A New Sight For the Army.

Lieutenant I. @. Dickson, United
States Army. of the Springfield Ar
senal, has invented sight which has
been accepted by the Ordnance De-
p.rtment. This sight has wind
gauge and is so constructed that the
drift is automatically made for all
ranges up to 1900 yards, no matter in
what direction the wind is blowing.
AS fast as the sights can be manufac-
tured they will be supplied to the
troops to replace those now in use.
The official designation of these
sights will be "Model of 1S98."

An eye specialist states that much
Of the strain upon the eyes of school
children may be prevented by having
classrooms tinted with restill aud
suitable color. He regards this as a
matter upon which far too little stress
is laid By the building and furnishing
committees of school boards. Clear
white walls are a menace to eyesight
thatought not to be tolerated in any
schoolroom. 1t is in just these par.
ticulars that the service of women on
school boards is efficient. Women
take pains and know from experience
in the furnishing of their houses how
much apparently trihinS details con-
tribute to comfort, as we'll as to effect.
Men as a rule are content to put this
particular kind of work in the hands
of tradesmen, who may or may not be
intelligent workmen.

One of the little things that occupy
brief paragraph in the days record
and mean much in a nations history
is the vote of the British House OF
Commons raising the age at which a
child may be taken from school from
eleven to twelve years. So many
children taken from factory labor; so
many more allowed to grow toward an
unstunted manhood; so much added
to a nations intelligence-that is the
meaning of the vote.

The superior English Pickpocket.

Pocket picking is an occupation
that adnaits of vast display of in
genuity. While disclaiming any par
ticular merit for that country, says a
London paper, it is an indisputable
fact that again England is in the van
of oil nations in that her pickpockets
hold their own against all foreign com
petition. In London acne over one
hundred thousand men, women and
children gain thei ally bread by
this rEs2rupulous mo1t OF living.

COINS OF BIBLE LANDS.


tlDuul
In the National Museum at Wash
ington is an interesting collection of
coins of Bible lands. Coined money
did not circulate among the Israelites
previous to their return from the
Babylonian captivity, but specific
weights of gold and silver were used
in commercial transactions from a
very early period and the term
"shekel," which is the name of the
piece of money most frequently oc-
curing in the Bible. literally means
''weight." Some historians attribute
the first coinage to Ecra, but the
earliest Jewish coins known were
struck by Simon Maccabeus about
146 B. G. Greek and Roman money
was current in Palestine.
Among the coins in the museum
are shekels of silver of the first issue
attributed to Simon Maccabaus. The
design represents on one side cup
of mama, with legend: "Shekel of
Israel" On the reverse is the bud
ding rod of Aaron, with the legend:
Jerusalem the Holy" The value
of the coin in our currency is about
sixty-four cents.
"The widows mite" is a coin OF
copper issued by Alexander Jann@us
(1O5 to ITS B. C.), bearing a wreath
OF olives, with the inscription: ''Jon.
athan the High Priest and the Con-
federation of the Jews" On the re.
verse are two cornucopias and the
head of poppy. The mite was the
smallest current coin in the time OF
Jesus, and its value was about one.
eighth of one7cent.
There is also coin issued by Herod
Antipas, te.rarch of Galilee, who be.
headed John the Baptist and to whom
Jesus was sent for examination by
Pilate. Aggrippa, the last Jewish
king, issued bronze coin, of which
there is an example. 1t was he With
whom the apostle Paul had an inter.
view in the presence Of the Roman
Governor, Festus.
The coin found by Peter in the
mouth of fish and used to pay the
temple tribute for Jesus and himself
was Starter" OF which there are
two specimens in silver issued at
Antioch, bearing the words Caesar
Augustus" under the head OF
the Roman Emperor, and on
the reverse a figure of Tyche, the
genias of Antioch, with her foot on
the river god Orontes.
There are also in the museum col.
lections of coins struck by Alexander

A British Cruisers Narrow Escape,

Her Majesty's ship Eclipse narrowly
escaped the experience of the Am erl-
can cruiser Maine during her stay at
Bombay recently. 1t appears that
while the officers were at dinner in
the ward-room an explosion occurred
beneath them, followed by sounds of
numerous slighter conclusions. The
sounds were located in the shell-room
of the twelve-pounder quick firing
gun. This was at once flooded, aud,
after pumping out, the inspection
showed that three twelve FOUNDER
shells from the top tier had exploded,
the fragments being scattered all over
the room, though little damage was
done 10 the room fittings or to other
shells. These shells are of highly ex-
plosive character, but no others showed
signs of injury. A court of inquiry
was ordered, but no information be,
yond that already known was elected,
the only explanation of the mystery
being th heory of spontaneous explo.

Whole VS.. Piece Root Crafts.

Il testing the comparative value of
these two methods of grating, the
Alabama Experiment Station found
that at the end of one year the trees
grated on whole roots were slightly
smaller than those grated on piece
roots. The difference was very slight,
indeed, but the results seem to indi-
cate that the extravagant claims ad-
vocated by the admirers of the whole
