II had experienced hard usage.
"Can you read the date and the in
scription?" inquired the collector.
The visitor inspected the specimen;
but. although he had the aid of mag

words and figures were illegible.

marked Going to the kitchen range,
he thrust an ordinary coal shovel into
the fire and permitted it to remain
there until red hot. Withdrawing It,
he dropped the coin on the utensil, and
ii speedily became as red hot as the
shovel itself. Immediately the date
1894, shone brightly in glowing figures
on the diverse side of the coin. and
similar treatment revealed the words

TO the numismatist, seldom fails with
any coin even when the inscriptions
have been worn so perfectly smooth
that they are invisible to the naked
eye.-1New York Press.

"Cataut" From SiIkworms.

Probably but a small percentage of
the fishermen who use flies strung
with fine translucent "catgut" are
aware that the almost unbreakable
substance that holds the hooks against
the fercest struggles of the struck fish
comes from silkwOrms.
The principal center of the manu-
facture of this kind of catgut is the
island of Procida, in the bay of Ma
pies, but most of the silkworms en-
ployed are raised near Tore Annun-
ziata, at the foot of yesuvius. The
caterpillars are killed just as they are
about to begin the spinning of cocoons.
the silk glands are removed and sub
jected to a process of picking, which
is n secret Of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women.
The length Of the thread varies from
a foot to nearly twenty inches.-Sci-
