A novel application Of the. nickel slot
machine is proposed TO be introduced IN
the shape of an apparatus to deliver an
accident policy FOR $500 to any one who
drops nickel into the machine. The
policy will be good for twenty-four
hours. The box IL as ornamental rs .
French clock. The purchaser drops .
nickel and pulls n handle, when out
comes his policy. A neat device shows
card Empty when the policies are
all exhausted. The machines are now
being constructed and will DO ready fot
market in few weeks. Talking with
Kirby and Dwight, the promoters Of the
scheme, New York SIM reporter asked:
How about counterfeit nickelsy'
"Unless they are made TO weigh anc
measure the same as a genuine nckel
the machine will not work. Besides, II
is larceny TO defrnud by means of''beat-
ing the machine, and there is little
chance that il will be attempted. IL
would just as much penal oifense &c
pass counterfeit money on us by mean:
OF this machine as IL would be TO put II
in our hands.
.'How about conveying the ticket af.
ter nm accident to person who has not
bought itY'
THAT would De cqualiy ifnuus ane
subject the party who participated ia
punishment. But the chances arm very
remote that any such plan could sue
coed. The purchaser of a ticket must
write his name at the time ii is purchas
ed or IT will be OF no value. Then the
probability is that he would have to buy
Il good many tickets before he could
place ono OF them fraudulently, for he
must have as confederate some person
injured in an accident. and that within
twenty-sour hours. Each ticket will be
automatically stamped TO show the ex.
act time OF its purchase. The machine
is ingeniously and nicely made. and IL
far superior TO the English machines
which were first put upon the market.

In this case the benefit Of the ticket Is

the purchase, so that any fraud practicec
by the purchaser would not necessarily
make loss for the company, there he

machine will deliver the tickets as fast
as the money IN put in the slot. ane
when the tickets are all gone tho slot
will be closed"
