BANKING IN SWITZERLAND.
1t Ordinarily Takes But Fifteen Min
utes to Make a Deposit If You
Are Lucky.

Some Swiss methods are sufficiently
cntiquatcd, according to our standards.
For instance, it requires Is minutes in
which TO make deposit at bank, says
the Chicago Record.
Every banking house has numerous
chairs outside the railing, and the visit
or is expected TO sit quietly and cult
vate a spirit of patience while the ma
chinery is getting under way.
4 customer who wishes to make a de-
post goes to a window and hands in his
money, together with memorandum
of the amount. The employe behind the
railing counts the money and prepares
a receipt for it, adding his signature by
way of preliminary.
Then a small boy takes this receipt
upstairs and submits it to an official.
who studies it and then ponders for c
while as to whether it will be safe to
take the money. If he decides that the
bank can undertake the risk he passes
the receipt to another man, who pre-
pares duplicate slip and makes several
entries, and finally signs his name.
Then, as soon as another man has ex-
amined the receipt and added his name,
it is taken downstairs and handed to
the depositor. There is one satisfaction
the money is thoroughly deposited.
An American residing in Zurich went
to the bank the other day with check
which had been given to him by bust
ness man in a large town near by. He
handed in the check, and 20 minutes
later received his money, less IA cents
charges. The American was we'll known
at the bank, having been depositor for
about two years. He had Endorsed the
check.
\ busy and nervous Chicago man
would have torn down the railing be-
fore the 20 minutes expired.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. The
will OF the late John W. Kelley. the
inventor, was admitted to probate to-
day. 1t bequeaths the entire estate
valued at about $4,000, to the widow
and also appoints her executrix. No
reference is made in the will to his
mysterious motor which was a dis
appointment to the stockholders of
the heeley Motor company. They
must now await the pleasure of Mrs
heeley for an explanation of the mo-
tor, 1T being understood that he left
IN her charge an extensive transcript
containing vital information on the
mystery which it is hoped will be OF
value to the motor company.

GROWING GOLD.
The Mystery Has Been Satisfactorily
Explained by Chemists
Experiments.

1t is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found in the river
grayeIs of Klondike and other aurifer-
Gus regions have been brought down
by the rivers direct from the reefs in
which the gold originally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however, have long been Of opin-
ion that this cannot be the case. says
the London h.ail, for no masses of gold
of so large a size are ever found In the
reefs themselves. They believe. on the
other hand. that the nuggets have
grown where they are now found, just
as a crystal of salt will grow in strong
brine; but with so insoluble sub
stance as gold it was difficult to I'M
6erstand how such growth could take
place Experiments carried out in Aus
tralia have shown that decaying yege-
table matter will cause the deposition
of gold from solutions of gold salts.
but these salts are not known to occur
in reefs.
The mystery is now solved. \ Sla-
vonic chemist named Zzigmody has
Just shown that gold itself can exist
in soluble form. By acting on a
slightly alkaline solution OF gold salt
with formaldehyde and submitting the
product to dialysis he has succeeded in
obtaining gold in a colloidal condition,
in which state it is soluble in water and
may be precipitated by the addition OF
common salt. 1t is probable that some
of the gold in quartz reefs exists IN this
condition. 1t is washed out by the
rain, carried away in solution by the
rivers, and deposited in the river
gravels wherever there is anything con-
tanning salt TO cause its precipitation.
Ia the course of ages a large nugget
NAV in this way be formed.

FRENCH FEMININE FENCERS.
There Is n Possibility That the Wom-
an Duels of the Regency May
lie Revived.

American women have never taken
up fencing with the enthusiasm shown
10y English and French women, and
feminine duellists in our country will
doubtless continue TO choose tongues
as weapons; but there have been wild
rumors that feminine skill with the
foils, in France, would lead to a revival
of the times of the regency, when bona
fide duels between women We're no I'M
common occurrence.
Only few weeks ago two fair
Parisidns, says the New York Sun, not
nysrse 10 notoriety, arranged meet
ing. but frien ds persuaded them to set
tie the quarrel and call the duel off,
much TO the regret of scandal lovers.
Many French womenare expert fencers,
and in London the fad has been encour-
aged by the swellest set. \ really swag-
ser feminine duel would be a new SEN
sation in society. 1t would be roman
TIC and becoming. for nothing shows
OIL the figure to such advantage as fenc-
ing. Then the possibilities in dueling
costumes are most enticing. BY all
means, let us fight duels.
The results need be no more serious
than in modern 'honora BILE encounters"
between French deputies; and the af-
fairs would be chic and picturesque IN
the extreme. But in the feminine duel
the audience must not be limited 10 sec
onds and physicians. One should make
q social function of il, and relieve the
tedium of afternoon teas and 'recep-
tons. There would be but one obiec-
ton to the new fad. Its advertising
possibilities are so superb that the
dramatic profession would rush into
II with mad fervor, and the fad. instead
q the combatants, would be run into
the ground.

mere Are No Fewer Than Five
Hundred Strokes in a First
Class shave.

Now that you've finished shaving
me, how many strokes of the razor did
il require?" asked the man in the chair,
as he Strengthened up to have his hair
combed, says the Philadelphia Times.
That's pretty hard to tell said the
barber.
"Of course it is. But you've been in
rle business how long,"
Fifteen years"
You ought to know by this time
about how many strokes of the razor
il requires to shave man, supposing
that you go over his face a second
time
Il might make guess at it"
"All right. What's your guess? Re-
member that l have hard beard"
We'll, l should say about 1875
You're a good guesser, don't think
Some time ago | got into the habit of
counting the strokes of razor every
time l was being shaved. It's a good
way to employ your mind. In shaving
me you just made 1872 strokes with the
razor"
Il wouldn't have believed it
No man believes it until he takes the
trouble TO count. In my case never
knew the number to fall below 500. and
II has gone more than 500 at times I
call II stroke every time the lazor is
brought forward and then drawn back.
l should judge that there are no fewer
than 500 strokes in first-class shave.
You remember that. and probably you
can win a few bets"
