A CURIOUS POCKET PIECE.

low Railroad Engineers Transform Nick
oIs Into buttons or Sphcres.
A Union Pacific engineer has a fash
ion Of making unique pocket pieces for
his friends. He runs passenger engine
west, and when oiling previous to a run
ho drops a nickel cent piece into the
brass oil cup opthe crosshead Of the pis-
ton rod. His run is 500 miles. When he
reaches his destination, he unscrews tho
top of the oil cup aad takes the nickel
out. 1t has been motamorphosed into u
curious little button with an evenly
turAod rim, within which on the one
side is the countersunk head Of Liberty
divcsted of her stars, ard on the other
side the V and the wreath. The edge of
the crown is as perfect as if it had been
pounded on an anvil by an expert silver
smith.
The perfection OF this is due to the
even vibration the coin has been sub
jected to. The motion Of the piston is
horizontal, and it travels 48 inches,
back and forth, with every revolution
of the wheels. Tho interior Of the oil
cup is round, and the edges of the nickel
as it travels back and forth in the oil,
striking the sides of the cup, are turned
over and pounded into Perfect round
ness. % Sometimes "A nickel is left in the
cup during the round trip, or 600 miles.
When taken ont, it is n nickel bullet, Il
perfect polished sphere. Who discovered
this unique method Of turning the edges
Of nickel is not known, but many en-
gineers know Of it.-Tacoma Ledger.

THE WORLDS POPULATION.
It Could All Find Standing Room on One
of EBgland's shires.


England today contains 30, 900, 900
people, but it has trebled its population
in. the course of century, inasmuoh as
the population was 10000, 600 ON the
accession of the Hanovorian dynasty.
AT the time of the great revolution in
1888 England contained 8, 800, 600,
while London, now $500, 600, contain
ed only 500, 600 inhabitants.
1t further appears that the entire
population of tho country was under
1000, 600 VIXEN the "Domesday Book''
was compiled shortly after the Norman
conquest. Other nations are more or
less nmenable to the same principle Of
increase, and modern ideas of the vast
populations Of antiquity are far from
being correct. In spite of the grossly
exaggerated statistics of Josephus, the
site Of Jerusalem and the course of its
ancient walls, which can easily be
traced, provo that the Holy City could
never have accommodated moro than
100, 600 people, while tho outer walls Of
Rome, still standing, indicate that the
ancient population Of the Eternal City
could not, even in its palnly days, hive
exceeded 1000 600 people
Westward the star of civilization
takes it course" is truth confirmed by
the history If tho ancient world and set
forth in the rise and fall Of the succes-
sive empires of China, India, Assyria,
Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
The westward trend Of the Aryan fa-
miles Of Colts Teutous and Slavs in
prehistoric times points to an eastern
origin Of the primitive nations that gath
cred strength as they marched toward
the lands Of the setting sun, and it now
appears highly probable that the bulk
Of the worlds population had congre-
gated around the blue waters of tho
Mediterranean when Greece and Rome
were in tho meridian Of their power.
The numerical strength Of these nations
was not great, and modern ideas of the
vast population Of the ancient world aro
more fanciful than real.
From the foregoing consideraticE9 il
would appear that tho regular hclno
troops Of the British army, numbering
about 100, 600 men, could find standing
room on four acres Of ground, space
equal to that of Trafalgar square, Lon
don, whilo tho entire force Of volun-
tecrs i'll this country, numbering about
$50, 600, could bo accommodated III
Lord cricket ground.
The 8, 600, coo people in London could
easily stand in Regents Park, while the
10000, 600 of the United Kingdom
could be packed together in spao,
within range Of cannon that can Tire
the distance of mile.
Tho present population Of the wcrlt
could stand i'll Middlescx, whilo al
who havo ever lived since tho Chris
tian era could stand in Yorkshire, ant
all tho Inhabitants of the world, rccl
oning from the time Of Adam to tn,

cerued, have found ample standing room

baugh is young man who came here from

spinal trouble. He became patient at the
Surgical Institute and was receiving treat
ment at the time the receivership was Gre
ated. He was to have six months treat
ment, for which his father paid the institute
$50 and gave notes for 500. The petition
filed by the young mans attorney asked
that the notes be returned to him, as the
holders would not now be able to carry out
their contract with him. Dr. Allen objected
to giving up the notes. claiming that young
Firebaugh Is practically cured. The physi-
clan explained that all the patient would
have to do would be to go home and wear
the trusses that had been placed on him for
short time Firebaugh had received about
two months treatment, and the court de-
cided that DR.. Allen might keep. the money
already paid him by Firebaugh, but the
notes must be given up.
