Astronomical.

Some curious and interesting astro-
nomical phenomena are recorded In
the old Chinese annals which go back
to a great antiquity In 6S7 b. Z. a
night is mentioned without clouds and
without stars. This may perhaps re-
fer to total eclipse Of the sun. but
if so the eclipse is not mentioned in
the Chinese list of eclipses. In the year
al B. C. it is stated that the sun and
moon appeared of a deep red color dur
ing five days, a phenomenon which
caused great terror among the peo-
Pile. In "a B. c. it is related that a
star as large as the moon appeared
and was followed in it's motion by sew
eral stars of ordinary size. This
probably refers to an unusually large
bolide, or fire ball. In 80 B. q. a fall
of meteorc stones is recorded.

Mexico's National Pawnshop.

One of the most remarkable institu-
tons in the City of Mexico is the Mon
tie de Piedad, or national pawnshop.
The monte is one Of the oldest build
ings in the capital, having been built
for the private residence of Cortes in
1920. and it has been fortunate enough
to escape the hands Of restorers. 1t
was acquired in 1744 by Count Gle Reg
la Terreros, who laid out 100000 in
organizing the Monte de Piedad. with
the idea of saving the needy from the
usury of the ordinary pawnbroker. Its
success is attested by its long history.
and Mexicans today can get one-thlrd
value on their goods at rate of inter-
est seldom exceeding 3 per cent per
annum. If any one fails to keep up
his payments the deposited goods are
sold. and any balance over the sum
advanced is handed to the depositor.

Noble and the Canal Locks.

Alfred Noble rendered unique en-
gineering service TO the United States
at il critical moment He prevented it
from making the h.under of building Il
sen level canal at the isthmus.
All the foreign engineers and three
OF the American engineers united in a
maturity report advising the construc-
ton OF il sea level canal. Five Ameri-
can engineers. with Mr. Noble ut the
head, stood out in favor of Il lock canal.
We say Mr. Noble at the head be-
cause from his long experience in con
net ton with the lock at Sault Ste.
Marie he was better able than any en-
gineer upon the commission to speak
authoritatively with respect to the con-
struction and operation of great ship
canal locks. To Alfred Mobiles discern
ing wisdom and Independent judgment
and TO his willingness to stand in mi
norty in defense of what he believed to
be right the country owes it today that
it did not undertake what we now
know would have been the folly Of a
sea level canal at Panama.-Engineer.

The First Gold Certificate.

Piracy on the Mediterranean caused
the creation of the first gold certificate.
according to most authentic records.
Rome bought wheat in Egypt while
Egypt had to pay tribute money for
the maintenance of the Roman army.
To ship gold for these payments was
to tempt the ingenious pirates who in
tested the eastern Mediterranean. 1t
was probably some able money lender
who thought Of the scheme of having
the wheat importer take his gold to
the Roman bank. which had branch
in Alexandria. and getting certificates.
which the pirates would not dare go
into Alexandria to attempt to cash.
The Egyptian tax collector got his GER
tificate from the Alexandria bank and
sent it to Rome. where it was honored.

not eaten in great quantities by the
class of people WHO make the great
fruit-buying population in the United

Japanese family of four is about $3.50

LIFE IN THE LONG AGO.
When Huts Were Homes and Beds
Were Shakedowns of Straw

WCTS 0uaNCQOWHS VI 0At 0W
For centuries the common people of
England made their home in wooden
huts of one room. When family in
creased in numbers or wealth another
hut was built beside it, or rather. a
lean-to was added and then another
and another. us need required.
Sometimes they followed a straight
line. At other times they were built
out from the central hut at various an
giles. The roofs of these hutS were
matched. An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
fire was always built in a hollow in the
center of the room. Beds were made
of straw Often they were merely
shakedOwns in the corner. Occasion
ally the straw was held in a little
frame resembling the ribs Of ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were big
halls. like the Roman atrium. with a
lofty roof matched with slate or wood
shingles. The floor was of hard clay.
In the middle was a great fire of dry
wood The thin. acrid smoke from the
fire escaped through an opening in the
roof directly above the hearth.
Round the fire were long benches. or
which hearthsmen and visitors sat
when not fighting or at work. and talk
ed and drank the hours through. The
tables were long boards on trestles. Al
night the floor was strewn with straw
and. like the less prosperous folk. host
and visitors slept together. - Youths
