Mysteries of the Telegraph. :. Advantage of

We Glanced to be conversing with the
manager of telegraph Office in his
counting room, when an individual enter

the business was transacted, which was
at the further side of the room, some lit

conversing, made several apparently care.

with pencil, which he held in his hand;
the clerk at the other end Of the room
was, apparently to US, drumming listless-

us were holding an animated colloquial
intercourse, the apparently careless taps

By this time the clerk had bank not

CONTEMPLATING COIN.

The occasional arrest of scamp on
the charge of utterinS spurious coin Of
the realm, reminds us that it has been
estimated by good calcu'ators that fully
ten per cent. of all the apparent gold
coin in circulation is bogus, much OF it
being so admirably executed as to deceive
bauk officers aud other first class Judges.
The natural and legitimate loss in val
ue of gold coin is immense. Small COINS
lose more than the larger denominations.
The estimated loss on the coin in circu-
ltion ia the United States is over ST.
900 900 per annum. This attracted tho
attention Of the United States Govern
ment, and Congress, at u recent session,
made an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose OF continuing the experiments
carried on at the mint in Philadelphia
by Dr. James T. Barclay to ascertain the
best modes Of detecting counterfeit coin
and also to report whether improved
mechanism would enable the Government
more perfectly to guard against its man
u.actures and issue. Dr. Barclay prose
cuted his experiments in Philadelphia,
aud afterward went to Europe to gattcr
further information He is Of the opln-
ion that not less than onc per cent. OF the
silver, and as much as t,ro per cent
of the gold coin in circulation is either
spurious or has been impaired in value,
and yet by processes SO speclousiy PEI.
formed as daily to deceive banks and
brokers.
In the course Of his experiments, the
Doctor found fourteen methods by which
coin is either initiated or tampered with.
He describes them thus:
l. INVITATIONS BY CASTING.
Casting a MEGA of inferior value, bu
resembling the coin initiated as much AZ
possible in color, specii: gravity, ring
etc, is the simplest kind Of counterfeit

to the imitation of silver coin. 1t is yer,

specious, is dangerous.
II. THE GILUING FRAUD.
The gliding fraud is usually etiectc
by stamping soft metal of inferior value
and then coating it with silver or gol
by means of the electrobath, or coverln
it with silver or gold leaf, as in ord'nar
gliding.
The die, with which the impresslo
is struck, is generally a mere cast irol

Mound is immaterial, being concealed r

) the sound, aud. in the case OF sli'e
: coins, the density also, are obtalnable.-
: The fraud, it must therefore be clearl
S seen, is a most spacious and dangero,
c one. Our Inquiries lead us to belie'
that it is carried on, at the present tim
e to a formidable extent.

CELLAR WALLS AND FLOORS.

Most cellars are built without adequate
provision being made for keeping mois-
turc from passing through the walls from
the outside, and up through the earthen
floors inside, during rainy weather. The
cellar of house should be dry, so as to
render it comfortable and healthy, as
moisture, in the lever part of a dwelling,
generally makes the upper stories damp
and chilly, and causes mildew in clothes,
books, and all household articles made of
cloth and leather. Cellars can be easily
built so as to have dry walls, and hard
dry floors and the latter are invaluable
to prevent rats from burrowing, as we'll
as dampness from coming up from the
soil beneath. To render the cellar walls
dry, they should be coated on the outside
with hydraulic cement, mixed with sand.
Houses in our cities have their cellar
walls thus treated, in many instances,
but their floors are neglected To make
cement floor, the surface should first be
rammed down and levelled; then hy-
drsulic cement, mixed with sand, Of
, about the consistency Of thick mortar,
should be laid on to about one inch 10
J thickness, and its surface levelled with Q
scraper made of a thick plank. In lay
ing down such floor, sections of about
eight feet square should be marked off
and finished one after another. A coa
of clean sand or grevel, one inch thick
should be laid on the top of tho cement
and. after it has stood about half an hour
the whole should be rammed down will
a pounder, when the work is complete
after the surplus sand has been swept off
In few days such floor becomes a
hard as stone, and quite impervious t
water.
