COINS coiiected6y american Heroes in Sicily and
Africa.
The American character for valor, although
confirmed beyond doubt by our revolutionary
struggle, was greatly extended over the world in
the war waged by the Bey Of Trlpoh against the
United States. 1t was however not name for
enterprise and bravery only, that our country
men acquired. They made valuable researches
into the antiquities of all the regions they visited
on the shores ofthe Mediterranean sea. Among
other proofs ofthe attention paid to these OBJ,
jec,s, by our brave and patriotic officers, is the
collection of ancient Coins, presented by Commo-
dore Rogers to DIR. Mitchell. These were found
at Syracuse and Tunis 1.-THE site OF ancient Car
thage) They illustrate the reigns of Dioclesian,
Constantus, Constantine, Licinius, Maximus and
several other emperors.
The inscriptions Which can he deciphered on
some of them, are as follows, viz.
Head of Dioc!esian, Concardia !lfil;ta,,,
lreyelse mottO,)
LonstdHtigs, Vi0uyi CESAR,
Constantine, Virfns ExercitHs,
LtcinirLs, Topi Conservdiori,

These coins being originals collected by our
gallant couDtrymen, in The countries which at

Cabinet OF Natural History, for which they are
intended.

Manufacture If Vernice!H and HdeGroni, III the
u States.
The extensive foreign commerce of the Uni
TED States, has encouraged the manufacture OF
some OF its native productions, chiefly for expor
tation. The surplus Of our bread corn and -four
has long been sent abroad, to exchange for the
rum, sugar and coffee OF the West Indies. But
it is not so generally known that a considerable
portion OF wheat has for several years, been con-
verted into Italian pastes. These are called
Macaroni and Vermicelii and though not very
extensively eaten in the u. S. are in great demand
IN the French and Spanish American colonies,
and in the East Indies.
Besides several smaller establishments, for the
preparation OF these nutritive articles, in New
York and elsewhere, Mr. Sartori, formerly our
consul at Rome IN Italy, has erected a manufac-
tory upon large scale, at Trenton N. J. This
gentleman began his operations in 1892 lie
encouraged the emigration of Italian workmen
to assist him in carrying it on. He made expert
Inents on American wheat, for the purpose OF
converting 1t into that gritty substance, called Sc
molina, out OF which these pastes are manufac-
ured IN Europe. Semolinais coarse or harsh
powder, which bears the same relation to wheat,
that hominy or rather grits bears to maize. But
Mr. D. found the American wheat tso soft and
pOwdery to sssnIpc the form and consistence OF
semolna by degrees, however he oyercame
tins difficulty, and made his pastes so good, that
IN 1875, they we're pronounced in Havana equal
to those Of Italy.
His business bad grown to such size, that
when the embargo was laid in Dec 1907, Mr.. S.
had on hand 2l4,s00 pounds weight of these
Pastes, which he valued at $4,000. And so tri.
hIng was the consumption in the country, that
during year, as lie stated in his memorial to
Congress, IN Dec 1903, his domestic sales at
The manufactory amounted to no more than S 70.
At the time that government found il necessary
to impose that restriction upon our commerce,
Mr.. S. believed he would have been able 10 ex.
port 10 the amount OF $4,000 or 10000 dollars
worth per anDum, which woudlhave brought a
profit of 400 or 500 per cent, on tue prime cost
