in the opinion OF rear admiral Francis
T. BOwles, retired. formerly chief con-
strUctor of the United States navy. who
arrived last night on the steamship
Rotterdam from a two months stay in
Germany.
Rear admiral Bowles expressed the
belief that German vessels disguised as
neutral craft and not under sea bases,
were utilized to supply submarines
with fuel and t0rpedoes, which he
thought explained the ability of the
German under sea fighters to reach
the Irish sea and return to their bases.

The Mines OF Spain.

More than one-third of the quick
silver produced in the world last year
came from the mines OF Spain. Those
mines we're worked centuries before
Christ, and they seem good for cen
turtles more. other quicksilver sup
plies are discovered. exploited for a
time. and exhausted. but no bottom
has been found to the veins of Spanish
cinnabar.
Many high authorities hold that other
mineral resources OF Spain are quite
as splendid in proportion as her su-
premacy in the production of mercury.
Spanish iron ore is sometimes shipped
TO the United States. yet the mines are
said to be worked in very clumsy.
ineffective fashion. II is even claimed
that the coal supplies OF the peninsu-
"a are superior TO those OF any other
part Of the continent. but these. again.
are managed in careless. indolent.

Believed to Be Currency Used by
Tribes Before the Era of the
Roman Empire.

Peasants plowing a field in the COM
mune of Castelfranco DELI Emilia. in
Italy, in the year 1897 turned up big
Umbrian vase full of aes-signatum.
which Is ancient money marked with
sign, supposedly that OF tribe. There
were in all SO pieces. all covered with
the characteristic patina Of bronze
that has been buried for ages.
The aes-sjgnatum of the early Ro-
mans is not very rare. but only one
other find of this far more ancient
money has been made. This was at
Fiesole, near Florence, but unfortu'
nately the finders had no idea of its
value or rarity and all of it was melted
down for bronze founder except one
single specimen. There is not one
specimen In the British museum and
very few other museums have any.
How old this money is we can only
guess. The best authorities say 1t is
pre-Roman. probably the money Of the
Italic tribes that, If not aboriginal. In
habited southern Europe about 1000
b. c. There has been much contro-
versy over this money, and there are
few archeologists who even deny
that II was real money. Each piece
is of solid bronze and bears on its
surface figure which is supposed to
be the sign of the tribe to which 10
belonged.

Among the old miners of Sisikyou

the gold-diggers of that section, and
that faith is accepted as orthodox, says

Regularly every Christmas Billy X,
foreman OF the Orc Fino mine. takes
his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once
