BERMUDA "HOG MONEY,
How the Island Happened to Get Her
Peculiar Currency.
From the philadeIDhia Ipuufrer

How the Island Happened to Get Her
Peculiar Currency.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Hog money Is rather a queer name for
currency, is 1t not? Yet that is the name
by which the brass money which began to
be struck in Bermuda in 1915 came to be
known. On one face Of 1t was a hog, on
the other a ship Of that period. They
are very rare and highly priced by col
lectors.
The history Of this device is curious and
Interesting. A Spanish vessel, commanded
by Juan Bermudez, and on its way to
Cuba with cargo of hogs. was wrecked
there. This was in 1915. Later in the
same century, when the English discovered
this land. they found a country inhabited
by hogs.
1t is also interesting to note that the
English discovered 1t in the same way
as the Spaniards. An English ship was
wrecked there. Is 1t any wonder that
the treacherous coast got from the Span
ish and English alike the name Of Devils
Land?" Yet it is one of the most beau
tiful coasts in the world, and 1t has been
claimed that In brilliancy Mediterranean
effects are not at all equal to those of
Bermuda Bermuda Is said to be the island
of Shakespeare's Tempest" The strange
noises which mariners heard coming from
were produced by hogs, caused them to
say that it was haunted and to report
weird things of 1t.
While are talking about Bermuda,
We might as well tell of the queer way
in which the people there get their build
ing material. The houses are all built Of
coraline rock. When a man wants to build
house, he cuts his plank out of his
ground and BUILDS away. If he wants q
plank for anything he goes to the side of
his yard and cuts out a slab. He seems
to think very little about how the hole
left is going to look. There are big and
little quarries all about in Hamilton, which
is the capital.
Another thing about Bermuda, which is
not written in our histories, and which
you might care to know, is the way she
helped US in the revolution. One hun
cred barrels of good British gunpowder
went from Bermuda to Boston In 17T6
If you go to Bermuda you will have point
ed out to you the quaint old town Of St
George, the exact spot from which that
very useful powder was taken by the COL
onists, with the connivance of the local
government at Bermuda. The powder was
supplied IN response to a letter from Gen.
Washington. who emphasized the advan-
tages which might accrue from CONNER
cial relations between Bermuda and the
colonies, and suggested that these rela-
tons could be further strengthened by
timely assistance in the way of ammuni-
tlon Great Britain kept then, as now
large military stores at Bermuda. 1t was
whispered at the time that Bermuda
thought of casting her fortunes with the
colonies. However that may have been,
she is loyal enough now to the British flag.
1t IS pretty thought that she now sends
US Easter lilies where once she sent us
gunpowder. Raising Easter lilies for the
New York market is favorite industry in
Bermuda, and fields of Easter lilies there
are no uncommon sight

Famous POtbOiler Work.

From the London Times.
At Corbin-hall Crouch-end, Sir Wyke
Bayliss. president of the Royal Society Of
British Artists distributed the govern
ment awards and prizes to the successful
students Of the Hornsey School OF Art,
and, after the distribution delivered an
address on 1.-The DOGGY of the Studio'
Sir Wyke Bayliss. in the course of his ad-
dress, said that the DOGGY Of the studio"
appeared in three different shapes, and in
each Of them he must be peremptorily
hanished. His first shape was in the idea
that art. after all. was nowadays a COM
mon thing. that there were thousands of
people all trying to earn a living by art
and that what one could do hundreds Of
others could do equally. The second ap-
pearance Of the DOGGY was in the sugges-
ton that art was merely q commercial af-
fair. because the artist painted for a living
word ''potboiler' that they had changed
the whole purpose of their lives. A pot
boiler was picture painted by an artist
not In an idle moment. or for an expert
ness for money. The finest art work which
the world had ever seen had been done I'M
der those conditions. The friezes sculp-
tured by Phidias on the Parthenon were
and the kids" had their share of the pay
ment made for them. The most precious
of Turner's works were painted for pub
fishers. The third appearance of the DOGGY
was in the declaration that there were no
more great artists. The belief that the
golden age Of art was passed arose from
one of two causes-despondency or conceit
a conceit which would not acknowledge
the value Of contemporary work. Let it be
remembered that art was a living and
growing force, strong enough to shape the
destiny of a nation. Were women beautiful
only in the time Of Helen? Were men ex-
nIt cd OWL fr,f IA Iaxy - - n n
The source of the inspiration of those great
days was not exhausted; and that inspira-
ton could still be drawn from the common
life of men and women for those painters
who. having passionate love Of art, sub
mitted themselves to the training of the
schools.

Oldest Church I'm Europe.


The Oldest church in Europe is that of St.
Pudenziana, at Rome. About the middle of
the first century a certain Roman senator
had house on this spot. He was a Chris
tan convert. and it is said a distant rela-
tive to st. Paul. who lodged with him from
A. d. Al to So For the religious uses of
himself and guests, he built a small chapel
IN this house, and when he died in 90 and
DIS wife year later. his daughter added a
baptistry. A church was afterwards erect
ed on the site Of the original house of
Fudens, and consecrated in los or l45.
canon Routledge, in his history of St.
Martins Church. Canterbury, claims that
that venerable edifice is the oldest church
IN Christendom. He describes 1t as occu-
pying the unique position of being the only
existing church that was originally built as
a church during the first four Centuries.

day. Its font is the very one In which
Ethefbert was baptized by st. Augustine
as mentioned by the Venerable Bede.

Andree's Expedition.
From the London Times.

Reuters Agency states that the opinion
is held in geographical circles that if moth
irg is heard Of Herr Andree before the end
of April there is very little chance of him
being heard of at all. By that time, if he
hae wintered in Siberia or in North
America. he would have an opportunity Of
travelling over the frozen tundra and get
ting into communication with some trading
posts or settlements. 1t is also regarded as
quite possible that Andree may have come
down on the west coast of Greenland in
which case he could not be heard of until
next autumn, when the Danish steamers
and whalers return. There Is also a chance
that he may have reached Franz Josef
Land. but the most probable theory is that,
if alive. he is In North Siberia in which
case hope may be sustained at any rate
until April.

The Center of Greater New York.
From the New York World

Center of ths Greater New York--whers
Is 1t? Half dozen places are claimants
for the honor. but only one is entitled to
1t. And what do you think it is? It's a
golf course, and the building nearest to the
center Is the club house that crowns the
links. There are several ways-all compli-
Gated and mathematical-of finding the
geographical center. But there is only one
simple way. Just take the map and bal
snce 1t ON the point of q pin. The geo.
graphical center will be where the point
OF balance is. That point is Richmond
hill. Long Island, on the map of the Great
er New York. The links Of the Richmond
Hill Golf Club occupy that proud position.
The pretty club house that tops the highest
hill commands nearly the whole course,
and gives sweeping vista of nearly the
entire borough Of Queens.
