Spanish Counterfeiters Laugh at Authorities

Many a tourist in Spain has made the acquaintance of the Sevillan dollar, that mysterious counterfeit which contains more silver than a genuine O-peseta plece and which, though a forgery, is tolerated. The duro sevillano holds a unique place in the history of coins. Its origin goes back to the days ef the war im Cuba and the Philippines, when the Spanish government, in want of money, increased the circulation of silver dollars minted for about half their face value. Counterfeiters seized the opportunity to set up a rival mint which has never been discovered and in which duros sevillanos are produced. It is believed that persons of high rank own this mint and derive their incomes from it. In 1908 a fnance minister decided to gather In all the counterfeit dollars. He offered one good duro in exchange for a sevillano. - The silver thus collected welighed nearly 70 tons when melted Into bars. The minister’s initiative cost the state a round sum, but did Rot stop the flow of sevillanos. Ancha es Castillal (Wide is Castile!) i 3 an old saying, and in the vastness of the plains and sierras of all the Spains is perhaps the best explanation of why wholesale counterfeiting of the coim of the realm goes on undisturbed.

Cossacks Refuse to . : Violate Old Tombs

The similarity of the burial mounds in Siberia, north of the Gobi, with those several thousand miles distant on the Black sea, seems to indicate that they were built by the Mongols—perhaps in the age of Genghis Khan, perhaps in the day of Tamerlane (as we call Timurd-lang). Perhaps in the time of the khanates of central Asia—the Golden Horde, etc.—in the Six: teenth century. No one knows for certain, _ There are also found in the steppes curious stone warriors and women that face slways to the east. And I think the figure monuments of Siberia are very much like them. The Cossacks relate that when these stone women are carried away, to make gate posts for a house in some Russian village, it takes a half-dozen oxen to drag them to the west, although one. can draw them back again. Moi, j& me

At any rate most of the Cossacks are extremely unwilling to; dig up the burtal sites, the kurgans. A hundred years ago the British explorer, Clarke, asked the hetman of the Don Cossacks for some men from the village to help him the next day. The men were ready enough until they found out that he wanted to uncover a near-by kurgan. They refused point blank—said it was unthinkably unlucky—and Qlarke &id not get a look at the inside of the mound—HuaroMd Lamb in Adventure Magazine., |, i v

Genius Not Immune : to Domestic Trouble

It may be some consolation for those who have a servant girl problem to read the following reference to similar troubles in the life of a great man.

It is hard to believe that Beethoven, 80 much of whose life must have been spent in communion with the marvelous viston of his genius, was constantly immersed also in petty details of

housekeeping. In his diartes and letters are numerous references to them. His servants, from his own account, were nearly always incompetent, for he describes at length their neglect of him. And one passage in a diary is devoted to entries concerning kitchen maids, one of whom *“ran away,” and another of whom he writ¥s—*gave the Kkitchen maid warning”—though that is satisfactory to see by the next entry that “The new mald came.” In the intervals of these distresses Beethoven wrote the Choral Sympbony, and the great Mass in D!

Oxygen on Mars

That the amount of oxygen on Mars is relatively very low has been shown by a spectroscope fixed on the Mount Wilson telescope. It is only 60 per cent as great as the oxygen supply on Mount Everest, where exploring expeditions have had to resort to the use of oxygen tanks in order to keep allve. Though deficient In water and oxygen, there is no doubt that Mars still possesses an atmvosphere. E. O Slipher of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., showed that photographs made with red light fliters made the planet appear larger and showed greater detail than those made with blue light filters. Red lght {s known to have greater powers of penetration. through the atmosphere than blue; so that the photographs would tend to indicate the presence of an atmosphere on Mars.

Of Phoenician Origin? Melungeons are a distinct race of people living in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. They are about the color of mulattoes, but have straight hatr. They are supposed to be descendants of some ancient Phoenicians, who removed from Qarthage and settled In Morocco. They have no admixture of negro blood. From Morocco, a colony crossed the Atlantic and settled In South Carolina. From that locality they moved to Hancock county, Tenn, The Melungeons are to a considerable extent {lliterate, and are for the most part engaged in farmn ing—Washington Star. : Brain Measare Won’t Work A doctor friend tells us there is noth, ing to the scheme to measure the brains of congressmen to find out how much they know, that the most bril liant senator New York ever had had a very small head. . . . When it comes to brain power it is quality, not quantity, that counts. In the laboratory of a great medical school is the brain of a world-famous genius, sq small that it is little more than balf the welight of the average human beain.—OCapper’s Weekly., Lightning in Forests

In the great majority of cases the tree 19 not set an fire. Never. thelegs, the aggregate number of for est filres started by lightning fis, in many parts of the country, greater ‘than the number due to all other causes: combined.
