The oldest bank notes are the "aying
money" or convenient money" first issued
In China eG97 B. c. Originally these notes
werc issued by the treasury, but experience
dictated n change to tho banks under govern
ment instruction and control. The early
Chinese "greenbacks" were in all essentials
similar to tho modern bank notes, bearing
tho name Of the bank, date Of issue, the num-
ber of tho note, the signature of tho official
using it. indications of its value in figures, in
words and in the pictorial representation in
coins or heaps of coins equal in amount to its
face value, and notice of the pains and
penalties following counterfeiting. Over and
above all was laconic exhortnton to il,-
dustry nntl thrift: Produce all you can;

WHEHE THE rATTERAS LIGHTHOUSE is TO BE,
The difficulties at first view seem insur-
mountable. The shoal, rather reef is COW
cred by some twenty five feet of water; its
surface is composed of fine gray sand and
broken shells. md the current sweeping over
it is usually about four knots an hour. Tic
whole vicinity is probably the mos, dangerous
on the Atlantic coast. Gules from the east are
frequent and enormous losses OF life and
property occur there almost every year.
After receiving many petitions from ner
chants and masters OF vessels in the coasting
trade the board, ten years ngo, placed three
whistling buoys on the shoals, noored by
heavy chains; but they were swept away. 4
lightship was next suggested, but the scheme
was shown to be impracticable. And now
engineers and contractors must decide
whether any lighthouse can be so firmly con.
structel as to stand the oceans fury in such
q place.
There is much in history to encourage the
belief that it can be done The famous Eddy
stone lighthouse vas constructed by the once
greatly celebrated John Smeatou, against the
verdict OF almost every other engineer in the
United Kingdom, and yet at the end Of one
hundred and thirty-one years it still stands
to warn the mariner off the deadly reef on
the coast Of Cornwall. Even now Smeaton's
narrative of the construction, despite the
science in it, is fascinating as romance. AT
first view one would say no place in the world
presented greater obstacles; for, though the
tower on which the burner stands is sixty
eight feet high the sea frequently dashes over
the light and has more than once broken the
strong plate glass, Even in the mildest
weather only the most skillful boatmen can
row between the lighthouse and the shore.
The material is Portland stone, and the
foundations are iutricatey dovetailed into
the rocks OF the reef. The structure was be-
gun in 1876 and completed in 1885, and 20
great an achievement did it then seem to the
English that it was celebrated in song and
story, and many popular tales are founded
on the lives of its inmates.
Another interesting ighthouse--interesting
as overcoming all exactly different set of con-
ditions-is that at Alligator Reef. on the

tory, and yet it is perfectly natural; for 81,
soon as man began to sail the practice of burn
ing beacon lights doubtless began, and from
an occasional light in bad weather the step
was natural to the erection OF permanent
light Oh an elevated structure The early
Romans seem to have been somewhat timi1
about the water, and as late as the time of
st. Paul their ships had to beat their way
along from headland to headland, taking
chances of missing the dangerous places. The
Greeks, however, vera moro venturesome
and the Phcenicians and their Carthaginian
descendants still more so. The Oldest writ
ings refer to lights on headlands to guide or
warn the mariner.
In time, however, the Mediterranean sea
became u Roman lake-the name means Yin
the middle Of the earth"-and lighthouses
multiplied SO rapidly that it is said one might
sail from the Pillars of Hercules along either
coast and never be out OF sight of one. The
Roman Pharos was ordinarily conical tower
OF very solid masonry and extremely plain;
but some were elaborately built and richly
ornamented. Most famous among the early
lighthouses was that constructed at ALEX
andria by order of Ptolemy Philadelphus,
some 800 years B. c., and on its front was
perpetrated one Of the grandest practical
jokes OF ancient history.
1t was a tall tower, built Of white marble,
and cost 500 talents, or, in our money, about
$50, 900 The architect was Sostrasus, but
as the king ordered the work done be wanted
the credit, and, therefore, ordered to be
placed on the tower the Inscription, King
Ptolemy to the gods, the saviors, for the
benefit OF sailors" Sostratus set his wits to
work. aud invented mortar which had all
the appearance and polish Of solid marble,
