COPPER CENT MUST GO.
Experiments to Find "a Successor to
Begin Soon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Minor coins
of the United States government may
be cast in nickel and alloy Recent ex-
perimentS with aluminium and various
alloys having proved unsuccessful, the
attention Of the congressional commit
tee on coinage has been directed toward
finding some substitute which would
answer the purpose, 1t having been de-
cided unWise to continue the use Of cop
per.
1t is not the intention to use pure
nickel for the coins. The scent piece
really contains only Is per cent Of
nickel, the balance being of copper.
Switzerland is the only country in the
world which uses pure nickel for coin
age. 1t is found in the coming of the
metal there that the operation is very
slow and expensive. This, therefore,
puts an end. according to the belief
of the coinage committee, to the project
of coming any United States money out
of the metal without alloy.
c. w. Stone, chairman Of the house
coinage committee, says that the expe-
rtence of Austro-Hungary and Switzer-
land as far as pure metal was con-
cerned, proves that the coinage with
out alloy can only be carried on to
limited extent.
Experiments with aluminium were not
satisfactory, but it is not altogether
CeI IdIH IIIdI aluminium may not yet
be found useful when combined with
nickel. The metal has never yet found
place in the currency Of any nation,
although there has been any amount of
talk concerning it, and the experiments
III the Philadelphia mint were watched
with the keeneSt interest by the repre-
SentatiVes Of foreign nations in this
country. Those who caused the expert
ments to be made believed that the
very light weight of the metal would
give cents made Of it a decided advan-
tage over coins Of copper.
OF the alloys possible from copper,
tin, nickel and aluminium in different
combinations, not more than fifteen or
twenty were found entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t is barely possible that one or
two Of these alloys may be advantage
Ously utilized in general coinage. With
the aluminium, however, great difficulty
was found during the experiments, be-
cause it was very hard to anneal When
heated it would suddenly run like but
ter instead Of becoming plastic. There
was trouble in rolling it into the long
strips from which the disks were cut
out preparatory to stamping. 1t was
found that, like nickel, it could not be
worked with sufficient ease and rapid
ity to make it practicable for coming
on a large scale.
The mint experiments include comb
nations Of nickel, copper and zinc, form
ing the alloys known under the head of
German silver; copper and tin, which
produce bronze; aluminium and conner
which produce aluminium bronze. Ger

CHICAGO. Feb. &.-Wheat, notwithstand-
ing the exceptional dullness of trading, closed
firm at 14Q&c advance. Crop damage re-
ports and good cash demand were features
of the closing strength. Corn, oats and pro-
visions were almost lifeless, and closed at
substantially yesterdays final prices Wheat
opened at little improvement over yester-
days closing figures, May, 741A@743sc, an
advance of 1sc. There was considerable bull
news on hand at the opening. Liverpool was
Ad higher and consols a shade lower. The
cold wave fulfilled in its bitterness all the
predictions Of the weather bureau, and do
nestle receipts were light Chicago inspection
showing only 10 carloads compared with SO
year ago, and Minneapolis and Duluth, 230
cars, against 301 the week before, and 400 the
corresponding day of last year. The weeks
cIearances OF wheat and -four from both
coasts were the smallest from the crop, the
total being only 1872 ZIG blu, against 2,102, 600
blu the week before. The Argentine ship
ments to Europe were only 100, goo blu, COM
pared with 1882 600 blu the corresponding
week of 1896. In addition, crop damage re-
ports from the Southwest were persistentiy
circulated, and st. Louis, as was the case,
yesterday, sent good many buying orders on
the strength of them. The price slowly rose
| to 7412c, and then the inevitable sag came,
the price slowly reacting to 737sQ74c. Then
1t commenced to rise again, helped by a
good cash demand. People from various dis
trlcts were here today buying spring wheat
for seed, because their winter wheat was
dead. The orders for spring seed came from
tWenty-four or twenty live scattered localities
In this state. Owing to the persstency of the
claims of widespread damage to wheat July
was much more in demand than May. Near
the close of the session rumors of increasing
complications growing cut of the Graeco-
Cretan troubles were added to the other mat
| tiers already referred to- and the market
closed strong at nearly the best prices Of the
day. May finally sold; up to 74120749sc, and
| closed at 7412c.
Corn was very dull. Clearances were large
again, l,1o5,o GOO bu. May opened at 237h
24c, sold to 23% 623Ac, and closed steady at
the opening price. Oats held about steady
with fluctuations confined to a narrow range
May opened a shade lower at 1880, sold to
| 16AGI67sc, recovered to 17c and closed at
16B@17c. There was very little doing in
provisions. At the close May pork was un-
changed at $S.0712@8. 10; May lard, 21ac lower

was once mighty ship, hopelessly
cast away through the ignorance or
wlckedneSs OF its pilots. AS the only
seaport of Importance on this coast
of Spain In the days when this king
dom held vast possessions in America,
Cadiz was rich and prosperous. But
now the main support of the port Is
the General Transatlantic company,
with its steamers for the West Indies,
which has it's docks and works here
and gives employment to a large pro-
portion of its inhabitants.
Barring the slight tokens of suspic-
ion OF which l have spoken, there is
nothing here to mar the pleasure of a
stay. And whatever may be the senti-
ments of the male portion of the pop
ulatlon there is certainly no hostility
manifested among the ladies. Within
the restricted circle of their opportuni-
ties they will welcome the American
visitor with outStretched arms for
the same conditions prevail here aa In
some parts Of South America. where
nearly all the males have been killed
Off and the fair ones are left to Ian
guiSh and to waste their charm on
desert air. The "Gaditanas" are very
pretty and vivacious, gentle and sweet
tempered. l do not claim to be the
first one to make this discovery. for as
far back as the second decade of this
century, to go no farther, their charms
were sung by the poet, no less a per-
sonage than Lord Byron. This is what
he says in his poem called the Girl Of
Cadiz:''
Our English maids are long to WOO
And frigid even in possession,
And if their charms be fair to view
Their lips slow at loves confession.
But born beneath a brighter sun,
For love ordained the Spanish maid is,
And who. when fondly, fairly won,
Enchants you like the girl of Cad.z.
Who indeed? We cannot deny that
the noble lord was an authority on
this subject, but if my memory serves
me he also wrote equally tender lines
anent ladies Of other nationalities.
The last one was always the most en-
chanting with Byron, and that was the
one he had in mind probably when he
wrote the lines quoted above.
If / do not initiate Byron and confess
to being smitten by the charmers, I
will at least confess to being in love
with the city. Seen by day or by night,
shimmering in the white sunlight or
bathed in silvery moonlight, Cadiz is
most fascinating city to look upon.
With its romantic history. it's noble
architecture it's association with great
manassas Columbus, Cortes, De Soto,
Las Casas-it deserves a better fate
than now seems imminent.

man silver has been used for coins
by one Of the small South American
states, and proved fairly well adapted
to the purpose. This led our own gov
eminent to experiment with German
silver. Bronze has been used as the
material of small coins for centuries
in various countries Of Europe. In the
series of experiments which has been
carried out, bronze was utilized, and 1t
is possible that in further experiments
it will be given another test.
1t is safe to say, however, judging
from past experience, that aluminium
bronze in any form will be found ex-
ceedingly difficult to work. The COM
plexion Of the coin formed Of such n
combination Ia not one which lends
itself to the approval OF the ordinary
coin expert. 1t has a yellow, brassy
appearance, which resembles gold, and
this, OF course, is highly Objectionable
and something to be avoided in al,
coins of small denomination.
For "A long time past, careful study
has been made by government experts
OF the coins Of various nations Of Eu-
rope to see if III any way the small
coins of the United States might be
improved. Much criticism of these
coins has been heard.
There are all sorts Of charges made
regarding them. One in particular is
in reference to the copper cent, which
certain medical experts claim is fire.
quently the cause of spreading con-
tagious diseases. The custom Of many
persons Of placing coins in their mouths
is far more widespread than would at
first be believed. Investigation shows
that at least % per cent-that is the
minimum-of the coins of the lower
grade in daily use are frequently held
in the mouths of their owners. This
statement is not conjecture, but the
result of investigation as careful and
painstaking as it is possible for Sucn
investigation to be.
The medical experts hold that the
coins of copper offer an uneXcelled ave-
nue. over which the disease, whatever
it may be, of a contagious sort may
move from one person to another.
The bare contact Of coin of copper
with the hand Of a person suffering
from a contagious disease in the first
stages thereof would hardly be suft1-
cient to infect the coin. If that same
ciOn, however, was placed in the mouth
Of one whom disease had stricken, then,
it is held, the germs of contagion
would find Judgment and thus be car
ried to fresh victims. This is one of
the causes Of the quiet but determined
effort to legislate the copper cent out
of existence as much as possible, and
to substitute for it a combination thar
will be germ proof.
Therefore it is an absolute certainty
that within a comparative short time
the experiments will be continued, AMI
they are not likely to cease until some
thing is found that Uncle Sam can
coin as cheaply and which will last as
long as the copper cent.
