There are many curious things
about y rays which seem to puzzle
even the scientists. Sig. Briguitii,
who has been making experiments
with them at Rome. says that the Wis
ibility of a substance to the eye is no
criterion of its visibility to the x
rays. The rays can not see through
glass which is transparent to the eye,
whereas aluminium, which is opaque
to the eye, is transparent to the x
rays. The rays. can see a splinter of
glass in the hand, but not a splinter
of wood

THE YEARS. COIN AGE.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled
from Report Of Director
OF the Mint.

Washington, Jan. 14.Afr. George
b. Roberts, the director Of the mint,
in his annual report shows that the
coinage of the past year was in excess
of that executed in any previous year
in the history of the service, aggregat-
ing $141,351, 800, as compared with
$136, ,S55, ,676 in the last fiscal year. The
value of the gold coinage was slightly
below that of the previous year, being
$1O7,937, ,110, as compared with $685.
l77,1SO.. The coinage Of silver dollars
was $1S,244,9 ,9S4, as compared with $751;
254,7 7o9 in the previous year. The chief
increase was in the output Of sub
sidiary and minor coins, which sur
passed all records and it is stated may
doubtless be attributed to the extraor-
dinary activity of retail trade through
out the country. The coinage of sub
sidiary silver amounted to 57,114,270
pieces of the value of $12, 2,S76, ,s49, and Of
minor coins to the extraordinary total
of 1o1, ,3o1 ,753 pieces of the value of $2,-
24a,o17. The seignorage or profit on,
this coinage was 5.477. .525.
The deposits of gold bullion at the
mints and assay offices of the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, exclusive or redeposits,
We're of the value of ,92o,119,
against $143, 3,497, 100 reported the pre-
vious year. The total deposits of gold
were not so great as in the previous
year, the imports of bullion showing
decline, but the deposits of domestic
bullion again surpassed all records,
amounting TO $S7,45S, 1886, against $780,
252,4s7s last year.
Ihe seignorage on the coinage of
silver dollars, subsidiary and minor
coins during the year amounted to
SIC, ,2S6,302.
The fluctuations in the price of silver
in the London market during the 12
months ended June 80. 1900, were n OF of
wide range, the lowest price being
265Bd and the highest price % 9-16d.
For the first nine months of the fiscal
year the market was sustained mainly
by purchases for India and the Straits
settlements, with small demands on
continental account and also for the
domestic coinage of England and her
colonies. Early in April. 1900. a de-
mand for silver came from China.
which continued for the remainder of
the year, and this, with the demand
by the Italian government, caused. the
price to advance by the end of June to
2s 9-16d, the highest price Of the year.
The average price of silver for the
year, based upon daily London quota
tions, was 27375od, equivalent at par
of exchange to $0.6oo17 per ounce, fine,
in United States money. At the high
est market price of silver during the
year the commercial ratio Of silver to
gold was as i to 1901; at the lowest
price to 35.41; at the average price
to 34.44.

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety of acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe It is
not very fatal disease, but the condition
IN which it leaves the system has caused the
death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
la grippe within the last three Years finds
himself more or less deranged BY the per-
nicious effects of this disease The major
lty OF those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living
Ii this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an un-
told amount of suffering could beaverted!

no visible place of abode this city,
and yet strange - say, appear to have

The negroes were looked after most
carefully, for without the negro vote in
this county there would be NJ Re

the Republican present management
in Frederick County is doomed. Hun
dreds OF honest Republican farmers
will not submit to the way Republi-

be change and the only way to Sc
cure change is to defeat the men in
power who co not hesitate to turn
