WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Advices as to the daily doings of the Longworths, who are still abroad, would indicate that their program seems to be to take the leading part in an automobile accident one day, and to be entertained by a/ king or queen the next, .r

The startling statement is made by the Department of Commerce and Labor that more money is being taken South for investment in factories than to the New England States Four times as much capital has been invested in the Southern States since 1900 as in New England.

For the first time in the history of the Treasury Department, a city for which Congress had voted a specific sum of money for the purchase of a post office building site has returned a portion ot the fund to the public treasury. Toledo, Ohio, has that honor. The man from whom the site was purchased offered it for §64,000 less than the amount appropriated, and the balance was handed back to Uncle Sam.

A commission has been appointed to formulate rules and regulations for the enforcement of the pure food law. This com mission will have public hearings for those who wish to be heard on the matter. The regulations may be completed and ready for publication bjr the first of October.

The President has recently ordered the heads of the different departments of the government to see that the eight hour law is enforced on all government work. Up to the present time this law has been openly violated by government contractors, but the President intends to see that the statute is obeyed to the letter, hereafter.

Secretary Shaw is being congratulated on ail sides for his skill in financiering in the sale of the Panama Canal bonds. By requiring National Banks to deposit government bonds as security for government deposits, he created a demand for the bonds and raised the ^rice several points.

Dr. H. A. Dodson, who was the highest bidder on the list of those who are desirous of having some of the Panama bonds, bid 125 for bond No. 1. Dr. Dodson is a Washington man and is a clerk in the office of the Register of the Treasury. He wants the bond for his little grandson, who was born June 1 at Los Angeles, Cal., and who has been named after his grandfather. Dr. Dodson states that he wanted to give the little fellow a unique present, so he decided that the first Panama bond issued would be a good thing to get for the purpose. He will pay $25 for a $20 bond.

Over 3,000 applicants took the recent Civil Service examination for meat inspectors. These examinations were given at 190 different places. The examination did not consist of questions on Greek, art or analytical calculus, as was popularly supposed. On the contrary, 60 per cent was allowed for experience and 25 per cent was given on practical questions relating to the slaughtering, packing and curing of meats.

#The Keep Commission, which was appointed to look into the methods of running the Govern^ ment, has announced that the clerks in the lower grades of work in the government service are being paid too much, while those in the highest grades are being paid too little It is well known that in the technical positions it is almost impossible to %ep on band a sufficient supply &f eligibles. This is especi-

ally true in the Patent Office, Geological Survey, Navy Yard and other departments which require

men

of scientific or tech

nical education.

150,000 models of patents that have been granted in the past seventy five years are to be disposed of by the Patent Office. A good number of these will be given to the various colleges in the country. Some whose bis toric associations render them valuable as relics will be sent to the Smithsonia* Institution. A great many ot these models are for patents taken out by women.

HARDER THAN*THE DIAMOND.

Metallic Tantalum Drawn Into Wire or Rolled Into Sheets. That nothing is harder in nature than a diamond and that a diamond alone can cut a diamond, is a popular belief of long standing, says an exchange. Yet th(re is somiething harder. A new substance has made its apearance which, if it can be obtained in sufficient quantity, will probably replace the diamond alike in th.e operations of drill boring and in the lapidary's workshop, for it is harder than diamond so hard, in fact, that the only effect produced by a diamond drill, worked day and night for three days on a sheet of the substance one twenty-fifth of an inch thick, with a speed of 5,000 revolutions a minute, was a slight dint in the sheet and the wearing out of tne diamond. This substance is pure metallic tantalum.

Tantalum is not a common metal, yet it is also not of the rarest, its existence was discovered more than a century ago.

Pure tantalum was first prepared by Dr. Bolton. One of his methods is to fuse the double fluoride of potassium and tantalum with metallic potassium in an elctric furnace in vacuo bui he seems to prefer a much simpler electrical method. Making up the oxide with a filament, exactly like that of a Nernst incandescent lamp, he places it in a globe connected to an air pump and turns on the current. The oxide is decomposed and thte oxygen being gradually removed by the pump the filament is reduced to the metallic state.

Tantalum differs "from all other' known substances in combining extreme hardness with extreme ductility. When red hot it is easily rolled into bars and sheets drawn into wire. It is scarcelvi affected by the oxygen of the air, even at red heat, and not at all at ordinary temperature, and tne strongest acids fail to dissolve it nor does it amalgamate with mercury. It melts only at the highest attainable temperatures and is therefore well fitted to serve for filaments in incandescent lamps** being much stronger than carbon. A pouna or it will make 20,000 lamps, and these require exectly half as much power to light them as do carbon filaments giving the same brilliancy.

If it can only be produced in sufficient quantity, tantalum should prove a most useful metal. It will furnish better boring tools than the diamond drill and cheaper electric lights than carbon,\while the possible uses of a plate or a wire harder than diamond and yet tough and strong, are almost infinite, for every other hard substance is brittle, and this fact has hampered the engineer for centuries.

SsJIftll An Old Roman Town. J, A quaint looking house is to be found at Ribchester, near Blackburn, Lancashire, England. Ribchester 1,800 years ago was an important Roman city. It was conected with the network of military ways which Agricola and his followers formed through Britain. Under the name of Rigodunum it was the principal port of the Mersey, and winessed the coming ot many Roman war galleyis and trading vessels. Modern discoveries go to show that it was also a place of extensive manufacture, one of its products in those days being the curiously heavy red tiles used for flooring purposes in Roman buildings. Bronze ornaments were also apparently worKed there. Some year's ago the remains of what was evidently a large public bath were found, alto the tesselated floor of what in its time must have been a handsome villa. Altars, statues, coins, implements,' etc., have been found in great quatities in the neighborhood, the discoveries all going to show the importance of the place during the Roman occupation ot "Britain.

After the Romans left it Rigodunum.' or Ribchester, gradually degenerated. The Saxons made a little trading town of it, using in the building of their dwellings much of the material left in the Roman ruins. But it did not flourish, and was more and more deserted until it became a mere village that' gained something of a reputation in later years as a haunt for smugglers. Some of the old buildings still remaining bear distinct traces of the various occupants the place has had. Roman tiles and bricks have been worked into walls erected, altered, and added to by Saxon, Norman and Tudor builders in succession.

"When western senators were under suspicion, their dignified eastern compatriots gave them a look of scorn and contempt. What kind of a look did these self-same easterners give Senator Depew when he returned ^rith hip robes soiled by contact with ^he^ [uitable scandal?

Go!e Brothers United Shows.

Darwin's theory, that man and monkey are allied, tinds many new supporters among the visitors to Cole Brothers United Shows' triple menageries, to be seen at Greenfield Wednesday, August 8th.

In this mammoth traveling zoo is "Walter/' the most amazingly educated orang outang ever exhibited. Captured in the wilds of South Africa by Cole Brotners' special agents less than eight months ago "Walter" has been taught to do all that the average voung man can, except talk. Unassisted this phenomenally^geducated brute will dress itself in a tailor made suit with regulation long trousers, fancy waistcoat and tuxedo draw pictures upon a blackboard eat with spoon, knife and fork operate a miniature automobile as well as impersonating several prominent characters. Scientists everywhere have carefully studied "Walter" and are a unit in declaring the animal the most marvelous ever seen.

State Fair Five Full Days.

The Indiana State Board of Agriculture is sending out the premium list for the State Fair, which opens on Monday, September 10th, for live full days.

It hopes to obtain half fare rates on'ail the interurban lines entering^Indianaoolis on the first day of the Fair for children and old soldier:
