BISHOPS COIN OWN MONEY
Occupants of Ancient Sees in England
Issued Currency as They
Pleased.
The occupants of the ancient
sees of Canterbury and York,
during the Anglo Saxon period,
enjoyed the privilege of issuing
their own coinage, a coinage rich
in archaeological, artistic and his
torieal interest. No record exists
of the conditions or circumstan
ces under which flu* right of coin
age was granted to the archbish
ops of Canterbury, beyond the in
trinsie evidence of the coins them
selves. Only one type of coin ap
pears to have been issued, the sil
ver penny. It is presumed, from
the appearance on the earliest
coins of the name of Offa, king of
Mercia—one of the three chief
kingdoms of early England—and
that that king first granted the
privilege of an independent eccle
siastical coinage.
The first archbishop to issue
this money was .Jaenberht, who or
copied the see from A. 1>. 7f*G to
700. All his coins bear Offa’s
name, while* some bear his own.
This prelate is noted in English
history for his vigorous, though
unsuccessful, attempt to resist
King Offa’s plan for destroying
the power of the primatial see of
Canterbury and transferring the
primacy to a Mercian metropol
itan. A synod was held in 787 at
Chelsea, now a part of London,
and the archbishop was forced to
give up a large port ion of his prov
ince to Higbert, bishop of Lich
field, who was raised to tin* rank
of an archbishop, daenberht’s suc
cessor, Aethelheard (A. I >. 71th
805), though elected in 701. did nor
receive the pallium till 700. Dur
ing this interval he appears to
have struck coins with the title of
1’ontifcx instead of Arehiepisco
pus. His early coins bear the
name of Offa. while those struck
after 70(i bear that of Coenwulf,
who succeeded < >ffa as king of Mer
ria.
Aethelhenrd's earlier pennies
have, in addition to the name of
Offa. a star, a cross, tlx* Christian
monogram, etc. This prelate was
also bishop of W inchester—the
ineient capital of England.
COLD ATTRACTS MICROBES
Yellow Metal Collects Disease Germs
While Silver Is Free from
This Danger.
Tin* poor man hasn't everything
against him. It lias been discov
•red that gold collects disease
germs to a greater extent than
either silver or copper. Thus the
poor man. with only quarters and
limes and pennies to handle, is
safer than the rich man with his
eagles and double eagles. Aud the
aoor man. with his silver watch,
•an ascertain the time without
half tin* risk that the gold
watched rich man runs. It has
been proved that gold has a great
er attraction for disease germs
than any other metal. Microbes
crowd a piece of gold as commut
ers crowd the trains in rush
hours. Silver and copper, how
ever, the poor mail’s metals, are
not so overrun with microbes. On
pennies or dimes there is always
room for tin* little creatures to
stretch their legs and move about
a bit.
Chemical Detective.
Truly the way of the transgres
sor is hard and his ingenuity is
kept busy eluding the constantly
increasing methods of detecting
him. The latest device is extreme
ly subtle, and it will be a clever
thief who can see his way clear out
of the trap which a scientific mind
has prepared for him. It was in
vented bv a chemist of Budapest,
and is a chemical powder, of a yel
| low color, which has the curious
\ property of dyeing the skin of the
i person touching it to a deep blue.
The color is not removable by any
I known means, and washing it only
i makes the color deeper. However,
after a fortnight it begins to wear
off, and at the end of about three
months all traces of the coloration
will vanish.—N. Y. Times.
ARE EXTREMELY DELICATE
Scientific Operations Necessary in
Taking the Measurement
of the Earth.
The science of geodesy is mak
ing rapid strides along the line of
iccuraey,and there is not much left
to be perfected in the way of
method. The all-iniportant prob
lem of modern, as well as ancient
geodesy, of course, is the measure
ment of the dimensions of the
earth, which enters into all
practical work of surveying,
navigation and terrestial phy
sics, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The International geo
detic asociatiou several years
ago undertook the problem, the
different nations having agreed to
contribute their share toward an
accurate determination. As has
already been recorded, the deter
mination was undertaken its 1 Ami
dor, in 1001, and extended from the
Colombian to the Peruvian trout
ier, ad every possible refinement
to attain the maximum degree of
accuracy was adopted. The great
est difficulty is to secure an accu
rate base line, which is compli
cated by so apparently trivial a
thing as the expansion of the meas
uring medium. The latest refine
ment in the bar method is that or
iginated by the United States
coast and geodetic survey, using i
a single bar immersed in melting j
ice, the containing trough being |
carried on a suitable car upon aj
temporary track. Later still. M. j
Guillaume discovered an alloy of
fit per cent, steel and 36 tier cent,
nickel possesses an exceedingly
low coefficient of expansion, and,
oonseqm tly, offers the best medi
um for accurate base line measure
ments. This alloy is known as‘‘in
var,” and is usually employed in
the form of a wire supported by
tripods and stretched by a definite
weight. A very valuable piece of
work on the island of Spitsbergen
was completed with the use of this
alloyed wire.
Even the infinitisimal variation
in the force of gravity at different
portious of the earth is not too in
significant to be disregarded, and
must be determined and a correc
tion applied. This delicate deter
mination is made by observing 1 ln»
pressure of the atmosphere by the
determination of the boiling point
of water, and comparing the same
with the barometric reading, the
difference, if any. being considered
due to a gravity upon the mercury.
FIGHT MANKIND'S BATTLES.
Insect Friends That Make War Upon
Destroyers of Fruits and
Grain.
Finding that all ordinary means
of keeping down the numbers of
the insert pests which prey upon
the crops are insufficient, ento
mologists are turning their atten
tion to the discovery of insects
which prey upon the parasites t hey
wish to destroy
A pestilent insect known as the
Kan Jose scale, which ravages the
<• ops of American farmers, is now i
hr ng attacked by a species of
bcel'e from China. The beetle is
very fond of the scale insects—asj
art i<cs of diet—and devours t hem ^
in g-eat numbers.
Ar itlier voracious insect which j
Wiiii > Wiir on mosquit oes is being j
cult ated. so that when its num
bers are sufficiently great it may
be let loose upon them.
It is to be hoped, however, that
win n the insect armies which are
to tight battles on behalf of man-j
kind have exterminated the enemy j
they will not—like some human j
art —take to looting and thus
themselves become pests.
No Danger.
Fond Father—Heavenbless you,
sir, for rescuing my daughter from
a watery grave. Think of the risk
you ran.
Life Saver—No risk at all, sir,
I’m married.—Milwaukee News.
_
Cool.
Col. Gruff—I understand that
my daughter is determined to
marry you. Well, I want to say
I to you that she’s crazy—
Mr. Nervey—Ah! hereditary, J
suppose.—Philadelphia Ledger.
