It has a record price of only s5o5. but is regarded as the scareest of all Ameri- can issues by experts. who believe that If a specimen were offered for sale to- day 1t would bring 5000 at least. It is the only gold coin of American coinage struck prior to the opening of the first United States mint. This coin weigkA <1lh grains, and it's intrinsic value is about SIS There are only i've of snem known to exist.
 Tho second most valuable coin IS the haIf-eagfe of 1s22. which has record price of s21s5. This coin was bought originally by A. P. Smith for sio from q man in Wall street. New York.

THE GREEN SUN.

by the Ancient Egyptians.

BY the Ancient Egyptians.
The appearance OF a green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly so because in the
clear air OF Egypt the tlnts Of sunset
are peculiarly distinct
AS the sun there descends nearer
aud nearer to the hofizon and Is i'm,
mensely enlarged and flaming, It sud
denly becomes for an instant a bril-.
liantly green color. and Immediately a
series Of green rays suffuses the sky in
many directions, well nigh to the re-
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise, but TO a smaller extent. Some
times, just as the last part Of the suns
disk vanishes. its color changes from
green to blue. and so also after It has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often IS green, while toward the zenith
It is blue.
This was alluded TO IN Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem OF life
and night that Of death, and the noe
turnal sun, being identified with Osiris.
thus rendered Osiris king OF the dead.
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris. as the nocturnal deity OF the
dead was painted green. The splendid
cotfins OF the high priests OF Ammon
frequently depict the green sun. and
Che funeral deities are all colored
green.
There are innumerable instances IN
the Egyptian relics OF representations
