H10 Uuii'l States snb-treasnrv oCi
cials of this city are greatly ai-.tioyt d nt
present by tho amount of li.'nt weight
gold coin that is coining into their cof
fers. Tho gold is all short in value, and
though there is no apparent difference in
the size of tho various pieces or their
weight t the unpraoticed observer,
many of them have been reduced one
third of their value.
Tho ofiicials do not hesitate to accuse
persons of robbing the government by
reducing the weight of tho coin, and the
government has even gone so far as to
take steps to stop tho robixry. Assistant
Treasurer Ilo'oerts said that many of tiie
gold pieces were lii'ty cents shjrt, and
some of too 10 pieces Were worth only
ij:).25. The $1 coins uid not suffer much,
because it would hardly pay to bother
with them.
In every case that h:.s attention had
lii-'i'ii trailed to the i'aco of la-; coin iirtd
not been worn or mutilated. Tho iigures
and (i : i;r;iis presented lines as siiarp its
new ones, aud tho milling hadn't been
disturbed. Theso coins were, however,
all tiiort from twenty-five to ih'ty cents
in value. These facts have caused the
oiiiirials to think tuat tiiere arc persons
at w'ork in tho city who a.-o making a
regular business cf uefrauding tho gov
ernment. Tho fold in these cases has been re
moved i'roiii tho coin by means of a
chemical pro-.:cv, wiiicii uojj not appear
to aiLcet tao general appjarauco oi tae
nioi:ej".
A'.i 1 1 treasury ofiictal, in spa:t"::ingof
tho fraud, gave mo soma interesting
fuels concerning thi t Kjecies of robbery.
'Tii'.ri;ari bait a (iozjn ways of geiling
.gold en coins," nail he, "but tiio two
i::oi t in vogue aro tin::'. where acid ii
vised, and in the '.sweating' process. The
latter is i:ir,t in vogue among Polish
Jews ami Italians, who make a regular
busi::i.:" of it.
"in 1 he ihvst place they secure a stout
canvas bag and nil it about hair full 01
gold coins. Tho tori of Iho bag is tied,
and then tho coins aro shaken to;-errer
for hours at a ti.ne. The friction of one
coin rubbing against tho other wears o!i
considerable gold, and it ir. deposited at
the bottom of Iho bag. Each time 200
worth of gold coin is treated to the
'sweating' proe-ess tho Italian wiil prob
ably sectiro Ju worth of dust. The
coins when taken out looksoinrr.vlnt chl
as if the' had been in circulation a
long time but they will always be ac
cepted by persons not used to handling
money.
"To a person familiar with the frauds,
however, it is always easy to detect a
coin that has been treated to a 'sweat.'
Tho Italian wiil always take new coin
for the purpose, and if a person will only
r;top to think ho can also detect a light
coin. The gold dees not wear off a.
rapidiy as i. generally supposed in ordi
nary circulation. Thereforo when a per
son finds a coin which from its date "is
only two or three years old, that has a
very worn appearance, it has undoubted
ly been treated to a 'sweat.' These
coina will always be found short weight,
and people will save money if they
wut-..i tiie date abl ceantion of th
pieces they receive.
"The process of removing gold hy an
acid bath is now resorted to more geu
eraliy tnan tne old sweating S3-.'-tem, as
it is harder to detect the shortage in the
coins. On 'sweated' coin the iigures and
milling aro worn, while on the others
the designs aro not at ail injured. To
detect shortage in the bitter coin weigh
t.hem." New York Herald.
Cured of Practical Joking.
Practical joking has had many follow
ers among "great men; out tne manner
in which Beethoven was cured of it
should bo a lesson to all who still practice
the "art." Tho wife of a pianist in
Vienna was a great admirer of the com
poser's works, and had set her heart on
getting a lock of his hair. . She induced
her husband to tret a mutual friend tc
ask for it; but tho friend, bring a prac
tical joker, instead of carrying out her
withe:;, persuaded Beethoven, who also
was fond of a practical joke, to send her
a i'jck cut from a biily goal's ruvd, the.
hair of which in texture and color
slightly resembled that of the composer's
The lady was very proud of her sup
posed treasure, untii another friend,
who knew tho facts, informed her of the
trick, when sho was 60 distressed that
her husband wrote an indignant letter
to Beethoven. The composer's (lis
courtesy to a lady being thus brought
homo to him, he was so ashamed that he
immediately wrot3 a letter of apology,
inclosing a genuine lock of hair; and he
resolved never to bo a party to such
jokes again. New York Ledger.
What Is and Is Not Perpetual Motion.
A3 ia generally known, a perpetual
motion machine is one to be moved by a
power furnished by tho machine itself
and uot from any source outside of it.
A mill or a clock run by the incessant
rise and fall of the tide is not perpetual
motion. Neither is a machine that runs
by the power of terrestrial or other mag
netism, or of the wind, or of variations
ia the weight of the atmosphere, or by
electricity coming from outside of the
machine, or by the force of heat coming
front the sua. A wheel that could al
ways of itself keep more weight at one
side than the other and thus turn so
long as its materials lasted would be
perpetual motion, and such has been the
form of most cf the machines invented
for the purpose. Chicago Herald.
Contempt of Court.
A stranger once walked into a Massa
chusetts court and spent some time
watching the proceedings. By and by a
man was brought up for contempt of
court and fined; whereupon the stranger
rose and said:
"How much was the fine?"
"Five dollars,' replied the clerk.
""Well," said the etranger, laying down
the money, "if that's all, I'd like to jine
in. Tve had a few hours' experience of
this court, and no one can feel a greater
contempt for it than I do, and I am will
la to car for it." Green Earr.
