GOLD COINS LOSE WEIGHT
Millions of Dollars in Circulation
.that Are Below the
Standard.
There are probably millions of dollars
In gold coin circulating in the United
States which . are not worth their face
value. This fact haa been called to the
attention of Lee McClung, treasurer of
the United States, but the government
haa no desire nor intention to recall the
money, In order that only gold of stand
ard value may be In circulation.
Should this gold be presented to the
treasury or subtreasury, Its owners
would be the losers, because of the enor
mous wear cauBed by abrasions in cir
culation. 4 While the government does not
require that gold coins shall be of stand
ard weight to be redeemed at their face
value, it has established what is known
as a "limit of tolerance," which permits
a loss In weight of one-half of 1 per
cent Below that limit the treasury
makes a reduction at the rate of 4 cents
per grain.
Lightweight coin, it is said, exists prin
cipally on the Pacific coast where the
greater bulk 'of the yellow metal Is in
circulation. The financial interests of the
west, the treasury has been advised,
know two kinds of gold, treasury gold
and bank gold. The former Is the full
weight while the latter is below the
"limit of tolerance." ,
The worn gold never reaches the treas
ury or the subtreasuries. According to
report here, it Is passed from bank to
bank and individual to Individual, like a
plugged coin, and in that way maintains
its parity of value.
' Curiously enough, silver coin is always
worth Its face value, however much
abused by the ravages of time. Wash

KIDDIES VIEWBIG PARADE
And Grownups Also Block the Streets
as it Passes.
RANCH LIFE IN WEST IS SHOWN
101 Ranch with Hundred Indians
and All Sorts of Connors and
Cowgirls to Repeat Show
This Evening;.
About a million kids crowded the streets
today to see the "grand free street par
ade" of the 101 Ranch wild west show.
Little tots Just big enough to wobble
about mixed with their elders on an equal
footing for once and demanded and re
ceived due recognition.. They waited Im
patiently for some time. At last a brass
band was heard way out on Sixteenth
street and a thousand squeaky little
voices shouted:
"Here she comes!"
Then their was a wild - scramble for
points of vantage. A few thousand curl
ous papas, who still remember their first
circus, respectfully assisted the urchins
to the front Girls were not absent and
waged an equal contest with the boys to
see the parade.
While nearly 100 boys were fighting
their way through the crowd at Farnam
and Sixteenth to see the parade, half as
many girls out-generaled them, formed
in line and lock-stepped on the double
quick to Douglas where the line of parade
turned east
Two little . ragged fellows unostenta
tiously became heroes. A very weary
mother was attempting to squelch the
howls of a 2-year-old who Insisted, "I
wanna balloon." The boys each had a
quarter.
Boy Baby a Balloon.
They held a consultation, got change
for their quarters and bought the kid a
balloon. ' The 2-year-old became meek as
a lamb at once and crowed for Joy. A
man standing by offered to reimburse
the boys, but they declined his charity.
Over 100 real Indians, an army of cow
boys, cowgirls, Mexican vaqueros, old
scouts and plainsmen rewarded the grown
ups and the kids who witnessed the par
ade, which formed at Webster street
station and winding around the down
town ' streets disappeared in the circus
grounds at Twenty-first and Paul. '
The parade was led by a squad of
police, who kept the streets clear. Then
followed the Indians and the ' cowboys,
and the buffalo and the long-horned
Texas steers and bringing up in the
rear was the ever present blaring calllop.
The Initial performance of the Ml Ranch
is taking place this afternoon before a
big crowd. All the typical wild west
features for whtch the show is noted
are being presented. The robbery of the
stage coach by Mexican bandits, the In
dian attack on the settler's camp, the
pony express, the "round-up" with its
long horned steers, its broncho busting,
with outlaw horses, steers and buffaloes,
and Its many other characteristic fea
tures, are incidents of the program. The
performance will be repeated tonight at
8.15.
AUTO VALVE GRINDING
DEVICE INSTALLED HERE
"Pitted valves and valve seats or col
lections of carbon 'on the valves or
valve seats causes many a motorist to'
ponder why his engine haa lost its former
strong pulling power," said Albert Blhler,
one of Omaha's oldest and expert auto
mobile dealers. "They imagine all sorts
of troubles, but fail to locate the right
one and the engine continues to rather
hold back instead of pulling forward with
a decided vim. The trouble is easily
remedied in Omaha now. Formerly It
was necessary to grind each one of the
valves Into its seat by hand, a tedious
and more or less costly piece of work."
Mr. Bihler has Installed in his shop a
machine for the exclusive purpose of
grinding valves. The outfit cost nearly
$600 and is said to be the only one west of
Chicago. Motorists can have valves
ground accurately and without laying up
the car and the big valve grinding ma
chine actually lowers the price of the Job
by cutting down the time."
SLEEPING SPACE OF NATIONS
How People of Different Conntrles
Woo "Nature's Sweet
Restorer."
The American or European in order to
get a good night's rest ordinarily re
quires a soft pillow under his head, but
the Japanese stretching himself on a
rush mat on the floor puts a hard,
square block of wood under his head and
does not sleep well If he does not
have it v
In China they make a great to do with
reference to their beds. These are very
low, scarcely rising ' from the floor, but
often carved equisitely of wood. Like the
Japanese the Chinese never makes his
bed any softer than is possible by the
use of rush mats.
It is a curious fact with reference to
the sleeping habits of the various peoples
that while those In northern countries
do not appear to be able to sleep well
unless they have lots of room In which
to stretch their legs, the Inhabitants of
the tropics often curl themselves up like
monkeys' at the lower angle of a sus
pended hammock and sleep very soundly
that way.
The robust American will cover him
self with a pair of blankets ahd throw
his window open to the air even in the
dead of winter and sometimes he will not
complain if there Is a bit of snow on
the window sill in the morning. But the
Russian, on the contrary, likes no sleep
ing place so well as the top of the big
soapstone stove In his dwelling. Crawl
ing out of this blistering bed in the
morning he delights In taking a plunge
In a cold stream even if he has to break
through the Ice to do so. .
: In Lapland the native crawls, head and
all, into a bag made of reindeer skin and
sleeps warm and comfortable within it.
T..e East Indian, at the other end of
the world, also has a sleeping bag, but it
la more porous than the Laplander's.
Its purpose is to keep out the mosquitoes
rather than to keep its occupants warm.
The American clings to his feather
pilliw, but he rat long slnoe discarded
the,old feather bed in favor of the hair
o;' straw or felt mattrese. The feather
bed had been relegated to the country,
and many persons who slept on It In
their childhood found it unendurable in
their after years.
"But the German not only sleeps on a
fetfther bed, but underneath one as well.
The feather covering used in Germany,
however,' is not so large or thick as the
one used as a mattress, and the foreigner
who undertakes to sleep beneath It often
finds hie feat suffering from cold, while
hi- shoulders are suffering from heat

Ever offered by any manufacturer for
Here is a Player Piano of such unusual musical and constructional excellence that to purchase
an Instrument of Its grade elsewhere would cost you at least $600.

Weber, Steck, Wheelockt Stuyvesant and Stroud Pianola Pianos and other famous Instruments.

THIRD DEGREE IN NEW DRESS
Practical Tests of the Mnnsterbera
Theory of Criminal De
tection, What Is believed to have been the first
demonstration In a court of Justice of the
Munsterberg theory of criminal detection
by heart pulsations took place not long
ago In a California court. The demonstra
tlon ended in the discharge of Arthur
Smith, a metal worker, who had been
arrested as a suspicious character.
The theory and the proposed test were
explali d to the prisoner, who readily con
sented io be a party to the experiment
The stethoscope was adjusted and his nor
mal pulse was tested and found to be
seventy-nine beats a minute.
Certain words were then spoken to the
prisoner, who was asked to reply to each
with a word suggested by the one asked.
Thlt was done for the purpose of testing
the claim of Prof. Munsterberg that words
spoken to men under arrest, especially
those pertaining to the crime with which
they might be charged, would cause them
embarrassment In answering an woulc
produce accelerated action of the heai'
The word S&n Quentin, where the pris
oner wa; suspected ot havinc served a
term, caused no acceleration of the heart

to the theory.

action is desired it may be obtained by
the aid of a machine which Dr. E. A.
Newton, a German scientist, Is said to
have Invented. It portrays accurately the
pulsations' of the heart muscles and the
action of the valves and discloses all Ir
regularities, however slight. Aocelerated
action of the heart resulting from' the
emotion of fear arising from guilt would
be disclosed in a characteristic series of
leaps and bounds which are quite diverse
from the pulsations due to the influence
of love or Joy.
A New York dentist advocates laugh
ing gas as a substitute for the police third
degree. He believes that this, the least
dangerous of anaesthetics, lays open what
already Is In the mind, unconscious of the
search for Its secrets. He believes that If
a man who has committed a serious crime
should be questioned about It during a
certain stage of recovery from nitrous
oxide, or laughing gas anaesthesia, he
would not. only replyand truthfully, but
half a minute later he would realise truth
fully what he had said.
An interesting experiment u na prize
fighter of international repu.itlon, who
was one of his patients, was made by the
physician administering the nitrous oxide.
