SWEATING BY ELECTRICITY.

SWEA ING BY ELEC CIT
Clever Japanese Rogues Who Can Steal
Fifty Cents from an Eagle.
The methods of the japanese, who,
for the purpose of defrauding the gov.
eminent, will spend days on the scoop
ing out of a small silver coin, which he
eventually fills with baser metal, arr
much improved on in these progressive
days. n large number of short weight
gold coins are in circulation, and the
frequency with which they are met
with has led 70 Investigations which
show that there has been for some time
a systematic scheme for robbing the
government by stealing metal from the
coins.
Some years ago a series of tests wert
made by the government for the pur
pose of defining the actual loss by
abrasion in the moving of gold coins.
II was found that five dollars was LOST
by abrasion every time 81, 900. 900 in
gold coin was handled. Bags con.
tanning S. 900 each were lifted to G
truck TO be removed to another vault.
and the mere lifting of the 200 bag
caused the loss stated, and their trans.
fer from the truck again made a second
similar loss.
This shows how readily gold can BE-
removed from the coins, but this meth
cd is much too slow for the clever
rogues, who realize the value of scien
tific appliances. The work Of abrasion
is nov done by electricity. after the
manner of the electroplating Of gold.
An ordinary galvanic battery and some
cheap acid is procured.
The coin is placed in the fluid, and
attached to it are wire from the poles
of the battery, leadin 2 20 another piece
of metal prepared to ,ceive, in the form
Of plating, the met [ TO be removed
from the coin. Sufficient gold TO form
a plating is quickly transferred, and, a.
il is removed uniformly from all parts
of the coin, the Liability Of disfgure
ment is reduced TO a minimum, the
only effect being TO blur the character
slightly.
In this way about fifty cents worth
OF gold AN be removed from "a ten dol
lar goldpiece without a very marked
change in the appearance of the coin.
The eye Of an expert, however, detects
the alteration at a glance. one of the
employees in the New York s%ub-treasury
is said TO have become SO skilled in thi.
branch of the work by years Of expert
ence that he a tell by mere touch,
with closed eyes, whether a piece il
spurious metal or has been tempered
with.
1t is stated that the sweating Of golC
by electricity in this country is practiced
almost entirely by foreign swindler
who have been driven from their "
country for similar DEMONSTRATION

There is little doubt but that many per-
sons suffer for years with ailments that
could easily be cured by the use of some
simple remedy. The following incident is
an illustration Of this fact: My wife was
troubled with pain in her side the greater
part of the time for three years, until cured
by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. 1t has. I
think, permanently cured her. We also
have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
whenever needed and believe it to be the
best in the world. P. NJ Boston, Pennville,

ZEAL ESTATE SALES.

Recent sales of central real estate
show material advance in prices, sew
eral parcels having been lately sold at
handsome profit after a short holding.
This affords pleasing evidence that the
improvements now in progress, compris-
ing public, corporate and private enter
prises, have already directed the atten-
fion of investors 10 the fact that as good
opportunities for the advantageous em.
ployment of capital exist here as else
where.
The transactions also show large
number OF small buyers, indicating that
homes are being acquired by the people.
This is most important element in the
prosperity of the city and promises well
for Us growth and improvement.
It is wen to remember that this state
Of things would be impossible under a
tariff for revenue only. There are prac-
tically no small holders Of real estate in
England.

STATEMENTS AND FACTS.

In his Newcastle address, Mr.. Glad
stone in speaking of the American sys-
tenn of protection said: "Our children
and kinsmen in America to whom we
have looked and still might look to teach
us many n useful legislative lesson have
set us in this matter an example of a
retrograde nation"
There was something more pathetic in
Mr.. Giadstone's use of the words " our
children and kinsmen" than he perhaps
realized. The past ten years has wit
messed the emigration from England to
this retrograde nation" of thousands
of skilled laborers who are literally the
children and knsmen" of the men to
whom Mr.. Gladstone was then speak
ing. Mr.. Gladstone may speak pity
ingly of the example that America sets
for England: he may call us a "retro-
grade nation" if he chooses, nor will it
diminish our respect for him; but the
statistics of immigration form most
eloquent refutation of his statements.
When the children and kinsmen of
Mr.. Gladstone's hearers cease sending
for their relatives to come to America,
and begin TO return themselves TO Eng
land, it will be quite time enough for
Mr. Gladstone to speak of this country
as a retrograde nation"
