Arlstoeratlc Jspanese Actors.

In Japan there is an aristocracy
Of actors. None can belong to /,
unless their ancestors have been ac-
tors for many generations or they
have been adopted into great tic
atrica1 family. These professional
leaders enjoy special privileges. One
Of them is the right to advertise their
names over the doors OF the houses
where they play. But foreign Gus
toms are beginning TO affect the
stage. In Tokyo they have got the
length OF performance down TO
eight hours. though il the provinces
they still run afteen. Generally
parts of two or more different styles
of plays run on in succession. three
or four days being thus occupied in
the one series OF productions. This
is with a view of giving everybody
something to their taste

Temperaturs Of the Earth.

The temperature Of the crust Of
the earth varies so much in different
places that no fixed law has ever
been found for the downward in
crease Of the temperature, except of
local application. In the Comstock
mining region the temperature is one
degree for every twenty-eight feet,
down to 1000 feet. in the north OF
England it is one degree for forty
nine feet; in New South Wales 1t is
one degree for eighty feet; in Liepsic
it is one degree hfty-six feet; at Grass
Valley, Cal. it is one degree for 107
feet; in the copper mines of Michi-
gan one degree for 224 feet.

BOGUS PENNIES.
New Ycrk's Sub-Treasury Discovered
117,ooo of Them in 1901.

In the minor c0in division Of the
United States sub-treasury in New
York over i2.0oO,00D pennies received
there in 1901 over 1900 were counter
felt. OF the So o2G,0 600 received in minor
coins-nickels. three-cent pieces and
pcnnles-Sl.33 was in counterfeit
pieces. Although the Baltimore SUBJ

purpose Of detecting whether or not
any new counterfeits are being cireu-

~ few spurious coins find their way
into the local office Of the treasury.
About 1o,0oO,oO0 pennies IRE handled
by the local sub-treasury each year,
and Of these remarkably small per-
centage have been found of no value.
1t was stated at the sub-treasury yes
terday that the principal trouble, as
far as counterfeits are concerned, has
about 500 of these are received in n
year, and receipts of pennies have beeEl
proportionately less.
The man accustomed to the work
spots bad penny in the fraction of a
second. Counting at speed almost
too fast for the unframed eye to follow,
!, he seldom, if ever, misses one that is
off color or that lacks the sharpness of
outline in the modelling of genuine
one
The expert, however, is seldom able
TO tell you what are the things that
