About the same time he was informed that a husband had named him as co-respondent in a divorce cross-bill.

EXECUTIONER CAN . WORK INFORMALLY Berlin Hendeman May Discard Dress Coat . , i. " . Berlln.?Althounb stror.3 f?ol!hg agulust punisment exists in (lefiiian Intellectual circles, the newly projected pcuul code contains no ubo iltlon clause and alms merely at establishing a uul/orui process of execution. The law now In force decrees that the death penalty lu the reich must be Inflicted by meuus of beheading but In purta of Germany dilTcrent methods of decapitation, based ou ancient local usage, are still employed Iu the Ithlne province, Hanover, Hamburg, Bavaria and Saxony, a more or less modem form of the guillotine Is In use. hut In" Mecklenburg, Auhult, Ileus* and Lippe tile executioner, still performs his grim > otttce with the "sword of Justice." In Prussia proper the sword was replaced about 100 years ago by the ax. A few weeks > ago, when Kari boetteher wus executed by the ax In Berlin for a double murder, a new ordinance first came Into force which permitted the executioner to perform Ills ollice In a dark suit, instead of In the hitherto obligatory black swallow-tail coat, with choker, top bat ! and white gloves. Another old custom which may soon be done aw. y with Is the grunting of a prisoner's last wish. '.There Is nothing in the German penal code to cstah "fish a prisoner's right to this, ?but In practice It Is generally granted "Unless It Is senseless or extruvngont. One prisoner asked to "learn to play the piano" before being put to death. How ancient Is the custom of letting the prisoner choose his "last meal" may be seen from the fart that in a Breslcu museum there is a medieval sword of justice with u special pocket in the scabbard for a knife and fork, which the person under sentence of death was permitted to use on the eve of execution. .Chromite Wins Place as Lining for Furnace Washington.?Although the Uulted States uses great quantities of mugnesite, which makes un excellent furnace lining but otherwise Is practically useless, its price has gone sohigh In recent years that chromite-Is being Imported from South Africa. India and New Caledonia as a substitute. The Imported ore contains chromium, the metal which renders steel rustproof when used as an alloy and pro; vldes an extremely hard weuring surface for moving parts in machinery when applied as plating. Just why this rather soft metal produces such' a hard surface has not been determined, but some experts ure inclined to belleve that the chemical action of the plating process serves to deposit It from solution as a hydride. ff While tests have shown magnesite to he superior for lining steel furnaces, the degree of difference is slight and the economic reasons provide the only apparent explanation for the use of chromite. The price of magnesite, which is mined near Colville, Wash., and In California, has advanced since 1013 from less than $17 a ton to more than $30. ?n the meantime, t|ie cost of chromite, having declined from high war prices, Is now $22 to $24 a ton, as compared with about $15 before the war. - w, . .... . 2 Goats, Sheep and Dogs Live in Famous Tree West Conshohocken, Ra.?I'eiinsyli sylvanlq's oldest and very probably Its largest sycamore tree, a patriarch of the forest which ohce sheltered Gen.
