inch. This fact was determined by
taking two thoroughly clean, straight
edges, placing a piece of paper between
the surfaces at one end, the opposite
end being allowed to come together.
The straight edges being placed be-
tween the eye and strong light in a
dark room, a wedge of light was per-
celved from the ends between which
the paper was placed and the opposite,
which were brought together. The
thickness of the paper being known,
the distance apart of the two edges
of the small end of the wedge of light
was easily calculated, and the result
was shown as above,

A Bell That Never Rang.

A curious legend is that connected
with the bell Of st. Mura, in Ireland.
The bell was said to have descended
from the sky ringing loudly, but as it
approached the earth the tongue de-
tached itself and returned to the skies.
The people concluded from this that
the bell was never to be profaned by
sounding on earth, but was to be kept
for purposes more holy and benefcent.

The Kaiser Waited.

A woman Of high social distinction
in America was presented to the kaiser
at some dinner that was not attended
with royal state. She was talking to
him when she was offered a famous
German salad. 1t was handed on her
right, and the kaiser was on her left,
which put her in a predcament. She
did not dare turn her face from the
emperor to help herself to the salad.
The situation was too much for her.
The emperor, seeing the condition at
glance, looked at her for an instant and
laughed as he said, "a kaiser can wait,
but salad cannot"

A French medical journal cites a
number Of cases where great and last
ng benefits were derived by people suf-
fering from dyspepsia and abdominal
diseases from a gentle massage treat
ment of the abdomen. One case men
toned is that of a young man aged 20
years who for six months had been suf-
fering with his stomach. In spite of
varied treatment he was gradually
growing worse and looked like one in
the last stages of phthisis. He suf-
fered from constipation and insomnia.
He was very nervous and was con-
vinced that he was about to die. After
instituting the abdominal massage his
condition rapidly improved. His alb
domen, which had resembled that of
child with meningitis, became supple
and daily enlarged. The treatment
was not severe nor very special. His
pain disappeared, and he was able to
digest all that was given to him. The
patient gained in six months about Go
pounds, which he has not lost since
that time, now FIVE years ago.-Les-

The London Spectator tells a funny
story of a definition given by a well
known public speaker in an address to
children.
"Now, children" he said, 81 propose

epitome of the life of st. Paul. Per-
haps some of you are too young to I'M
derstand what the word 'epitome'

Having made this simple and clear
explanation to the children, the speak

PANTHEISM.

This Is thy brother, this poor silver fish,
Close To the surface, dying in his dish;
Thy flesh, thy beating heart, thy very life;
All this, | say, art thou, against thy wish.
Thou may'st not turn away; thou shalt allow
The truth, nor shalt thou dare to question how
There is but one great heart in nature beating
And this is thy heart; this, say, art thou.
In all thy power and all thy pettiness,
With this and that poor selfish purpose, this
And that high climbing fancy and heart
Caught into heaven or cast in the abyss,
Thou art the same with all the little earth,
A little part, and sympathy of birth
Shall tell thee and thine openness Of soul
What fear is death and what life is worth.
-"The Poems of Philip Henry Savage"

The oath was originally an appeal to
divine authority to ratify an assertion.
The old Greek gods swore by the Styx,
and Jehovah is represented in the early
books of the Bible as swearing by him
self, there being none higher. The form
of an oath among the Hebrews was
"By the God of Abraham" God do so
unto me" and "God knoweth."

MONEY or WORLD SHOWN TO HAVE
DOUBLED IN IT YEARS; SILVER WANING

A large proportion of the increase in
gold has taken place within seven
years, while the quantity of silver
money which was at its maximum of
about 81 z5O. coo 600 at the beginning of
1895, has been since somewhat reduced
by the sale of silver by Germany and
its retirement in other countries. The
conditions of 1898 showed a total mon
etary supply Of about SIG. 500. 000. 600.
which has since been increased by
about 500 COO 600 About $3.50, OO0, 600
of this increase has been in gold
money
Director Roberts made public his
preliminary estimate Of the production
of gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1890. recently.
The aggregate of gold is given as s.
S3I,213 fine ounces, valued at S79322.-
2S1. and of silver. 59.61O.543 fine ounces.
which. at the approximate average
price of 81 cents for the year. makes
the value $50. 49,, 431. During the cal
endar year 1899 the gold production
was 81. 053. 400 and the silver prOdUc-
ton was a. 7645 800 fine ounces. The
Nome gold and silver production for
1850 is given as S5.100,000. and that Of

Washington, Jan. 13.-An increase of
more than 100 per cent in the money OF
the world within less than a genera
ton will be one of the most interesting
exhibits of the annual report of the
director of the mint. Nearly the whole
of this increase is in metallic money
and much the larger proportion is in
gold The total stock reported in 1873
was about $500, 000, 600, of which more
than One-half was in paper money not
fully covered by metallic reserves. The
situation at the beginning Of 1900
showed a total monetary stock of
about 81. 800. 100000. of which little
more than one-fourth was in uncov-
cred paper. The actual amount of pa
per money in circulation is greater
than these figures indicate. but a por-
ton is omitted from the net statistics
because il is covered dollar for dollar
by the great gold and silver reserves
Of the countries where the money is
issued.
Mint Director Roberts finds that
while the total money supply Of the
world has increased about s., 600 O00, COO
the increase in gold money since 1873
has been about $500. 900 600, in silver
about S2.759.U0G 900 and in uncovered
paper only about $3.50. 000. GOO.
