As the conference of the representa-
tives Of the nations comprising the Latin
Union was postponed from last month un
Ill the close OF the present year, the max
iinum amount of their silver coinage in
1873 will be the same as in 1877, namely :
France. S5. 100000; Italy, $1,000 900 !;
Belgium, 81 ,080. 900; Switzerland, $780,
900; Greece, $3.50, 900. This monetary
league, known as the Latin Union from
the fact that the nations taking part in it
are mainly of Latin origin, was formed
in December, 1865, and then consist.
ed of the four first named states. Greece
having been subsequently, admitted. Its
purpose was to establish an identity in the
fineness and weight of silver and gold
coins Of those countries. At the star,
they had the double standard to deal with
as il was then in use. But when Germa
ny demonetized silver there was so rapid
decline in its value as measured bv cole
that the Union was forced greatly to re.
strict silver coinage This monetary
league or combination grew out of The
change in the relative value of the pre-
cious metals, and was a necessity to thos,
countries having a bi-metallic currency

drafts on New York, which were circuat
ed in the upper peninsula at their face

after sight. The democratic organs. de-
clared that this was good money. and We
were making fuss over nothing. MI
Tilden, however thought differently; and
when suit was brought last year by som,
creditors of the New York mine, on aboul
$4,000 of these drafts. he repudialed
them, and declared himself not liable, al
though he owned most of the stock in the
company and The debt was IA just one. A
characteristic plea was that the circulation
of such money was Illegal but The court
did not allow Tiden to take advantage 81

it is amazing how much the latter

A FISHING HOG.

The Cincinnati Enquirer prints the
following IN its issue of Friday: IAN
account of remarkable incident
comes from Aurora, Ind. A few DAVIS
ago, as trio Of young men, one a son
OF prominent citizen of this city.
were fishing for bass in Hogan creek.
near Aurora, they were disturbed by
splash III the water as of some ami.
NAL jumping into the stream. Look.
ing III the direction. they saw a large.
Dlack hog, which had evidently came
down from among the roaming lots of
porkers which made life burden in
and around the town, swimming ran.
idly toward the center of the pool.
which was about one hundred feet
wide and eight feet deep. At about
the center the animal disappeared
remaining under the water for con.
siderable time, and on reappearing
was seen to nave in it's mouth live
bass about eight inches long, with
which he swan ashore, and proceeded
to eat with the avidity and relish be-
cullar to his species. After having
swallowed the last vestige. with a
grunt the animal again betook himself
to the water, and again dived to the
bottom. Coming up with snort, he
again made for the shore with another
fish. which he dispatched as quickly
as before. This was repeated third
time, and on the fourth trip the ami
NAL secured a small turtle, which if
also carried ashore, and after some
difficulty managed to diSpatch. break.
ing the shell with it's strong teeth,
after which it ambled off. satisfied
with its fishing experience for the
day. The story is remarkable, but il
vouched for by a young gentleman oil
nndoubted veracity, son of Mr.
Henry w. Smith, of this city, who
saw the performance. He thinks thu
animal must have caught the fshe.
under the lodges Of rock in the bottom
OF the stream. as it seemed to b,
roofing among the stones while under
the water"

lowlands in that it has broad feet.
nearly as large as the human hand.
BY these, quite a peculiar and as
serviceable as the snOw-shoes of the
Indian OF hunter, it runs rapidly over
the surface Of the snow and easily
eludes its pursuers. Its principal food
is juniper berries and the Alpine
seed which abound in the snow re-
giOns that it inhabits. But the most
remarkable thing about this animal is
that the male species nurses the
young. The statement would seem
almost incredible if the fact had not
been demonstrated by American nat
uralists. Quite naturally the question
arises: How came that rabbit to have
those broad feet. SO unlike those of
the common rabbit! Could successive
generations of common rabbits, by
running for thousands Of years, have
developed those natural ''snow-
shoes!"

EARTH CURRENTS.

The action of the currents Of
electricity that pass around the earth
may be conveniently exhibited to a
large audience by the following are
rangement. devised by Professor w.
LIE Roy Broun: A rectangular frame
OF light poplar wood is suspended
horizontally by wires attached to the
frame Of a hydrostatic balance. its
longer sides in the magnetic east and
west line, and at right angles with
the beam of the balance. About the
perimeter of the frame are previously
wrapped number of coils of insula-
ted copper wire, each extremity of
the wire being made to terminate
near the center of one OF the shorter
sides; it is there passed through the
wood, fastened. and cut of about 8
pentlmenterS from the frame. The
index of the balance being brought
to zero point, the ends of the short
terminal wires are immersed in two
mercury cups for electrical connection.
when the battery current is sent
round the rectangle from east to
west on the northern side. and from
west to east on the southern. the
northern side is attracted and the
southern is repealed, and the cores.
ponding detection of the balance
renders this plainly visible. When
the current is reversed. the DETECTION
is IN the opposite direction. BY
breaking and closing the circuit at
proper intervals, to augment the
oscillations. Preseason BrOun easily
made the large frame oscillate through
an. arc OF 50. When the sides of the
rectangle were placed n. E. and S.
W. the current produced no sensible
effect.
