STRANGE USES FOR GOLI). to Buried, Taken as Medicine, and Used on Religious Buildings in India. r- Curious and interesting facts ree garding India's passion for gold, and y, the strange uses to which the natives le put the precious metal, are contained y, in a report issued by the great bull's ion merchants, Messrs. Samuel Monie tague & Co. After mentioning the Df fact that last year India reported gold 10 bars worth 47,135,000 pounds, as s- well as 18,324,000 pounds in sovereigns, Messrs. Montague state that, as a contrast to the savings of France, ?e which are utilized to promote trade, I those of India are buried or hoarded. it "At present nearly all the gold dug from the earth in South Africa is by r. a fresh digging operation deposited 3; again beneath the soil in South Asia. >k "In India gold is put to uses unid usual among nations of the West, at Consumption of gold does not imply in England the actual swallowing of ie extremely thin gold leaves for medi[d cinal purposes, though it is so taken p- in parts of India. A frequent form a- of piety is to regild the domes of rely ligious buildings; such operations tg can easily absorb 10,000 pounds or a more. Sovereigns with a shield on the obverse are in constant request. A rajah of rococo tastes imported 11 some thousands to form a centre to is each minute pane in the windows of ie his palace." India occupies the position of a r_ creditor nation on an immense scale, a fact which renders the size of its d gold imports a matter of primary importance to the rest of the world. lg It seems assured that these imports ;0 last year were not only a fresh rec?e ord, but will attain a total not less :y than 28 per cent of the world's output.

OPEN SAFE WITH MUSIC. le Newest Strong Box Has Combination Tuned to a Musical Tone. A safe that can be opened by means of a musical tone, and in no other r. way, has been made by Thorne g_ Baker, electrical expert of London. From a description we learn that the t- safe is made of chilled steel, with the )r regulation knob on the door, but a without combination or time lock. le Attached to it on the inside are electro magnets connected by wires with ie a circuit of batteries. These are in is turn connected with another set of :o dry batteries, which is wired to a ie curious looking apparatus that looks it like a carpenter's mitre box, with a w double row of numbers down the in;e side of the channel. Across this is a 1- gauge, attached to which is an ordinary violin bridge. Over this fret ts is stretched a music wire of metal. a drawn taut to a binding post and r_ passing through that to form a coil below it and outside the tuning box ,p and thence down into the dry batter id ies. We read further: a "This mitre box is really a musical 0 scale, set by numbers so that the tone a can be gauged up or down by twos r_ as may be desired to meet the needs i. of a new combination, or a new tunie ing fork, if it is desired to thus change the combination or opening d note. The music wire, which may be 1 a guitar, banjo or violin string, is sett lected and gauged to synchronize ,e with the tuning fork used. When the d tuning fork is struck and placed at t. the top of the safe the wire inside e catches the vibration from the fork, y and vibrates in sympathy. This vi!_ bration passes through the binding !_ post into the outside coil and thence !_ down into the small circuit of dry 1? nr?i/>ollxr r?] Acin cr tVlic Uaiienes, illCCliaixivaii j liuuiuj, >s circuit. Asn electric current is thus started which passes on and is made to close the larger circuit of dry batteries, which starts a stronger current moving. This Stronger current acts j through wires directly on the electro magnets that throw the bolts of the concealed lock. Once these are 10 j thrown the doors may be pulled open. "After the tuning fork and wire are set to the same guage no other tuning fork may have any effect whatever upon the lock. As no two tuning forks are exactly alike in rpitch, it is obvious that only one tun' ing fork in the world could open the safe, once it is closed and locked, and i 0 . onlv the person possessing the fork is could have access to the safe. However, once it is open, it can be reset to accord with another tuning fork, - whereupon the original one is use>y less."?Popular Electricity.

Reno, April 24.?Never has thi city witnessed such a crowd of wo men and men sfeeking divorce, par ticularlv the former, in its hotel apartment houses and cottages, walk ing its streets and flocking to it places of entertainment, cafes am resorts. Fully 700 of such temporary resi dents are here for no other purpose than securing a legal separation fron their husbands or wives. They ar spending an enforced seven to nim months in any manner which wil most pleasantly "kill time" until the; are maritally freed. Unquestionably the final rush fo a Nevada decree is in full swing. Thi three leading hotels which have beei housing many cff these so-called resi dents, are literally swamped. Ever; train from the East adds to th? throng, who manage to secure quar ters somewhere. Upon the Overland Limited thi morning seven apparently wealth; women arrived, with their maids One of them through the telegrap] secured accommodations at one o the hotels. The other six were com pelled to seek boarding houses. There is hardly a modern cottag available today, although other di vorcees, having secured their decree are departing each week, giving plac to others. The cafes are running a high tension, the music continuin frequently until the early morninj hours. The courts have been compelled t set aside entire days each week fo divorce business, some single day witnessing fourteen trials. His Pathetic Tale.
