IT is almost incredible that $1,000
600 of counterfeit coin are in %circula-
tion in the United States, besides the
large amount made spurious by the re-
moval Of part of the metal. Counter
felt coins are nearly always lighter thar
the genuine ones, with an exception,
described by the Scientific american
which is a f~ve-dollar piece made Of
gold and silver, and costing the coun'
terfeiter 80. 40 each. Various ingeni
GUS modes are used in stealing geld
from coins. The most common is
sweating" which is done by using
the coin as the anode in an electro
plating bath, the gold being distracted
from it and deposited IN another sur
face. AS much as two dollars worth
Of gold can be taken in that way from,
a double eagle, without making a diff
ference that is readily detected except
by weight. A less scientific plan is to
file the smooth parts of the surface and
reburnish the spots. The most extern
sive fraud is splitting" The operator
saws the coin through neatly. gouges
out the centre until only a thin shell is
left, substitutes a base metal, and joins
the parts again. The ring of the coin
is destroyed and the weight lessened.
Sometimes holes are bored into the edge
and plugs Of lead put in.

AS IF there were not already enough
historical petrihed frauds, one has been
discovered in a cav heal Eureka New.
His lower extremities have been broken
on and are now ON exhibition at Jack
Perry's saloon,'' filling the f~requenters
of that festive resort with awe and adj
miration, and swelling, doubtless, the
receipts of the bar. The believers in
the Cardiff Giant came to such scien-
ti6c grief that most people will be a
little backward in expressing their con-

and as it will cost a great deal to bring
