Mr.. Il. Cole, the American engrtver
who is at work in Europe preparing a
Gallery ofOld Masters" to appear in
the Century Magazine, has sent home
a proof of his first engraving. Mr..
Coles plan is to work in Ihe galleries
in the presence of the picture itself and
to copy the original on the block by
means Of the graver, being assisted rs
to the outlines by photograph thrown
upon the wood. He found the light
coming through the ceiling windows
weak and ditfused noticing The con
centratioL of the rays AS they passed
through his eye glass, Mr.. Cole took
the hint and had an apparatus made,
with lens of the proper size, which he
uses to illuminate the block upon
which he works The American en-.
graver, thus occupied in the Louvre,
has been an object Of great curiosity,
and he has sometimes been compelled
to prosecute his labors surrounded by
groups of spectators. The first picture
engraved is famous example OF prera
phaelite art. Comparing 1t with II
photograph of the same painting, 1t Is
found 10 be much more correct, both in
values and details. II is said to be en-
graved in firm and tree manner, with.
out the reproduction Of those accidental
Irregularities and falsifications which
the best photograph cannot escape
The January Century is again on the

The Parasites OF Money.

The FrG7ekt urter Zeitatng states that
DIR. Reinsch has found, as the result OF
q long series OF minute Investigations,
that the surface of 50-pfennig pieces
(sixpenees) which have been long in
circulation are the home and feeding
ground of minute kind of bacteria and
vegetable fungus. An extended series of
observations showed that this is the
case with the small coins of all nations,
the thin incrustation of organic matter
deposited upon their surfaces in the
course of long circulation rendering
them very suitable for this parasitical
settlement. DIR. Reinsch scraped of
some of these incrustationR, and with a
small scalpel divided them into frag-
ments, which were subsequently dis
solved in distilled water. The employ
ment of lenses of very high power
showed the bacteria and fungi distinct
ly. This is matter of no little i'm
portafce from a hygienic point of view.
1t has now been conclusively established
that bacteria form the chief agency in
the propagation of epidemic diseases
The revelation that they have chosen
domicile in the most widely circulating
medium which probably exists in the
world presents us with new factor in
the spread of infectious disease. There
is, however, remedy. Where coins
have been in circulation for number
of years, if they are washed in boil
ing weak solution of caustic potash
they will be cleansed from their or
ganic incrnstation. and so freed from
the unwelcome guests which they har-
bored. Scientific AnaerSc m.
