 OLD ROMAN COUNTBRPSITBRS. 
 
 '^ At n meeting of the Society of Antk|uaria|ia in Newpaatle, England, 
 recently, Dr. Bruce told about a discovery in hit private eoltaction : 
 coint. Amonf them wat one' upon which he aet great atore, being 
 Ncnrce gold coin of Allectut, who, having murdered bit predeeeaior, 
 ruled in )t{itain for three yearii nlxnit the cloae of the third century. 
 It wat valued at /40 or £^0. DoubU raited in regard to its weight 
 led to an astay by an^Kpeit, whenlhe coin wat found (to l^e copper 
 Hilvrred over and (hen gilded and touched with varnish. Quite a panic 
 may be expected among colleeton frojn the ditcovery of the skilful 
 counterfeiting of our Roiiian ancestors. , 
 
 
 BIG GOJ.D NUGGBTS. 
 
 There have- been big gold nuggeU (bund in various countries, Imt 
 the largest ever discovered was found in New South Wales, Australia. 
 Its weight waa 640 lbs, height, 4.feet 9 inches, width, 3 feet, 3 inches, 
 average thickness, 4 iriehes, and it was worth $l^8oa It was found 
 imbedded in a thick, wall of bine slate at a^ depth of asoyeet from the 
 aurface. An Interesting feature of its history was that the {owners 6f 
 the mine were living on charity when th^ found it. ' '

 Modern research has shown that the ocean contains in solution nearly 
 every element that exists upon the earth, and that these elements exist 
 in the water in proportion nearly corresponding to the mei\n solubility 
 of their various compounds. Thus gold and silver and most of the 
 other heavy metals are found to exist there. Sonnenstadt found about 
 14 Brains of gol.1 to the ton of sea-wnter, or a dollar's worth in leu than 
 two tons.
