/ METHODS OF CoUNPERFEIFINd Sill
YER COMA silver piece passes cur
rent SO long as the imprint is not bad :
+ ly defaced or weight greatly reduced.
A hole through the coin, however.
condemns it-a fact, we believe. not
generally known. The low value of
silver prevents any such proceedings
as in the case of gold, as the amount
that could be safely distracted will
not pay for the trouble of doing it..
Consequently all silver counterfeits are
true limitations, and there is hardly a
date Of dollar, half dollar or quarter
which has not been copied with re-
markable accuracy. The cCunterfeiter
either makes mould in plaster from
the real coin, and casts from it, or he
stamps his imitation in dies. As this
last process is the same as in use In
the mint5, the cOunterfeits thus pro-
duced are more difficult to detect, be-
cause, besides being more accurately
finished, the compression which the
alloy receives brings it nearer to stand
ard weight. A large number of coun-
terfeit silver coins are made chiefly of
type metal, A very dangerous half
dollar is composed of silver copper
and zinc, and is worth about twenty
seven cents, it is from seven to ten
grains too light Spurious half dollars
have appeared which constantly de-
ceive bank tellers and other experts
because they are of full weight, They
are made of a compound similar to
German silver, and are so we'll plated
with genuine silver that the acid does
not effect them. They are, however,
TOO thick, and the guage, as usual
where the balance fails, shows the
fact COunterfeits of the quarter
dollar, though very plenty, are less
dangerous than those of larger pieces.
They are composed of antimony, tin
and lead, and they are both too thick
and too light, although they have a
good ring. A peculiar composition
has been employed, to which powder
ed glass is added to give a clear
so1nd but this is but clumsy ex-
pedient, as the coin is far below pro
per weight. a fact easily appreciable
by mere handling-ScieHtitic Amert-

THE ORIGINAL OF THE CULTIVATED
PoTATo.-A potato plant (S0IaHuHa
FeIdleri) growing in great abundance
III northern New Mexico is supposed
to be the original of our cultivated DO
tato This native plant forms one of
the chief articles of diet Of the Nava-
10 Indions. The squaws dig up the
small tubers with whatever implements
tley can obtain, often, using a strong.
smooth piece of wood with wedge
shaped end. The plant grows on low,
rich spots, and by spring the earth is
turned up in every conceivable direc-
tion in the search for the poLatos, The
latter are from O1e-half TO three quart
ers of an inch in diameter, and Of good
favor-tasting somewhat like boiled
chestnuts The Navajo Indians con-
sumo such large quantities at time
as to cause gripping pains, and as a
remedy take ut the same meal 4 quanti-
ty of earthly matter containing mag
nesia. which relieves the stomach
Some years ago a aquantity of the tubers
Of this species OF potato were received
and distributed by the Department of
Agriculture Reports from various
localities stated that, in many cases.
these improved under cultivation, and

DEATH IN TIE PEACH.

\ fatal case of poisoning by peach
stonts which has just occurred in
Paris, may serve as a warming to those
families in which children are allowed
to louIl after themselves for hours to-
gether 1t may be assumed that very
few children under tue age say, often
or twelve, have any idea that peach
stones or peach blossoms are danger
Gus. They have been shown the dead
ly nigltshade, and probably the wild
iIeml0ck, and have a canny dread of
them but nurse maids are not nearly
So fond Of pointing out the peach tree
rs an object of horror and aversion.
The victim of the recent accident in
Paris has certainly not been cautioned
against the attractions Of the peach.
He had developed, at the tender age of
five and a half, the faculty of reason
ing on induCtiye principles, ard he saw
10 reason to doubt that as cherry and
apricot stones contained eatable ker-
mails the nOblcr fruit had at least an
equally desirable treasure in its inmOst
recesses. Accordingly he secreted the
stones of a number of peaches which
had been sent to his mother from the
country, and possessing himself Of a
hammer when left alone broke them
open industriously, and then set to
upon a solid feast to which he did
hastY but complete justice. The taste
ct the kernels was not perhaps on a
par with the expectations previously
entertained, bu. it would be ridiculous
to 90 through the severe labor of crack
ing such bard shells without entering
into the fTuitiOn of the labor when once
finished. So the unlucky child was
found by his parent on her return
writlling IN the grievous agonies pro-
duced by. prussic or hydrocyanic acid
The arrival and effoIts of the doctor
were vain, and another item had to be
added Oithe long list of deaths bv
imprudeace 1t is as well, now that
the season of wall fruit has arrived, to
explain What extent of poisoning pro
perties ispossessed by the peach-stone.
The writer's on toxicology state that
an ounce Of the kernels contains about
one grain of pure hydrOcyanic acid,
and 1t is known that one grain of the
poison will almost to certainty kill
any adult person. Two-thirds of a
grain has very often been fatal, and,
indeed, may be regarded as fatal
dose for a child.

How GAS WAS FIRST UsED.-Great
was the amazement of all England
when, at the close of the last century.
VIM. Murdock discovered the use Of
combustible air or gas. SO little was
the invention understood and believed
in by those who had not seen it in use,
that even great and wise men laughed
at the idea.
"HOw could there be light without
wick :" said a member of Parliament
when the subject was brought before
the House. Even Sir Humphry Davy
ridiculed the idea of lighting towns by
gas, and asked one of the proprietors
if they meant the dome Of st. PauI's
for n gas meter
Sir Walter Scott, too, made himself
merry over the idea of illuminating
London by smoke. though he was alad
enough, not SO long after, to make his
own house at AbbotsfOrd light and
cheerful on wintry nights 0y the use
of that very smoke.
When the house of Commons was
lighted by gas, the architect imagined
that the gas ran on fire through the
pipes, and therefore.he insisted Oh their
being placed several inches from the
wall for fear of the building taking
fire. The mem bers might be observed
carefully touching the pipes with their
gloved hands, and wondering why they
did not feel warm.
The first shop lighted in London by
the new method was Mr. Askerman's
on the Strand, in 1910; and one lady
OF rank was so delighted with the
brilliancy of the gas lamp on the
counter, that she asked to be allowed
to take it home in her Garage.

A WONDERFUL FLOWER AT the
home Of Thurlow Weed, in New York
city, there is now or was a few davs
ago in bloom one of the rarest flowers
In the world, the Dove Flower. OF
Spiritas Sanctus, of Brazil. The
flower is rare, even in its native land.
The stalk is about forty inches in
height, with a leaf like that of a tube
rose. On the top are four of the
flowers, the lowest Of which is in full
bloom, the three others in bud. The
Hover in bloom is small, and of the
most exquisite cream color. Its Der
fume is delicious. 1t is similar in
shape and size to the Madeira nut
opened, but still joined. One half of
the flower remains upright, and the
other half lies down exactly at right
angles to its mate. exposing in Che
erect part a most dainty floral grotto.
IN which rests, apparently upon a
perch, a petal shaped like dove about
70 ny, with Outstreached head and ex
tended wings The dove is cream
white, with the exec ption of the upper
extremities of the wings, which are
beautifully speckled The perfection
and hte-!ike appearance of the dove
are Incredible to persons who have
not seen the flower In the land OF its
growth the Spiritus Sanctus is held in
great esteem, and among the super
stltlous, in absolute veneration. MANY
legends are told about the sacred
Hover" Mr.. Weed received the plant.
ABOUT month ago, and it bloomed
