How the Ancient= Tested the Purity

The first coins or gold and silver that
have come down to us are now dated

lived about the middle of the sixth
century Il. &.
1t may readily be imagined that
mere lump of gold, supposed TO be of
certain weight, would be subject to
skepticism unless 1t were guaranteed
by some recognized authority. SO. IN
order to save reweighing and testing
at each transaction. these ingots or
coins were stamped with the nuthorita-
tive mark of prince or state. So
stamped they become the true coins
I'm spite of the fact that. contrary to
modern custom. they We're not ut all
regular.
But, IN spite of the guarantee that
might be afforded by the mark of
state or prince, we find the Greeks
applying certain tests to determine the
genulneness of the currency offered to
them. Plating was easily detected by
jubblng the suspected coin with some
sharp instrument. At other times the
touchstone was used One which was
known as the "Lydian stone" was sup
posed TO reveal II proportion of foreign
metal as small rs II barley corn In q
slater. Another test, In the case OF sill
yer, was to polish the coin and then
breathe ON It. If tho moisture quickly
disappeared the metal was pure. Yet
another way to detect alloy was to
heat the coin or coins on redhot iron.

THE WHALES SENSES.
Ability of the Fonder0us Animal tn
Hear Under Water.


Hear Under Water.
1t seems perfectly evident that
whales must hear when IN the water.
says the London Field This Inference
Is confirmed by the comparatively
small development of the other SENSE
small and can be of little use even at
the comparatively small depths In
which whales are now believed To de
scend.
Again, the sense of smell Judging by
the rudimentary conditions of the oil
factory organs, must he in allegiance,
and whales have no sense organs com
parable To the lateral line system of
fishes. Consequently Ii would seem
that when below the surface of the wa
ter they must depend chiefly upon the
sense of hearing. Probably this SENSE
Is SO highly developed as 10 enable the
animals In the midst OF the vibrations
made by the screwllie movements of
the tail OF tlukes to distinguish the
sound tor vibrations made by the i'm
pact of the water against the rocks
even in n dead calm, and, In the ease
of pisclvorous species, to recognize by
the pulse in the water the presence of
shoal fish
Failing In this explanation, II Is diff
cult TO imagine how whales can find
their way about in the semidarlsness
and avoid collisions with rocks and
