DELAY

IN PAYING FOR COINS

FOREIGN DEBT TO ROYAL MINT

As a result of delay by'a foreign Government in paying for silver coins, special Treasury permis- sion will in future be necessary for certain sub-contracts placed abroad by the Royal Mint.

The blanks for the coins were made by the London Mint, and then struck, under sub-contract, by a foreign mint. The amount of the contract was £134,722. By the end of the financial year, March 31. 1930, £100,485, exclusive of interest, was still outstanding.

The government concerned has now agreed to settle this amount, with interest at 5 per cent. per annum, in a series of payments extending to September, 1937.

Some of the finished colas were rojected, but, though the London Mint held that the faults occurred in the striking process, it was not found possible to recover any of the expense of replacement from

the subcontractor.

Thim in revealed in the report on the Civil Appropriations Ac- counts for 1934, which also atates that:

It has already outlived five generations of chickens and as far as biologists could tell, it was no “older,” than when the experiment started.

Hundreds of previous experiments showed the kind of nutrient fluid needed for perpetual life. This substance which looks like merchurochrome is made of chemicals, gases, and constituents of blood.

The bit of heart is bathed in the compound and steadily contracts and expands-beats-just as it would in real life. The only difference from regular heart is according to Dr. Carrel, its immortality which continues so long as the pumps supply it with the necessary fluid and the refuse is carried away.-United Press.
