How many collectors of coins know

thorities, half-pence in the truest
sense of the words, since they were
nothing more than minted pennies
cut directly in half! Specimens OF
these coins have been discovered fire.
1uently among the buried treasures
which from time to time have been
unearthed in Great Britain. In
Lancashire In 1870 were found a rare
lot OF coins, among which were sew
eral pennies Of the time of Alfred
and Edward divided in this way.
Similarly divided pence of the time
OF Edward the Confessor have been
found, and in speaking Of the dis
Covery, in 1888, Of a number of these
curious half-pence of the time of
William the Conqueror, and unques-

ton had evidently been in circula-
ton. In the British Museum In Lon
don are specimens Of these divided
coins issued under various monarchs
from Alfred to Henry Ill, with the
latter OF whom the custom ceased,
An eminent acheologist accounts for
the divided coins by saying that this
doubtless arose from the scarcity OF

remedied under the reign Of Edward

Mai, rbronrh pneumat,o Tubes.

The tubes are laid under ground
between the branch postofices and
the main office; they are of brass,
covered with various materials to
protect them in the ground, and in
laying them care is taken to avoid
sharp corners and curves. At the
starting point machinery Is placed,
by which air is compressed and kept
stored under a number OF pounds
pressure. The mall matter Is put
into leather boxes, which dt the In

In the receiving tubes, which are
closed with heavy doors. The com

The shorter the distance to be
traversed the less pressure need be APP

The breeder would have been
greatly puzzled If such ancestors had
produced offspring entirely unworthy
