About Star Points on Coins.

Few people. with the exception OF
coin collectors, notice such minor de.
tails, but 1t Is rather interesting fact
20 note that on one side of some OF
our coins the stars have five points.
as upon the flag. while on the other
side the stars have six" an official
OF the Washington mint recently re-
marked.
In English heraldry," he contin.
ued. "a correct star had six or more
points-usually six When designs
for the first American coins we're
made the heraldic usage was followed
and the stars given six points. The
flag of the nation was made up very
largely from the coat OF arms of the
Washington family, In which, for
some reason, the stars have but five
points.
ION the diverse of our present
quarter and half dollar the stars, 13
in number, are six pointed, while on
the reverse they are FIVE pointed. This
difference is due TO the fact that
the reverse Of these coins is simply a
copy OF the great seal of the United
States. except that the clouds are
omitted. On the great seal and on
the seal of the president the stars
are FIVE pointed. while the seal OF
the house OF representatives shows
six pointed stars"

river with a personality. habits dis.

Missouri, says writer in the Amer.

This thing happened in Kansas City
not many years ago; A party of men
owned strip Of land along the Mis-
souri, river bank. It was not hand

tory purposes. They were offered
portly prices for Il, but held on
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held a
hurried diagnosis with a surveyors

been washed away The next year
half of the remainder had gone

the market seemed remarkably slug

vigorously that only tiny strip about
as wide as a piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men were much depressed
Suddenly the land began to In
crease. The Missouri had chosen the
late manufacturing site for a place to
deposit a fine 160-acre farm upon
which It had foreclosed up the river
Inside OF six months that strip OF
land contained 200 acres. The men
were jubilant. but still they would
not sell.
They wanted another 100 acres
they said. They strolled along the
bank each day and urged the river
in proprietary tones. TO build faster
Then the river changed it's mind
once more and not only wiped out the
extra 100 acres but the original 100
acres. every foot of IT, The next year
