MANY QUEER COINS.
A Chicagoan n Has a Valuable CoIIec-
ton of Old Pieces of Money.


Chicago News.
Probably the most unique collection of old
coins in the United States is in the possession
avenue. Ravenswood.
He has over 100 specimens, each of which
is inclosed In an envelope, on which is writ
ten the history Of the king or queen during
whose reign the coin was minted. DR.. Riyen-
burgh Is an enthusiastic numismatist and
has been collecting rare pieces Of money for
twenty-eight years. In his queer collection
he has money that was minted during the
reigns Of the twenty Caesars. beginning with
Julius Caesar, who reigned B. c. 100 to "A.
and going down to the time Christ was born.
The picture Of each Caesar Is imprinted on
the coin Of his reign, and although the
money Is worn 1t can plainly be seen that
excellent stamping was done In ancient days.
The money is very rough and most of the
coins have ragged edges, showing that the
coins were pounded into shape by hand.
Money from almost every country is in Dr.
Rivenburgh's possession, and he values his
collection dearly. The Egyptian coin holds
the chief place from a point Of antiquity.
The one he values most is the one minted
at the time King Ethbaal, Of Sidon, reigned.
The history on the envelope gives the date
of his reign as B. G. $40 to SoS. The coin
is the Oldest one in his collection
Dr. Rivenburgh also has a coin that was in
circulation during the time Of Alexander
the Great. One Of the first pennies minted
by the United States government, and coin
used at the time Of Tiglathpileser, an As
syrian monarch, who reigned B. &. TAT to
$50, are also in his possession. The oldest
looking piece Of money he has is the cent
which was issued by Queen Berenice The
edge Is cut SO as to leave sharp points, re-
sembiing the teeth of a saw. Some Of the
coins are oblong. with pictures of animals
scattered over them, while others are as
thin as a sheet Of paper and perfectly plain,
except for a few Greek letters.

unusual manner said DR.. Rivenburgh. "a

refused to accept 1t. He then gave me the

pertinent was tried. But, alas! the Swiss
workmen soon found that no regular wages
could pay him for his loss of liberty. To be
on hand when the whistles blew in the morn
ing, to have his stated hour for dinner and
his fixed hour for quitting at night-these re-
strictions he could not stand long. Formerly
he had worked when he felt like it and
stopped when it pleased him, and when he
was paid for one job he took his time to
begin the next, generally waiting until his
funds ran low. The factory plan did not work
for long. and the idle building now bears
silent testimony to the Swiss love for inde-
pendence, which Is as much factor in pres
ent life as it has been in past history.

In no country in the world is unequal popu-
latlon SO powerfully demonstrated as in fine
United States. In the congested East Side
district of New York city thousands of peo-
PIE are crowded into space hardly suffi-
clent for SO many hundreds. A mere garrett
room in many instances, answers as the home
for whole family, and all the unfortunate
oenizens OF the community are literally N
need OF breathing space. Down in Texas,
three days railroad journey from the scene
Just described, one may ride mile after mile
without seeing human habitation, and that,
too, in many cases, through fertile lands that
need but the touch Of human Industry to
make them yield rich abundance of iife's
necessities. Texas Is not the only state that
furnishes the opposite side to the wretched
East side picture. There are Nebraska Mon
tana, Nevada, Arlzona-all more or less rich
IN natural resources and only waiting for the
nand OF the master, man, to turn them to
account. But, while America leads the world
In this unequal population, it Is not the only
country that is thus affected.
1T seems strange to think that in one sin
gle town there should be more people Than
In an entire continent. Yet such is the case
Australia has a population of a little over
S,00o.O0O, which falls short of that Of the
people OF London we add those of Paris anS
canton, we get number equal to that which
represents the population of Australia and
Canaoa combined: This can be set down in

Paris 1850. 2, 400 600 Australia q 600 OOO
Canton .... j, &c., 900 -
49, :. 5000, 1000
Here we have three cities whose combined
population exceeds that which is spread over
an area nearly twice the size Of Europe.
Again, II we compare the little Kingdom of
Belgium with the Dominion Of Canada, a re-
markable contrast Is noticeable:
ton, 100000.
Canada-Area, s,3s5.647 square miles; pop
ulation, 5000, 900.
From this it will be seen that Canada. al
though nearly 300 times the size of Belgium.
contains considerably smaller population.
To take another contrast: The vast tract
OF land comprising Western Australia which
occupies an area Of over 1000, 600 square miles,
contains $4,000 people. while the inhabitants
Of the little island of Hongkong, which covers
an area Of 80 square miles, being only ten
miles long and three broad number 200 900:
that Is to say, Western Australia although
more than thirty times the size of Hongkong.
contains one quarter the number of inhab-
itants.
