cradle discussion in England and OH
the continent. The coin bears por-
trait of the Savior, with the name of
Jesus in Hebrew characters. On the
reverse, in Hebrew characters, is this
motto:
"The Messiah, the King, will come
in peace. He is the incarnate living
light of men"
The claim that this coin was in cir
culation in the first century after
Christ is disputed in England, where
George Mackey, noted coin collec-
tor. shows almost an exact duplicate
of the Partisan coin. This coin was
unearthed in 1879 by q PEASANTS
daughter who was helping her father
dig potatoes in Ireland. On one side
is the head of the Savior, with o
Hebrew inscription as shown in the
illustration, and on the reverse q
Hebrew inscription reading:
"The Messiah has reigned. He came
in peace, and being made the light OF
man He lives"
Walter Davis, member of the Lou
don Numismatical Society, has dis
covered that q similar coin is de-
scribed in Rev. r. Walsh's Essay on
Ancient Coins, Medals and Gems" I"
and according to this authority the
character at the back of the head is
the Hebrew letter "Aleph," and the
characters in front OF the face form
the Jewish name Jesus.
Still another holy coin, one of silver
and somewhat larger than those
mentioned, was submitted some time
ago to the authorities at the British
Museum. There is no such coin there,
but the verdict passed on the coin
submitted was "Italian coin seven
teenth century. Son of Jesse, the
Messiah, was crucifed on the sixth
day and taken down on the sixth
day. He lived"
The owner of this coin disputes the
great age of any of these so-called
holy coins.

Scientific child study has commenced
in the public schools of Chicago, and
while as yet it has reached no definite
stage, beginning has been made at
least.
The most notable test now being
made is that through the medium of
the ergograph, which is the invention
OF Professor A. Mosso, of Italy, and is
for the purpose of determining the
stored up energy of the pupil.
Apart from the ergograph tests there
are others, all o.. which are deemed es-
sential. In the first place, the pupil
is weighed, then his height is carefully
taken, both standing and sitting.
Then comes the ergograph. It con-
slsts OF two main parts, one of which
IS cylinder, revolved by means of
'lockwork, about which a paper strip
s pasted. The working portion of the
second part is a'small sliding carriage,
% which is attached stylograplic
zen, the point Of which rests upon the
'aper covered cylinder. To one
nd of this carriage is attached
Ieight, and to the other cord made
f twisted wire.
The arm of the pupil to be exam
ned is strapped into rest, the latter !

raph, however, so that it is possible ]
