HOW DIMES ARe MADE
How the Little COins Are turned Ou1 cJ
the san Francisco Mint.

How the Little COins Are turned Out ny
the san Francisco Mint.
The silver dime is useful little coin,
and Just at present they seem to De In
demand; so much so that the San Fran
cisco mint is turning them out at a
great rate.
The process of dime-making is an
interesting one. The silver bullion Is
first melted and run into two-pouho
bars. These in turn are run through
immense rollers and hattened out 10
the thickness of the coin These Sill
YER strips are then passed through a
machine, which cuts them into proper
size for the presses, the strips flrst
having been treated with a KIND OF
tallow to prevent their being scratched
in their passage through the cutters.
The silver pieces are then put into
the feeder of the printing presses, and
are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate of 100 per minute,
4S, 900 dimes being turned out in
regular working day of eight hours.
AS the smooth pieces are pressed
between the ponderous printing dies,
thew receive the lettered and figured
impression in a manner similar to that
of a paper pressed upon a form OF
type At the same time, the piece is
expanded in a slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut into its rim
The machine drops the completed
coin into a receiver, and it is ready for
the counters hands. The instrument
used by the counter is not a complicat-
ed machine by any means, as one might
suppose. 1t is simple copper-colored
tray, having raised ridges running
across it's surface at distance apart
the exact width of dime.
From the receiver the money is
dumped on the board or tray, and as it
is shaken rapidly by the counter the
pieces settle down into the spaces be-
tween the ridges. All these spaces be-
ing filled, the surplus coin is brushed
back into the receiver, and the counter
has exactly 1850 dimes, or 1925, on his
tray which number is required to fill
the spaces. The tray is then emptied
into boxes, and the money is ready for
shipment.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher's hands, as does the coin of a
larger denomination. One and one
half grains is allowed for variation, Or
tolerance" in all silver coins from a
dollar down, and the deviation from
the standard in the ten-cent pieces is
so trifing that the trouble and expense
of weighing coins of this denomination
is dispensed with. Golden Days.

Mathematician at Work.

A Gre man journal, the Neueste
Nachrichten, has made a calculation
of the number of minutes in the
Christian era up to the end of the
year 1888. The calculation is as fol-
lows: 1888 multiplied by 365 days,
with 460 leap days added, gives a
total of 6S9,5S0 days, which contain
16, $40, 920 hours, or 992. 995, 200 min
utes, Or less than a milliard by 1904
800 minutes. A correspondent of the
Scientific American points out that il
the indemnity exacted of France by
Germany 5000, ZOO trancs) after
the war of 1901 were to be paid
at the rate of francs (about 81 for
every minute since the beginning OF
the Christian a, the payment would
not yet have been completed The
Germans would have had to wait for
full payment, in fact, till the 2Sth O.
April, 1902.

WANTED---MORE LIGHT.
Bob Burdette Addresses Request to tn
Fifty First Congress.

Fifty-First Congress.
Permit me to suggest measure of
reform and relief which the Ii. Con-
gress might pass and which would re-
fleet great luster upon President Har-
rison's Administration. 1t might be
entitled "a Bill for the Relief of Peo-
pie who Walk in Darkness" or Gan
Act to Prohibit the Use of Gas by Peo-
pie who Can Not Afford It." And I'll
tell you why l favor such legislation.
| am fond of the light; 1 love airy
houses with many windows and not too
many shades; enjoy bright rooms at
night; l dislike sleeping in a dark
room; l don't care to sleep under an
electric light and / know that dark.
ness rests the eyes. but I al
ways want enough light around
to enable me to distinguish rocking
chair from bureau and door from a
window. But we can get along well
enough when we are asleep; what we
want is plenty of light when we are
awake. Well, now; you know the
house l mean: you have been in it.,
where the people burn gas and econo-
mize with it. A parlor as big-though
not quite so cheerful the morgue, is
''lighted" isn't the word l want,
exactly, but you know what mean
Y one burner in a chandelier of half
uozen, and the dim religious light
makes you feel as though you were at
tynding your own funeral. Suppose
you are guest and come out of your
own room. leaving the gas burning
brightly; if you will return in five
minutes you will find that some careful
body has been in there and turned the
gas down till it turns blue. If you vent
ure to turn gas jet on to full head i,
that you may read, the minute you lay
down the book somebody turns down
the gas. There is one drop-light in the
sitting-room; around this ray of cheer
fulness the family gathers, now and
then looking timidlv over their shout
ders toward the shadows that Turk in
the gloomy corners of the room. The
house, from sunset to bedtime, is
shronded in a CHASTITY twilight sort
OF joke intended; it's a subject too
solemn for jesting. There is no econ
omy in this short of thing; gas bills
never vary; and it's no way to live. A
dim, religious :ight is the boss light to
go to sleep by, but It's heathenish anu
wicked to live by.-Burdette, in Brook.
