!, NUMIsMATlCs IN CHINA.
Collections of Celestial Coins Which Go
Back 1900 Years.
philadelphia Bulletin.)


China is the paradise of the numis-
matist. The collections of cash, accord.
ing to Consul Edward Bedloe's report to
the State Department., are something
marvellous. They are small coins of
bronze, brass, copper or silver, ranging
in intrinsic value from 10th of cent to
rs cents. The Oldest of these coins on
record appeared about 2300 B. O. Over
10000 different kinds of cash are pre-
served in collections. Some are wonder
full examples of coinage, but most OF
them are clumsy and coarse. The NUM-
ismatist can work all his life, spend very
little money, and leave to posterity
thousands ST coins. All he needs to do
is to conflne his work to the collection of
cash. the small coins in brass and bronze
whose value ranges from 1-10th to 1-14th
of cent. Their workmanship varies,
but is usually very good.
Their shape today is like that Of Euro
pean coins, with the exception that
through the centre is a square hole
through which the coins are strung to-
gether like beads In the past. however
other forms were employed, including
the square, triangle, heart ellipse, shield
KEY, sword and spear. The number of
kinds are simply immense. They are re-
ferred to in the literature as far back as
| 250 B. G. "The earliest that have
heard off, says Consul Bedloe, "dates
| from the T'sin dynasty, which ruled from
| 255 to POI B. G. From that time until
| today these useful little coins have been
used by every monarch, no matter
whether he was an emperor Of the entire
country or king of one of the petty prin-
| cipalities into which from time to time,
| the Chinese Empire was broken. There
have been over 1gOO occupants of the va
rious thrones, royal and imperial. In

they may be called, there have been

A Correction.

As many people are laboring under
misapprehension in identifying the Bel
KNAPP Motor Company with the Giant
Electric Motor Company, and has been
the cause of a great amount of incon-
venience to both companies, wish to
take this opportunity to correct the err
ror and state that the management of
the Belknap Motor company is as fol-
lows: Geo. W. Brown, president and gen
eral manager; Seth L. Larrabee, clerk;
Chas. Il. Dyer, treasurer; and the direc-
tors are Geo. W. Brown. Chas. R. Dyer,
Seth L. Larrabee, E. R. Payson, FL. l..
Jones. Eben R. Dyer and VIM. 81. Scott.
The Belknap Motor Company being
the manufacturers of the Little Giant
Water Motor, and being located on the
corner of Cross and Fore streets, in the
building formerly occupied by the Giant
Electric Company, with W. II. Chapman
as electrician, and E. E. Fernald as fore
man, has, without doubt, much to do
with the case. We would refer those
who are interested to know the standing
of the Bell1nap Motor Company to E..
Russell & Co.'s mercantile agency; we
also refer to the standing of the stock
which is above it's par valne of $40 per
share. and has recently been sold at So
per share advance. The Belknap Com
pany are making extensive preparations
for their exhibit at the Worlds Column
bian Exposition, and this is the only
electrical company in this state that will
exhibit in Chicago.
1t may be interesting to know that the
Belknap Motor Company have just

ating their electric crane, which IS the

case as above stated.

The make up of the Senate committees
is not reassuring to the friends of sound
currency or effective quarantine regula-
lions. Voorhees, who heads the COM
mittee on finance is a champion Of the
free coinage of silver ard everything that
that he can do to secure the passage of
such legislation he will do. Apparently
President Cleveland's views have been
utterly disregarded in the composition
of this committee. He is in favor of
restricting the present rate of coinage
while Voorhees, is committed to the
policy of extending it to the amount of
silver bullion that may be sent to the
minis. Hills craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on immigration will give him con-
troll in degree of the quarantine regu-
lations which is not reassuring as he is
band and glove with Tammany which
insists on taking charge of all the quaran-

If anybody thinks that the disclosures
of the recent count-out will PROSTATE for
any considerable length of time any
large portion of the Democracy, he
should recall the count out of 1879. 1t
was proved then that all sorts of trick
cry had been resorted to to count out Re-
publicans fairly elected, forgery even
figuring in the list, but the next year the
Democrats came up smiling and voted
the party ticket to man. Fraud rolls
off from the average Democratic con-
science as readily as water from duck $
back.

The Argus yesterday arrived at the
point of apologizing for Warden
Harper, claiming that the probability
was that he simply made an hon
est mistake. Yet the proof is con-
elusive and overwhelming that War
den Harper never counted the vote on
the ward line revision at all, but took
the Mayor vote, deducted eight or ten
votes and declared the remainder as the
vote on the ward lines. In few days
Warden Harper will in the eyes of the
Democrats become a martyr, prosecuted
for his righteousness. Perhaps if Mayor
Ingraham cannot be coaxed to run again
Warden Harper may be selected to take
his place, and an appeal made to the
Democrats to support him on the ground
of his services to the Democracy.

however, it had measurably recovered
from its penitence, and was bracing it

Ants In Africa.

A correspondent of the London
Graphic writing from Umtali,, Africa,
says: Sir John Lubbock ought to come
and live here; he could revel in ants.
There are millions and tens of millions of
them. The ground round our huts is
riddled with deep holes, the entrance to
white ants nests. These insects are ter
ribly destructive; a leathern bag will be
eaten into holes in one night. think
everything in the country would be de-
voured by them if it were not for the
black ants. These are quite half an inch
long, and they prey on the smaller white
ants. One suddenly sees long black
line extending for thirty or forty yards
along the hospital compound. The
line moves with sharp, rustling sound,
like the crisp rustling of dried
leaves. One looks closer and finds that
the black line is an army of ants going
to storm a white ant heap. One ant
alone goes at the head of the column,
which is about eight inches wide. Or
each side run single ants, busting W
stragglers and rushing to drag sticks and
straws out of the way of the army, which
streams down into the nestit has in view
md in about ten minutes streams home
again in excellent order, each black an

Pottery and Porcelain.

There is a vast difference between
pottery and porcelain; pottery being
opaque and porcelain translucent. "Fai-
snce" is the term applied to all glazed
pottery, and biscuit" to all unglazed
pottery or porcelain. Technical terms
are troublesome and therefore will be
omitted when possible.
In China, porcelain was manufactured
before the Christian era; but the art did
not reach Europes until the sixteenth
century. Pottery had been manufactured
at least two centuries before; but, al
though constantly searching, chemists
were not able to find the necessary ma
terials for the manufacture of porcelain.
The art of glazing with salt was discov-
cred at Burslem, England, in
1880, in rather curious way.
A servant while boiling salt for
brine, in an earthen vessel, allowed the
water to boil away; the pan became red
hot, and when it was noticed was COW
cred with a beautiful glaze. News of
this discovery spread rapidly; and the
potters taking advantage of the hint, salt
glaze became common.
There are two kinds of porcelain, hard
and soft; and there are several methods
by which these may be distinguished.
The soft paste can be scratched with a
sharp knife onony part not covered with
the glaze. Ii also has somewhat soapy,
warm feeling TO the touch, and the frac-
ture has the appearance Of cream. Hard,
OF, as it is sometimes called, 'true, y
porcelain is heavier than the soft, is a
purer white, and is cold TO the touch.
When broken, the fracture looks like
alabaSter; and, az a rule the rim under
meath the plates and other pieces escape.

CHRIST's TOMB.
Discussion About the Exact Location
of the Holy Sepulchre.

Some discussion has arlstn among the
learned Palestine topographers and bib
lical psychologists with regard to the
ancient tomb outside the Damascus gate
to Jerusalem, believed by the late Gen
eral Gordon to be the actual sepulchre of
Christ, which it is now proposed to pur-
chase and preserve as an object of Chris
tian veneration, says one of our English
exchanges. There are weighty opinions
on both sides of the controversy. Major
G. r. Condor r. E., whose labors
and records of the English
Palestine fund exploration survey
render him a high authority, considers
"that there is not only no reason TO sup
pose that this tomb is the real site of the
tomb of Christ but there is every reason
to suppose that it did not exist in the
time of our Lord at ALL" Rev. Canon H..
b. Tristram, +. r. S., whose reputation
stands as high as an authority regarding
the geographical antiquities of Palestine,
will not positively assert that this tomb
must be the holy sepulchre, but thinks
that its site answers the required condi-
tons as no other site does; and there is
no proof of Major Condor's opinion that
this tomb is of the ninth century after
Christ.
A committee of which Mr. Henry A.
Campbell and John Murray are lead
ing promoters, has appealed to an Eng
fish public for subscriptions to the
amount Of $4,000 to buy the inclosed
piece Of land-about four acres-now for
sale at the price of e40o0, to lay it out
as a garden, to put the tomb in order
and to provide for its proper care and
keeping The Archbishop of Canterbury,
several bishops and many influential
clergymen have expressed their cordial
approval The tomb is distant only $50
feet from the summit of the knoll or little
hill called Ell Heydhimiyeh, Jeremiah's
Grotto, the shape of which hillock has a
striking resemblance to the form of a
skull; the "Golgotha," or Calvary
which Canon Tristram, in 1858, sug-
gested as the probable site of the cruel
fixion, arguing chiefly from its position
at just outside the gate of Samaria, the
only direct exit from the Roman govern
or's court. the castle of Antonine.
The only tomb yet found in the vicinity
which can be deemed as old as the date
of the crucifxion is situated rather far
ther west and has now become the prop
erty of the Dominican frars.
