What becomes Of the vast volume of copper pennies that are turned-out each year by the government? They are never called In and redeemed like soma kinds of currency and coins," but' they seem to disappear w hit at; they are stamped and put In, circulation. ; , .' It la unusual If the date on any of the pennies in a man's purse at tho end of the day I over ten years back, yet the Philadelphia .mint, which .coins all the copjier pennies, sends out In some years as many, as- $l,tM,04to worth of them to the trade centers KHMKKMMW one-cent pieces. If laid flat edge to edge. In a row they would reach more than l.xx miles. ' And still there are sonw sections of the coun try where the penny Is little known. In many of the mountain districts of the south the "York shilling." 12'rents. Is still spoken of In trade, but no one ever hears the one-cent piece mentioned. In many--towns In the south and west the tradesmen offer nothing for a penny, a Ave cent purchase Is the smallest that can' be made. But of late years there have been more demands for pennies, from the west, and the government experts have declared that.thfa Is a sign of Increased frugality. '' its Use" in "the East. In the east the chief use of the penny, outside of filling tip child's bank and buying the morning paper, Is for the purchase of chewing gum and onecent candles.-; This is. a habit which Is Increasing in New York city every year. All the railroad and ferry terminals and the,. subway and elevated itatlons are lined with ienny-ln-the-lot machines, and they reap an enormous harvest every day. So accustomed has the public become to their use that many of the more Important ttatlona and waiting rooms have as many as a dosen of these machines, which have to be emptied once a week. Many a staid citizen has found himself asking the ticket seller In the subway or elevated for pennies In change for his dime In order to patronize one of the machines. Sometimes they do not work, and he Inwardly swears that he will give up the habit, but next day he Is pretty sure to be at It again If he has a penny In his pocket. V The Increase m the number of pen-ny-in-the-slot phonographs and moving picture machines In New York In the
last few yeare shows another way to which the public has taken to get rid of Its pennies." Many of these machines are now appearing in ferry terminals and railroad stations, and "emporiums' are now. open on many of tin Important streets of the city In whkh there are scores of these machines with young women passing to and fro carrying pennies to make the required change. .

Tfcoodore Roosevelt has added several cities, where he will stop over and make speeches, to the itinerary of his western trip which h?.s now been completed. This trip will seem like a continuation of his New York reception upon his return from Africa. His first stop will be at Cheyenue, Wyo.. and the cowboys there are expected to show New Yorkers Ju3i how an expresident of the United States and a gTeat African hunter should be welcomed. " .. . . ,. The Colonel will travel In a special car, and a representative of the New York magazine for which be works will go along. Col. Roosevelt said yesterday that there would be very few political speeches made on the trip, which begins Aug. 25 and ends Sept. 11. It Is expected, however, that the demands for speeches with a political complexion will be so great through the regions be will travel that he will have to depart from his present plans. Leaves on Aug. 25. Leaving Oyster Bay on Aug. 25, Col. Roosevelt will go direct to Cheyenne, using the New York Central railroad to Buffalo, the Lake Shore to Chicago, the Northwestern to Omaha and the Northern Pacific to Cheyenne. He will arrive at Cheyenne on Saturday. Aug. 27, and remain there until the following Monday. He will meet all hla old comrades of tho plains there, and he is looking forward to this visit with more pleasure than any other of the trip. Leaving Cheyenne Col. Roosevelt will go direct to Denver and 6pend the afternoon and evening of Aug. 29 there. He will reach Osawatomie, Kan., on Aug. 31, and stop there Wednesday, leaxiug next day, Thursday,, September 1, for Kansas City, Mo. This is the first announcement that has been made that Col. Roosevelt will speak at Kansas City, and he may talk some politics there, The Colonel 13 to leave Kansas City at midnight of September 1 and will arrive at Omaha next day, Friday, September 2, where he will remain until the Saturday following.

One of his most important speeches will be delivered at St Paul, Minn., before the Conservation Congress, which will be in session on Tuesday, September 6. Gifford Pinchot wilt be on the platform with him. Col. Roosevelt has already promised the managers of the Minnesota state fair to visit the fair grounds and make a speech. . On September.7 the Colonel will be the guest of the Press club at Milwaukee. The next jump will be to Freeport, 111., and then to Chicago, where he will be entertained by the Hamilton club.

Next day he will journey to Pittsburg to address the Civic Commission of that city. Ht will return to New York, making no more speeches for the rest of the trip, and will reach Oyster Bay September 11. Deluged With Invitations. Since the information has gone out that Col. Roosevelt Is to take this trip he has been literally deluged with invitations to address all kinds of organizations at a thousand and one places. He declines on an average of 200 such Invitations a week. After be returns from the west, and before he starts on his southern journey, he will make several little journeys in the vicinity of New York. Beginning his Southern trip, Mr. Roosevelt leaves New York on October 6 and makes his first speech at Atlanta, Ga., at the celebration of Uncle Remus Day, In memory of Joel Chandler Harris, whom he greatly admired.

On October 13 comes the important political speech which Mr. Roosevelt will make in behalf of Senator Albert J. Beverldge at Indianapolis, Ind. When the Colonel gets back from this trip he will be a busier man still, for he is scheduled to make a swing through New York state, beginning at the Suffolk county fair on Long Island. The New York . speeches will all be of political flavor. RETURNS TO RICHMOND.

HIS CHANCES FAVORABLE AERIAL RACERS LEFT TROYES THIS MORNING FOR NANCY AND WERE CHEERED BY THE ENTIRE POPULATION.
' ( American News Service.) Troyes, France, Aug. 8. Accurately as passenger trains dispatched from a station, the six aviators who arrived here yesterday without mishap in the greatest air race ever held the 4S9 mile contest circling the north of France were sent off from here this morning. Practically the entire population of Troyes, more than 50,000, watched the bird-men ' soar away, headed for Nancy, approximately 10H miles northeast. Nancy is 192 miles from Paris. As the men were sent up at five minute intervals, in the same manner in which they were started, with teu others, from Paris at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, bells pealed, whistles blew and the enthusiastic throngs cheered. The morning was hazy and each of the aviators was prepared to find his course by compass if necessary. Le Blane In First. Le Blane, who covered the distance from Paris in the fastest time, one hour, 33 minutes, went first, followed by Aubrun, Mamet, Lindpainter, Weymann and LeGagneux. Weymann, the American contestant, was given a send-off by a party of American tourists and the few Americans living here. ' Between the time of their arrival here and the time for the departure the men had tuned up their craft and overhauled them. Few repairs were necessary. There is intense rivalry between the two schools of air men the monopianists, represented by Le Blane, Aubrun and Mamet and the biplanists, to whom belong Weymann, Lindpainter and Leg&gneux. " Weymann, just before he left, was interviewed. "1 am out to win." he said, "and I will do everything to prove American supremacy In the air. I want those prizes also," he added with a smile. This race offers larger rewards than any air competition hitherto held, the total amount in prizes being $52,400; $20,000 of which is offered by the Par is Matin, (newspaper.) The army officers who are following the racers and watching the. contest at every stage, were off from here this morning with the contestants. They praised Weymann highly for his resourcefulness in picking , up a guide yesterday when he lost his way. Much disappointment was felt here over the failure of the other two entrants, Bregl and Busson, to make the distance without mishap. It was expected this morning that they would recover their lost ground, however. START RIFLE MATCH t American News Service.) lwwt Clinton, O., Aug. 8. The opening volleys were fired today in the series of rifle matches that will attract national attention to the ranges at Camp Perry during the remainder of this month.

DIES III HEW YORK A telegram was received by Dr. C. J. Mendenhall, Saturday, telling of the death of Mrs. Mendenhall's sister, Mrs. R. H. Shoemaker, at her home in Saratoga Springs, New York. She was about 69 years of age. The funeral will be in Saratoga Springs Tuesday afternoon.' Mrs. Shoemaker 'was formerly a prominent member of the St. Paul's Episcopal church of this city. , . RAILROAD TRACKS. If You Must Fellow Them, Walk Out. aid. Not Between Them. , Two men, one young and the other grizzled with middle age. were walking beside the railroad track in a Boston suburb on their way to the nearest station. The younger stepped between the rails. "Better walk here," he advised. "It's better walking." "No," replied the older man. "I never walk on the railroad ' track." "But we're facing the direction from which trains come," persisted the other. "It's safe." "My son." said the middle aged man, "I was a railroad engineer for more than twenty years, and If I learned one thing from the poor chaps I've seen picked, up it was not to walk on a railroad track when there Is a possibility of walking anywhere else. If the law stopped all trains running on Sunday and this was 8unday I wouldn't do it. It's the fellow that's sure he's taking all the precautions that gets killed." Here was a man who knew about railroads from intimate conection with them. His advice was the advice of a man who knew. Every railroad man . of experience will say the same aa he. In England the tracks are private property, and nobody is allowed to walk upon them, so accidents are rare. Here hardly a day passes that we do not read of men killed while making a thoroughfare of the railroad right of way. And usually It is noted that they were on the "safe" side of the track, became confused by the ap proach of two trains and stepped in front of one or the other. Occasionally something is to be gained In distance by taking to the railroad instead of the public highway. The man who feels that be must do this will be wise always to walk beside the track and never on It ' It may not be quite aa good walking, but he to not likely to suffer regrets In a hospital.
