When Coins Were First Made.

Certain passages In the "Iliad" of
Homer would lead to the inference
that coins Of brass were struck as ear
ly rs 1854 B. c. Tradition affirms that
the Chinese had bronze coins as early
as 1920 B. c. But Herodotus, the fa-
Their Of history" ascribes the "inven-

nine centuries B. c.. and there is no
satisfactory evidence that coins were
known prior to that date.

CALIFORNIA REDWOOD TREES
 OLDEST THINGS IN THE WORLD

The great redwood trees of Cali fornia are said, in an annual report of the California Redwood Associa- tion, to be the oldest living things in the world Therefore it is surmised that had Noah taken his cruise in the Ark in the vicinity of California he could have moored his craft to one of the trees, awaiting the waters to subside. both because of it's age and enormous height.
 The fact that the redwood trees Is so ancient has been unearthed by re- cent scientific researches, which as certain that General Sherman,' in the Sequoia National Park, is approx imately ten thous and years old, It might thus have been this tree to serve as the hitching post for the Ark.
 It is stated that these trees con- fine their growth to the present lit teral of California, but that the older and larger species mark what was once the coast line of the Sierra Ne vada Mountain Range. Those trees began their growthbefore the ercord of man began, it is estimated by the scientists.

LEGISLATION OF INTEREST
 TO ALASKA HOMESTEADERS

Under a new ruling of the Alaska Land Office a homesteader in Alaska may now dispose of part of his hold ings by relinquishment before receiv- ing his patent without running the risk of getting into trouble with the United States authorities. This will give the original settler a chance to profit through the sale and thus de- velop his own ground and provide an opportunity for later arrival
 The announcement was made through the Land Department of the United States Railway. Prior to the new ruling a homesteader was not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of any of his holding before he ob- tained the patent to the land. To do so made him liable to charges of fraud with the possibility of losing his claim. Now he need not have thaf fear.
 Under the new ruling the home steader, locating 320 acres, is permit ted to sell his right to any part of it so that, as the country is settled, he may. finally find himself sharing his

to the amount Of $4,000, and AZ q &c.
suit the board feels that insofa. ~ this
amount Is charged against the city's

Of public improvements.
"The improvements acted upon and
submitted to you for approval lthe
paving of Richmond avenue and OF Ft.
Wayne avenue) can be completed and
kept within the. appropriation for this
year. and If It conforms to your judy
ment we would suggest that no further
improvements than what can be paid
for out of the appropriation be made.
ut might be blessing to this city
that this bond issue was made neces-
sary, as the delaying Of these improve
ments need not be for more than two
years, when by the contamination of
the plant deal, the city will have the
legal right to apply certain revenues
from the plants earnings to general
fund purposes, making it possible to
carry out these contemplated improve
ments without mourning further
bonded debt.
while we should have been glad to
have accredited to us the envious rec
ord OF putting our city in class A A,
we must surrender this credit to those
who may follow us, being contented to
have paved the way to such results.
We still favor the motorizing of the

would be we'll to STOP"
