Sixteen to ono simply means
the bnsis OF valuation fixed by
law between gold and silver, six
teen ounces or grains OF silver
eqnaling in value ono ounce or
grain of gold.
Previous To 1879 silver was re-
ceivcd by tho United States minis
and coined on the ii to basis
and tho hntion was prosperous.
During that year silver was de-
monetized by u bill which simply
dropped tho words "Silvcr Dol
lar" from the coinage law. 1t
was some time after the bill was
signed before it was known that
II Ind killed the coinage of sill
yer. President Grant claimed
that he signed tho measure with
out noticing tho omission of tho
silver Dollar" Afterward Con-
gresham Bland introduced n
bill to remonetize silver but IL
was vetoed by President Hayes.
Finally in 1870 the sherman net
directing the government to pur-
chase l,5O,000 ounces per month
was passed. This net wns re-
pcalcd IN 1893 and silver again
dcmonetized. Previous to this
silver was also killed in India.
Now the friends of the white
metal simply ask that silver be
restored to its old place.

Chancellor Livingston's Library.

To the young people the chief attrac
tion of Clermont, after its owner and
his wonderful tales, was the library. In
Mrs. Lambs fHistory of New York. it
is stated that this consisted ceynore than
1000 volumes and was theH held to lie
the finest private library in the state.
Mrs. Smith and her brother made cat
alogue of it for their cousin and "found
it to number more than 5000 books (not
volumes), besides quantities of PAM
phlets -
The room was a grand one, lofty and
we'll lighted, it's broad windows over
looking the Hudson and the cloud CAP
ped Catskills beyond it, and all the wall
spaces filled from floor to ceiling with
the best books of the day, not only in
English and the learned languages, but
in Spanish and French, both of which
tongues the chancellor read and spoke
with ease, most unusual accomplish
ment for an American of his day. III

of French was SO perfect that have seen

Bank Notes In q Book.

Two brothers, who recently died in
Paris, once well known as the famous
team Of singers Lionnet, who, with
their duets, charmed many audiences,
ended their days only a few weeks apart
in miserable circumstances and it was
stated that they had actually starved.
This would not have been necessary, as
there was found among their effects
music book between the pages of which
were hidden three bills of 500 francs
each. The poor brothers had never
known about the existence of this money
in their possession. A very wealthy
Englishman, at whose house they once
had sung, sent them this book, a fine
edition of the songs of Nadand, as a
present, and SO as not to hurt their feel
ings, placed three 500 franc notes be-
tween the leaves of the book. 1t is evil
dent that the brothers Lionnet must
have been very much displeased with
the present of the book, for the package
IL which it had come bore evidence of
having never even been opened, prob
ably because they expected something
more su bstantial than book of songs.

a Gigantic Revolving Tower.

France started the ball with the Eiffel
tower. England endeavored to go one
better with the Wembley, which is still
in an embryo stage aGd appears likely
to remain SO, while our American couS
ms struck bright and novel idea in
the Ferris revolving wheel, which was
afterward introduced into England, and
last season went merrily round, except
when it occasionally stopped and re-
quired more or less coaxing ere it re-
sumed it's "daily round AS fact, our
readers will remember it once had "a
night OUT Oh its own account. Now
French ingenuity is once again to the
fore, and shis time the idea is to con-
struct lofty building that will spin
slowly, like q majestic top. The festive
Parisians are, it is stated, to have this
novelty in their midst, the site chosen
being near the summit Of Montmartre,
the highest poiLt within the fortifica-
tons of the gay city. The conception of
this big revolving tower (about half the
height of the EiffeD is credited to M.
Devic. The motive power for turning
the structure, n complete revolution of
which would occupy about two minutes,
would be hydraulic force. The upper
part of the building would be occupied
by public ballroom, in which dancing
would take place from l. p. N. to 2 a.
m., while below this it is intended to
construct an artificial ice skating rink.

His Fatal Venture.

"Well, she said she despised people

'WelI, I saw no reason to disagree

house afire. F"
''That must have been before 1 caught

made use of French phrase which
seemed to describe it better than any
thing else.''

it,
''Pshaw, you're off your base. How

Why He Didn't Shoot.

A Utican who is q fine shot, fire.
quent visitor to the Adirondacks and a
great lover of the w2ods, was deep in
the wilderness a few Gays ago. With
him was a lifelong resident of the woods,
who in past years was one of the most
successful guides, but who now occupies
a responsible position as protector of
deer and other game. The two were to-
gether when two deer approached, one
Just behind the other, and both within
easy range. The Utican brought his rifle
to his shoulder, glanced along the bar
rel at the deer and brought his gun
down again.
"Why didn't you shoot?' was asked.
''That deer hasn't any horns," was
the reply.
The woodsman instantly extended his
hand, with the words: 'Shake! 1t does
me good to once in awhile find man
who has heart and Judgment as we'll. T"
ST have shot a good number of deer
in my lifetime, added the Utican, ''but
/ have never shot a doe and hope shall
never be guilty Of doing SO. for in my
eyes it is really crime, and a heartless
one at that.
81 Think added the woodsman,
''that if sportsmen-true sportsmen,
mean-who live in the cities and viii
lagos could be made to see and appreci-
ate as I do the harm done in d sporting
sense by the Strengthening of does they
would refrain from killing them, and
in few years rejoice to find deer far
more plentiful than now. There is law
violated sometimes by brutes against
the killing of fawns, and it would be a
good thing, in my estimation, if it was
extended to protect does also, at least
for several years. I always feel ashamed
of any friend of mine who comes into
the woods, shoots doe and Tugs it of
exultantly, as if he had done something
to be proud of. Utica Observer.

Several large cod are kept in one
of the tanks of the Amsterdam auuar-
ium, necessarily near the surface, and
heretofore exposed to a strong light
from above. Now, the cod, though
not "deep sea" fish, is not surface
swimmer and lives at depths where
the sunlight must be very much mod
iged by passage through the water.
1t lives in what to us would be semi
darkness. Every one of there cod
exposed to the strong light is suffer-
ing from an extraordinary hypertro-
ply of the eye. The whole organ be-
come over grown, as if in the effort
to adjust itself to the use of more light
rays it had become over equipped and
then useless. The cod, in fact, are
blind.

In point of speed the "Brooklin,"
which was put in commission last
week at the Philadelphia navy yard,
is inferior to the Minneapolis"
which holds the record of 23.O7 knots
per hour. On the other hand, it is
superior to the latter in size, in coal
carrying capacity, in armor, and in
weight of battery, while her speed

Foreign critics of our gastronomy are

They remark upon a common love OF

The latest enumeration of the ami
mails known to science includes no
less than $4,000 recognized species.
The real number is said to be very
much larger. 1t has been estimated
that of insects alone the earth harbors
1900, 900 species, but the late Profess
sor Riley regarded even that estimate
as far too low. According to his opin-
ion 10000, 900 would be a moderate es-
innate of the number of insect spe-
cies! The number of individuals is,
of course, incalculable.

According to the estimates of Mr..
j. A. Udden, who has studied Ohe re-
markable phenomena of dust and
sand storms in the arid regions of the
West, every cubic mile of the lower
air during an ordinary "dry storm"
contains at least 225 tons of dust,
while in severe storms of this kind as
much as 200 tons of dust and sand
may be contained in a cubic mile of
air. ust-storms sometimes last for
twenty or thirty hours.

BURIED SHIPS.

They Were Found Under a Portion OF Dub
lin by Sewer Workmen.
The excavations in connection With
the main drainage works have resulted
in some discoveries of considerable IN
terest, particularly to the antiquarian.
Unfortunately those who came ON the
6nds are not enthusiastic searchers into
the secrets of the past, and they did not
exert themselves in the work of lnvestl-
CATION When the trench for the main
sewer at Upper Ormond quay was being
dug, the diggers came on an old ship,
which was buried in the ground, some
30 feet down, nearly opposite the head
of East Arran streeg The direction OF
the ship was at right angles to the quay
wall, the bow projecting toward up
river.
The vessel was evidently swallowed
up in tho sands which formed the banks
of the river long ere the present quays
were built. The width of the ship is l B
feet. It's length is an unknown quantity,
for those who found the vessel simply
cut away as much as was necessary to
construct the sewer. Even its depth was
not ascertained, because the bottom or
the new sewer is only some two feet un-
derneath the point where the gunwales
of the boat begin, and the workmen did
not go to a greater depth than they
were compelled for main drainage pur-
poses The material of which the ship
was made is oak, but, owing to its long
stay in the ground, the wood is stained
almost black.
A peculiar feature in the construction
of the vessel is that the timbers are al
most all fastened together by means Of
oak plugs, there being very little iron
employed. From the charred appearance
of the deck timbers it is considered
probable that an attempt was made to
set fire to the ship, but the fire did not
spread, as the side timbers show no
traces of burning. Near the top of the
ship was found quantity of coal, and
IA pound cannon ball was also discov-
cred. Higher up the quay, almost oppo-
site the city sheriff s Office, another ship
was found.
This one, which lay in the direction
parallel to the quay wall. had also evil

which used TO border the Liffey in its
progress through the Dublin of other
Gays. LEG saIl0 p6Cu1ldIltlSS III Gull
struction as were observed in the case of
the first ship were noticed in that of
the second. There did not, however, APP
pear to have been an attempt to set the
boat on fire.
The workmen express their belief that
the ships are IS old as the days of Brian,
the latter name being rather familiar
reference to the conqueror of Clontarf.
The presence of cannon ball would
seem to do away with this theory, for
at the time of this historic conflict fire.
arms were unknown and the gentle art
of projecting heavy missiles at ones
fellow creatures by means of artillery
was not employed for the spread of civ
ilization until Brian the Brave had been
in the grave for several centuries. 1t is
probable, however, that the ships are at
least as old as the time of King Charles
I. or even of Qneen Elizabeth. Dublin
