UNCLE SAM'S ( Some Curious Cont] science WASHINGTON, Mardi .?.-Very few people uro aware of the fact that Mn clc4Sani conducts herc at his capital a public, non-sectarian confessional fur those who have robbed him at various times, but who have later grown peni tent. This interesting institution is a branch of the treasury department. It is one of fast-growing importance. Thousands of dollars are being receiv ed through it each year and deposited in thc cavernous vaults of the treas ury building. The mau who has active charge of thc booking of the unique revenue is Chief K. H. Das kam, of the division of public monies. He places each item to thc credit of what he calls thc "conscience fund." The largest item he has yet receiv ed came lately from London. Our; consul general in that city transmitted a draft for $14,225.15, paid to him in English money by the Kev. I'lcbcn dary Harli', vicar of Ht. (?iles' Church, Cripplegate, London. Thc sum'jwas entrusted to the latter by a person de clining to disclose his identity, but who intimated that he had come into its possession of it by defrauding the Government. It was somewhat coin cidental that shortly after this deposit, another penitent sinner sent to the treasury one cent. ' the smallest item ever received. As in all such cases thc officials made no attempt to trace thc name or whereabouts of the per son who transmitted thc largest amount, lt has become one of the traditions of the office that no prose cutions will bc made in Hucheases and that "no questions asked" shall re main its policy. Moreover, thc names of depositors ore never disclosed, even when given, which happens very rarely. Some amusing letters accompany recent deposits ol' this class. A Chi cago man writes: "Some years ago I took a small apple tree from thc Gov ernment orchard at Kort Sheridan and, wishing to make compensation for same, I enclose one dollar in stamp.-?. Hoping this will be just, I remain yours, etc." No name was added. From Springfield, Mass., was received shortly afterwards a single two-cent stamp, wrapped in a scrap of paper in scribed, "For the conscience fund." A small sheet with mourning border reads: "Account of uupaid duties. Acknowledge receipt upon enclosed postal card." Two hundred dollars was enclosed. Another letter says: "Enclosed please find 15 cents to be applied on conscience fund." The sender waa evidently a better Chris tian thau financier. He enclosed eight two-cent stamps and one one-cent stamp. Another individual signing himself "Citizen," transmits a draft of $500 and writes: "lt is conscience money. I wish to return it to the Government." From Vanita, Indiana, recently came an envelope bearing conspicuous evi dences of having had at least a dozen addresses written upon it in pencil and afterward erased. "I failed to pay a small tax, enclosed you will find the amount," was scrawled upon a ! rough slip of paper. Ono dollar and forty-eight cents was tucked in side. Secretary Gage recently handed an envelope, marked "Private." Tearing it open ho found a small envelope bearing the two words, "Conscience money," and containing $200. The contributor hurried away before any further explanation could bo asked. In similar manner thc Secretary was recently handed an envelope contain ing $360 without other enclosures to state its purpose. A bold effort to disguise his chirog raphy is made by a New Yorker, who half prints and half writes this in pencil: "Enclosed $50, to pay for duty for presents brought over and not list ed. Charge to conscience fund. Val ue of presents about $75." A Roches ter, N. Y., penitent feigns illiteracy by scribbling, "These money belong to the Government." Ile encloses $6. All of the ingenuity of a Pitts burger appears to be concentrated in a transparent attempt io disguise his identity by writing upon an inside en velope, bearing only ten cents, the fol lowing information: "For the con shuns fund." "Konshhen," the original spelling of the third wnrd strioken out in favor of the former. A Washingtonian, who sends $5, adds the worst attempt at disguise yet employ ed. Upon a rough sheet, wrapping his money, he writes, "To the choinshons fund." Some months ago there was received from some unknown locality a small scrap of pasteboard having a"round hole cut in its centre. A nickel placed ' in thc opening was held secure by a piyce of manilla paper pasted over !! each side of the board. Upon one of I these plasters was crudely written in pencil: "Here is 5 cents I cheated tfic Government out of." A name, evi tSum?a CONFESSIONAL rib rations to tl io Con i Toroid. ?i News. I dcntly fictitious, is signed at the bot j tum. Under thc indistinct postmark I of some Now York village an anony mous correspondent writes: "Tho en closed money bclougs to the treasury, so please give it to Uncle Samuel and oblige II." Thirty-two dollars was thc amount. Twenty cents was received from an individual of "Oldtowu" thc State not being given on postmark. A sreap on thc inside bears the fol lowing intelligence; "To replace stamp that had been canceled poorly and were used a second time. From one who wishes to bc right with (ind." A Kansan, burning under a similar sin, transmits live cents in return for using cancelled stamps, lie signs himself: "One who wishes to live a Christian life." From Danbury, Conn., comes a two-cent stamp "for having sent a letter in a package once without know ing I was doing wrong." "Years ago," repents another sinner, "I misrepre sented the contents of a package I sent by mail." Ile sends twenty cents and signs himself: "One who does not want to cheat anybody." An anonymous letter from New Wa terford, (Jhio, makes this remarkable confession: "While in the army in 1863, at one time when there was bread being distributed, J. managed to get two^loaves, when I supposed it was intended for each person to only have one; therefore, in order to satisfy a reproving conscience I remit one dol lar, which 1 suppose will cover thc amount with compound interest, which please drop in tho treasury." Three thousand dollars is accompa nied by thc following note, lately post marked New York City: "Thc en closed belongs to the United States treasury. Conscience demands its re turn. (Jod knows the name and the sin." "One of Uncle Sam's Boys" writes from South Haven, Mich: "Enclosed lind seventy-five dollars to go into tho war fund. During tho re bellion a soldier was paid two months' extra pay by mistake, and ho now wishes to return thc same with inter est.'' With similar sentiment a Washingtonian recently wrote: "Through an error of tho hoad and not of tho heart in tho settlement of a claim sonic time since I received one dollar more than I was entitled to, and as I desire to live honest with all peo ple 1 enclose thc above stated amount." Upon thc back of thc engraved card of a New York business man was re cently mailed upon a train, somewhero iu West Virginia, the following terse and brusque advice: "This money be longs to the United States Govern ment; have paid itand am clear. Now placo it in troasury of United States and you will bo clear." The envelope bearing it was addressed to Scoretary Gage. From Norris City, 111., a parent sends two dollars' duty upon his child's watch, bought in Canada for five dollars. "I havo no way of know ing what the duty is," he adds, "but hopo tho above amount will be suffi cient to cover the matter." Smug glers appear to p.nrrpose the zicsi ex tensive class of these penitents. The collector of customs of Newark, N. J., recently transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury |5, received, with the accompanying note, from some un known person: "Please deposit the enclosed conscience money in the United States treasury." Similarly, the collector at Philadelphia recently received $10.87, deposited in payment for duties on goods imported in 1833. From New York recently arrived a small card envelope, addressed in a so ciety belle's hand and bearing $1. "Conscience money for evading cus toms rates," was tho only information conveyed by a small scrap of paper folded with thc amount. Shortly af terward eleven cents came in an envel ope of thc same size, addressed in the same hand. That penitents are wont to sign as sumed names, in many casos, is indi cated by a number of futile attempts to reach the senders with proper ac knowledgements. From Washington was recently received tho following, in foroed baokhand: "Dear Sir: Enclosed find $6.60, which rightfully belongs to the Government. Please acknowledge by letter to-." The du ??Hcito ??.f *ts regular ccrt?uC?to of de posit was mailed to the above name, but inasmuch as it was return ed by tho doad letter office, tho pre sumption was thatanom-de-plume was used. Some weeks ago Secretary Gago re ceived a check drawn upon a Wash ington bank for $23, and deposited it as a conscience contribution, accord ing to instructions of tho sender. But in this case, as consistent with thc usual policy, nothing which might identify the conscience-stricken donor wai entered upon record. One of the surprisingly few corres pondents shrowd enough to hide his identity behind the stereotype charac ters of the typewriter, writes from Portland, Oregon:? "Being an em ployee of the Government, I herewith return you $3b.''H, which I conscien tiously fool I am not entitled to. Re spectfully yours." No signature is at tached. A Pomperoy, Ohio, man, who signs a name, whether his or not, advises the Secretary in this wise: ".Some months ago I sent ??3f? to office of S. T., which should have been paid on household goods and money. As I now think it was not sent where it should have been and, not knowing where it should have been Bent, I en close you il to pay for rectifying thc mistake, and trust thc Lord will re ward you for doing so. Hope it may be convenient for you when receiving money to make this right. I blame myself in part for all this." A Springfield, Mass., man scrawls in pencil that ho is in doubt as to whether $20 enclosed is due the Gov rncnt on account of a past transaction. Ile coucludes thus: "Better be right than to be thc doubter, if it costs something of a sacrilicc. Doubt er." A poetical Government employee in Alexandria, Ind., contributed this: "Too much pay This month of May.1* Ile signs his name and encloses $20. President McKinley a few weeks ago received $3 in a letter, signed "Unhappy Penitent." This writer gives assurance that he will send more to give peace to his "tortured con science." "Tho act," he adds, with reference to a defalcation, "was com mitted in childhood. Remorse has takcu hold upon mc andi cannot rest. Who but God, my Almighty Father, has made mc do this?" He asks the President to forgive him for with holding his name. "If I were face to face with you," ho continues, "I wouldn't hesitate, but I have other reasons. Pray forme, too. May Ced bless you and yours." Thc Biblical reference, "Ezekiel, 33d chapter, 15th verse," is appended. A Clover. Ya., citizen sends four cents to cover value of stamps, which bc had long ago "taken off letters not marked." "Please forgive," he con cludes, "for God has forgiven mc and sanctified my heart." A state department employee the other day sent to thc treasury $2 in payment for "some small articles" taken dishonestly from his office. JOHN ELFUETU WATKINS, JR.

(?ueen Olive ia about to abdicate in favor of Princess Maize. The smooth "heylc d'olive" of Southern Europe may bc supplanted by oil from Ameri can corn, which is said to be better than thc imported article. According to expert chemists, a method has at last been found by which an oil, re sembling in consistency and flavor that which is taken from thc olive, may be extracatcd from the laden cobs of the country cornfield. To a Chi cago woman belongs the credit for hav ing discovered a method by which the crude oil, with its offensive odor sud impractical value as a food product, may be so changed as to partake of the nature of olive oil. Owing to the re ported failure of the olive crop and the consequent scarcity of an article which forms the basis for many a dainty salad, the find is at this time looked upon as being most oppor tune. American mills turn out annually more than 5,000,0(10 gallons of oil, which they extract from maize during the process known as "degermiog." Before corn is shipped for export, to avoid rancidity in the cargo, every kernel must uudergo a certain method by which the little fleck of yellow knowu as thc germ is removed. This contains 75 per cent, of an oleaginous substance which the chem ist has been unable to put to a better usc than as a substitute for linseed oil in paints and for lubrication. Its value as a foodstuff, outside of its be ing unpalatable, is enhanced bj' tho fact that it is said to be far more di gestible than any of the present oils used for culinary purposes. Its scope of usefulness, however, was retarded in so much that an army of chemists after repeated effort failed to rectify thc oil owing to its effervescent char acter. Miss Emma Sickles, of 5435 Wash ington avenue, who for years has been identified with thc domestic science progaganda, has, after two years' ex perimenting, succeeded in so changing thc nature of thc product that thc time is not far distant, it is confi dently asserted, when Italy and Spain's olive oil export will not b.^ de pended upon to supply American kitchens with thc article so much used in the present day. Glucose compan ies in this country have spent thous ands of dollars in their eudcavor to clarify and remove thc odor and dis agreeable taste from thc unctuous waste, but all havo met with failure. One of these, the Peoria Glucose com pany, is said to have expended more than $40,000 for the purpose, but all methods tended to p.ovo that thc feat could not be accomplished. Doctor George Ely, chief of the oil depart ment of the United States Patent Of fice, and a chemist of repute, told Miss Sickles when she secured a patent on thc process that repeated attempts had been made by analysis all over the country, aad that her plan was tho on ly successful one. Others insisted that it could not be done; that the ef fervescent character of the oil pre cluded any possibility of any such chemical ehange. "I consider that my formula is but another phase of tho great utility of the corn as an article of food," said Miss Sickles. "It is nutritious and of much greater value than many at present suppose. This will likely be demonstrated at the great corn kitch en which will be a part of the Ameri can exhibits at the Paris Exposition. The prooess I uso is very simple. For instance, I take the crude eora oil, boil it in a porous clay vessel for two or three hours, according to the ranci dity. Then, by means of bone char coal, I filter it through the same kind of clay, which, peculiarly enough, has a different chemical effect when heat ed, and serves as fuller's earth when cold. That is all there is to it. I can rectify it at a eost of less than ip cents a gallon by putting into use the same kind of machinery required to purify other oils. "At present a person may buy any quantity of the crude product for 25 cents a gallon; when it has been recti fied its value amounts to nearly $1 for thc samo quantity. One milling firm in Marshalltown, Ia., handles 1500 bushels of oom every day, and from this they extract a great deal of the substance. Despite the great output, but 2,600,000 gallons of the orude oil finds its way into the field of com merce; the baiss?e is virtually na se ed."-Chicago News. i DAII. _?

Thc mechanism and working of a locomotive are quite simple and easy to understand: It is only when we re flect on the speed and nicety with which the cumbrous parts arc made to do their duty that the wonder of it im presses us, says a writer in Ainslee's Magazine. The piston and connecting bar of a modern locomotive weigh about six hundred pounds. When the speed is sixty miles an hour these parts travel back and forth five times a second. Ten times a second, at the end ol' ev ery stroke, the piston head is at rest. It must pass from this condition to a velocity of ono thousand eight hun dred feet per second in one-twentieth of a second. The drive wheels meas ure more than a rod at every revolu tion, but when going sixty miles an hour they must turn more than three hundred times a minute. Sixty miles au hour is the merest commonplace in the mind of the up to-date railroad mao, but it means other things besides those described that are wonderful to thc outsider. It (Leans a steam pressure blow of twenty tons on each piston head ev ery tenth of a second. I means that up ia a cab the fireman is throwing into thc furnace two-thirds of a ton of coal every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster than ten men cen minc it. It means two quarts of oil every hour to keep her journal boxes greased and everything running smoothly. It means that the engine with its half dozen cars and load of human freight is moving through space with twice the po?ver of a shot from a hundred ton gun. It means that the engineer has worked her up to the point where she can use every ounce of steam, that he is coaxing her as a jockey urges his mount in a fierce race, and yet it means that he is ready at a second's notice to move the reversing lever and apply the air brakes which will stop the mighty steam avalanche within thc distance that it covers as it stands oa the track. Fireproof Cloth. No elaborate statistics are necessary to prove that many tires might be pre vented if carpets, curtains, draperies and clothing were non-combustible. This is precisely what a firm of Ger man manufacturers propose to bring about. After several years of experi menting they announce the discovery of a chemical treatment that will ren der any fabric of cotton, linen, wool or fibre fireproof. The process is cheap and adds but little to the weight of the article treitid. It may readily be seen that this dis covery will be valuable for securing t^e better safety of hotels by treating carpets, curtains and inside wood work; of advantage for coverings of explosives and in a multitude of other ways. It ia not improbable that a way may be found to make it waterproof. In any event, it must be regarded as an important achievement aod as open ing a prospect for the greater security of property. - There are . no v 92 Christian churches in the city of Tokio, Japan.
