A railroad has been projected from Peekshu to
Carmel, by the way of Lake Michigan, Jefferson Valley,
and Lake Mahopac. Dividends, we opine, would be
scarce among the stockholders in that road.
The report of Professors Rogers and yethake, con-
ce ming the experiments at the Mint at Philadelphia,
to test DR.. Barclays plans for preventing loss upon
coins by abrasion and couneroiting embraces very in
tersiing facts DIR. Barclays positions in the matter
are as follows: i iIN t'.'l' -aa
|. Tba, coins Of the United siatos sustain very
rious loss from ordinary wear and tear aud much Of
that loss may be easily saved. r .,
g Our coins extensively, probably, ana easily
counterieied, subeeting tte public 10 great loes.,
g. That every method Of ccunterfeitIng NJ all spe-
cisus or dangerous can be entirely prevented and that
ali other attempts on the integrity of COLI can either be
entirely frustrated or materially o6vated as 70 De
rendered virtually Impossible. 1905. =.
The amount OF anIiual loss by abrasion of coin is
s,sed be thee-fouths of million OF dollars calc-
laiing the bullion Of the country to be S2O,oOOVo0.
Tie chief r,medy on this point Is 70 make the com
thicker aud to change the figures All GUNS lose most
abrasion the first year. and those of larger denomina
ton lose than those Of smaller by reason OF great
er exposure Of surface. The loss IN this way annually
as TO 20. -t.. f...... 81.
Fourteen methods of counterfeiting coins are report
ed upon at length under general headings as follows
Casting; gliding; coming alloys; eounterielting with
alloy by chemical process altering and gildng SILVER
coin facing fraud; saving and inserting fraud; drill
ing and plugging fraud evscerating fraud the pher-
pberal fraud gslvanic plaster; sweating and chemical
reduction ' i''f'
The annual loss by this oounterfeitng stated at
per cent on silver, and two per cent on gold ores
The report throughout indorses DIR. Barclays
methods and states that It is altogether within the
reach Of the present advanced skill in workmanship
and perfection in mechanism TO combine IN our coinage
oil improvements which he would employ. This po-
stion is sustained by testimony Of very many expe-
rienced citizens. II is recommended TO the Govern
ment embody in practical form the several protec
tive devices suggested by DIR. Barclay for all denom-
nations OF silver and gold COINS The cost o 70 .ne

lars would be magnificent compared with the vast
pecunary and moral benefits that would accrue to
the country. ...t.-....s.. .r....t OIL.
