The conductors Baton.

According to the investigations Of a
Frenchman the credit Of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopted
the baton conductors were in the habit
of pounding on the floor with their
feet or clapping their hands to mark
the time Lully found it wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
so used stick to strike the floor AMI
beat time. He used pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that it struck his
foot and made deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
and more to improve the baton. and It
was ultimately brought to it's present
form. :.

The Dwarf palm Of Algeria.

The dwarf palm, which furnishes
considerable quantities Of fiber, grows
in great profusion in Algeria and is one
Of the principal obstacles to the clear
ing of the land, so thickly does it grow
and so difficult to pull up. Its roots, in
shape resembling carrots, penetrate
into the ground to the depth of yard
or more, and when it's stem only is cut
it sprouts out again almost immediate
ly. AS its name indicates, this palm is
very small and can only attain GER
tain height when protected, as in the
Arab cemeteries, for example.

JUSTICE ABOVE THE KING
Vorwaerts Vigorously Criticises the
kaiser's Speech at the krupp
Funeral.

. Berlin, Dec. 1.-The V~orwaertG,
commenting on Emperor Williams
sneech on the day Of the funeral of
Herr Krupp at Essen, says:
while prosecution is still pending
against us and the truth is not judicial
ly ascertained, the emperor anticipates
the courts findings by pronouncing our
guilt out of hand.
rs it allowed hat the crown, at the
initiatory stage Of the pending case,
utter a verdict, thereby placing the
Judges in the painful dilemma Of either
~contradicting his majesty or subjecting
themselves to suspicion that their
Judgment vas influenced by him?
=, "Justice stands above everybody,
even above the emperor, and freedom Of
the courts is the life and nerve Of every
state.
.'phe monarchy is constitutionally
irresponsible, though In adequate an
swer TO the emperor's speech is pre-
vented through the lese majestic para
graphs"
The Vorwaerts reaffirms in moderate
language the truth Of its original
charges against Krupp and alleges it's
evidence rests or the testimony of per-
sons quite above party passion, per-
sonal interest or political hate.

a FLOOD OF COINS.
MINIS Pour Forth During the Past Year
191,4t9,5O6 Pieces,

Washington, Nov. 29.-George e.
Roberts, director of the mint, in his
annual report says that the coinage
minis at Philadelphia, New Orleans
and San Francisco We're in operation
throughout the fiscal year. In number
OF pieces the coinage Of the year, ag-
Eregating 19l ,419, SOC. has never been ex-
ceeded, but in value it has fallen from
$136, $40, ISL in 1901 to 1914, 526, 677, this be-
ing due to the greater demand for the
small denominations. Gold coinage
dropped from 500, 065, It's to SOL, $50, 572,
but the stock Of gold bullion on hand
increased from 500, 219, 49S to 1924, 0s3. 712.
The coinage Of silver dollars amounted
to SIS, 402, 500, subsidiary coins to $10,-
713. 500 and minor coins to ST. 2s, 1876.
The original gold deposits of the year
amounted to 1882, $50, S39. Gold bars
taken for export amounted to $50, 332, 67S
and for domestic consumption $14, 49,
57S.
The gross expenditure on account of
the mint service, including loss by
Wastage in operating on the metals,
was $1,910,503. The earnings from all
charges and incidental gains, exclusive
of seigniorage, aggregated $"'!.EhR. The
seigniorage realized in the manufac-
ture Of 1-cent and scent pieces
amounted to $1,919.370 and the total
seigniorage accruing on the silver,
IlCkel ana bronze COINS MADE In the
year was $11,013,S56,. which was turned
Into the general fund Of the treasury.
New Mint at Philadelphia.
The feature of the report is a de-
scription of the new mint at Philadel-
phia. The new edifice occupied during
the last fiscal year is pronounced the
finest building ever constructed for
coinage purposes and the equipment,
which is practically new throughout, Is
believed to include the most improved
machinery and to provide the most ef-
fective methods in use in coinage es-
Establishments.
The capacity of the mint at San Fran
cisco Is being increased by the intro
duction there of methods and equipment
that has proved successful at Philadel-
phia.
The director says that the increased
capacity Of the minis at Philadelphia
and San Francisco and the prospective
opening of the new iii at Denver will
give the country O much greater coin
age capacity than it heretofore has had,
while on the other hand the pressure
on the minis is about to relax instead of
increase. The coinage Of 1,500, 900 sill
yer dollars a month, now required by
law, will come to an end by the ex-
haustion Of the stock Of bullion. This
requirement now calls for the entire
capacity of the New Orleans mint.
When the dolGr coinage ceases that
mint will be die unless work is dimin-
ished at Philadelphia and San Fran.
