1000 SILVER PENNIES.
A Scottish Plowman Unearths Re-
minder of Bannockburu.

Samuel McMichan, plowmaR of Close
burn. Dumfriessire, has just brought to
light pOtful of silver pennies that were
buried probably 0SI year ago, or there
abouts. Samuel McMichan, being a
plowman who takes a pride in his fur
row, rested his horses at the end of the
field he was working a few days ago, and
cast his eye back along the line he had
followed to see that it was straight.
1t was not His critical eye noticed an
unevenneSs in the ground, and Samuel
McMichau stepped back over the clods
of that high-lying field to ascertain the
cause. He found that his plow had
broken open an earthenware pot, and be-
fore him lay scattered hundreds of pieces
of what, in his homely, lowland way, he
called tin"
With capful of tin" McMichan
went off and consulted the farmer and
most of the ''tin" turned out to be silver
pennies of the reign of Edward L., who
annexed Scotland, and Edward H., who
lost it. There were over 1000 of them,
all in good preservation. each measuring
three-quarters of an inch across. They
weighed , pounds in bulk
The oldest of the coins are those Of
King Alexander of Scotland, who ruled
from 1919 to 1850. There are also a few
bearing the mint mark of Waterford, ia
Ireland. The latest are those of Edward
III, whom the Scots cheerfully thrashed
at Bannockburn in 1914. In 1913 Ed
ward Bruce drove the English oppressor
out of Nithsdale, and it is suggested that
some Engiishman, being in hurry to
reach the border, put his 1000 silver
pennies i'll a potsherd and hid it in the
ground.
1t would he interesting to know the
name Of the man who thus lost what
Samuel McMichan. 500 years later found.
Perhaps an antiquary will tell us. But,
at any rate. the Crown is claiming the
pennies as treasure-trove, so they will
probably find their way into a Scottish
museum for English visitors to look at
London Daily Mail.

A MATRIMONIAL QUESTION.
Should a Man Marry Before He Can

Should a man make home before he

he marry first and let the home-making

KINNEY

Experience j5i has shown that the
/ height OF factory chimneys is. not alone
/ dependent on how much smoke or
other special poisonous gases have
to be removed by it. On the contrary
It is essential thatsa chimney, especial
#iy when it has to remove poisonous
and other detritus products of com
bustion containing dangerous and I'M
healthy poison, not alone for human.
beings, but for plants as we'll, is to be
constructed to such a height that the
escaping gases produce no harm, es-
pecially at chemical factories and gas
works, where, in most cases, the poi
sonous and dangerous products Of
combustion escape before they enter
the f1ue, thus demanding frequently
anu costly construction, which is Of.
ten found impossible to carry out.
After the experience of today, an out
let height OF about 300 feet above the
level is considered sufficient to pre-
vent harmful action to plant life as
Wella as the interference with the health
OF people living in the vicinity Of the
chimney. Should this territory be sur
rounded with wooded heights, it is
well to increase in the same ratio the
height OF the chimney. In rolling or
hllly country the outlet of the Chin
ney must be placed at least 800 feet
above the highest point of the sur
rounding hills; chimney in the val
ley would, in consequence Of this great
height, cost so much that it is cheaper
to build the fiue of the chimney on this
highest point, and erect the chimney
proper on the already existing higher
rla~e supplied by nature. On account
OF this aforesaid condition the Royal
Saxon Smelling works at Halsbrucke,
IN Freiberg;~Were compelled to build a
nigh chimney, which can safely be con-
sldered to" be the highest and most
prominent chimney Of this century.
This chimney has height above the
surrounding plane of 459 feet. NJ The
height of the chimney itself is 429 feet
g inches, and at the square base it is
~ feet 6 inches, and, therefore, at the
Time OF its completion, in 1889, was the
highest chimney in the world. The top
internal diameter is over feet, This
enormous height did not suffice TO sup
ply sufficient security for the surround
ing neighborhood against. the outgo-
ing gases, and, therefore, this chimney
was erected upon one of the adjoining
highest hills, which is 1877 feet higher
than the smelling works. situated in
the valley. In consequence Of this po-
slt1on the chimney obtains an <addi-
t1onal height, an increased efficiency
equivalent to height of over 656 feet.
AS this chimney could not be placed
next to the factory but was built, as
before mentioned. upon the highest
hill, f1qe of over 1,640 feet was con-
structed, which runs: part of the dis
lance over bridge, especially built to
hold the construction over the River
Nude, which separates the factory
