Money DATING From Ninth Century, b. C.
From Enoiish Country Lie


That money in the form Of coin. should
be a comparatively recent invention. II we
may use the word. seems too odd to be true.
But we are reminded Of the fact by the news
sent from Turkey in Asia that German
archaologist has just obtained the Oldest
coin in existence. which only dates fro
the ninth century before the Christian era.
1t was from the mint, II the expression
may be used of such an early date. of an
Aramean King of Schamol. This oldest
known coin is, we believe, about twelve
centuries older than the oldest existing book
But coins, being made OF precious metal,
are enormously durable Some of the earliest
and best coins OF the Mediterranean basin
are those Of the old Greek colony Of Szyzieus,
existing piece OF metal work OF which the
date is known is the tripod. made to celebrate
the victory Of Platea by the Greeks over
the Persians. The golden ball which II
supported is gone. But the tripod itself,
designed to initiate twisted serpents, Is still
kept in the mosque OF St. Sophia at Con-

Boley. and contains 400 law abiding negroes,

OF African colonization as a model Of con.

road company has promised to employ q
negro ticket agent and baggage master there.
so that the reputation Of the town as being
exclusively negro may be maintained.
Boley is doubtless the only town In tss
United States without any form OF gov

where not even regular Territorial laws
exist. 1t has no municipal laws. The law

A naval expert has described the sensa-
tons of one who goes down in a diving
dress for the first time. They are very
unpleasant The sense of isolation and
silence Is appalling. There is perfect still
ness except for the hiss of the air entering
your helmet at each stroke of the pump.
At four fathoms most men will feel quite
comfortable, but unless you are a regular
diver you will not be able to do ten, while
at thirteen or fourteen fathoms the nose
and ears will often begin to bleed. Your
dress clings closely and weight Expresses
your head. Your eyes begin to start.
feelings go off by degrees, but progress
is very slow-a foot or two at time is the
most you can accomplish.
But with practice the unpleasant sensa-
tions gradually disappear, until at length
the diver has no fears unless he ia In very

by the pressure.
