POSTAGE STAMP TIPS SCALES
Weighs ThistIedown or 400-Pound
Gold Bar With Equal Ease.

In the bullion room of the Bank
of England stands the grand bal
ance. 1t is a machine, says a con-
tributor to Pearson's Weekly, that
was constructed primarily for testing
light gold coins.
Standing approximately seven
feet high and weighing nearly two
tons, this wonderful piece of mechan-
ism can weigh a piece of thistledown
or a 400-pound gold bar with equal
accuracy.
Before being used it always has to
be carefully busted; for otherwise
the dust that has settled upon it even
in the course of few minutes, al
though invisible to the naked eye,
would cause it to register inaccurate
ly. So responsive is the machinery
that a postage stamp placed on one
of two weighing portions moves the
index six inches.
After the new English currency
notes were issued the grand balance
was kept busy virtually day and
night weighing the gold coinage that
was called in and replaced by notes.
1t has now been found that the total
loss of gold owing to the abrasion of
the coins as they passed from hand
to hand, in the course of circulation,
amounts to nearly $5,OO0,O0O.
That, however, is not quite SO
alarming as it sounds, for the loss is
spread over a period of 25 years.

to the present time. Twenty-Five
years is reckoned to be the legal

AMID TORRENT OF HER0ISM
Great European War Has Been Diff

Conflicts of the Past.

We have no hero, Gin the great
European wary, but a superabun-

Low, in Fortnightly Review. We
live, as H. G. Wells says, amid tor
rent of heroism. But it is the hero
ism of the common unregarded hui
man being, the man who was just
food for powder or food for pixies ip
the olden wars. 1t may be that in
the multitudes who dimly trailed
through the battles and the marches
and the mud and blood of the cam
paigns Of the past there were soldiers
as brave, as loyal, as g generous IS
those who have been sent forth these
three years past from the cottages
and mean streets of Europe. 1t may

The historic muse, gathering her
skirts about her as she trips daintily
over their plebeian bodies, treats
them only as an entry in her cata-
logue. So many thousands of their
corpses, she notes coldly, left to fes-
ter on the field so many dragged off
to prison or to slavery; so many, it
may be, butchered in the market
square or built up alive into the
walls of the fortress.

CHAPTER viii.
Romance Comes.

Sometimes, MethOdists, or Presbyte-
oe-we are irresistibly impelled to the
conclusion that things were simply
pound to happen! However slight the
,ause-still that cause was predestined
from the beginning Of time. A girl
may by the sheerest accident step
from the street car block ahead Of
ler destination-an irritating accident.
But as she walks that block she may
meet an old-time friend, and stranger.
And that stranger-ah, you can never
convince the girl that her stepping
from the car too soon was not ordered
when the foundations of the world
we're laid.
After all, it was very simple. Across
the street from the parsonage lived a
girl named Matte Moore common,
unloyely, unexciting girl, who taught
country school FIVE, miles out from
town, and rode to and from her school,
morning and evening, on bicycle.
One evening, early in June, when the
world was fair to look upon, it was
foreordained that Prudence should be
turning in at the parsonage gate just
as Matte Moore whirled up, opposite,
on her dusty wheel. Prudence stopped
to interchange polite inanities with her
neighbour and Matte, wheeling the BIZ
cycle lightly beside her, came across
the street and stood beneath the par
sonage naples with Prudence. They
talked of the weather, Of the coming

than any Of the others But it Is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred
dollars, isn't it? Did you ever have
i've hundred dollars before? Just take
it, father, and use it for whatever we
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear
nestly, they decided to divide it.
II will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger ones" he
said, "and that will leave you as
much"
So it was settled, and Prudence was
a happy girl when she saw it safely
put away in the bank.

summer, Of Mattie's school, rejoicing
that enc more week would bring free
dom from books for Matte and the
younger parsonage girls.
Then said Prudence: isn't it great
fun to ride bicycle? I love it. Some
time will you let me ride your wheel?''
'Why, certainly. You may ride now
if you like"
NO." said Prudence slowly, II used
to ride, but am afraid it would not do
now. Some Of the members might
see me, and-well, am very grown
up, you know. OF course" she added
hastily, ut is different with you. You
ride for business, but it would be moth
ing but frOlic with me. I want to go
early in the morning, when the world
Is fast asleep. Let me take it tomor-
row morning, will you?"
Eyes, of course you may" was the
hearty answer. "You may stay out as
long as you like. I always sleep late
on Saturdays"
So Prudence delightedly tripped up
the parsonage board walk, wheeling
the bicycle by her side. She hid it
carefully in the woodshed, for the
twins were rash and venturesome. But
after she had gone to bed, she con-
fided her plan to Fairy.
I'm going at six o'clock, and, Fairy,
II I am a little late, you'll get break
fast for papa and the girls, like dear,
won't your
Fairy promised. And early the next
morning Prudence, in red sweater
jacket and cap, set out upon her secret
ride. It was a magnificent morning,
and Prudence sang for pure delight as
she rode swiftly along the country
roads, guided only by her own caprice.
She knew it was growing late, "but
Fairy'll get breakfast" she thought,
comfortably.
Finally she turned in a by-road lead
Ing between two rich hickory groves.
Dismounting at the top of long hill,
she gazed anxiously around her. No
one was in sight. The nearest house
was two miles behind, and the road
was long and smooth and inviting
and the hill was steep. Prudence
yearned for good, soul-stirring coast
with her feet high on the framework
Of the wheel, and the pedals flying
around beneath her skirts. It seemed
safe. The only living thing in sight
was sober-eyed, serious mule peace.

MAN EATING SHARKS
SIGHTED BY SKIPPER
School Of IS Reported OF
Cape Hafteras.

Sharks are headed this way, maybe
to try to sobble up summer bathers who
venture too far out.
The skipper OF coastwise vessel which
arrived recently saw them In schools on
the westerly edge OF the Gulf Stream on
Hatteras, June 80. He dropped in at
the Weather Bureau, up in the crows
nest OF the whitehall Building, to warn
seashore swimmers. He reported the
lookout In his own crows nest, not a
nIth so tall as the Weather Bureaus,
when he first saw the triangular I'm Of the
nrst shark. mistook Ut for a periscope
and shouted submarine dead ahead ~
Twenty-Five other sharks appeared
later and the lookout edited his alarm
before the ships company had time to
put on life belts. The skipper knows
about sharks. having crulsed in tropical
and other waters many years and noted
their varieties and habits. He says the
several schools he passed OF Hatteras
and the Virginia Capes were the man
eating variety.
He asked the weather forecaster TO
add sharks to his forecast for this day,
so the seaside folk might be prepared to
dodge them.
