LoND0N's WATER SUPPLY,

In London, the largest city in the
world, the water is furnished by com.
panies and is charged for by the
quantity. No one has a free faucet
or can. afford to waste his water.
Every family bargains for as many
gallons per diem as it needs, and this
amount is placed in tanks. Then
the water is shut off. II the family
uses it up by noon, it gets no more
until tae next day unless it can bor-
row Of its neighbor. There is no
waste. The water is all measured and
paid for. With three or four times
our population London does not use
one third as much water as Chicago
does, simply because the water is not
wasted.
In Chicago the city furnishes the
water, and every one is free to do
with it what he pleases, and the result
is anarchy in water. The man on the
third story has no rights the man on
the second is bound to respect, and
the man on the first floor cheats both
of them by running water via the
sewers into the river and lake. So
long as there is disregard of human
rights by human hogs this waste will
continue, and those on the upper
stories will suffer because those on
lower stories are running water all
tday to cool their rooms or to flood
their lawns-in other words, are let.
ing millions of gallons run into the
sewers without being used at all

Queer Substitutes For Money.

The collection of coins, or, more
exactly speaking, the articles which
have passed for money in different
countries and in different ages Of the
world at the National Museum is
complete one and well repays one for
visit. The earliest American coins
are believed to have been those made
of Cortez, by permission of the Span
ish Government, and were issued
about the time Of the death of Col
umbus, which occurred in 1906. They
are OF copper, and on the one side is
representation of the "Pillars Of
Hercules"
Next in point Of time comes the
money for Bermuda which was mint
ed in England. These coins are of
copper of the value OF a shilling and
sixpence, and on one face is the pic
ture of hog hence it is known as
the hog money" The early settlers
of these islands found so many of
these animals roaming about that
they used it to mark the. coin. Only
one sixpence and two shilling pieces
of this money are believed to exist,
and both are owned in Boston. Among
the oddities of the collection is the
"knife money" of the Chinese, used
about the commencement of the
Christian era. The pieces are shap ed
something like razor, about six
inches long, are Of copper and worth
about 8 cents.
Ring money" is another curious
variety, which was used by the early
Gauls and Britons. In those days,
as there were no banks and safe de.
posit companies, it was the fashion to
carry all ones wealth upon ones
| person. The amount was wrought
into ornaments Of various designs, but
fixed standard of weight, and they
were frequently made in two or three
parts, which could be readily separat,
ed and used as change. But coins of
different metals have not been the
only articles which have been used as
money. Salt nodded into bricks of a
fixed size and weight is used in coun,
tries where this necessity of life is
hard to obtain and far more valuable
to the people than any metal, no mat
ter how precious. Tea into squares is
used very largely in Siberia, and the
price of this commodity regulates the
price OF everything else.
Tobacco was the money in the Vir.
| glnia colony, and the New Englander'
were so hard up for something to use
in exchange that corn, goldfish ant
peas served as mediums. Good leac
bullets paid many debt in Revolu
tionary times, though in number o
the colonies copper had been coined
The shells which are used as money
by the South Sea Islanders and il
parts of Africa form an important ex
hibit at the Museum, and the study o
the money of the World as represent
ed there gives an excellent idea of tn,
degree of civilization which nations
have attained.

JACK NAPOLEON.

An interesting spectator at many of
the great bicycle meets nowadays is
Jack Napoleon, the remarkably clever
bulldog owned by William F. Murphy,
the famous Brooklyn racing man.
Jack wears stovepipe hat as jauntly
and airily as Fifth Avenue { New
York swell, and, as he is doubtless
somewhat near.sighted, he is COMPEL,
ed to resort to the use of eyeglasses
when he examines the entries on the
programme or when he eagerly scans
the riders as they come sprlnting to
the tape on the last lap.
Jack is very fond of a "dry smoke,
too, for whenever ne walks along the
street or attends bicycle meet he
invariably has very English looking
brierwood pipe in his mouth. If the
sport moves MIN to utter barks of Joy
as his owner wins race, or growls of
rage if Murphy isn't in it at the finish,
the fact that he has a pipe in his
mouth doesn'. bother Jack Napoleon
at all. He barks or growls, as the
case may be, regardless Of conse-
quences and the pipe, but he never
fails to cling to the pipe.
When Jack was young and aggres.
sive, he was considerable of a fighter,
and is the hero of many a hard
fought battle in the pit, but ne has
long since retired from the arena, and
earn S five good meals day as mascot
for his master and a well.known BIZ
cycle race team. His potency as
mascot is in no way inteifered with
by the fact that he is just IS years
old. Jim Corbett once offered Muir,
ply $500 for Jack, stovepipe hat
glasses and pipe, but the Brooklyn
wheelman scorned the offer, Jack;
chum on the team is monkey nam
ed Nc Ginty, who sits on Jacks neck
and rides through the streets as proud
as Siman king.
