THE BOTTLE coNJURER.
An Old Time Hoax That Caused Rlet
In London Theater.

An Old 7 line Hoax ] nat Causeo hiVs
In London Theater.
In 174S there appeared in the newS-
papers of London an advertisement
stating that on certain night a re-
markable conjurer would perform In
the Haymarket theater. He would, the
advertisement ran, borrow common
walking cane from any member of the
audience and "thereupon play the mu-
sic of every instrument now In use."
1t was also promised that he would
take an ordinary wine bottle, place 1t
on a table In the middle of the stage,
get into it '1n the sight of all the
spectators" and sing while In 1t. In
the same issue of the newspaper was
a second advertisement announcing
the arrival of Signor Capitello Jum-
pedo, "a surprising dwarf no taller
than a tobacco pipe" who engaged to
perform with and Guido the "bottle con-
jurer," comforting himself in all man
ner of shapes and finally Opening his
mouth wide and jumping down his
own throat" This feat, not without
reason, Signor Jumpedo described as
the "most wonderfulest wonder of all
wonders as ever the world wondered
at"
The night set for this dual display
of "wonderfulest wonders" found the
theater packed from roof to pit. But
as the time passed and the curtain re-
NAMED down catealls and Kisses be-
gan to be heard. Then a man In the
pit stood up and In a calm voice an
nounced that If double prices were
paid the conjurer would get into 4
pint instead of quart bottle. At once
the audience realized that they were
being hoaxed. Somebody threw a
lighted candle into box, and this was
the signal for riot. Benches were
torn up and boxes pulled down, while
the timid rushed for the doors, with
great loss of wigs, hats, swords and
canes. Those who remained, re-en-
forced by roughs from outside, COM
pletely destroyed the interior of the
theater and finished up by dragging
the scenery into the street, where 1t
was burned In a huge bonfire. Nor
was the author of this imposture ever
discovered, although 1t was commonly
attributed either to an actor who had
been discharged or to mischievous
nobleman bent on winning a wager

A FAMOUS BANKNOTE.
The One That Cruikshank Drew and
the Crowds II Drew.


One day about the year 1918 George
Cruikshank was passing Newgate on
his way to the exchange when, seeing
crowd collected, he went forward to
learn what was the matter and saw
that 1t was the execution OF several
men and women. He was Mortified at
the spectacle and on inqulrlng learned
that the woman was being hanged for
passing counterfeit one pound notes.
He learned also that this punishment
was quite common thing, even
though the poor wretches often sinned
In ignorance, being the dupes of men
who sent them to buy some trifies and
return the change to them. Wrung
with pity and with shame, Cruikshank
went home and Immediately, under the
inspiration of his feeling, sketched
grotesque caricature of a banknote
He called It bank restriction note
not to be initiated. He represented on
1t place of execution, with spaces
about filed In with halters and mana
cles, figure of Britannia devouring
her children and transport ships bear
ing the lucky or unlucky ones who had
escaped death to Van Dieman's Land,
or Australia, while in place of the well
known signature Of Abraham Newland
was that Of ~. Ketch."
He had Just finished this when his
publisher, Hone, entered and, seeing 1t,
begged to have 1t for publication. So
Cruikshank etched it and gave 1t to
Hone, who exhibited It for sale In his
window with startling effect Crowds
quickly began to gather and purchased
so eagerly that the issue was soon ex-
hausted.
Cruikshank was kept hard at work
making more etchings. The crowds
grew so great that the street was
blocked, and the mayor had to send
soldiers to clear It. Hone realized over

METAL MONEY.
The Greeks Started Coming Long Be-
fore the Christian Era.

fore the Christian Era.
The invention of coinage Is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the bank
ers of Halicarnassos and adjacent
Asia Minor Greek colonies, who to-
ward the end Of the eighth century
B. G. began stamping the small gold
and electron ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
mark Of some sort intended to guar
antee the weight and purity Of the
metal. Such ingots very soon assumed
round and more regular shape, which
we find already In the older silver
coins from Aegina, nearly contemporary
with the Asia Minor beans"
Curious TO say, none Of the surround
ing peoples with whom the Asiatic and
European Greeks were In constant
communication, political or CONNER
cial, took up the wonderful invention
which at present seems to us of such
obvious necessity that we scarcely
realize how the civilized world of old
can ever have got ON without it. AS a
matter OF fact, however, neither the
Phoenicians, with their practical COM
mercIal sense, nor the Lydians nor the
Persians, who claimed the supremacy
over the very cities where the new
currency was Initiated nor. Of course,
the Egyptians, ever had coinage till the
conquests Of Alexander disseminated
the Greek civilization all through the
eastern world.
The Romans came to know of 1t
through the Greek cities In Sicily and
Magma Graecia and began striking sill
yer coins toward the beginning of the
third century b. G. In the meantime
with the Greeks die sinking, like ev-
erythlng else, had fallen within the
