What Dollar Bills Weigh.

Several customers were chatting in
Lafayette avenue grocery store one
evening recently, says the New York
Herald, when the grocer pointed to
half barrel of small beans and asked
how many of them it would require to
make bushel.
Various estimates were offe ed. Ore
man recklessly put the number down
at SO, 900, which occasioned laugh
from all the others who had guessed a
much larger quantity, ranging all the
way from 5000 to 10000.
well, gentleman reIu arked the
grocer, "you are ali wrong. There are
approximately 119. 900 beans in bush
el.''
No one was inclined to believe him
until he showed them that it took 60
beans, selected at random, to weigh
half an ounce. The rest of the calcu-
tion was simple.
"Now, them" said one of the party,
since we are engaged in guessing con-
tests, how many dollar bills would it
take to weigh as much as silver
dollar"
One said 100, another said rs, while
the grocer, who knew all about
beans, put the figures at 800.
"All wrong" remarked the man."
1t just takes 22.'' This was proven to
be the case by experiment.
