~~ Japanese-Imperial Mint. *
Cne of the earliest Western insti
tutions established in Japan was the
Imperial Mint at Osaka, and it has
been one of the most successful and
useful. Ir the convention which was
signed at Yeddo, in 1866, between the
representatives of the Japanese Gov
ernment and those of the foreign
Powers, the establishment of a mint
was stiputated. The Japanese Gov
ernment purchased from the British
Government a mint, which had been
established at Hong ..ong, but which
the latter had resolved to discon
tinue.
The mint is now managed ‘entirely
by Japanese, and, judging from the
report of the director for. the year
ended March 31, 1904, it maintains its
reputation not only for the amount of
its production, but arso for the effic
jency and exactness of the work done,
The report, which is printed in Eng
lish, is a model of its kind. It states
that the coinage for the financial year
under review consisted of gold, silver
and nickel coins in six denominations,
amounting to 13,316,671 pieces, of the
value of 25,801,086 yen, against 5,351,
126 pieces of the preceding ear,
valued at 38,300,563 yen in 10 yen
gold and 50 yen silver coins. In addi
tion to these, 5,131,096 pieces of silver
yen were struck during the year.—En

Ideal of Welfare Manager.
- Among the best known welfare man
agers are to be found those who have
prepared themselves for their profes
sion, as they would have done for the
practice of law or medicine. Like the
rest of the employes, they are paid
by the company, and, as all managers
should do, they kesep the general wel
fare of the company in view, balanc
ing the interests of employer and em
ploye, and, in the end, proving them
to be one and the same thing. Their
ideal is to demonstrate the scientific
nature of their calling, and they take
pains to disclaim as an inspiration in
their labors, or as a justification of
ways and means, any of the so-called
spirit of philanthropy. With them the
success of their work resolves ' itself
into a success of purely business prin
ciples and methods, and, unless a go7d
bukiness profit is made for the com
pany and the employe, they regard
their own department as _a faviure.~—

Ocecupation,” in the Century.
New Shell With a Tracer.
The artillery forces at Fort Riley
are experimenting with a new shell
fitted with what is known as the Sem
ple tracer. This tracer is a small cyl
inder at the base of the shell, filled
with a composition which is ignited
by the discharge of the gun.
In burning it traces the trajectory
of the shell from the gun to the point
of fall. It furnishes a quick means of
determining range at night. Traveling
at about 2,000 feet a second, the shells
have the appearance of comets. At
the point of the fall the tracer leaves
the shell and shoots straight up into
the air about 100 feet and then, turn
ing all aglare, shoots to the ground
like a shooting star over the spot
where the shell strikes. - Jigtlivlt

Unique Heredity of Talent.
The District of Columbia is an ex
ample, perhaps unique ie the world, of
the heredity of talent. Let it be borne
in mind that in this case as in that of
every State the eiements of the calcu
lation are not the men and women who
reside in the district, but those who
were born in it, and who disseminated
all over the United States. That such
a percentage of the people born in the
District of Columbia should become
famous is of course tne result of the
artificial selection which has gathered
temporarily or permanently into a
city, not among the largest in the
country, so many eminent men.—From
