In certain parts OF the money factory they
are not allowed out from morning TIL night,
their dinners being brought to them.
AS has been said, the pieces are not
weighed singly, but in quantities. The
process of impressing the inscription on
both sides of the blanks Is superlatively
simple one where modern machinery Is con-
cerned. A dozen large coming presses, one
the biggest in the world, stand together
in one room. Each machine is furnished
with brass tube like the mouth of an of
fice-speaking pipe, and into the aperture in
question girls simply drop the blanks as
quickly as they like. The almost nolseless
machine is quite automatic; the blanks are
quietly pushed by it one by one between the
diverse and the reverse dies, the dies come
together, and the blanks move on and
smartly rattle down a tube into box
placed to catch them. The biggest press is
suffici emily powerful to have stamped such
large affairs as the jubilee medals, which
are three inches in diameter When the
blanks have been converted into coins by
the dies they are, for easier and more GER
tain inspection and for counting, spread out
on counting boards" which have exactly
a hundred holes When finally passed, they
are packed into strong boxes or barrels.

side rows after the pattern, stitching
through canvas and felt, thus fastening
them securely to the felt and giving the
appearance as if they were solldly worked
across it. Then stretch the cover over the
table and finish it with bali fringe tackled on
with gilt-headed tacks.
The different marks in the patterns de-
note the shading. the explanation of which
is as follows: For Fig. 2, Butterfly and
Bird, the solid black squares indicate black;
black squares with white star in center,
dark bronze brown. The white squares
with fine lines indicate medium bronze
brown. The white squares with diamond
shaped center, light bronze brown. The
black squares with white square and dot
in center, dark red. Black squares with
white diamond and dot, medium red. The
white squares with two light diagonal lines

The white squares with ring, light blue.
The black squares with five white dots,

of steel, with no air inside II as an ironclad
has, and yet it floats. Why?
The metal is Lot wetted by the liquid, and
it forms beneath it and at its sides small
depression, the size of which is consider
able compared to the size Of the floating
body. The volume of liquid displaced both
by the body and by this capillary effect is,
in fact. OF greater weight or the same
weight as the floating body, and so holds it
up.
There is another and surer way of per-
forming this startling experiment, which is
a favorlte one among those fond of para
doxes On the surface OF the water is laid
a thin piece of unslzed tissue paper, on
which Is put the needle. In a few moments
the paper is saturated and falls to the bot
tom, leaving the needle floating alone.
In this way steel needles can easily be
fioated on still water, and If the needles are
magnetized they Will point north and south,
and act as collpasses. With care this use
of the thin paper can be so extended that
three cents can be f1oated-an experiment
almost as startling as that in which heavy
bodies are fioated in liquids Of high specific
gravity, such as are used by gem merchants
and physicists.

entire sets, lace trimmed, with the corset

Very low, falling in chatelaine braids, or
high on the head and well forward, are the
most popular styles for hair arrangement.
The chatelaine is but a poor Introduction OF
meaningless hair arrangement and has
decidedly too mussy look. On top puffs
and braids are laid fat, interspersed
with clustering curls. The straight,
pointed or square bang. suited to but
few types of face, have at last found
their fitting sphere among a select
few. The bushy, curly bang, at no time
refined or becoming, has dwindled to light
curls, half brushed from the forehead.
