TO SUBSCRIBERS.

It takes lots of money to bny q
power press and the new macliin-
cry we need. A few responded
to our call of paying their SUBJ
scription last week, but nothing
like the number that should.
There is nearly $1,000 due the
office OH subscriptions alone and
that sum would come handler Just
at present than any other time in
the twenty-five years exis.ance of
TmE COURIER. Come in and pay
some. Even a year in advance
would be very acceptable.
You can easily figure what is
due If the name on the margin is
"Johm Smith July 49," that
means that Mr.. Smith has paid to
July, '93, and owes for seventeen
months, taking it up to December
l, 1894. TmE COURIER is 124
cents a month and 12a x II equals
$2.13. Just figure what you owe
and then come in and pay it.
What you owe may only pay for a
cog in the press, but the money ID
needed as badly as the cog may b.
to make the press complete.

The Coating ofIronclads.

Nobody is foolish enough to pretend that we can coat our ironclads external ly with sealskin or with porpoise hide, and undoubtedly we are at great dis advantage as compared with nature and her living forms Very possibly the ultimate solution of this question may be found in the application of some new material altogether to the external coat. ing of our vessels. Compressed paper, and compressed rance fiber, which are now increasingly employed in America for railway wheels and steam pipes, would seem promising materials for the purpose. They admit of being mold ed externally into any minute grooves or tiny overlapping plates, like the scales of fish. -...- ..-..
 Little or no extra expense will there by be incurred, as an enormous hy. draulic pressure, capable of forming any required surface, is already em- ployed in the regular course of manu- facture. Or they can just as easily be nodded into rough shagreen, which In form can be made a facsimile pro- duotion of the skin of the shark. And by their tough and strong retentive structure they would effectually pro tect tho steel, or real skin of the vessel, from corros,on by the salt water. But all this is mere conjecture. Any such suggestions which any man can pro. pound will bo nothing more than con- lecture, so long as we are content to re- main in our present deplorable dark ness and ignorance of the real govern ing conditions of the problem.

Tartans, BareIeRs, Highlanders.

The first reference to highland cos tune occurs in the Saga of Magnus Bare foot, king of Norway l093-1l03, writ ten by Snolro Sturleson, who was reared with the children of that monarch's E daughter. Here it is stated that Mag nus and his men on their return from marauding expedition to the west O. Scotland brought with them 8 great deal of the habits and fashions of cloth ing of these western parts. They went about tho streets with bare legs and ha6 short kirtles and overcloaks, and there fore his men called him Magnus Bare foot or Bareleg."
 In tho thirteenth century we seem t. have something iko 0 first reference t. actual tartans in the statutes of the church of Aberdeen, which provide that Tall ecclesiastfos are to be suitably ap pareled, avoiding red, green and striped clothing, and their garments shall not be shorter than the middle of the leg l" But it should be noticed that the word tartar" which occurs in the fifteenth century, in the accounts of the lord high treasurer of Scotland, and which was re garded by both Borthwick and Pinker. ton as meaning tartan, really indi. cates, as pointed out by Dr. Dickson, a fabric of eastern origin, frequently variant" or shot, the warp and wool being of contrasting colors, We find however, a true reference to tartan in the same accounts in the following cen tury, for in August, 1888, there appears an entry for ''iij. elnis of Heland tar tame to be hoiss to the Kingis grace, " these "hoiss'' UT trews being evidently intended to be worn with Jane schort Heland colt" accounted for under the same date.

Roman Coins Found in Mashonaland.

Roman coins have been discovered in King Solomon's. mines A Mashona na- tive, grubbing about near the famous Zimbabwe ruins, came upon eight coins, all in fair state of preservation, which are undoubtedly Roman. One of the coins bears the legend "Constantius Ces. How on earth did they get there9 There are plenty of theories as to who those ancient gold seekers were who left the massive circular walls and solid conical towers, tho temple for tresses of Mashonaland. In fact, every man is at liberty 10 make his own theo- ry, but nobody has made one yet which could comfortably bring in Roman coins and Constantius Cas. Perhaps Mir.
 Theodore Bent dropped them on his re- cent excursion. Roman coins are the sort of thing an antiquarian might carry about with him, and while jolting about in Mashonalnd man might drop any thing. g.-Westminster Guzette.
