A Queer Coin in q Clam.

John w. Woodward of New Haven,
Conn.,, has a remarkable coin which
has been examined by several local
coin collectors and others in New York
city, and of which none has been able
10 ind any trace of the origin or has
any seen duplicate of it. A..
The coin came into the possession of
Mr. Woodward in very peculiar man
ner. A friend of his, who was summer
ing IN West Haven, caught one morn
ing clam, about five inches in length.
The clam was given to Mr.. Woodward.
On opening it he found embedded in
the muscle hard substance which had
what appeared to be a thick crust
about it. This being Clipped off it re-
vealed coin. Polishing disclosed the
identity of it and it proved to have on
the face the head of the late Queen Vic
torla. Around the edge were the words
Victoria Regina and at the bottom
the date 1883" The reverse showed a
woman seated in chair before a table,
and about the edge are the words,
Keep your temper The figure in the
chairs bears striking resemblance to
the likeness of the queen, on the op-
posite side. The piece is slightly small
er than Canadian quarter and ap-
pears to be made of bronze.

The missing solution necessary to
complete the transformation of dead
matter into a perfect living organism
is being confidently sought by DR.. A.
D. Houghton- He affirms that he has
succeeded in producing an active pro
toplasmic mass containing distinct
nucleus-like centers, which exhibited
ameboid movement. 1t assimilated
nutriment, it gave the reaction to
aniline dyes that organic cells do. it
had protoplasmic stomach it showed
saRective affinity and it even made
feeble attempts at perpetuation of it's
species. 1t split into four or five cells;
each like the mother cell. After half
an hour to three week. of activity the
cells became inert. but they had full
filed all the CONDITIONS of living cells,
such as amebae. except in perpetual
ing thk kind indefinitely.

M. ]. Thoulet has investigated the
constitution of the ocean bed, and
finds that the more deeply it is pene
trated the less the proportion of
slime and the less calcareous matter.
On the other hand. the proportion of
sand grains and pure clay increases
with depth. No regularity obtains in
the distribution of the non-calcareouS
mineral grains. This normal distribu-
ton appears to be more pronounced
the deeper the ocean bed itself lies
below the water, surface, but. in any
case. the variations due to ocean depth
are small. Even in the deepest water
the constitution of the bed shows
traces of the conditions prevailing
near the surface OF the socean above
the bed. The latter remark is OF i'm
portance. as the author points out,
when we consider that d complete

logical strata is competent to shed

tons that prevailed at ,he surfaces of
oceans that have long since disap-
peared. leaving no trace other than
their effect on the ancient ocean beds.

of preventing the entrance of dirt
through the open windows and Undue
ing a draft of air from the interior
to reduce the temperature in the car.
In the drawing rear view OF the de-
Hector is shown, giving an idea of the
manner of mounting it on the car. The
Dashboard is rigidly attached midway
between the windows, carrying on
either edge a narrow hinged strip
which overlaps the fitting board of
the shield. The horizontal rods which
carry, the movable shield are pivoted
In the center of the narrow strips, in
order that the latter max cover the
edge OF the shield and prevent leak
age of the cinders and dirt behind the
Shield.
The manner of mounting the shield
makes it double-acting, and to turn it
to correspond with the direction of
the train the fitting board is lifted
sufficiently to clear the bolt at the
lower end from its slot in the TRAN
gular brace, when the board will
swing free in either direction. The
dirt-laden air striking against this
shield is thrown off at an angle to the
car, and this action produces a suction
from the rear of each window to draw
the air from the interior which allows
the entrance Of fresh air through the
screened ventilators provided for the
purpose.

Unions Win Big Victory.

One of the largest concerns in AL

plumbing business, became unionized
and as a means of this a strike of over
200 building trades workmen in Wash

cal No 81 of plumbers. of Pittburg.
was notified by the firm that the I'M
tiation fee of the employees of the
Washington job would be paid and
the work continued union. The con-
tract in Washington is that OF the

Several weeks ago the structural iron
workers refused to work on the job
until the scale of the plumbers was
signed. The plumbers had already
struck and then a general strike was
ordered.

The phenomenon of a phoSphores-

rarely witnessed by others than su-
perStitious sailors that it is seldom
one finds an intelligent account of it.
The following, by the Rev. Dr. Mason
of Rurmah, is therefore of interest:
"On one occasion ] was with others

of Tavoy Point, when severe squal

much thunder and lightning, caIae on.

went up and saw what is very rarely

an appearance quite different from all
the descriptions l have read. Phipson
says: Lord Napier observed the fire
of st. Elmo in the Mediterranean, dur

Factory wage. In Japan.

The wages paid factory operators in'
Japan can hardly be comprehendedl by
Americans. but an idea may be gained
from the official records of 1898. The
daily wage of women ranged from q
cents to about 16 cents. and those OF
men from 3 to 80 cents The last named
figure, amounting to about $3.50 per
week, would be the salary of foreman:
or overseer. Even a skilled watch
maker earns but $1.25 per week. It
must be remembered, however, that
Japanese labor is not SO cheap as it
looks. for the level of efficiency is not
so high as that of the West. Japan
has now about 1880, 600 cotton opera

Organized labor in Cleveland is to
have one central body of labor, which
will include all the unions in Cuyahoga
county, and the movement is being
watched by union men in Chicago, who
believe that there are too many CEN
trail councils in existence there. 1t
is proposed to change the name OF the
Central Labor union in Cleveland to
the United Trades and Labor council,
and to establish sections in the various
crafts closely allied in the nature OF
their work. The proposition has been
submitted to a referendum vote of all
the unions. The new central body. II
the plan is adopted, will unite the Cen
trail Labor union. the Building Trades
councs> and the Longshoremen's Cen
trail Council. A committee of five from
each of the three organizations drafted
the plan of unity, which is on the lines
advocted by the American Federation
of Labor for several years-that is, to
establish trade sections instead of sep
arate councils.
