COIN SWEATING.
Am lllrtfiil I'rtietlee Which line Pall
en Into Dlanae.
(Mosoly allied to the milking of coun
terfeit coins niid usually combined
Mill tli.it nefarious trade Is what Is
known as "sweating," which requires
considerable skill to accomplish suc
cessfully. A lubber mold Is used. Into
which a gold coin Is to be sweated Is In
trodwed and held with a clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
the coin Is Immersed In a bath of
cyanide of potassium and an electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upon tho'colu in the acid
uniformly sweats the mctul that Is to
say, causes so much of It to become
detached. This process Is gone through
with a large number of coins, and the
gold deposit thus ohtuined Is extracted
from the ncld.
It Is for the purpose of detecting the
existence of such reduced coins that
bankers weigh cold (Ins id a balance,
and if one is In the scale it will Imme
diately be shown by the indicator. The
light coin Is then taken out, and what
ever the shortage represents that
amount the customer will have to
ma.Ue up or be fined.
'Jt"ut, all things considered, iweating
Is but a poor business, says H. L.
Adams In his Interesting book, "The
' Story of Crime," and evidently It is
thought so by the criminal fraternity,
for It has dwindled to a mere nothln?.
A sovereign weighs J23.27447 grains,
and fho limit of error lit the weight is
.2 of a grain, from which it mny
readily be gathered that sweating can
not now le a very lucrative business.

A Remarkable Church.
At Stivlchall, near Coventry, Eng
land, there is a unique place of wor
ship. In 1810 John Green, a stonema
son of a strongly religious tuna of
mind, laid the first stone of the edifice,
and seven years later he completed the
btildlng. In all that time he had as
sistance from no one, doing all the
work with bis own hands until the
church wub ready for its Interior fit
tings. .Wooden and even brick build
ings erected by one or two men are
not uncommon, but this is the only
structure In England and probably In
the world of which every stone was
laid by one man. The building accom
modates quite a large congregation,
and the church derives a cotjslderabls
revenue from the contributions ol
sightseers who are drawn to the plan
through curiosity.

COTHUEBS ACROSS SAHARA.

Though a journey across the Sahara
is still an undertaking of some mag
nitude, the pacification at the central
region by the French lias been won
dcrfu!y rapid during tho last flv
years, says the Pall Mall Gazette.
Uemoved, us it seems, from the ex
citing Influence f events hi Morocco,
and undlsturtsil by Senussite propa
ganda, the French officers huve been
able to establish friendly relations
with tho Tnureg and other Berber
tribes, and have organized a chain of
posts right across the desert connect
ing Algeria with French West Africa.
The route for the telegraph bus been
surveyed ui;d a "wireless" Installation
is being established.
Meantime by u recwit mail from
Dakar the governor ef French West
Africa reports that he "aas instituted
a' monthly service by eouiiera between
the Niger and the Mediterranean. The
southern point of the departure will bs
the ancient town ef Guso on the
Niger, some 20 miles below Tlmbucktu,
and the point of departure from the
north Insulah in the ausls of Tuat,
which is some 30 miles souls of the
rail heud in the Sud Ornhusls. Inter
mediate posts have been established at
A glides and the Ahuggar. The over
sight of the flew reate covers fully
1,000 miles of desert.
Much Is expected la the way of
accustoming the wild tr&csuicn ot
the Sahara to the aew order of things
from tho regular running of this serv
ice and possibly some development of
trade may follow. But at preseut It
will be useful chiefly as a means of
rapid communication between the
French military posts. It is Intended
that officers selected for service lu
or returning home from the Niger dis
tricts shall make use of the Truus
Saharan route, which will be more
direct and less costly thau the Journey
from or to France via Senegal or Du
homey. Both horses and camels wilt
be used on the new service.
