Monetary Inconvenience.

One of the inconveniepces to travel. CTS in the countries of the Latin mone- tary union is the constant withdrawal of the issues of different hints and the passing of the coins. no longer current. upon strangers. The French govern ment, to reduce the evil, lately pub lished placard with reproductions of the coins that are out of date. Trey are no fewer than thirty-seven in num- Der. and include those bearing the baby face of little King Alfonso. with the date 1894; the dollar of Emperor Maxi milan, the five-franc piece of Joachim Murat, 1913; some of the Swiss coins and all the papal coins. A supplement shows coins still current, and includes those of the first Napoleon, among them one of 1872, representing him as first consul, and one of 1913, with ''Napo- leon. Empereur," on one side. and Re publique Franchise on the other.-N. " Sun.

Weights of Metals.

Cast iron weights 444 pounds to the cubic foot, and 1-inch square bar will sustain weight of 16,5O0 pounds; bronze, weight 5a5 pounds. tenacity 36, GOO; wrought iron, weight 4s0, tenacity 50.oOO: hard struck" steel, weight 490. tenacity 7s,O00; aluminium, weight i6s, tenacity a6,OO0 We are ac- customed to think of metals as being stronger than wood, and so they are, generally speaking, if only pieces of .he same size be tested. When equal weights of the two materials be com pared. it is then found that several varieties of wood are stronger than ordinary steel. A bar of pine just as heavy as bar of steel an inch square will hold up 12J,0oO pounds; the best ash l75,00o pounds, and some hemloclk 200. GOO pounds Wood is bulky. 1t oc- cupies 10 or F times the space of steel. The best castings made for the United States navy have a tenacity of 65. 900 to 75, 900 pounds to the square inch. By solidifying such castings under great pressure. tensile strength of so.000 to I5O, 900 pounds may be obtained Rail- way Review.

 On, on they came, each eager to get ahead of the other, and lessening the distance between us and them at a rapid rate.

 had good aim on the other, and as Neds shot made the pack slacken their speed luckily sent a ball through its head, and dropped it its tracks.
 This reception quite cooled the cour- age of the nearest wolves, and they cut their race short and began spreading out around us. Those farther back slackened speed, which showed their doubt and hesitation. We would have thought the battle won had not the little one, who seemed to be the leader, come bounding on as fast as ever. pass ing those ahead, one after the other. and inspiring them with fresh courage. We knew not what this might lead to, and reserved our buckshot for the oc- casion. It looked serious for awhile, and we were afraid this second attack would prove a harder one to repel than the first We had not much time to consult on the matter. but we decided that Ned, at the proper moment, was to make sure of the little one, and, inn mediately after, l was to send my charge into the foremost ones follow ing.
 On the leader madly rushed to point within thirty yards of us, then-with wolf cunning suddenly to one side. This brought the others to halt, and relieved us of any fear we had, for we saw their attack was mere buster. But if they were ready for barley we were not. We sent our buckshot into the thickest of the crowd and knocked the little one over, which sent the rest flying away. either to the woods or back to the deer, and left us masters of the field.-St Nicholas
