ARCHITECTURE,

The tallest stone tower is the Washing
ton monument at Washington, 555 feet.
The largest stone arch is the Union arch
of the Washington aqueduct, 22O feet broad
and 100 feet high.
The "Round Tower at Newport is not
castle, nor was it built by Danish explor-
ers. 1t was mill erected in the early days
Of the colony.
AT Chesterfield, England, there is
church with a very curious steeple. Which
ever way the observer looks at it it appears
to bulge out in that direction.
The largest building stones are those used
in the cyclopean walls Of Baalbec. in Syria.
Some OF these measure SO feet in length by
26 in breadth and are of unknown depth.

THE GOLD AND SILVER RATIO.

EDITOR STATE JOURNAL: = Please
explain in the Journal what is meant
by the gold and silver ratio. Many
persons inquire what the ratio of Is
to | means, and how change of IL
to or 20 to / will affect silver. An
explanation may help the cause we
are fighting for. Yours truly,
C.. H.
The coinage laws OF the United
States provide that the standard dol
larshall consist of 412l5 grains of STAN
dard silver, and the gold dollar shall
consist OF % S-l0th grains of stand
ard gold. Standard silver and gold
consists of nine parts pure silver or
gold, as the case may be, and one
part alloy. The silver dollar, there
fore, consists Of 37114 grains OF pure
silver and one tenth that number OF
grains of alloy. That makes one
grain Of gold worth, for coinage pur-
poses, 1898 grains of silver, which is
the present ratio. Practically it is
IS to /, at which ratio silver, when
coined into standard dollars, is worth
81 1920 per ounce. The weight OF
the silver dollar is now sixteen times
that of the gold dollar. If the ratio
is changed to IL to I, the silver dol
lar will be seventeen times as heavy
us the gold dollar, and the coinage
value of silver, now 81 20 per ounce,
would be reduced, emitting fractions,
to 81 81 per ounce. At Is to / the
value of silver would be 81 IA per
ounce, and at 20 to |, 81 03 erounce.
At the ratio of 20 to l the silver dol
lar would contain AGA 40 grains of
pure silver or SIC grains Of standard
silver, that is silver nine tenths fine,
and be twenty times the weight of
the gold dollar, and silver, when
coined, would be worth 81 03 per
ounce, or over 26 cents per ounce less
than its present value.
In Europe the ratio is 151s grains
OF silver to | grain of gold, which
makes the coinage value of silver
greater than it is in the United States.
At go to the coinage value of silver
is reduced over 25 per cent and the
purchasing power of gold proportion
ately increased.-Reno Journal.

Difficulties Which Foreigners Have with
Certain Combinations.

For making the and the tongue
has to be partially applied to por-
tion of the palate next the teeth.
Not only, however, must the contact
be incomplete. but its place is in
definite. maybe half an inch further
back. To make sh and I'll the con-
tact has to be made not with the tip,
but with the upper surface of the
tongue. and must be an incomplete
contact. Though for making the
liquids the tip of the tongue and the
sides of the tongue are used, yet the
requisite is not any exact adjustment
of the tip, but an imperfect contact
with the palate.
For the tn the tIpls used along with
the edges of tho tongue, but no per-
feet adjustment is required. either to
the edges of the teeth or to the
junction of the teeth with the palate.
where the sound may equally well be
made. Though for the t and d com
plcte contact of tip and edges of the
tongue with the palate is rcxuircd,
vet the place of contact is not
definite. and the tip takes no more
important share in the action than
the sides.
Any one who observes the move
ments of his tongue in speaking,
writes Herbert Spencer in the Con-
temporary Review, will find that
there occur no cases in which the
adjustments must have an exactness
corresponding to the extreme power
of discrimination which the tip pos
sesses; for speech this endowment is
useless. Even were it useful 1t could
not be shown that it has been devel-
oped by survival of the fttcst; for
tt ough perfect articulation is useful,
yet imperfect articulation has rarely
such an effect as to impede man in
the maintenance OF his life. If he is
good workman, Germans inter-
changes of BIS and ps does not disad-
vantage him.
A Frenchman who, in place of the
sound of tn always makes the sound
of succeeds as teacher of music
or dancing no less than il he
achieved the English pronunciation.
Nay, even such an imperfection OF
speech as that which arises from
cleft palate does not prevent a man
from getting on if he is capable.
True, it may go against him as can
didGte for parliament, or as an cora
tor" OF the unemployed. But in the
struggle for life no is not hlndered
by the effect TO the extent of being
less able to maintain himself and his
offspring.
