1904 DOLLARS.

1t Is Now Claimed That No Such Coins
Were Struck.
Is there an American dollar of the
date of 1904? If there, is, it is worth
a fortune, in the opinion of the Chicago
~Inter-Ocean, for it is one Of the jack
O. lanterns of nuQlismatics. In a re-
| cent issue the American Journal of
| Numismatics goes into an interesting
account of what it terms the myth of
1904 dollars" and denies that any
existence. Like comets, these alleged
coins have been turning up in most
unexpected places for nearly a cen
fury. Recently coin dealers were ex-
cited by a story from Racine, Wis,
which told how a woman went into a
dry goods store to buy a spool of
thread and rendered in payment a
worn silver dollar, saying that she
did not know whether it was good or
not. The clerk saw the date 1904 on
the coin, put it into his pocket, and
threw a new silver dollar into the cash
drawer. He was offered 1900 for the
old coin by a dealer, but refused to
sell. In this way the story got out,
and the clerks employer put in a claim
to the 1904 dollar. Both men have m
ployed men to defend their titles, and
now the oma shopper IS preparing
to bring suit for the possession of it.
For years Mr.. Nexsen, an expert of
Brooklyn, N. Y, has made a study of
the subject. He has convinced him
self and other competent judges that
no genuine 1904 dollar was ever coined.
He has become convinced that the al
legged dollars of that date are altera-
lions of Spanish, Mexican, Bank of
England 5-shilling pieces OF some such
fraud. It is believed that an expert
mental die with milled edges was
made but not used in 1904. In 1912
some one, perhaps. surreptitiously,
struck a few dollars on this old, un-
used die, and it is these that are oc-
.casionally found.

BAKED AND FROZEN RAIs,Ns.
Process by Which They Are Seasoned
Against Climatic Changes.

Against Climati Changes.
Unlike the eastern imitation, the Cal
ifornia seeded raisin is subjected to a
dry temperature of 140 degrees Fab
renheit from three to five hours, i'm
mediately after which the fruit is sub
mitted to a chilling process, and while
in this reduced condition Of tempera-
ture is passed through cleaning or
brushing" machines, which remove
every particle of dust and the cap
stems, thus making it a pure and
wholesome article, says the Philadel-
phia Times. 1t is then taken automat-
ically, by elevators, to a oom where,
spread upon wire trays, it is exposed to
a temperature of 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, which brings the fruit back to it's
normal condition, and in this pro
cessing" the berry is converted into
pectin, that delicious jelly which gives
the fruits their best flavor. The rails
ms having been prepared through this
alternate heating and chilling to keep
indefinitely and to resist climatic in
%f1uences, are passed through seeding
machines, each of which has a capacity
Of from ten to twelve tons daily. The
raisins are pressed between rubber or
similar surface rollers, which at first
f1atten the berry and press the seeds
to the surface, when an impaling roller
catches the seeds between its needles
or teeth affixed to its periphery, deftly
removing them from the fruit, while
the latter passes on, minus its seeds,
but possessing every particle of its
flesh. The seeds are removed from
the roller by a "licking," or whisping
device, and are sent along to the seed
receptacle, finally ending their journey
in the engine room, where they are
burned as fuel. Four hundred and
fifty car loads of ten tons each, or
5000, 900 pounds of seeded raisins, were
shipped from the Fresno district last
year, and a very much larger tonnage
will be turned out this year. Some
estimate can be formed of the posi-
bilities of the Fresno seeded raisin
plants when it is stated that their ag-
gregate capacity for this season will
approximate from LOO to 1000 car
loads, while it is probable that 1,4OO
cars will be the output. Each seeding
plant has from five to twelve machines
of ten tons daily capacity per machine.
Some of the packing houses cover a
ground space $50 to 225 feet and are
three stories high.

Christening Florida.

AS to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida to the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
an old book published in 1868: "Gave
it the name of Florida because it was
first seen in Easter, called Pasqua de
flores in the language Of his country,
or, as Herrera alleges, because it was
covered with flowers and the most
beautiful blossoms" And the Farmer
adds: "Those who have seen the Ess-
ter season in Florida and the wealth of
flowers which still commemorate and
adorn its return can we'll believe that
both these reasons Influenced the CIV
ing of it's name"

They took up a great tract Of land,
