SMentinY of Coins.

The Mongolian electricians of Califor.
MIA have, according to the Engineering
Magazine, developed the art Of coin clip
ping by means of electricity.
A consignment of $50, 900 in gold
eagles was recently sent to New York
bank from California, which on exami-
nation, was found to contain twenty
hight weight coins bearing the date of
1891. These were apparently new and
bright, but on being examined with the
lense, showed the surfaces were covered
with infnitesimal pores. About dollars
worth of gold had been extracted from
each eagle by electrolysis, and it is to be
noted that this offense can hardly be
reached by law, even if the offenders
were caught, as the law only reaches
cases where the operation is proved to
have been performed with fraudulent in
tent. This would in any case be diff
cult thing to prove.
We do not know what has led our
contemporary to the conclusion that the
deficiency in weight of the coins in ques.
ton was caused 10y electrolytic action.
y seems more probable that it was caused
by the much simpler and more available
method of solution in aqua regia, which
is process well known, and alas, too
often practiced. This method of ex-
traction of a portion of the metal from
coins is termed Sweating"
The Engineering Magazine is certainly
in error when it states that this offense
can hardly be reached by law, even if
the offenders were caught, as the law
only reaches cases where the operation is
proved to have been performed with
fraudulent intent. The fact Is, that the
debasing of a coin by clipping from it,
rolling it out, melting it up, or other
wise rendering it unfit as a coin for cir.
culation, is an offense against the United
States laws. In many cases there could
be no intention to defraud, as in the case
of melting up or rolling out of coins, in
order to use the metal for other purposes,
still, the person convicted of such prac-
tice would be amenable to the law, al
though not liable to the same penalty as
one who distracted from the weight with
the intention of passing the coin there
after at its original face value. -Elec.
tricity, New York.

Speed of the Pulse.

The rate of puIsation depends entirely
on the movements Of the heart, each
representing contraction of the left
ventricle. The normal pulse of the
adult male varies from sixty to eighty
beats in the minute; he range of indi-
vidual variation is, however, very great.
The range in females is even z eater,
some having a pulse rate of over eighty,
others less than sixty, the majority show
ing a higher rate than males.
In children the rate is more frequent:
At birth, 12S to IA; first year, 100 to
1870; at sixteen years, ninety. In old
age the pulse is usually above seventy
two, but often also between fifty and
sixty. The pulse rate is higher in short
than tall persons, and also varies some
what with the time of day, independent
of meals and movement-diminishin in
the forenoon, rising in the afternoon,
sinking during the night and rising in
the morning. Habitual pulse rates be-
low fifty-sX and as low as forty-siX have
been observed in healthy adults, but
they are rare exceptions. We know of
no case on record Of healthy pulse 50
low as thirty.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Some Curious Lobsters.

Visitors to Portland Pier, Me. who hap
pened one day not long since to drop into
the lobster house of Mr.. Lewis Mcdonald
were favored with view of bright blue
lobster which was caught OIL Cape Eliza
beth by Peaks Island fisherman. The
color was decidedly different from the
green of the ordinary lobster. On the
hack the blue was of that deep variety
that belongs to indigo, and toward the
extremities and under parts shaded off to
fainter but still unmistallable tint, and
thence into a pure white. The under
part of one Of the claws is almost pure
white. The lobster is about eleven
inches long. One claw is of full size,
while the other is very small. 1t is said
that one other blue lobster has been
caughto fl the cape this season. Mr.. Nc
Donald thinks of preserving the speci-
men.
He has also a pure white lobster
caught about five years ago and pre-
served in alcohol, Mr.. Mcdonald thinks
1t is the only one ever caught.
Some of those who viewed the blue
lobster recalled other queer Holsters that
have been seen in Portland. Not long
ago w. S. Trefethen had a lobster that
was half green and half red. A straight,
perfectly distinct line ran from head to
tail along the back of the crustacean.
Upon one side of the line the color was
vivid green and upon the other a
bright red. The lobster was sent to
Professor Spencer Baird and is now in the
Smithsonian. Scientific American,

1t is stated in one of the Swedish
newspapers, as comparison between
American and European business
methods, that locomotive for one of
railways of Sweden was needed in
hurry. 1t was found that in England or
Sweden at least year would be required
for the filling of the order. 1t was
therefore contracted for with the Bald.
win locomotive shops, of Philadelphia,
where it could be had in two months
and half at a cost of $594O, delivered,
considerable reduction upon the
European price. 1t is not that American
locomotive works employ more men or
for longer hours as a rule, the Chicago
Graphic explains, but the most improved
methods and machinery obtain, and there
is closer application during working
hours, and more intelligent labor, even
in those portions of the work classed as
Hunskilled ~

Sail ShIps Not Ont Of nale.

From the returns compile by Lloyd's
Register of Shipping, it app p-ars that in
the year 1891 there were launched in the
United Kingdom Gal steamers of SIS, q
1853 tons, and 1Sl sailing vessels Of 252, %
1853 tons, or Il total of S22 vessels of
l,130,S ,Sl6 tons. These figures do not
include warships. Contrary to the more
or less general opinion in this country
that steamships are destined to com
pletely supersede sailing vessels, the re-
turns show that the number Of sailing
vessels built, as compared to the number
propelled by steam, is relatively incIeas-
ing year by year, aud during the present
year it is thought that the increase will
be still more pronounced. In December,
1883, ten per cent. only of the vessels
under construction in the United King
dom were sailing in 1899, fifteen per
cent, and in 1891, no less than twenty,
five per cent. This shows that the build,
ing of steamships for the merchant ser
vice has simply been oyerdOne, and that
there is still demand for the slower and
cheaper sailing yessels.-Boston Adyer.

The collapse of the Panama Canal, the
gigantic scheme of De Lesseps to connect
the two oceans, seems near at hand. Its
overwhelming financial troubles are
pretty thoroughly well known the
civilized world over, and now they have
been supplemented by a serious dispute
between the canal company and the
Colombian Government. The company,
in order to prevent merchants using its
channel to carry their lumber and
produce to the coast, placed chain
across. The Colombian Government,
deeming this an interference with its in-
dustrial affairs, ordered the chains re-
moval. Thereupon the company placed
the chain across the canal itself. The
Colombian Government, it is said, is now
seriously considering whether it will not
revoke the concession to the company on
the ground that the latter has violated
the terms of its contract by selling part
of its machinery. What the outcome of
the matter will be can only be surmised,
but whether the concession be revoked
or continued the fact remains that the
canal scheme is the most colossal Of
failures.

LOVES HORIZON.

The sky is like a woman's love,
The ocean like a mans;
Oh, neither knows, below, above,
The measure tnat it spansl
The ocean tumbles wild and free,
And RACES round the world;
On reef and wreck eternally
Its ruthless waves are hurled. -.
The sky has many a gloomy cloud
And many a rainy dash;
Sometimes the storms are long and loud,
With wind and lightning flash.
But ever somewhere, fair and sweet
Low stoops the adoring blue,
Where ocean heavenward leaps to greet
The sky so soft and true.
They meet and blend all round the rim;
Oh, who can half divine
What cups of fervid rapture brim
On the horizon line?
The sky is like woman's love,
The ocean like a mans;
And neither dreams, below, above,
The measure that it spans.
