How to Detect Base Coin.

Several cases Of making and circulat-
ing counterfeit coin have been heard
at the central criminal court during
the last few days, and at the conclusion
Of one Of the cases the foreman Of the
jury asked the authorities If they would
take a suggestion from twelve business
men who during the year had to deal
with considerable sums in silver COIN
There was, he said, a most simple test
for the detection of base coin. 1t was
to sharply cut the milled edge of a good
coin against the milled edge Of the
suspected coin. If spurious the metal
would almost Immediately begin to
shave off. After making personal test
the common sergeant said he quite
agreed with the suggestion Of the jury
as to the usefulness Of the test and
said 1t ought to be made known.-Lon-
don Queen.

ZULU WAR TACTICS.
Method OF Attack With tho Crescent
Formation.

1gethod Of Attack With tho Crescent
Formation.
Zulu military tactics are associated
with the name Of Tyaka, the ruthless
Zulu conQueror, who welded into the
stock of the Amazulu, the people of the
heavens, all the young men Of. the va
rious tribes he conquered, inc0rporat-
ing them into regiments and thus
building up a powerful military ma
ton. Yet it was to Dingisiwayo, the
wanderer, that the inceptiOR was due.
This man. the son Of the chief of the
Umtetwa, was driven into exile in con-
sequence Of an abortive plot to seize
the reins Of power.
During that exile he lived in Cape
Colony and saw the military methods
of the British. With instructive genius
he saw how the idea could be adapted
to his own nation, and on his return
and accession to the chieftainship he
divided his people into 1iments. dis
tinguishing them by names and by
special color of shield for each regi-
ment, though for time they retained
the umkomto, or throwing assagai, as
their chief weapon. He heard the
great use made by the British infantry
Of their favorite weapon, the bayonet,
and so he replaced the umkomto by the
ixwa, or broad bladed stabbing assa-
gal.
The popularity of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name of the crescent
formation for attack, and it is note
worthy that, broadly speaking, it was
the method employed by the Beers in
their invasion of Natal and adopted by
Lord Roberts in his advance through
Orange River Colony, and it was the
fear Of it's success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare it is the
head Of the stag headed beetle. Horns
are thrown out widely on either flank,
while the main body forms the head
itself. From the main body small
force is detached to engage the enemy
while the horns creep around the
TANKS.
This force in the days Of Tyaka was
frequently, dispatched with the. com
mand, go, sons Of Zulu, go and re-
turn no more" and death at the hands
Of their fellows was the fate of those
who returned. While this force was
holding the enemy the horns carried
out their task if possible, and as soon
as the two horns had met in the rear
Of the enemy the head or chest was
launched upon the position, and the
upshot was that the whole force of
the foe tasted the assagai, for in war
no quarter was given or asked.-South
African Sun.

The sachem of Pokanoket, known in
the history Of New England as King
Philip, was the youngest son of Chief
Massasoit. His Indian name was Po-
metacom, but his father was friendly
to the English colonists, who gave him
the name of Philip. His warfare upon
the settlers some fifty years after the
first landing of the pilgrims at Plym-
outh rock harassed them greatly, but
Philip was at last killed at New Hope,
and the war thus ended. The title of
king correspondent better with his Eng
lish name than the Indian title Of
sachem would have done.
