The most important industry Of In
Ola is agriculture, for the people are a
race Of farmers, and nearly two-thirds
of the masses cultivate the soil, eking
out a living SO scanty that the slight
est failure of the monsoon brings acute
distress, if not positive famine.
1t is perhaps for this reason that
India is the most god-ridden region
on earth Her deities are numbered

greater gods, every little hamlet be-

will not be hard to believe that god.

MONEY FACTS.
Little Known Points About Worlds
Medium Of Exchange.

Little Known Points About Worlds
Medium Of Exchange.
While the first actual coming OF
money is attributed to Pheidon. King
Of Argos, in S95- B. c., it must not be
supposed that there had not existed
a keen appreciation of the value and
uses Of money for centuries previous
to the introduction of coinage. The
ancient Egyptians had gold and sill
yer standard of currency, and their
money was in the form of gold and
silver ornaments, rings and nuggets,
the purchasing power of which depend
ed on the weight.
The Greeks Improved somewhat on
this system by first marking the weight
on gold and silver nuggets so that 1t
would no longer be necessary to re-
weigh them every time they were to be
used for purposes Of exchange or trade.
Then came the introduction of gold, sill
yer and copper nuggets of graded uni
form sizes and value. The next step
was the moulding and stamping of discs
made from the precious metals.
Some Of these first coins were enor-
nous, the idea apparently being to dis
courage the greedy from attempting to
accumulate and carry around too many
of them. There were copper coins as
large as dinner plates. While the idea
was based on excellent motives, it had
fo cyiu hofnro tho 6om0nd FOR
smaller and more convenient forms of
currency and the giant pennies soon
dwindled in size to meet the popular
demand
The earliest trace of the use of gold
as money is to be found in the pictures
of the ancient Egyptians weighing in
scales heaps of rings of gold and sill
ver There is no actual record, how
ever. that these rings were what may
be termed coins with a fixed value.
Iron, judging from the statement OF
Aristotle, was once extensively en-
ployed as currency. Lead has also
served as money. In fact it still does
so in Burmah.
Copper has been more widely en-
ployed as money than either of the two
last mentioned metals. The early He
brew coins were chiefly composed OF
it, while down to 26S B. C. the sole RO-
man coinage was an alloy Of copper.
Tin money was once used in England,
probably on account of the rich tin
mines of Cornwall. Early English coin
ages contained much of this tin money,
principally in the form of farthings
and halfpence.
Silver formed the basis for the early
Greek coins and was introduced in
Rome in 269 B. G. Medieval money
was principally composed Of silver.
The only other metals for money are
platinum and nickel. The former was
coined for a short time by the Russian
government, and then given up as I'M
suitable The latter is used as an al
10y and in this country for the 5-cent
piece Familiarity referred to as nick
Ell
Coined money was first used on the
continent Of Europe % years before
the Christian era. 1t was in copper
and silver Gold was not coined there
till the eleventh century, and money
did not receive the round form to
which we are accustomed until the
lapse of another hundred years or so.
