The Iron Port of the World.

Escanaba is the county seat of Delta
county, Mich. 1t lies at the foot of the
great pine forests and overlooks Little
Bay de Noquet, the head waters of Green
bay. Five years since it was practically
a village in the wilderness.
According to Mr.. Nursey's carefully
written report, capable of the fullest
verification, Escanaba is the greatest
iron port of the world. He tells us that
during the navigation season of 1890 it
shipped 3,700,000 tons of iron ore, OF
nearly double that of all the ore ports of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
combined. Its lumber output amounted
to about 120,000,000 feet, while the
freight capacity of the vessels entering
and clearing from its port exceeded
100000 tons. This compares with the
tonnages of the greatest seaports of the
world, which are: Q London, $4,000, 900;
(2) Liverpool, 14,000,OOO; (9 New York,
10000 and next comes Escanaba
with 5000, 900 tons.-Iron.

England's Early Coins.

When England was being made into
mince meat and blocks of real estate by
the Saxons and Danes silver and brass
we're in use as currency, but the Nor
mans subsequently installed the aristo-
cratic metal and left the democratic
brass to take care of itself. Gold was
first coined by Henry III, and copper
made into British coin in 1912. Tin was
used for coinage in 1880, and the national
farthing was made of this Cambrian
product, with stud of copper set in the
center. In 1890 and 1891 tin half pence
were issued in considerable quantities.
The only pure gold coins issued in En-
glish history were those of Henry Ill
Age of Steel.

Round the World in Eighty Days

The first of the new vessels of the
Canadian Pacific line, built to establish
communication between Vancouver and
Japan, has left Liverpool for Vancou-
yer, and she takes with her number
of passengers at an inclusive charge of
e120 for an allround-the-globe trip.
The vessel is magnificent specimen of
the skill of the English shipbuilder.
Her complement of passengers is full,
and these glorifed trippers are timed
to be back in England within eighty
days after their departure from Liver
pool. They will go by way of the Suez
canal and the Indian and Pacific oceans,
and will cross Canada on the Canadian
Pacific ine.-London Tit-Bits

received with smiles of increduIity, but
now it seems quite probable that not
only will the experiment be tried, but
that it will succeed, in spite of the en-
gineering difficulties that have to be
surmounted.
The government has been asked to sup
ply line for the purpose, and on the sys-
tenn used the expense will not necessarily
be at all severe, for the use of very high
potential alternating currents is the fea-
ture of the scheme as at present planned.
The alternating generator will supply a
step-up transformer, that in turn will
transmit its secondary current at an
enormously high potential along the line,
to obere-transformed by step down trans
former at Frankfort to potential prac-
ticable for an alternating motor A
series of experiments carried out recently
at Oerlikon involve the use of pressures
as high as $4,000 volts on the line.
At such potential the current trans
mitted becomes so small that the line is
a relatively small factor in the losses in
Cured, even though it be of the extreme
length proposed. Nothing can better
illustrate the characteristic advantages
of the alternating system than this
beautiful process of generating and util-
izing currents at a moderate potential
and transmitting them from station to
station at pressure so enormous that
the losses in transit become insignificant.

Greek Must Go.

The most dangerous attack on Greek
in the schools and colleges yet seen was
made the other day in England at a
meeting of the head masters of the Elton,
Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Westmin-
ster, Charter House, st. Paul's, Clifton
and other schools-one of their usual
annual or semi-annual gatherings 1t
was led, or in fact made, by Mr.. Well
don, the head master of Harrow. He
advocated the abolition of obligatory
Greek both at school and college and
the substitution of science or modern
languages, on two grounds.
The first was the need of adapting ed
ucation to individual tastes and capacity.
The second-in the interest of Greek
study itself-was that the Greek Ian
guage might be left in the hands of those
who really loved it, and could cultivate
it with success-to a sort of classical
elite, in short, who would rescue it from
its degraded condition as the bugaboo of
ounces and sluggards. There was a good
deal of discussion, pro and con, which
elected nothing very new, but Mr.. Well
don came within two votes of carrying
his resolution, this adverse majority be-
ing obtained by the adhesion of two of
the smaller schools.
We doubt if anything so ominous for
Greek has yet occurred, for the English
public schools are it's stronghold today,
and indeed England may be said to be
its main champion. 1t has never struck
such deep roots in education and general
culture on the continent or in this coun-
try.-New York Nation.

Queer Filling.

There are numbers of dentists in New
York who ought to he saving wood. /
had friend tell me about week ago of
severe pain in a tooth which he had
only recently had filed. He argued that
it could not be the tooth, because he had
only few days before sat in the den
lists chair. The dentist was unknown
to him, and had been selected because
his Office was next the place where my
friend boards. I advised him to go to a
first class dental practitioner, which he
did. Nexs day he said to me: ''Do you
know what was the matter with my
tooth? That fellow up by my boarding
house did not clean the tooth out before
he filed it. He had left pieces of cotton
in the cavity and had piled the gold in
on top of it. No wonder it ached."-
