The nisAsl savings bank IS one OF
these. This Is sasklron box, with =

The registering dime savings bank
is one ef the neatsst designs. lt Is made
of oast-iron ana has = dial like 9 clock.
This has two hands. When the dime Is
deposited the hands register the amount
insia.. Tea a0llafs must DO deposited
before the dOor can Be opened. Tho last
dine opens the ao0r automatically.
An improvement upon this has been
pateated and viii be offered TO the pub
llo nsxs season. It contains = bell,
which rings every tims a dime disap-
pears Ia the slot.
Another design s in the form Of an
iron Saratoga trunk. This has little
mechanism IN 'front.' which registers the
amount inside automatically.
The coin registering bank has sort
OF oupola on the top and slot az each
side. one side Is for dimes and tlre
otber FOR nickels. By turning the Gu
pola top the slots are opened to admit
the coin.
Ten dollars IN either dimes or nickels
must be deposited before the money can
be Withdrawn. 1t makes no difference
whether the ten dollars Is all in dimes
or al in nickels. or partly one and
partly the other: but they must be
placed in their respective sides or the
machine will ge, out Of order.
Another similar baak Is the pruden-
tial savings bank. This Is IN the form
OF n safe, with slots 81 tho top, and Is
Tor both nlckels and dimes, being very
nj z
simpler.
TIE most popular form, however, is
that which can De carried around IN the
pocket It Is = simple tube, with a slot
gnder ths Id The dimes as they are
pushed into the tube are held hrmly By
a sorirg. When 0nS hundred OF them
have been deposited the lid comes of.
A registering scale, like that OF the
old-fashioned kitchen scales, runs down
the tubs ana Ettls poiaser indicates
The number 81 dimes inside. The
beauty o. this safe is It's simplicity. and
as is can be carried In the pocket it hai
become very popular.

One ingenious individual had three
dollars in dimes In one Of these pocke
banks. He hsd no ether money in al
