NATURALIZATION Mi man and his wife
go TO any foreign country and have child
born, and return to this country before he
becomes of age, would he have to be ma.
turalized before he could become a voter,
Hilltop, July Goth. G. W. NJ.
No, unless the parents when abroad re-
nounce allegiance to the United States
Government in favor of some other govern
ment. The child born abroad of American
parents, who retain their citizenship is as
much citizen of the United States as if
born ON the soil.
SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIs - Will you
please tell me what and where is Scylla,
and also what and where is Charybdis
Folsom, July 2Sth. EN-
Scylla, the modern name of which is
Sciglio tSkeel.yol. is a rocky cape 200 feet
high. projecting from the coast of Italy into
the Strait of Messina and Charybdis (ka-
r16-dls), the modern name of which is Gallo
faro (gs-lot dhrol is a whirlpool northwest
OF Scylla on the opposite side of the strait,
just outside OF the harbor of Messina-the
distance from one to the other being about
mile and a quarter. The ancients con-
highly dangerous, but modern navigators
find it comparatively easy to avoid Scylla
without falling into Charybdis.
BANK OF ENGLAND. G. NJ, Visalia.
In reply it may be stated that in the Bank
of England TO fewer than sixty folio vol,
umes or ledgers are daily filled with writ
ing in keeping the accounts. To produce
these sixty volumes the paper having pre-.
viously been manufactured elsewhere.
eight men, three steam presses and two
hand presses are constantly kept going
within the bank. In the copper plate
printing department 2S, 900 bank notes ara
thrown off daily, and so accurately is the
number indicated by machinery that to
purloin single note without detection is
almost an impossibility.
TRIPLETs Elm, Biegs, Butte County.
With regard to the birth of =" triplets " we
cannot say. There is no general record
kept of which we have any knowledge.
We may say, however, that local New
England papers claim that Kentucky must
yield to Massachusetts, in the matter of
triplets. Nantucket is the birthplace of
James and Francis Lawrence and Mary,
their sister, the widow of the late Edward
Paddock, triplets, all living. and now more
than 20 years old. They have sister liv-
ing in Providence, r. l., and two brothers
in California, George A. and Frederic W.,
all their seniors Their father, just before
their birth, sailed for Virginia, and was
never afterwards heard from.

has just shown me an old copy of the
UNION, dated May 20, 1871, in which is
given an account of the Cease OF Summer
field, the Man with Secret" Can You
give me any further information in regard
to the matter? Are the strange and re-
markable details, as given in the manu-
script of Parker, true and the facts in the
case, or is the whole thing simply gigantic
hoax? Any information you can give in
regard to it Will be thankfully received.

obhge? w. II. EBERLE

and Cloverdale, Sonoma county, and
Ukiah, Mendocino county, thence to Cato,
and thence by the grade finished in 1861
direct to Humboldt Bay and to Eureka,

To NEUMIsMATICs. Modesto The ar
ticle you referred to simply stated that
there are many collectors of old coins in
the United States who make neumismatical
study the chief object of their life. There
is paper, called the Neumismotic Journal,
published in Boston or New York, on the
subject. Directors of museums, anti
quarians and keepers of cabinets in large
cities, can give you detailed information,
and it would be we'll to address some such.
Old coins, if rare, have a high value in
many cases.
