OuuSOSs az Nhdb udlO L ICStuClG liar
rison's administration suspended the
coinage of silver dollars. The accu-
muIated purchases of bullion since that
date amount to 1000, 900 ounces, max
ing total of 140,0O0,000 ounces of un-
coined silver in the treasury today.
Against the silver treasury notes nave
been issued to its bullion value, but no
standard silver dollars have been coined
with which to redeem them. The Sec
retary of the treasury is therefore at
liberty to direct that all or any portion
of these 140.0O0,000 ounces be coined
into silver dollars.
The profits of seignlOrage for the coin
ing of this bullion would make up
wards of $50,0O0,00O if the whole amount
were coined. The moment the secretary
of the treasury
Decides TO Coin
this bullion and places it at the mint for
that purpose, he can treat the gain or
selgnorage thereon as already secured.
The profit is so much additional cash in
the treasury. To coin the whole
amount would, therefore, set free not
only for circulation, but disbursement,
S50.OO0,000 of the silver coin now held in
the treasury for the rede mptiOn of
silver certificates issued against it from
time to time. and would set it free i'm
mediately. All coin SO held would be re-
placed by the bullion in process of coin
age at the mints.
THE coin thus made available could
be Immediately deposited at national
repositories. and, being there deposited,
would at once enter into the circulation
of the country. The present falling off

cate that unless the step is taken of in
creasing its resources by the profits to
be derived by the col mage of the bullion

$4,000, 600 at the close of the current
fiscal year.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Times. COM
menting upon the proceedings in the
United StatSs congress, says: "That a
parity between goldand silver must be
maintained, issagreed by all parties iii
the United States. If Mr. Wilson'S bill
becomes law thething can be done, but
that it can be done II the. Sherman act
remains i'll force. or II silver be ad-
mitted to free coinage, is moro than
doubtful. In either case there is vir-
tually no limit to the silver certificates
or coin with which the country would
be flooded. The silver mems bill and
Mr.. BANDS Dill mention an in
creased ratio - whatever this vague
language may mean. 1t may be taken
as certain ratio. 1t could
not be high enough to be safe.
If it were, it would defeat the silver
mems purpose. Moreover, whatever it
might be ar the moment, there would
be no security possible against its be-
soming unsafe and faulty. Ii Mr.. Will
sons bill becomes law, there will be
no difficulty remaining which cannot
easily be overcome. and credit NAV be
expected to gradually revive. There
can be no finality in such legislation as
the silver men are advocating. Nor
does their past record give them any

The Secret Out.

Why People Long to Throw Them
selves From High Places.
Chevrcul's well known experiments
with the exploratory pendulum and
the livining rod show that if we rep
resent to ourselves Il motion in any di-
rcction the hand will unconSciously re-
alike it and communicate it to til pen
dullm. says Il writer in the Popular
Science Monthly. Tho tipping table
realizes Il movement we are anticipating
through the Intervention of Il real
movement of the hands, of which we
are not conscious. Mind reading. by
those who divine by taking your hand
where you have hidden anything. is Il
reading Of impcrccptiblo motions by
which your thought is translated with
out your being conscious Of them. In
case of fascination and vertigo. which
are more visible among children than
among adults, Il movement is begun,
the suspension Of which is prevented
by Il paralysis Of the will, and it carries
us to suffering and death. When
child | was navigating a plank on the

fall. All ut once the idea came like Il
diverging force. projecting itself across
the rectilinear thought which had alone
previously directed my action. 1t was
as if an invisible arm seized me and
drew me down. l cried out and con-
tinucd staggering over the whirling
waters till help came to me. The mere
thought Of vertigo provoked it. The
board lying on the ground suggests no
thought of a fall when you walk over
it: but when it is over Il prccipice and
the eye takes the measure of the dis
lance to the bottom, the representa-
ton of Il falling motion becomes i'll
tense. and the impulse to fall corrc-
spondingly so. Even if you are safe,
there may still be what is called the
attraction Of the abyss. The vision Of
the gulf as a fixed idea, having pro-
duccd IN Inhibition" on all your ideas
or forces, nothing is left but the figure
OF the great hole, with the intoxication
of the rapid movement that begins in
your brain and tends to turn the scales
of the mental balance. Temptation,
which is continual in children because
everything is new to them, is nothing
else than the force Of all idea and the
motive impulse that it accompanies it.

a clever way of getting Il grip Of
sufficient power upon a towing chain
has been adopted in France. One of
the French methods Of towing vessels
on rivers and canals consists in sinking
a chain at the bottom of the river,
anchored up stream, which passes over
drums of the towing vessel These
drums are revolved by the engines of
the towing vessel, Which is thus hauled
along, the chain cable passing over the
bow and stern of the vessel. This
method Of towing is specially effective
where the currents are strong. in or
der to obtain the necessary grip upon
the tow chain it has been the custom
to pass the chain over a series Of
grooved pulleys. This arrangement,
however, frequently rupturcs the chain,
and thus causes interruption in traffic.
The difficulty is now overcome by OBJ
tanning the necessary FRACTIONAL adher-
ence between the winding drum and
the chain by magnetism. The paying
out chain is maEnetiZed as is also the
towing pulley, but not so strongly, so
that the paying out of the chain at
the stern Of the vessel can be con-
trolled when necessary. In actual tow
ing the FRACTIONAL force can be regulated
to a nicely, sudden strains put upon the
chain merely allowing it to slip tritle
without causing rupture. and as the
steady pull on the chain is maintained
the speed Of the boat is increased

PhotoGraphing in ColOrs.

Photographing in colors has been sue
cessfully accomplished in Berlin. The
method is based upon the fact that all
effects of light proceed from three pri-
mary colors-yellow. rcd, and blue. BY
means Of eolored screens or by dyeing
the Photographic plates three negatives
are obtained Of the same object, each
being sensitive to light only of one
of the primary colors. 1t seems Won
derful that, with all the range of hues
and tints perceived by the eye, a print
ing Of three simple colors is all that
is required to give the necessary effect.
The reason why three impressions are
sufficient to produce the natural colOrs
of an object in all their delcacy Of tint
and shading proceeds from the fact
that every portion of each primary
color that in any way, even in the
slightest degree, enters into combina-
ton with other colors makes it's I'M
preston upon its corresponding nega-
tive, and thus with the three colors re-
produced we have the effect of the orig
inal faithfully reproduced In all its
infinite variations of tint.

\ Shorthand Typewriter.

The Chattanooga Times says: \ pat
cnt has lately been granted to Chat
tanoog;n, e. L. CraigmileS, for stem
ographic typcwritlng machine, Which it
is believed is Il great Improvement
over existing Instruments for shor;-
hand writing. 1t is undnniable that
notes made upon Il machine are far
more lcgiblc than those made by hand,
since they cannot be distorted by nerv-
BUSINESS or haste so as to be unrrcog
nizaDlc, but no matter at what speed
they may be written, always keep
their correct forms. The writing of the
shorthand machine. in fact. has the
same advantage over pencil-madc notes
as the work of the typewriter has over
hastily written long hand, and for the
same reasons. While this is the case,
there have been certain obstacles in the
way OF successful shorthand machine
which have never before been over
come. 1t is believed that this is for
the first time accomplished, and that
this instrument will be capable of great
speed coupled with ease Of operation
and absolute legihility. This legibility
is secured not only by the mechanical
precision Of the characters, but by a
device which renders it possible to in
sert without loss of time vowels in
three-fourths of all words. AS these are
entirely omitted in the practical work
of most pencil as well as machine sys-
tens, stenotipy (as the writing of this
instrument is called has in this an adj
vantage which cannot be easily over
estimated. Corrections may be easily
mada, and the writing, which is made
upon paper from i to inches wide, is
always in sight even to the last letter
printed. The machine will doubtless
not be put upon the market for some
time to come. Mr.. Craigmiles is an
expert stenographer, and has lived in
Chattanooga for Il year and Il half,
being most Of that time employed by
