Silver Currency tor Oriental
Countries.

A report has been received at the
State Department from the United
States Monetary Commission which
is investigating the question OF
currency for silver-using countries.
The commission has visited Lon
don, Paris, The Hague and Berlin
and was expecting to leave for St.
Petersburg in short time. Ac-
cording to the report the proposal
of the American Commission for a
ratio of 80 to l for new silver cur
rency for Oriental countries has
generally been well received, al
though the French Commission
suggested the ratio of 81 to l,
which is one-half OF the French
ratio ao vho present time.

FIRST Patent ll3 Years AGO.

One hundred and thirteen years
ago the United States granted its
first patent. It was issued to Sam
uel Hopkins, July 81, 1890, and it
protected his method of making
potash and pearlash.
Three patents were granted the
first year, thirty-three were grant
ed the second and eleven the third.
None of these early models sur
vived the destructive fires of 1886
and 1877. One commissioner and
an assistant, and over 1000 clerks,
are now required to transact the
business of the office.

gineers 5000 years ago to these
magnificent cities of the dead to
entomb their sacred bulls, were
resting with lids pushed aside in
these vast rock chambers, but the
bulls had been taken out, robbed
of their jewels and precious stones,
and left outside to mingle their
dust with the drifting sands of
Sahara. However, / met five or
six of them last year in the British
museum, London, where they occu-
pied glass cases, and seemed con-
tented with their lot.
The walls of the tombs of Mem
phian Kings are enriched with
painted and sculptured Inscriptions
of infinite interest to the historian
and student of archaeology. Some
of the Pharoahs had even sculptur-
ed on their tombs their favorite
dancing girls, one OF whom had
kicked the high ceiling with the
shapely toes of her left foot, and
others were doing almost as well.
Heliopolis, six miles from Cairo,
was the great University center of
the world for several thousand
years. Plato anu Herodotus
studied there. From the family of
the President of this University
the spotless son of Jacob got his
wife, the fair Asenath. Here Moses
was taught "all the wisdom of the
Egyptians" But while still preg-
nant with all the wisdom of the
world, and exultant in the pride of
her glory, Jeremiah wrote her doom.
This morning / rode over the rich
loan, rich with fields of ripening
wheat, fifteen feet above the ruins
of the proud city. All that re-
mains visible is solitary obelisk
of granite 68 feet high. Abraham
must have read the inscription on
it's sides 1000 years before the
birth of Christ. A few rods from
this shaft is the village of Matar-
riyeh, the traditional home of Jesus
and his parents during his exile in
Egypt. Nearby is an ostrich farm
where feathers are plucked from
l, 800 ostriches twice year. Some
of the birds seemed as ancient as
the obelisk, but / was assured the
oldest was only 30, and would die
in about three years.
There are $50 Mosques in Cairo.
l have entered and inspected care
fully every one of them except 448.
