Mexican Money.
g Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The observations of the finance minister
Of Mexico upon the future introduction of
the gold standard into that country imply
a longer delay than had recently been as
sumed Mr. Limantour is directing the
movement with a high degree of skill, aim
ing apparently at a thorough innoculation
of Mexico with the new idea before legis-
lation is attempted. In his campaign of
education he has been very successful thus
far, for the commission of domestic bust
ness interests has given general approval
of the plan. The continued fluctuations in
silver of late probably will help along the
governments project; 1t was the great fall
in the metal last year that induced Mexico
to appeal to the United States for co-opera-
ton in presenting the case to Europe. The
Mexican plan may be expected to go on to
fulfillment long before anything definite Is
done along the same lines in China. In
deed, the adoption of the gold exchange
standard by Mexico would be the most
powerful influence that could be brought
to bear upon China for the establishment
of uniform currency system. Mexico,
however. must be commended for taking
her time in carrying forward the most i'm
portant piece of economic reform in her
history.

The Coolest Known Liquid.

Liquid hydrogen is by far the coolest IL
ouid known at the present time. At ordi-
nary atmospheric pressure it boils at 400
degrees Fahrenheit. and reduction Of the
pressure by an air pump brings the tenn
perature down to .432 degrees. at which the
liquid becomes a solid. resembling frozen
foam. According to Professor Dewar, to
whom the credit is due of having liquefled
hydrogen in 1898, the liquid is colorless
transparent body, and is the lightest liquid
known to exist. it's density being only one
fourteenth that of water; the 1ightest liquid
previously known was liquid marsh gas
which is six times heavier. The only solid
which has so small density as to float upon
its surface is piece of pith wood.
