BAD SILVER DOLLARS.
Bogus Coins That Can Easily BE Bent IN
Ones Fingers.

Ones Fingers.
The discovery has been made that
there is large number of bogus silver
dollars in circulation. Hence it be-
hooves all who have no silver money
to be on their guard, and he who is
in possession of shekels of silver will
do wise act to examine his financial
possessions. The discovery seems to
have been made by pair Of vigilant
eyes in the employ of the Adams Ex-
press Company. The cashier had two
of the bogus dollars in his possession
this morning.
The coin is the exact size of the good
dollar. and there is b ut the slightest
difference in the weight in favor of the
good coin. The ring Of the bogus coin
would deceive an expert The differ
ence however. is in the complexion of
the coin. If you please. That of the
good dollar is shining with content
ment and prosperity. That Of the
bogus dollar has dull, leaden color.
The expression OF the Goddess
Of etc, on the bogus
coin has bilious expression.
The work on both coins is exactly
alike, showing the bad stuff to be the
work of expert workmen who were
made to die--a joke. Mr.. Samuel c.
Cox. the bookman. has one Of the
bad dollars. that was evidently made
in hurry.
The eaglet seems to be seriously
contemplating an early leaning of her
base. and in fact, is slightly leaving
to one side as though just about to
say Three" This dollar came from
a well-known store on Fourth street.
Duhume has examined the coin and
pronounced it good. Several banks
have come to similar conclusion.
but the cold fact remains that the bad
coin can be readily Bonded by ones
fingers 1t has been said that the
coin is the result of a biographical
error
Mr.. Clarence R Ewes, the secret
service operative Of the Post-office
Department, whose Office is in the
Government building. was asked con-
corning the rumor that there are 6
great many dangerous silver dollars
in circulation.
II think not" said he. 'for the rea-
son that there have been no unusual
complaints for long time. OF course
there is always more or less Of it
There was a sensational rumor recent
ly that a gang Of expert counterfeit

valley. Well. that isn't true to my
certain knowledge.

on one side of the delicate scales. an,

Why Rain Does not Fall Equally in All
Places.

We have learned that rain is caused
by the cooling and condensation of
the moisture in the air. Bearing this
in mind, let us study the surface of
our country and see why the rain
does not fall equally on all parts of it;
instead of falling very abundantly in
some places, as in New England and
some of the Gulf States, and very
sparingly in may parts of the West,
as in New Mexico and Arizona.
The winds which blow to this
country from the south and east, be-
ing warm tropical winds, can hold
much moisture, and are full of this
invisible vapor of water which they
have taken up from the Gulf of Next
co and the ocean. Coming to the
cooler land, they gradually become
cooled. Their moisture, therefore,
falls as rain while they pass over the
land, till, by the time they reach
western Kansas and Colorado, the
moisture being gone, no more rain
can fall. But the winds which come
to this country from the north and
west are colder than the land, and, as
they sweep over it, toward the south
and east, they gradually become
warmer; so that instead of giving up
their moisture in the form of rain,
they are constantly taking up the
moisture from the earth. 1t is for
this reason that cur north and west
winds are dry winds, and mean fair
weather; while the south and east
winds bring rain. For this reason,
also, the Eastern and Southern States
have an abundance of rain; while
the Central and Western States are
often very dry.
And there is still another point to
be considered. We already have
noted the fact that at great heights
the air is cooler. Hence, when q
warm wind full of moisture comes
blowing across the country and
strikes mountain range, it bends
upward and rises high in the air tc
pass over. In so doing it becomes
cooled, giving up its moisture, and
passes over to the other side dry
wind. 1t is for this reason that some
islands, like the Hawaiian Islands ir
the Pacific Ocean, where the winds
blow almost always from one direc
ton, are subject to almest continuous
rain on one side while on the othel
rain is exceedingly rare. This also
is why California, west Of the Sierri
Nevada mountains, receives sufficien
rain to make the soil dit for cultiva
ton; while Nevada on the east, il
nearly rainless and barren. TIL,
moisture coming from the south ant
east is all condensed by the Allegha
ny, the Rocky, and the Wahsatcl
ranges; while that from the west i
cut off by the Sierras. Hence, tn
great extent of country known t,
biologists as the great Basin-whicl
reaches from Oregon on the north t,
, Mexico on the south, and from Colo
RADIO on the east to the Sierras on tn
, west, comprising an area of not les
. than 2OO,5OO square miles, which
nearly equal to the whole of France
receives over its surface rainfall @
not over four inches, and is therefor
a esert.-St. Nicholas for April.
