NONE SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage MIDDLE and the
Range of Units of Value.


Twenty-siX different monetary units
are used by the forty-cight principal
countries of the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling. France and six other countries
of Europe use unit equal to the
franc and Canada and the United
States use the dollar
In value these different units range
from A to 49i.33 cents of money of
the United States. They are represent
ed in their turn by coins the values of
which are either multiple or fractional
parts of the value of their own chief
units. and there are no doubt Mt least
200 such sufficient coins not one of
which seems to have Il value equal to
that Of any commonly known unit of
weight, as the gram, for example, or
the ounce of gold, although forty three
of these fOrty-cight countries have &C
ccpted gold as their standard measure
OF values
This lack of logical relation of coins
TO any widely used unit of weight of
| the precious metals may be due to the
| fact that money systems seem to have
| grown up haphazard. under diverse
conditions of life in different parts of
| the world
Such diversity in moneys may have
| been of little moment when millions of
| people spent their lives knowing moth
| ing of the existence Of other millions
and there was little traffic. But these
| differences in monetary units are of
| Importance now that international
| commerce includes millions of tons of
products of the toll of all lands and
billions of dollars each year to settle
| its bills, for such differences put upon
trade wholly unnecessary tax. No
| account Is made here of the burden
laid on domestic trade by like varia-
ton in the value of such units at home,
as of the tael of China, which has six
teen different values within that en-

"oIs Hundred" scares Birds.

1t is a strange but well authenticat-
ed fact that the wild creatures of the
woods dislike the sound of that solemn
hymn "Old Hundred" Muir, the nat
uralist, proved the truth of this by
singing it In the woods of the Sierras
to the birds and squirrels, which were
very tame from never having been
frightened by the report of n gun or
other alarming sound. They would
come and sit near him upon the
branches of trees and listen to any
lively tune he might sing, blinking
their bright eyes as though they liked
it, but at the FIRST sound of "Old Han-
bred" they would beat quick retreat
to their holes or nests and never ap.
pear again until he changed the tune
This experiment was made in different
places on various occasions with ex-
actly the same result.-New York Her
