the continent, where it's Danish origin is
repudiated. it is called the German mastiff.
and under this head all its varieties are
classed at shows while IN this country we
call it the Great Dane, and catalogue under
that name all the varieties of German

1t is beautiful creature, this Great

one might expect from a dog of war and of

stranger who goes to pat one as If it were

portion. Thence they pass directly to the
coming room. Here the sheets are cut into
strips, from which the round blanks. called
"planchets," are punched, and these are
run directly through the stamping ma
chimes, where they receive the impressions
from the dies.
The stamping machine consists of heavy
cast-iron arch above small round table,
at which the operator sits. A nearly round
brass plate, called triangle" is fastened
by knee joint to the lever of the arch
This triangle holds the die, which is forced
down on the blanks and leaves the impress
sion. The brass blanks or "planchets''
drop through hollow tube upon feeders,
which carry them beneath the dies. Any
imperfect pieces are rejected by the wo-
man operators, who acquire wonderful dex-
terity in detecting them.
From the stamp the coins go to an auto
matte Weighing machine This intelligent
perfected by former director of the mint,
throws out all pieces that are above or be-
low the required weight, and an electric
alarm attached to it warns the operator in
case two coins try to pass into the recep-
tacle at once. The pieces of correct weight
pass on to the counting room, and the
others are sent back to be recast.
Counting 500 at a Time.
Pennies are not counted by the laborious
process Of handling each piece, but by a
device known as the counting board" by
which 500 are counted at a time. The
counting board Is an inclined plane with
columns the exact width of cent. sep
arated by copper partitions in height ex-
actly equal to the thickness of the coin.
The cents are spread over this board and
fall into the grooves prepared for them, all
surplus coins falling off into a trough
Then the counting board is emptied into
the canvas bags, which are carted away to
be shipped to any part of the country

ties where pennies are most in use Last

If Water Never FrOxe.
From Parsons Weekly.


The whole economy of nature would I'M
dergo a startling change if water never
froze. The worlds climates would be
revolutionized. The ice-bound polar seas
would cease to exercise their chilling in
f1uences, end consequently the currents of
the ocean might either cease or be turned
aside in different directions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek other
shores than those of Britain, and the eli
mate there might be subject to the ex-
tremeS of heat and cold noticeable in other
countries of the same latitude The ice
bound rivers of the north, notably those Of
Russia and Siberia, would be open for nayf-
CATION, and Russias activity as a sea power
and a commercial nation might alter the
whole world of commerce.
Canada would become another country
altogether. An immense tract of land
would be available for cultivating hardy
plants, and Greenland might be what its
name indicates. The absence of icebergs
on the coasts of Newfoundland and Ice
land would result in a much warmer eli
mate IN those islands, where now the crops
often fail.
Ice. too, plays an important part in the
economy of nature. Thus, If water never
froze snow. hail and boar frost would
cease The 1oosening of soils and the dis
Indignation of rocks by the frost and
many other now vital effects would be lost.
In short, the absence of ice would be on
the one hand an incalculable disaster. on
the other hand, great boon.

orange. 1t was considered winter fruit al
most entirely in those days, ana was one
of the sweet luxuries of Yuetide holidays.
Now it is in the market all the year round,
owing to the importations of the Mexican
fruit, the growth and development of which
has been due largely to the efforts or Kan
sas City merchants.
There are really two crops of the Mexi-
can orange, the summer or brevaS crop, as
It. is called, which is usually marketed dur
ing the month of June, and the regular
crop, which follows it closely and lasts I'M
til after the holidays. These two crops
supply the demand during the months
when the California fruit is ripening. Near
ly every one knows the juicy, sweet, fine
favored little Mexicans, and their superior
qualities give them a high place in every
market. They will keep longer and ship
farther than any other fruit. The varieties
which are received here are grown in the
mountains about 300 miles from Mexico
City. They are wrapped in tissue paper
that was made in Massachusetts and pack
ed in boxes made in Florida and carried
on burros to shipping stations on the Mexi-

Competition for Centenarians.
Rome Correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.


Supported by the newspaper Don CHS
ciotti," subscription has been opened, the
result Of which is to be divided between
those who on January /, 1900, will have
seen three centurfes-that is to say, those
who, having at that time at least one hun
dred years and two days. can boast of hav-
ing lived in the eighteenth. nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Superficial observers
may think that for this purpose COMPARE
lively little will be required, or that if a
large sum be collected il will be divided
among very few people. However, this is
a mistake, as according to statistics there
are now In Italy from two to three hundred
people whose age exceeds one hundred
years. The historian Flegone, in his books
DE Mirabilibus'' and DE Longaeyfs" re-
cords that from a census taken at the time
of the Emperor Vespasian 1t resulted that
there were in Italy sixty-nve centenarians
but it is enough to open the medical en-
cyclopaediae Of Dechambre to establish
that the number of centenarians has pro-
portionately increased considerably since
ancient times, even taking into consfdera-
ton the augmentation in the population
the diminution Of epidemics, the lesser fire.
Quency of war, the amelioration of n.y.
gienic conditions-in a word, the progress
Of civilization. which was greatly lessened
1897. when the population was much small
er than at present In Italy, the centena-
rians were 175. To reach one hundred
years, however, should not be strange ac-
cording to an Italian saying, which runs:
"a dog lasts nine years; a horse lasts three
dogs, twenty-seven years: q man lasts
three horses. eighty-one years: crow lasts
three men. 243 years: q deer lasts three
crows. To years; an oak lasts three deer,

What is your theory about the fate of

II think that Andree is still alive 1t is
not necessarily a bad sign that he has not
been heard from yet. My idea is that he
has probably landed in the North American
archipelago or on the northern shores of
America or the Siberian coast. In either
case he would have to go into winter quar-
tiers and await the spring in order to be
able to communicate with the outside
