AN ALIBI OFFICE.
London Institution Which Malxca
Pretended Travel Look Real.

A London Institution Which Makes
Pretended Travel Look Real.
From the London Telegraph.
Novel ideas are being put into practice
every day. and If rumor is to be believed
the latest thing in original conception has
assumed the form of an alibi Office. What
is an alibi office? the bewildered reader
may be inclined to ask Well, in this par
ticular case it is an establishment which
undertakes to post letters from any and
every corner of the world. 1t is, in fact, a
sort of philanthropic institution, devised
for the benefit of persons who, while re-
naming quietly at home in a sort of in
cognito condition, can make believe that
they are on a long tour. Thus is human
vanity satisfied, and thus are the expenses
of a regular journey saved. A man takes
leave of his friends at the close of the sea-
son with the announcement that his recrea-
ton will assume the form, for instance, of
run through Spain and Portugal and at
regular intervals follow letters from Mad
rid. Seville, Lisbon. Oporto and so on, duly
stamped and postmarked.
The alleged promoters of the enterprise
are represented as arguing that, after all,
this pleaseS the people who do not care for
the trouble and fatigue Of travelling but
are eager to enjoy the prestige with which
a grand tour Will, they fancy, invest
them in the eyes Of their friends. AS to
the logic of this line of reasoning, to say
no more, your readers may safely be left
to draw their own conclusions. After all,
this may be mere report, for the office Is
described as being a very discreet institu-
ton, having no outward and visible sign of
existence

Washing Precious Metal.

In company with the coiner we go to
room on the lower floor, where the sol1 is
washed before coming. The yellow blanks
are carried down stairs in wooden boxes
and are emptied into a big copper col
ander. the lid of which can be tightly
closed. When the colander is nearly full
it is raised by machinery and dropped into
a vat of acid The acid quickly eats off
the dirt, and fifteen minutes later the coins
are bright and shining. The colander
is now raised and dropped several times
into a bath of clear water to get rid of
the acid, and the washing is complete.
The drying Is done in a hot cylinder. This
cylinder is half filled with sawdust. After
the coins are dumped in it is made to re-
volve by machinery. and the disks
become dry, they are thrown out into
barrel of wire netting, through the meShes
of which the sawdust drops, and from
which the golden disks now of beauti-
full pure yellow, flow on into box. in which
they are carried upstairs to be coined.
In the Coming Room.
Now comes the stamping Of the blanks
with the impressions which turns them
from disks of gold into gold eagles. This
work is done by what is known as the
coining machine. The golden blanks are
fed through a tube, which drops them
down one at a time on what might be
called little brass table AS the yellow
disks drop steel finger and thumb comes
out from the machine and grasrs it and
places it between two dies, which move
up and down between enormous steel arms
The upper die bears the picture of the
Goddess of Liberty and the lower that of
the American eagle and the lettering OF
what might be called the tail side of our
gold pieces. AS the disk comes between
these two dies an enormous pressure is
exerted. The dies squeeze it and a second
later they drop it, with the perfect i'm
preston of one of gold double eagles
upon it. AT the same time the machine
carries it off and drops it into a box pro-
vided for the purpose. while the steel feed
ers have placed another blank between
the dies. The gold coins are now handed
over to the counters. They are separated
into two classeS-known as lights and
heavies-for some weigh just trifie more
than others. The light ones and the
heavy ones are mixed together and then
stored away in little bags ready for ship
ment to the banks in the United States or
to the subtreasuries, as may be demanded.

His Life Depended on Ii.

From the New York Tribune
E. r. Gunby, the republican candidate for
governor of Florida, tells this story: "A
colored man was working on the wharf in
Savannah the other day. and was paid off
in silver. He put a half dollar in his
mouth to bite ii and see if IL was lead and
II slipped down his throat and stuck about
halfway down. In great alarm he ran to

He Forgot His Brides Name.

"Say, please hold on there, my friend
Wait till go home and get her last name
I'll be back before long,
This was the funny exclamation made by
a man In the probate court Thursday after
he had entered his own name and the given
name of his prospective wife on the license
book.
Clerk Schwab, who was dispensing the
young mans wants, looked up startled 1t
was one of the most amusing things he had
run across in his diversified career behind
the counter. After vainly trying to suggest
the missing name he agreed there was
nothing left but to go home after it.
The young man was Eugene Murphy. He
dictated and spelled out the name Of his

there it suddenly stopped. Murphy blushed.
looked slightly-just slightly-dieturbed,
turned all sorts Of colors in a minute, and
finally thought he'd give it up. That is pre-
cisely what Clerk Schwab did. After tar
rylng with his pen in hard for a few min
utes. he told the young man to come hack
after he knew whom he was going 10
marry.
Meanwhile, an Interrogation point was
left as a substitute for the troublesome ap-
pendage. Better make 1t What d. you

it would have fitted the case to IT.
Were you ever in such predicament?"
mildly queried Murphy. Say, but it's
tough, boys. She'll think I'm forgetting
her thus early. But I'm not. 1 hope you
will fare better
Then he departed to solve the fatal CO.
nundrum.
1t seems that Murphy did solve it. Later
in the day the missing name was found on
the register. Only the difference in the
of q prospective husbands plight. The full
name was Augusta Krentz.

PEACOCK FARMING,

An Occupation Requiring Skill, but
Accompanied by Great Rewards.
From the Boston Globe
Raising peacocks and pheasants is a new
business In this country. To supply their
wants a number of millionaires are inn
porting birds and eggs from England.
George Vanderbilt is among the number
He has already lot Of peacocks of the
breed curiously called "Japanned"-per-
hapS because their feathers have a metal
lie, lacquer-like glittering. They are often
wrongly spoken of as the japanese or
Japan peacock. Theodore Havemeyer has
| recently imported a lot of pheasant eggs
of the choicest breed. He sent them 10 his
model farm. Mahwah, N. j., and then in
vited company of bantam hens to hatch
out the young birds.
Peacocks. although not a common sight
IN this country, are occasionally seen;
pheasants are even more rare-but. as al
ready said, a demand has arisen for Them
and n lucrative business should be carried
on in dealing with both the eggs and the
birds.
IN Suffolk, England, there is a pheasant
! NEW upon one estate where more than
100000 eggs are sold annually. To visit
Warwick Castle Is to see peacocks in all
| their glory; indeed, the place is famous for
these birds, OF which the handsomest are

and occasionally fresh vegetables. In VIM
ter they must have a sheltered home. In
summer they avail themselves of the shell
tered trees, and in some secluded nook the
nest is made. The hen should be left TO

all written fr superb fourteenth century
German text. This book, which is an in
valuable authority for the study Of the
music OF the middle ages, has now been
MADE accessible to wider circle by
Photographic reproduction on the same
scale as the original. The 1873 leaves of the
precious parchment manuscript were pho
type process. Two separate editions have
Deen prepared. one of 10 copies, printed
on Two sides on 133 leaves as in the origi-
nal. the other, of 30 copies, on one side
only Of 266 leaves.
In the preface. Dr. K Muller, director
or fhe university library, gives a brief ac-
count OF what Is known concerning the
manuscript 1t came, in 1913. from Witten-
oers. with the electors library, into the
keeping of the Jena University. Nothing
certain Is known as to Its origin and pre-
Vlous history; the care with which 1t is
executed and its unusual size-the leaves
are n1ty-slx centimeters long by forty
one broad-would seem to show that 1t was
designed for some special purpose. The
initial and final pages, which may have
contained remarks that could give some
information on this matter, are. unfortu-
nately, missing. The binding of wooden
covers completely incased in beautifully
pressed white leather belongs to the six
teehth century; the chain, by which the
precious manuscript. in accordance with
the custom of those times, was fastened
10 the reading desk Is still preserved On
the inner side Of the front cover, as is the
case with many of the books which came
from Wittenberg. is a wood cut, as book
mark of the bust of the Elector Johann
Friedrich the magnanimous, with some
Latin verses in his praise. To the outer
side of the same cover is attached a strip
OF parchment with the inscription: Elm
aldt Metstergesengbuch auff pergamen"
ian old Meister song book on parchment
The Jena manuscript has one very spe-
c1ai merit, viz, that to the words are add
ed the tunes. This makes it of particular
Importance In the study of music The
notes are written on only four lines, as
always at that time, and in the keys of
and F. The flats only are marked. The
manuscript Is written almost throughout
by one and the same hand of the four
teenth century; some notes in the margin
and Wfzlay's poems alone are written by
later hand. The contents of the manu-
script include poems by twenty-eight Min
nesfngers and Meistersingers, as we'll as
songs for the 'Sangerkreig," on the Wart-
burg.
The undertaking has met with a very
favorable reception, even outside the i'm
mediately interested circle of specialists and
public libraries. 1t has been assisted by
subscriptions from the Emperor William
the Grand Duke of Weimar and the Duke
of Me-ningen.

much corn. and yet the precious metal is
so near the hungry crowd above that, as
you stand in the vault, you can almost
hear the tread of the passersby upon the
pavement. Another vault which I visited
had great piles of golden bricks In one
corner of 1t there was cord of golden
cakes, each of about the size of the ordi-
nary cake of soap. and this pile was big
enough to fill the largest dry goods box.
1 lifted one gold brick, which weighed
about forty pounds. and which the meltey
and refiner told me was worth 80 900. 1t
was not bigger than the average clay brick
used in house building. and under it there
were a score of boxes filled with bricks of
the same metal. some of which were al

In the shape of the wonderfully beautiful

all. not an atom of gold or silver was lost.
These are the processes we shall see in
our trip through the mint.
How Uncle Sam Buys Gold.
Our first visit is to the cashiers Office
We shall go to the deposit or weighing
room. where all the gold and silver first
comes. and where 1t Is weighed and ac-
tually tested before 1t is paid for. The room
is only a few steps from the front door of
the mint. We follow an express messenger,
who Is carrying a golden brick from the
mines Of Montana. There he stands at
the door. He lifts the brick with his two
hands and passes it in through a little
window like teller'S window at the bank.
We can see through the grating into the
room where it goes. The deposit clerk
takes it and lays 1t on one side of pair of
heavy brass scales. The scales do not
down to the thousandth part Of an ounce,
and the weight of the brick. to the one
hundredth part of an ounce Is ascertained.
The deposit clerk now writes out q re-
ceipt, stating the weight, and hands this
back to the expressman. The gold brick
Is now in the hands of the officials Of the
mint 1t will not be paid for. how wever, un-
til 1t Is known Just how fine is the gold of
which 1t Is made. Gold Is never found
tains more or less silver. and 1t is some
times mixed with copper and lead. Before
Uncle Sam buys 1t he has to know to a cent
Just how fine II Is, and the deposit clerk
sends the brick or to be melted. He puts
1t into an iron box and locks the same with
two keys. and 1t Is carried to the deposit
melting room. We have letters from the
Kretz the superintendent, and through
these the officials admit us, and we follow
the brick. We enter a room which looks
like an immense kitchen Into its sides
are built four great ranges. the tops of
which slope upward at the back at an an

mint is the largest and oldest Of the United
States. 1t is said to be one Of the finest
mints of the world. 1t coins millions OF
dollars worth of gold and silver every
year. 1t has, since it's beginning. during
the presidency of George Washington, pur-
chased more than a billion and half dol
lars worth of gold. Its vaults now contain
almost 500, 900 in gold and silver, and
its wonderful machinery is turning golden
bricks into golden eagles. 1t Is coming sill
yer at the rate of thousands of dollars a
day, and a walk through it's treasure cham
bers would lead you to think that the
United States has a vast surplus of coin,
rather than being, our stump speakers
say, in the midst of a money famine.
A Walk Through Our biggest Money
Factory.
Let US take a walk through this great
money factory and see how Uncle Sam
buys gold and silver bullion and turns 1t
into coin. The mint, you know. is in the
heart of Philadelphia. 1t is only a block
or 80 from the city hail. and not more than
a stones throw from John Wanamaker's
big store. Thousands of hungry-eyed
empty-stomached people go by 1t every
day. Fortunes are being carried in and
out of it continually. and a few blocks of
stone and a plate or two of steel are all
that separates its treasures from the
hungry mob. 1t has q single vault which
contains more than fifty million standard
silver dollars. The money Is tied up in
bags ard stacked against the wall like so
