of scrip the thief had
handed over was worth at most

The police never exhibit more re

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

offenders. Early In PJOO a man named
Hastings was surprised In his work

thousands of small silver coin, but he

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

tained from alluvlnl deposits or up to
fcur to five zolotnlks (the zolotulk Is

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

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.

Tho method has been applied to I'ra
mis. regarding whose rotation llttls
is known, and the observations show
t.iat the rotation is retrograde, as was
to be expected. Its velocity wld be
determined by later observations. The

to be capable of utilization. When
they were first seen In the south, in

mistaken for the silkworm, a colony
being bred in that city. Hut Investi

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
