DEAR SHIN reply to yours Of II o
10Th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. OF New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg 10 say, that il has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more ] see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving Of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 10 400 tons of
cane every 22 hours with the greatest
ease, and il could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives il
without the intervention q any labor,
and as the cane ia thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill Of a
great deal Of strain, thus reducing the
liability OF broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving OF four ~ men daily
on the mill, as only one man n required
to regulate the amount OF cane delivered
by the carrier TO the shredder. II has
Increased the extraction from 4 to
5 per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is tax d 10 its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But l find that the shredder andthe
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the frel. IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 20
see the machine at work TO fully app e
ciate its capabilities.
l remain, very truly yours,

COUNTERFEIT COINS.
6hrewd Methods of Skillful German
Operator.


Operator.
Among the counterfeiters of COM
prratively modern times the German,
Becker, stands pre-eminent. With in
credible skill he engraved dies for up
ward of three hundred types of coins,
principally Roman, and as most of
these were struck in gold-a metal that
does not change in appearance with
time-he realized large sums from un-
wary collectors. Becker was man Of
resource and with some sense of humor.
How to take off the appearance of
novelty from the freshly-struck coins
was a question of difficult solution
He solved it thus: He had a small box
constructed, which he partly filled with
iron filings, and screwed to the springs
of his carriage, and in that box he
placed his newly-struck coins, and then,
as he expressed it. took his old gen.
tlemen drive" on the road between
Frankfort and Offenbach.
The coins came out of the box still
fresh, but with the too glaring bloom
of youth judiciously toned down. At
length the murlset was overdone with
his productions, and Becker, having
ceased to counterfeit, now sold COM
plete sets of impressions in lead from
his dies to tie museums and collectors
who had formerly purchased his forger-
les, so that there might be no difficulty
in identifying what was mis- handi-
work.
Within the last few years numbers of
forgcries of extremely rare coins In the
British Museum and in private collec-
tions have been sold by auction in Lon
don. So good is their execution that it
seems probable that means have been
devised for casting steel dies on plaster
casts or of hardening electrotype dies.
The manufacture of rare ''siege pieces" I"
carried on in one of our midland towns,
shows a far lower amount of skill
When genuine, but defaced, coins are
restrucls with new impressions, it is
very difficult to detect the fraud. Some
genuine ancient coins are surfrappees
in this manner-as, for instance, a
whole class of Jewish coins which are
struck on Roman silver denarii. But
when the image and superscription OF
William III. can be discerned underly-
| ing the device on a rare crown piece of
Eliza beth, the question of its authen-
ticity is soon solved. Mag
azine.

1t Did Not Desert Him in Critical

A good story is told of Bishop (theri
Lieut.. GEM Polk, of the confederate
army, and another general whom
we will call Blank" who now resides
in Alabama:
During the Georgia campaign, and
not long before Gen. Polk was killed at
Pine mountain, he requested Gen. Blank
to accompany him to hill in front of
the lines which commanded an excel
lent view of the position of the oppos-
ing federal forces. The figures of the
two officers outlined upon the sky as
they stood upon this eminence offered
a tempting mark for some federal gun
ners, and in few moments both lay on
the ground stunned and senseless from
the effect of federal shells. The for
tunes of war had brought together a
most distinguished churchmnn and one
of the brAvest and most trusted of For
rests officers. The latter, however, was
not at the time noted for extreme piety,
but was rather given to the use of Wig
orous language and forcible expletives,
which fact the good bishop knew and
regretted; he also knew that his present
companion was one of the very best and
bravest men in the confederate service.
The two officers lay stunned for sew
eral minutes. Gen. Blank was the first
to recover. Looking about him in q

on either side as to whether he was
unionist or q secessionist To these
questions he always replied that,
please God, he was a Methodist
preacher and intended to remain one.
Such answers usually settled the mat
ter, but on one occasion in the little
settlement of Genotown mob headed
by lanky old mountaineer, came
down to the church to mob the
preacher and stop the services, under
the impression that the preacher was q
union spy in disguise. The preacher,
however, insisted ON preaching, and,
after holding forth vigorously at the
leader of the mob and automatically
avoiding political subjects, he noted
signs of weakness in the old man, and,
saying to himself, well, we've
preached the devil nalf way out of hial,
let's pray out the other half" he called
on the leader of the mob to lead in
prayer. The old fellow got down and
prayed like n bishop, and at the con-
clusion of the service went out and dis
persed the mob and promised TO join
the preacher in an eight weeks rev ival
meeting beginning from date.
The young circuit rider had num-
Der of experiences with the soldiers on
either side of the existing unpleasant
ness. They were not so nmenable to
reason rs were the laity, and on one
occasion he met a gray-clad rough
rider of Gen. Imboden's regiment well
down toward Dixie and came near los
ing his horse and saddle-bags, which
made up the whole of his worldly
wealth. The cavalryman got the drop
on him and insisted on very unfair
exchange of mounts and accoutre-
rlents, but the willy minister caught
his opponent off his guard and hit him
good straightforward blow under the
point of the jaw, and after short,
sharp but decisive tussle, rode off with
the cavalryman's revolver, refraining
from giving him the benefit of its con-
tents, although strongly tempted to do
so. The next day he rode boldly into
Gen. lmboden's camp, called on the
commander, and returned the revolver,
with the story of how he had come to
get hold of it. A drumhead court-mar-
tial soon taught the soldier better man
ners toward itinerant ministers, and
the muscular preacher was provided
with pass that afterward carried him
safe through the lines, until, at the end
of six months term of service, he re-
turned to his home north of the line
