At the rate of four ions a day the
British mint has been turning out cop
per coins in an attempt to cope with
the famine In pence In London and
other centers. This stringency all
ways becomes most acute toward the
end of each quarter. Nearly all the
English gas companies have adopted
the penny-in-the-slot system of selling
gas. The automatic meters are emptied
at the end OF each quarter. The
illumination is shown by the fact that
during 1907 pennies weighing 1886 IONS
