Amazon-from Siberia or the Cape Of
Good Hope. / receive them on leaves

the house until the caterpillar crawls
out. Then ] determine, il can, to
what species the little fellow belongs
and what he likes to eat, and put him
on plant under one of the cages,
where he feeds and grows, meanwhile
changing his skin two or three times.
When he shows signs of having had
enough of the world ] put him into
q box with two feet of earth in the
bottom. He burrows in and is seen
no more until he is ready to assume
the gay life OF the butterfly. This
may be q few weeks later, or, as is
the case with some species, it may be
two or three years. When he does
come up he gets few hours of life as
a butterfly, and then sniff of chloro-
form, which makes him ready for the
collection.
Chow large is the collection?
Well, l suppose there are between
10000 and 10000 specimens, includ-
ing the duplicates. Let me show

OF cases. They begin with the floor
and end with the ceiling. Every
climate that will produce flower
which the gorgeous creatures eat has
paid tribute to this collection. There
are butterflies whose wings measure
nearly foot across. There are tiny
ones not half so large as a tep-cent
piece. There are the magnificent
Asiatic group in velvets of the most
brilliant black, crimson, green and
orange. The snow butterflies are
here, far from the mountain tops,
where they fit over perpetual snow.
There nre the Satrus Argentina from
Chill, whose wings look like bits of

GREAT FIRE IN PANAMA.

The event of the past fortnight has been
the disastrous fire which occurred at Panama
on Wednesday the 18th ult. wiping out one
sixth Of the entire city and causing damage
to the extent of So, 600, 900 or thereabout.
The origin of the fire is as follows: A
discarded mistress placed some lighted tapers
before her favourite Saint in view of placat-
ing the truant lover and Of his returning to
her. One of these tapers having burnt to the
socket, set fire to some contiguous hangings
and as a matter Of course, the tenement.

less than 8 hours. 800 buildings, includ-.

them of real value, were the prey Of the
flames, rendering more than 900 persons
hOuseless. Two persons are reported as
having lost their lives during the confagra-
ton and several Including bomberos)

stances and owing many persons but
wishing to secure a continuance of credit
from one creditor, gives this latter a right of
mortgage on all what be now possesses or what
he might possess, and if 6 weeks elapse, that
mortgage stands good, no one questions it,
even if the affairs should afterwards come
in the Dealing Court; no one cares to go
there to enquire or to make any objections, if
any could be made. But the fact Of the
matter is that the class known as simple cred
it0rs, get nothing whatever. The man who
gives such a mortgage in all what
he owns or may become owner of
is gene rally thoroughly bankrupt before
he gives that mortgage; still, he
has the right to continue and to see what
he can do, and he carries on his business
by trusting from the one to pay the others.

IN st. Thomas no one has asked to have that

however- asked the Chief Justice, the first

COINS FINANCIAL SCHOOL.
AUGUST ID, 1894

From Coins Financial School we
take some aphorisms, and items of in
terest to all, that are worth remem-
boring:
Cali money is a medium of ex-
change, but primary money only is
the measure of value"
ain money there must be unit.
In arithmetic as you are aware, you
are taught what unit is. Thus, 1
MAKE on the blackboard the figure 1.
That in arithmetic is unit. All
counting5 are sums or multiples of
that unit. A unit therefore, in math-
ematics, was necessity as basis to
start from. In making money it
equally is necessary to establish a
unit. The constitution gave the pow
to congress to coin money and regu-
late the value thereof. Congress
adopted silver and gold as money. 1t
then proceeded to fix the unit. That
is, it then fixed what should consti-
tute one dollar, the same thing that
the mathematician did when he fixed
one figure from which all others should
be counted. Congress- fixed the
monetary unit to consist of 81 "a grains
of pure silver, and provided for GER
tain amount of alloy to be mixed with
~ RI Crixyn ~ hnclrooo
durability. This was done in 1892
in the days of Washington and Jeffer-
son and our Revolutionary Fathers,
who had hatred of England, and an
intimate knowledge of her designs
upon this country.
"They had fought eight long years
for their independence from British
domination i'll this country, and when
they had seen the last red-coat leave
our shores, they settled down to es-
tablish permanent government, and
among the first things they did was to
make Bin grains of pure silver the
unit of values. That much silver was
to constisute dollar. And each dol
lar was unit. They then provided
for all other money to be counted
from this unit, or silver dollar.
Herce dimes, quarters and half dol
lars were exact fractional parts of the
dollar so fixed.
"Gold was made money, but it's value
was counted from this silver unit or
dollar. The ratio between silver and
gold was fixed at Is to ] and after
ward to 16 to l. So that in making
gold coins their relative weight was
regulated by this rating.
"This continued to be the law I'D to
1873. During that long period, the
unit of values was never changed and
always contained 371I grains of pure
silver. While that was the law it
would have been impossible for any
one TO say that the silver in q dollar
was worth only Al cents. or any other
number of cents less than 100 cents,
or, a dollar. For it was itself the unit
OF values. While that was the law it
would have been as absurd to say that
the silver i'll dollar was only worth
Al cents, as it would be to say that
this figure l which l have on the
blackboard is only AZ 100 of one.
when the ratio was changed from
ID 70 l to 16 to l, the silver dollar or
unit was left the same size, and the
goid dollar was made smaller. The
latter was changed from 24.7 grains to
z5'Z grains pure gold, thus mekinp il
smaller. This occurred in 1884. The
silver dollar still remained the unit,
and so continued until 1872
