Thinos Japanese.

Ten years ago Japan exported $3.50
worth of cotton crepe to the United
States. but now tn. ngure is $4,000
yearly. Japan's total export Of crepe
is worth $235,000 yearly.
Japanese silk has fine future in

more scrupulous as to the quality of
the silks they send there.

East war began.
In August, 1904, Japan exported ST.
100000 worth of manufactured silk
tissues, against $1,10O,O00 worth in
August, 1908, an increase of 100000.
There was also an increase of $4,000
in the expectation of silk handker-
chiefs. Japan's total exports in Aug
ust, 1904, were of the value of $14,-
87S, 900, against $15,547000 in August,
1908. Such a small decrease, 100000,
in time of war is surprising. Tie fall

Japan's imports in August, 1904,
amounted to $14,221 GOO. against $751;
731 900 in August, 1903, a decrease Of
only $1,510,00O This is another sur
prising result for war times. The de-
crease was mainly raw cotton, ST.
100000, against $2,9OO,OOO, falling off
of 100000. Sugar also decreased

The ArtlfIclaI Diamond.

The reward of the inventor who can
produce artificial diamonds is so
tempting that the Moisson expert
ments with the electric furnace, which
were inaugurated some eight or ten
years ago, have been continued until
the present day. They are now being
carried on in the laboratory Of the
Sorbonne, in Paris, with ever-ncreas-
ing success. The first diamonds made
by the electric furnace were of micro
scopic size and few in number. III
fact, they were SO minute and unCom'
mon that it took a great deal of re.
peated experimenting to secure enough
specimens to demonstrate beyond
doubt that the brilliant crystals were
actually diamonds. AS the work con.
tinued various notifications were
worked out, as the experience of the
investigators became greater, until
now success seems imminent. The
crystals are positively known to par
take of all the characteristics of the
diamond in crystalline structure, hard
ness and chemical composition, as
demonstrated by combustion expert
ments. The largest crystal yet OBJ
tanned is only one-half millimetre in
length, and while this is only spark,
it indicates that the process is ca
pable of yielding diamonds of good
quality, and that some day in the not
distant future the laboratory processes
of Mother Nature, as exemplified in
The Rand, may be duplicated in

was struck. bearing the same obese
Goddess of Liberty on the face, but a
genuine eagle on the back. The lat
ter is the familiar spread eagle" of
our Government seals and stamps,
bearing upon its breast the shield,
with the Stars and Stripes; in its left
claw sheaf of arrows, and in the
right laurel wreath.
One can readily imagine mat an
eagle must have been pretty bad for
the people of 1895 (who wore powder
ed wigs and took snuff to have found
fault with it. and so it was; but wnen
our forefathers improved in this mat
ter they did very well indeed, and the
spread eagle Of 1897, with outstretch-
ed wings and bearing in it's bill the
E Pluribus Unum scroll, which result
ed from their efforts, has endured
from that day to this.
In the 1897 $40 piece the thirteen
stars were changed from the face to
the back, where they have ever since
remained. It was not, however, until
the year 1866 that the motto of In
God We Trust" was placed above the
eagle, and beneath the thirteen stars,
upon the American gold and silver
coins.
Until 1849, when gold was discover
ed in California, the United States
Government coined no gold pieces
higher than $40; but along toward
the latter part of 1S49 one $40 gold
piece was struck by way of expert
ment. Only this single $40 gold piece
was at that time struck, and it is to-
day the only 1S49 double eagle in the
world 1t reposes in the mint at Phil
adelphia. and although collectors have
offered large sums for it, the Govern
ment has refused to part with it. In
the year following, 1850, the Govern
rent turned out a large number OF
double eagles, which it has kept up
ever since. The handsomest OF the
gold coins issued by the American
Government is undoubtedly the So
gold token issued during the period
from 1854 to 1889. This is the coin
which bears on it's face the bust OF
an Indian princess, which, despite the
fact that it is artistically perfect, is
ethnologically incorrect, for the rea-
son that the princess wears a head
dress of ostrich plumes, bird indig-
enous to South Africa, and with which
the aborigines were not at all famil
iar.-W Washington Post.

AMERICAN GOLD COINS.
The First $40 Piece Dates From 1895
and $50 FrYm 184o.

me FIRST 8lU FleCe DdteS- from 1870
and $50 Fr3m 1849.
Some people entertain the notion
that the American Government began
the coinage of gold and silver cur
rency in 1776; but this is a mistake,
for at that time and for some years
after the currency oE this country
consisted entirely of scrip. The first
copper pennies were coined in 1898,
the first silver in 1894, and in the
year following the first gold coins
($10 pieces were struck by the Amer
lean Government. Today these gold
coins are exceedingly rare and worth
their face value several times over.
They are Of exactly the same size as
a modern silver half dollar, and on
first glance one is tempted to believe
that they contain more gold than the
mdoern $40 gold coins, but a careful
comparison of the two reveals the
fact that there is no difference as to
weight. The difference lies in the
fact that the modern $40 gold piece
is very thick, whereas the first coins
minted in 1895 are exceedingly thin.
The latter bears on it's face a Dust
of the Goddess Of Liberty, altogether
unlike the lady which one encounters
on modern American coins. She is
big and fat and snub-nosed, and her
Phrygian cap is of such size and
shape and worn in such peculiar
manner that she looks more like a fat
Dutch frau, wearing sunbonnet,
than she does like the presiding gen
ms Of a great Nation. Over the head
of the portly divinity are the thirteen
stars representing the States Of tue
infant republic.
On the back Of this coin there is
what purp5rts to be an eagle, holding
in it's talons an olive branch and in
it's beak wreath of laurel That is
all. The eagle was so atrocious, how
ever, and looked so much more like
a buzzard or a fly-up-the-creek than II
did like the monarch OF the air, that

He said that in his boyhood days ne

that he was makng fine progress. The
school was to have public exhibit

fathers mouse one Sunday to prepare
for it. The old gentleman, after

WHAT HORSE POWER" is
POOR LITTLE ME-.

What is the relative amount OF
work that man can do in comparl-
son with. a horse or machinery? Al
mis- very best the strongest man
stands in pretty poor comparison
even with horse, for hard, contln'
uous labor. He might perform Tor a
few minutes one-half horse power OF
work, but to keep this up for any
great length Of time would be impos-
gible.
Thus the gain in forcing horses to
do a part of the worlds work was
enormous. One horse could exhaust
a dozen men in a single day, and still
be ready for the next days work.
The measurement of a horses pow
er for work was first ascertained by
Watt, the father of the modern steam
engine, and he expressed this IN
terms that hold today He expert
mented with a great number OF heavy
brewery horses to satisfy himself that
his unit of measurement for work was
cos,rect. After many trials he ascer-
tanned that the average brewery
horse was doing work equal to that
required to raise $50 pounds of weight
one hi ndred feet high in one minute,
or thirty-three thousand pounds one
foot in one minute. So he called this
one-horso power.
This wcrk, however, not contin-
uous, for the morse would have to
back up after each pull to lower the
line of the pulley, and thus he would
work four hours a day in pulling $50
pounds in the air at the rate OF one
hundred feet minute, and four
hours in Stacking up ,Ae rope. Con-
sequently no horse can actually peg
form continuously what is generally
called one-horse power. The horse
was never born that could tug at a.
rope for eight hours day, pulling 800
pounds one hundred feet each minute,
without a rest or change. Conse-
quently, when We speak Of horse
power, we refer only to the average
work a horse can do in one minute,
that is to say, the rate at which he
can work.
A strong man might pull half that
weight one hundred feet in the air IN
two minutes, but he could not repeat
the operation many times without be-
ing exhausted.
For all needful purposes the express
sion of one-horse power is accurate
enough, and practically shows the
measurement of an average horses
abilities for working. AS a rule a
strong man can in eight hours work
at the rate of about one-tenth of one
Iasrse power; that is, it would require
ten men to pull $50 pounds one hun
dred feet in the air in minute, and
then slack up and repeat the opera
ton throughout the eight hours of a
working day. The worlds gain in
labor when horses were first employ
ed to help man in his work was then
tenfold. George Ethelbert Walsh, IN

THE MOON AND THE WEATHER.

The moon is the most powerful
agent in producing the tides on the
earth; it also produces some slight
variations in the earth's magnetism.
So far as science has been able to in
vestigate, there is absolutely no
change in the weather which can be
attributed to the moon, although half
or more of mankind seem to believe
that the neon does have some con-
troll over the weather. Al such be-
liefs, including the sme for planting
gardens and for going fishing, are
mere superstitions-th survivals of
an age of ignorance.-St. Nicholas.

 Inspection of the section of track near the Norwich Town station, on which the Central Vermont train was derail- ed Monday afternoon, fails to show con ciusively the cause of the accident.

The condition of all the injured yesterday morning was satisfactory, and no lasting results are expected.

NEW FORK STOCK MARK ET.
Dull and Apathetic Trading Marked the
 Session.

SsE#@ sG Session.
 New York, Aug. 2.--Dull and apathet- ic trading marked the session to-day, and the movement or prices was SO sluggish as to be of little importance. The fiutter of prices was intermittent ly upwards and downwards, and was part of the time above and part of the time below last nights closing level. Buying for London account was fac tor in the first hour here, and helped to absorb the light profit taking. The foreign markets seemed to be but little affected by political or military events. A sharp reaction in Metropolitan Street Railway from yesterdays strength was the early feature here and was easily traceable to the denial of President Belmont of yesterdays rumors that the Interborough company was seeking the control of the Metropolitan system. southern Pacific seems to enjoy a be- lated advantage from yesterdays re- ports of large steel rail purchases for the Hartman system, while Union Pa cif1c was subjected to profit taking. Pennsylvania made no response to the June earnings statement, which show ed the continued fall in gross earnings
