Coinage Record Broken.

San Francisco, April 4.-The coin
age of gold at the mint in this city
begun last February was concluded
last week. Superintendent Leach said
regarding the coinage:
THE mint has undoubtedly broken
all records for gold coinage since the
use of money began in civilization.
The amount coined this month reached
the enormous sum of $33 500. an
average of more than 81 100000 a day,
in fact, the deliveries to the superin-
tendent from the coming department
during the last four days averaged ST.
$4,000 per day. This, with the sum
of $21 1.5s0,0O0 coined in February
makes a total OF s54,693 800. In weight
this amount would make more than
40 tons, or little more than four
big carloads of twenty-five tons each.
"A research of books and records
pertaining to coinage matters fails to
show any account of coinage exc
cuted in the same length of time equal
to this in any of the other nations of
the world"

Russian Battle Lines Drawn.

New York. April 4.-Russia is draw
ing up her battle line along the Yalu
and all dispatches Indicate that along
the banks of the river will be fought
very soon the first decisive battle of
the war.
At Viii 1000 Cossacks and infantry
men were reported entrenched yester-
day. while the rapid advance of the
Japanese forces emphasized the fact
that the great armies are drawing
within striking distance.
In European capitals great interest
was manifested yesterday in the role
being played by King Edward who in
his neutrality proclamation presented
unmistakable evidences of his desire
for peace. Russia was particularly
pleased with his utterances, while 9TH
er powers saw in his words the possi-
bility of his becoming mediator in
the Far Eastern struggle.
China, through her minister at st.
Petersburg has notified Russia that
sne will remain strictly neutral.

wrote of the changed plans made nee
essary by the naval successes OF
Japan at the outset of the war. Details
were added concerning the makeup of

way of ridding the country of japanese

Disease Caused by Sunlight.

While the rays of the sun possess a
stimulating and beneficial effect in
disease and can be used with advant-
age as therapeutic agent. yet, az
cording to recent Investigations. they
also may act injuriously and cause dis
ease. That there is a difference in the
therapeutic value between the actinic
rays, or those located at the violet end
oil the spectrum, and the red rays was
appreciated by Finsen and the former
were used in the treatment Of such
skin diseases as lupus vulgaris or tu-
berculosis of the skin. while the latter
were found effective in cases OF small
pox. One of the most recent re
searches in this department is by Pro
fessor Fermi, and is given in a late
number of the Archiv fur Hygiene. In
these experiments a large number OF
human subjects were exposed to direct
sunlight for varying periods, and in a
large percentage Of cases it was found
that there resulted the following set
of symptoms: cephalagia theadachc).

weariness, slight conjunctiYitis. dry
ness of the lips, fever. pseudo infiu-

this list Of symptoms experienced by
his patients and from the observed co

concludes that exposure to the suns
