MADE IN OLD SILVER
 COINS

MANILA, P. l., July 20. - The Phil ippine government has just sold to the government of British India r. 500,OOO silver pesos at a profit of close to half a million dollars over the ori- ginal cost of the currency. The pesos when coined, each contained about thirty cents worth of silver, but the price at which they were cold was 38.6 cents.
 The phenomenal rise in the price of silver the world over some weeks ago, led officials of the insular gov, ernment to study the question of the wisdom of disposing of a part of the silver hoard which the Philippines purchased at the low prices current in 1902 and 1903. At that time this purchase was made necessary by law to secure the issuance of 34.00O,OOO pesos of paper currency (silver cer- tificates). A later law, passed Ill lSOb, permitted a large part of this issue of silver certificates to be secured by gold, but the government then had in its vaults 34.O0O,O0O silver pesos, coined at a cost of thirty cents apiece.
 Some weeks ago J. L. Manning, the insular treasurer, was sent to Hong kong to look into the silver market and to confer with officials of the gov ernment of India, then in the market for silver. The net result of his trip was the sale of about One-fifth of the governments hoard. The delivery of the silver is to be made at the Manila branch of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, in lots of a mil lion pesos. The coin is then to be transferred to India, where it is to be melted into bullion in the presence of Insular Auditor c. H. French. who is now en route to India to fulfil this duty.

Meremptah was the son of Rameses. the great. and by many is identified as the pharaoh of the oppression as described in the book of Exodus.
 The palace was discovered early in the present year, the report said. It was about 1SO feet long and loo feet wide. and contained about 20 rooms The throne room was a magnificent chamber of about 60 by 70 feet. In describing this room the museum an- nouncement said: Ut is probable that this throne room, if not the same one, is similar to the one in which Moses and Aaron confronted the pharaoh. demanding that the people of Israel be permitted to go"

Note-*Stride length is in centimet- CTS, and distance per hour is in kilo- meters.
 The Bersaglieri are able to outdis- tance all other soldiers so notably be- cause they travel very light, and carry less baggage than any other troops. The short, slow walk of the Russian is laid to the poor roads that prevail everywhere in Russia rather than to inferior marching power.
