Making Spurious Antique Coins

"a physician of Gannat, DIR. Sahut,"
says the Revenue Scientifque, as
translated in The Literary Digest,
has had occasion to observe a new
so-called 'Paris-pointed' nan that had
remained for several days in the gas
tro-intestinal tube Of child, and he
has shown that the digestive juices
acted on the smaller parts of the for
eign body as to cause the edges and
the point to disappear and that the
brilliant metallic surface was replaced
by brownish tint This demonstra-
ton will explain the methods used In
Italy to make antique medals suppos-
ed to date from the most ancient
times. The people who made living
by this industry, it is said, are accus-
toned to cause large birds, such as
peacocks, to swallow coarsely coun-
terfeitcd coins Of Tiberius or Caligula.
After some time the birds excrete the
coins. which have acquired a more o.
less perfect .patina. If the time has
been too short the coin is sent on an
other castro intestinal trip. and this is
kept up until the piece has acquired .

Spain Could Learn No Lesson from ~
Loss Of Her Possessions
Theodore 9. Woolsey, professor OF
international lsw at Yale University.
has an article In the September Gem
fury on Spain and Her American
Colonies" Prof. Woolsey says:
1t has already been said that Eng
land learned a. lesson of the American
revolution, while Spain has never heed
ed it nor the loss of her own colonies.
Yet 1t really was not until hfty years
ago that their methods sharply d.
verged. As early as 177s Spain had
begun to open her dependencies to
foreign trade, and early in this CEN
fury they were allowed to trade with
one another. So, likewise. although
great changes had been earlier made
in the English colonies, the spirit Oh
monopoly and Of q restrictive policy
was in force until about 1915. So far
as relates to the evils of the colonial
system, then, the two were not very
unlike. But into the field Of admins
tratiye reform and the grant Of auton-
nous powers to her colonies, Spain
never had entered. The abuses OF tie
early part Of the century characterize
also its later years. Discrimination
against the native-born, even OF the
purest Spanish stock; officials who re-
gard the colony as q mine to be work.

forced dependence upon the mother
country for manufactures, even for
produce. so far as duties can effect IT.;
self-government stihed; representation
in the cortes denied or nullity; .
civil service unprogressive, ignorant,
sometimes corrupt-compare these
handicaps with the growth, the pros
perity, the independence. above all. the
decent and orderly administration. OF
the colonies of England. One OF the
wonderful things In this half-century
is that army of British youth, with but
little special training or genius, or
even, perhaps, conscious sympathy for
the work, learning to administer the
great and growing Indian and colonial
empire honestly and wisely and well,
with courage and judgment equal to
emergencies. animated by an every
day working sense Of duty and honor,
but not very often making any fuss or
phrases about 1t. 1t Is not that Span
ish colonial government Is worse than
formerly. which Is costing It now 80
dear, but that 1t Is no better, while
the worlds standard has advanced and
condemns it. Never yet has Spain
looked at her colonies with their own
welfare uppermost in her mind. She
has never outgrown the old mistaken
theories. Her fault Is medievalism
alias ignorance.

scattered about the empire, were sum-
moned just over month ago to Ber-
lin, to go through course Of four
weeks work. Eighteen colonies. lieu
tenant-colonels and captains, with q
corresponding number of noncommis-
stoned officers, were ordered to come
to the capital to superintend the men.
The men were Quartered in the bar
racks of the LIST field artillery regiment
Of the Prussian guards and performed
their daily work there. About forty
locksmiths were told of to repair
their machines when necessary. The
men worked in two divisions continu-
ously day and night, one division re-
ieving the other. One division worked
from 2 p. m. till 2 a. m, whereupon
they were relieved by the other party,
which in its turn worked from a. m.
till 2 p. m. Two pauses of half an
hour each were made In zach twelve
hours work. The men got their din

work, the other section Immediately

bread money. The 1000 men made
800 pairs Of boots per day-that is to
say, infantry and cavalry boots and
lace shoes.

The President and Congress have
been prompt and profuse in extending
thanks to officers of the army and
navy for deeds of conspicuous bravery
in action. No mention, however, has
been made thus far Of the magnetic act
of Captain Sigsbee after the wreck
ing of his beautiful battleship. A man
who went through the ordeal that go
suddenly faced him without losing his
head or his Judgment, is q hero Of the
first water. His injunction, Suspend
judgment till facts are known" was
most potent as calming the outburst
of popular Indignation. 1t accomplish
ed more than a presidential proclama-
ton or an act of congress. This single
sentence halted and held for many
days the criticism Of the enlightened
world. Are there no thanks left for
this remarkably cool-headed of1cer?

loss Of his ship. and this constitutes

VALUE OF THE EVENING PAPEF

Time to Enjoy 1t.
The value of the evening newspaper
is not exhausted when it has given the
news of the hour, or has helped the
business man over the tedium of travel
from his Office to his home, says the
Boston Transcript Copies are seldom
found littering the seats OF steam or
electric cars, as it Is taken to the
household for perusal by the whole
family. OF course the evening Is the
time when it can be most thoroughly
read and discussed. Moreover, so rapid
has become every medium OF intelli-
gence from worlds end to worlds end
that the evening paper is more favor
ably circumstanceG than its morning
contemporaries for keeping pace with
the genuine news of each day. The
facilities for extracting the best es-
sence of the worlds history for the
day and the worlds thought upon pass
ing events have been brought to such
a high state of development that it is
enabled to keep even pace with daily
events. furnishing a brief resume OF
such morning news as may have been
expanded by other sheets beyond real
value and keeping the record clear and
unbroken. When 1t takes its readers
into its confidence it Is at time when
the cares and worries of business
have been put aside for the day, or II
not it helps to put them aside and
enables the reader to keep in leisurely
touch, not only with the current news
but with art and literature and those
other larger and deeper interests OF
life for which most busy people have
small inclination as they are about to
plunge into the work Of the day.
