Coin From Alexander's Dav,

In the side Of an old we'll. where 1t
had lain undisturbed for 1900 years,
an earthenware jar containing 500
pieces Of the time Of Alexander the
Great has been found. says the Scien-
tifc American. One hundred Of these
were specimens of the silver tetra-
drachm of Alexander the Great, a coin
corresponding in weight to our half
dollar. The pieces are very thick and
are made of silver of great purity.
The diverse bears the head Of Her
cules in a lions skin. The reverse
shows Zcus seated in a chair. All
bear the name of Alexander in Greek
M~onograms and mint marks of great
interest We're found on many pieces OF
this lot, and some of the pieces bore
the Greek word for the mint marks,
designating the towns or cities where
they We're struck. The coins are all in
very high relief. SO that only two or
three could be stacked together with
out their tumhling yer. The find was
made at Luxor.

The "Angel of
The Crimea" at
Lightweight,

HE Crimean war seems almost
as far away in the past to the
rising generation in this cpun-
try as the war of the American
Revolution, yet there are some still !iv-
ing who participated In it. Among
them is Florence Nightingale, whose
deeds of mercy and heroism will live
in history along with the charge of the
famous Light brigade. The fact that
Miss Nightingale is still in the land Of
the living was recently called TO at
tention in a conspicuous manner b.,
the gracious act of King Edward VII.
In decorating her with the Order OF
Merit. This order was founded IN
June, 1901, 10y King Edward VII, and
its cross is given for distinguished
services in war. 1t has given uni
versal satisfaction that the first WON.
an to receive this high honor should
be the d who founded the science OF
nursing as practiced in connection with
war and whose labors for the wounded
and sick amid the horrors of the bat
tlefield have placed her among the fore.
most of the worlds heroines.
The insignia of the Order OF Merit
were taken to Miss Nightingale by
Colonel Sir Douglas Dawson on behalf
Of the king. She was unable to re.
ceive the royal envoy, but dictated the
following message:
Miss Florence Nightingale desires
to express to his majesty her gratitude
for the honor he has done her by gra
ciously appointing her to the Order of
Merit. She feels keenly what honol
1t Is to be associated with the distin.
guished men who are already member.
of the order"
Miss Nightingale was some years
ago admitted as Lady Of Grace Of TIL
noted Order of st. John of Jerusalem.
an order introduced into England dur
ing the twelfth century. She will DC
lightweight years old in May next
and has long been an invalid, but has
nevertheless retained her interest in
nursing as a profession and in the in.
situations and societies with which she
has been connected. She was about
eighty when the Boer war broke out.
but the British government sought her
advice In respect to the care of the
sick and wounded in its army In South
Africa, and she exerted herself to the
utmost In their behalf.

posts which are affixed to the rubber

panying Illustrations. In the case is a

when it automatically turns to a bright
red, going back to white again when
the passenger is landed.
Under the old system when the
breeches buoy was sent out to a wreck
1t was often hauled back to the shore
by the life savers before 1t had reached
its destination. Now the position of
the breeches buoy will always be
known to those on shore and IN the
wreck. The green light moving toward
the vessel mutely tells the shipwreck-
ed passengers that help is at hand ana
encourages them to hold on until the
buoy reaches them. AS oon as one of
the imperiled mariners gets into the
hreechcs the red light signals to those
on land to haul the passenger ashore,
Signaling is further provided for 10y a
rocket discharged by the same methoi
which shifts the lights in the buoy
