From the Neg York sun.
Two men OF cheerful misa sauntered into
an uptown art gallery on Tuesday evening.
Both were smoking fragrant wee Is. They
had been to one Of the Broadway thesters.
and were still laughing at some of the comi>
cal incidents of the farce. They were going
to have a nightcap. Just as thew had
ordered some hing with fiZz to it and
plenty OF stick 10 it, the man who was set
! ting EN- up caught sight of another ac-
quaintance in the doorway.
you're just 10 time" he cried, cheerily.
have something
The friend didn't care if he did, be said
aud the bartender mixed another fizz with
lots Of stick TO it. The three drank their
liquor lelsurely and chatted about things at
the theater for about ten minutes. Then
the man who did the ordering asked for the
cneck. He got biz of pasteboard stamped
40 cents, and felt in his pockets with an IN
| happy expression on his face.
Thunder and hghtniHg,n he exclaimed
az length, II We lost my pocket book. Well.
that is good 'un on meD
One OF MS acquaintance instantly dived
down into his pocket and yanked up a big
handful of loose silver.
LET me SETTLE" he interposed. But the
other man caught his arm with a reproving
| gesture. ana told him TO keep his silver.
Let the bartender take it out OF this,n
he said, and drawing a little pile of letters
and memoranda from his inside coat pocket.
pulled out strip Of white paper and laid il
| on the bar with the drink check. The paper
was perfectly blank, SO was the look on the
| bartender's face
whats this for?n he asked.
ITO pay for the drinks
"Here, here" retorted the drink singer,
we dont appreciate jokes here. We
haven't got time to waste on 'em.n
That's good for the order" serenely psr-
| sisted the customer.
mo it isn't. 1 want cash-American
cash."
That is good American cash. It's a
| % note, and want my change, too.n
Come of" the bartender exclaimed
Just pay up without any more funny
Then you won't take that for S2Y, said
the customer, apparently surprised.
much"
well, Pll bet $40 you will take it," re-
torted the customer, land I'll prove to you
that 1t is good money of the realm right
now"
He pulled out of his trousers pocket a
| little wooden disk on which rested two tiny
| cylinders. They we're set up on the disk SO
| that the whole continuance looked like a
SNI NAO"-4~S w AhhCA- hS CJALuu6TH were
about three inches long and little over q
| quarter OF an inch in diameter. The GUS
toner fitted the strip of paper between tine
| cylinders, and, putting key in q hole at
the side OF the cylinder frame, began
to turn them. The white paper slowly
| gllded out OF view on one side of the cylin-
| der and a brand-new SCHOLAR bank note
| began to appear on the other side. 1t grew
| longer ana longer as the white paper disap-
peared. When the paper had all disap-
peared, the bank note dropped on the bar.
There" said the customer triumphantly
Now will you take the check out OF thatg'
The bartender had watched the startling
metamorphosis with bullying eyes, He
stared at the bank note for fully q minute.
Then ne picked 1T up, felt of it, and held it
| to the light to see II had silk fiber. The
| fiber was there. Finally he walked up 70
the proprietor and showed it to him.
THAT gentleman made it out Of a piece of
white paper, he said, pointing 10 the Gus
toner.
The face OF the latter was wreathed with
| smiles. The boss examined the note sus-
plclously, out was soon convinced that it
was genuine, and he handed over 81 SIS
| change.
What kind Of machine do you call
| that any howm asked the proprietor.
wouldn't you like to knowl" retorted
the customer. well, it's the little Joker y
he added; lit just coins money out of paper
of any sort, old envelopes protested checks
| prescription blanks, anything.
Then he rammed the cylinders in his
| pocket and walked out. A number of the
other customers tagged after him, and
| asked for the secret of the machine but he
| merely winked his eye, and said nothing.
| The money-making machine is a contriv-
ance that first appeared in the west. It
took the western cities by storm. The New
Yorker had got hold of the first one that
| reached Gotham. There was another of
the machines in tho show window Of a sa-
| loon on lower Broadway on Wednesday.
| Brokers crowded messenger bows and news
| boys away from the window in their eager
| ness to see the cashier, in his leisure mo-
! ments, grind out new bank notes from
strips Of old paper. The brokers stared at
the machine and tried to see how the thing
was done, but they had to give it I'D in de.
spair. The cashier made money from any
paper a customer gave him, but he declined
TO give the money back again. That, OF
course, made 1t evident that the trick de-
pended for success on the machinery of the
tiny wringer.
Watch as closely as the spectators would,
however. they could not see one cylinder
consume the paper and the other cylinder
turn out the bank notes. The secret was
simple, but clever Both cylinders are hol-
low. One is loaded with bank notes wound
around a bar. The other cylinder
is empty when the machine starts
to make money. When the cylinder key
is turned the empty cylinder rolls the paper
| around its center bar, and the money cYlin-
der begins to turn out a bank note. This
can be kept up just as long as the stock of
bank notes in the money cylinder holds
out. Bills of any denomination can be
rolled inside the money cylinder.
