WORLDS BANKNOTES
Shape Size and Color of Paper Money
of the Nations
The only paper money tLat is accept
ed practically ail over the globe is not
money at all but the notes of the
Dank of England These notes are
simply printed in black ink on Irish
linen water lined paper plain white
with ragged edges The reason thai a
badly soiled or worn Bank f Holland
note is rarely seen is thai notes whieli
in any way tind their way back to the
bank are immediately canceled and
new ones are issued The notes of the
Ranque de France are made of white
water lined paper printed in black and
white with rumerous mythological and
allegorical pictures They are in de
nominations of from 25 francs to 1000
francs
Bank of England notes are of a
somewhat unhandy size r by S inches
South American currency resembles
the bills of the United Slates except
that cinnamon brown and slate blue
are the prevailing colors German cur
rency is printed in green and black
the notes being in denominations of
from 5 to 1000 marks The 1000 mark
bills are printed on silk fiber paper
It takes an expert or a native to dis
tinguish a Chinese bill from a laundry
ticket if the bill is of low denomina
tion or a firecracker label if for a large
amount the print being in rod on
white or yellow on red with much crilr
and gorgeous devices Italian notes
are all sizes shapes and colors The
smallest bills 5 and 10 lire are print
ed on white paper in pink blue and
carmine inks
The most striking paper currency in
the world is the 100 ruble note of Rus
sia which is barred from top to bot
tom with all the colors of the rainbow
blended as when a sun ray passes
through a prism In the center in bold
relief is a finely executed vignette in
black The remainder of the engrav
ing on the note is in dark and light
brown ink
The American practice of scattering
strands of silk through the paper fiber
as a protection against counterfeiting
is unique Ilarpers Weekly
A Busl l of Cents
It beats all what odd questions reach
some of the departments of govern
ment in Washi igton Not long ago
the treasury received a letter from a
man who had made a bet asking IIow
many cents are there in a bushel
The answer was not easy to offer If
the man had asked about pounds he
might have received a definite answer
As it was lie got in reply a guess from
a clerk that roughly there is some
thing like 320 or 3200 pennies

POLAR PHENOMENA
The Mirage and the Mock Sun of the
Arctic Rsgions
In the spring of 1900 I changed
over to the steamer Corwin and sailed
for the Arctic ocean to establish a
trading station somewhere on the
northern shores of Alaska Although
we went on a purely commercial ven
ture Uu re was a good deal of talk
about the pole during the seven months
we spent in the almost continuous sun
light
Dr Cook relates instances of seeing
mirages above the ice fields mountains
passing in solemn review and some
times inverted and standing on their
peaks but he goes on to say that there
were no forms of life Mirage is a
common sight even in lower latitudes
than those mentioned by Dr Cook I
have seen the spires and domes of well
defined buildings whole cities in fact
appear above the Horizon sometimes
lingering for several minutes or again
with their lowers reaching tip higher
and higher attenuating apparently to a
mere thread The mock sun is a
common phenomenon in the Boring
sea On the evening of June 2 1000
perhaps 100 miles south of St Law
rence island about 00 oclock and
past sunset the sun was visible as
though half an hour high but appear
ing as a much flattened oval Then
another sun more nearly round emerg
ed from the horizon beneath the goose
egg rising quite rapidly until it
blended with the descending orb
Thereupon instead of settling below
the horizon the light was quickly dis
sipated in the air This phenomenon
was probably due to the unequal den
sity of several superimposed stratas
of air producing refraction of the suns
rays from below the horizon Captain

Parental Severity
The children of two centuries ago
fell on stern times if one may believe
that the spirit of family life was ac
curately expressed by an excellent
mother of that day who said without
humorous intent that her children
loved her as sinners dread death
There is little doubt I hat parental con
trol at I hat date was as rigorous as
this anecdote indicates It is said that
when little Andrew Elliot afterward
lieutenant governor of New York ob
jected to boiled mutton his father Sir
Gilbert Elliot frowned
Let Mr Andrew have boiled mut
ton for breakfast commanded the
stern parent cold mutton for dinner
and cold mutton for supper till he has

WATSON THE POET
How Author of Much Liecussed Poem
Was Awarded a Pension
William Watson ttie Euglish poet
whose name has been much hefore
the public lately because ot tils recent
poem The Woman with the Serpents
Tongue In which he N popularly sup
posed to have attacked the character
of an Englishwoman of high rank
denied before sailing tor New York
the other day that his visit had any
thing to do with Klchard Le Calil
eiine challenge to personal comha
My object in going to America lie
said is to show the wonders of the
new world to my young wife and to
study the customs of that great coun
try and its democratic people Speak-
ing of bis controversy with Mr Gal-
lieune Mr Watson laughed over It
and said that it was so trivial as not
to deserve mention He said that he
would certainly not call on Air Le
ialicnne but would be pleased to see
him if he cared to call
Mr Watson Is now very comfortably
off Some twelve years ago an uncle
who lived in Liverpool died leaving
him a fair sized fortune so as he says
he writes now only when he feels like
it and consequently Is able to do hta
best work But such was not always
the case In fact he enjoys a pen
sion of 100 a year given him from
the civil list by Lord Rosebery when
prime minister It was very accepta
ble then
In telling how It came about Mr
Watson said that one morning he re
ceived a note from Lord Uoseln ry ask
ing him to call at 10 Downing street
When he presented himself Lord Itnse
bery said
I understand Mr Watson that
things are not going so well with you
as they might
Mr Watson confessed that thfc was
so and Lord Rosebery said he had
been thinking the matter over and had
decided to give him a pension from
the civil list adding
You know it is a national recogni
tion of your genius and I have decided
to recommend you for 100 a year
the same as Tennyson had
Rut Lord Tennyson bad 200 sug
gested Watson
Did he said the prime minister
Both laughed heartily but Watson got
only the smaller allowance
On the same occasion Lord Rosebery
sounded Watson on the iaureateship
saying
Dont you think it should be abol
ished
Not if you are thinking of offering
it to me was Watsons rejoinder

descent was very steep but the rest
of the jouiney was on almost level

RSH1P LAWS
Professor Baldwin of Yale Tells
Why One Is Needed
OPENS NEW JUDICIAL FIELD
Old Theory That Landlord Owns Air
Up Into the Heavens Likely to Give
Way Before Modern Progress How
State May Give Right to Fly
Professor Simeon E Baldwin of the
Yale Law school and chief justice of
the supreme court of errors of Connec
ticut told an audience In the Yale I en
body museum at New Haven Conn
the other night that the lawyers would
soon have to get their wits together
and frame laws for the government of
airship navigation
He said that lawyers had been busy
for the last 100 years making laws for
the railroads for the telegraph nnd for
the telephone and now they must con
sider the law for the airship
The airship lu the judgment of the
chief justice Is out of the field of ex
periment and Into the Held where It Is
bound to be used for transportation of
passengers of goods of spies of bur
glars criminals flying from justice and
illicit trade of avery kind for it flies
as irresponsibly as a bird The ques
tion at once asked is how far the pre
cepts of private law can be applied to
the airship Can one worldwide law
be framed for the air as for the high
seas
Question of Navigating the Air
The chief justice asked if uuy one
had a right to navigate the air Then
Should a person be hit by an air-
restrictions without involving the
rights ot iaudowners unless actual
damage results

for the sum of 210 in an action pend
ing before him wherein William
nrkit iu riljiin t ilT rin1 T It Ilnll iu
he quoted various authorities who took t t t VTOmrt 0f th defendant
the position that private landowners consisting of money due and owing in
owned the air even to the heavens the the hands of the Chicago Burlington it
acceptance of which authorities would Quincy Railroad Company garnishee
mean iu his opinion that the naviga
tion of the air would be an infringe
ment of private rights These author
ities however were ancient lie went
on as follows
Physiologists tell us that man is so
constructed that he never can develop
wings to fly and that iu order to navi
gate the air man must fight continually
against the law of gravitation and that
bis flights through the air must always
be a menace to the safety of those be
neath
The navigation of the airship is not
a natural right The question is
tion of the air will no doubt be useful
to the public
It is granted that every railroad

fendant for said railroad company has
been attached under said order of at
