Name of the ~poaaer Bank,

The Dogger Bank has long been care fully protected, because in the shallow
 waters that surround it there is the finest fishing that is to be found any where near the English coast. The wide stretch that shelves down to a depth of only 12O feet is the largest sand bank in the North sea, and in by gone times it was claimed by both Holland and Denmark. The name has nothing to do with the geological for nation of which the sand bank is con- posed. "Dogger' is sandy, iron i'm pregnated stone that is well known to the geologist.

Money In .n,na and Eayp..

Coins were made in China so long ago. it is said, as the year 225o B. C., but they could not have been other than portions of metal cast into porta- ble shape, such as were all the earliest moneys. Ill Egypt, the cradle of civili- zation and commerce, strange to say, there was no imperial coinage. Copper, silver and gold were used, but they wefe manufactured into Jumps, shaped sometimes like brick, and ill the ease of gold and silver were nodded in rings, like the ancient Irish money of ten centuries ago. It appears almost in- conceivable that people who created the pyramids and erected such mag nificent temples should have been en- tirely ignorant of coins. Yet it is cer- tain from the statements of Herodo- tus that such was the case.

MoRGANToWlN, May 1S.-That
West Virginia is slowing assuming the
leadership among the forty-eight
states Of the union in the way of per-
manent road building Is shown by a
comparison Of the states in respect to
money appropriated.
In round numbers, there has been
appropriated in this state since 1912
the sum OF $1O.00O.OoO, or s9,365 900,
to be exact. The greater portion of
this sum has already been spent in
building improved and permanent
highways, while the remainder is now
being used to accomplish that purpose.
In addition, the total sum of $5,495 900
will possibly be spent or will be voted
upon within the near future in differ
ent counties and districts OF the state.
In other words, bond issues aggregat-
ing the latter amount will be voted
upon before summer. Should Sill of the
bond issues now pending pass the total
sum spent and provided for good road
purposes in West Virginia will be S15.-

to the accomplishment OF telephone
transmission of speech over vast dis
tances." The award to Prof Richards
was made in recognition OF his nu-
merous and important contributions to
inorganic. physical and theoretical
chemistry, and particularly his classi-

A special tax on gasolene and n

dent Wilson in his annual message
asa means of remedying the treasury
deficit. He also proposed an addi-

Speaker Clark has from the first
been open and determined in his op-
position to an additional stamp tax.
Other influential members OF Con-
gress have. furthermore, opposed any
tax on gasolene and gasolene engines.
As consequence, Mr.. Wilson has had
to; devise some new method of taxa
ton, and to this end has proposed a
material increase OF the income tax,
the imposition OF an Inheritance tax
and a special tax on the manufacture
of munitions of5war. The proposition
has been made Informally, thus far,
as Mr.. Wilson is anxious to learn
IL the Democrats in Congress will
stand for these new taxes before he
commits himself to them publicly,
He Is convinced that all Of these tax
es will be popular. and that their i'm.
