after the engagement We had chosen
our position near spring, but this
gave out early in the day, and the
men were forced to that old expedient
for allaying thirst-chewing bullet.

Let the MARINES Learn to swim.

The seeming strange suggestion is
made and strongly pressed in England
that the men who man the navy
should be taught how to swim. Or
binary sailors are instructed and ex-
pected TO qualify in swimming, but
the marines, fircmen and engineers are
not, and it is fact that large por-
ton of the latter large body of men
who serve on warships cannot swim.
1t is said that many more men would
have been saved from the Victoria
but for this fact; also that many
sailors who were good swimmers were
undoubtedly dragged down by the
men who were not The matter has
been taken up in parliament, and it is
probable that swimming will be in
sisted on as part of the training OF
every man serving aboard ship

Culinary Competitions in Russian Army.

Culinary Competitions In Russian Army.
In the Russian army culinary com
petition takes place every wear in con-
nection with the regiments of guards
The object is to keep the military
cooks up to their duties. a special
commission is appointed by the officer
in command, and prizes are given to
the successful competitors. The com
petition was established by Prince
pctrovitch of Oldcnburg, at the time
he was in command of the guards.
The competition this year took place
at krasnoe- Selo under the orders of
the Grand Duke Vladimir. Arriving
in an open carriage the grand duke
saluted the cooks and passing along
the line of camp kitchens he entered
the mess room of the Nicholas regi-
mcnt, and the saucepans with their
contents were Immediately brought
in. Each of these saucepans was num-
bered, but in such way that the
tasters could not tell to which par
ticular regiment each one belonged.
The jury, composed of sergeant-ma-
jors, solemnly went round and tasted
the food, inscribing on a printed form
the number of points given to each
cook for the quality of his prepara-
tions. The first prize, a silver watch
and chain, was awarded to the cook
of the horse guards.

submarine boats.

Naval science seems to be going
ahead about as fast as the romancers
can get on in their imaginings. The
French, for instance. are doing with
submarine boats almost more than
their fiction writers have managed TO
get into their books. A new sub
marine boat has just been launched
and sent sculling about under water,
which contains c,ew of twelve men.
Hitherto the number of men accom-
modated in these underwater craft
has seldom il ever gone above five.
This boat is in the shape of n fish and
it carries a torpedo at its head How
it discharges the torpedo forward

ORIGIN OF PAPER MONEY.
believed to Have been First Issued b,
1tnlinn IlnnkerH EiYo I'cnturics 4 IN. :

Eclicvcd to Have Bcen First Issued by
italian Bankers Five Centuries Ago.
Paper money doeelopcd from the bills
or exchange or certificates of the
banks was probably first issued by the
Italian bankers of the fourteenth zen
fury. says the san Francisco Examiner.
Governments found it an easy WY of
obtaining money in times of necessity,
being. in effect, Il forced loan from the
people. Paper bills are promises to
pay, and when the government issues
them ill., exchange for supplies o.. scrv-
ice it has actually borrowed iust us
much from the man to whom ii paws
them. II. however. allows him to pass
this note III payment OF his debts. so in
stead of being loan from him singly
|; Is 4 loan from the whole people. The
ease with which the notes may be is
sued has led many governments into
di''nstrous experiments in time of war
or stress, the promises being issued in
such profusion that they became of no
value. The continental currency issued
during the revolution by the American
congress, and the assignats of the
French revolution may be instanccC.
Paper money depends for It's value on
the ability of the authority that issues
1t to give value for it when payment is
demanded. When the issue of the civil
war was in doubt the value of the
%rccnbaclls issued by the United States
sank To onc-thir,l their face value. due
partly To Il lack of confidence in the
government and due still more to the
certainty that payment of the notes
must be indefinitely postponed. Even
when the war closed and there was no
longer doubt of the government the
currency was deprecated fo: thirteen
years. The government was in the 20
sition of the man known to his neigh
bors as good, but slow pay" His notes
pass ut Il discount. The government
was known to be good for the amount,
and IL was certain that it would be
ready to redeem its notes some day, but
that WAS not enough for the man who
wanted to use the money right away
lie thus passed the notes ut Il discount.
The value OF paper money thus dc,
ponds at any given moment on the
promise of the government to redeem
it. If the promise will be met when the
notes are presented they pass at their
face value If there is doubt on this
point the notes must pass at discount,
greater or less according to circum-
stances. If there is no chance that they
Will ever be paid they are worth moth
ing at ALL AS the United States gov
ernmcnt has stood ready since 1879 to
redeem in gold any notes as soon as
presented, its currency passes without
question as to it's face value
