Vigorous denunciation of Governor Cole Bleaae, of South Carolina, whom he characterized as a "barking dop who doesn't bite," was launched Wed? nesday by William J. Burns, head of the Burns Detective Agency. Detective Burns* arraignment of Governor Bleaae came when a news? paper man asked him if he came through South Carolina en route to Atlanta.

"However, that fellow is the least of my worries. Me is a barking dog that doesn't bite; he talks and rants and blusters around, and yells about what he is going to do?and then tucks his tail beenath his legs and runs when you say, 'Boo!' at him." Mr. Burns' attention was called to the fact that Governor Blease con? templates entering the race for Unit? ed States senator. He expressed his surprise. "I hadn't heard about that," he re? marked. "I have understood that for the last few years the people have been trying to clean up the United States senate instead of besmirching it.

Of course every real boy plays marbles, but not every boy knows how they are made. Many are of baked clay, porcelain or glass, but the original marbles were fashioned from the substance from which they take their name, and many are still made of it, and in great quantities in Saxony, for export to India, China and the United States. A hard stone containing carbonate of lime Is used. This is broken into and fifty of these blocks are thrown square blocks and about one hundred Into a mill, In which is a fiat slab of stone with many circular furrows on its lace. A block of oak of the same diameter as the stone a part of which rests on the small stones, is made to revolve on the slab while water HOWS upon it. The whole pro? cess requires but a quarter of an hour and one mill can turn out twenty thousand marbles a week.
