~~ 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 gineering. 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.~— From Liilie Hamilton Frenea’s “A New 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 Ryl 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 Gustave Mihcaud’s “The Brain of the Nation,” in the Century. 4 Among the advertisements in a re cent number of a Munich journal was thiz: “Wanted: A second-hand grave.” - With Whiskery and Wings.
