Plan for Money to Go Into the Slot and
Return Interest.
Slot machintes have recently been
adapted to the purposes of public saw
ings banks in England. The depos-
itor drops penny In the slot and then
pulls knob, which refuses to work
only when the machine is full. For
each penny inserted a receipt is re-
ceived on card The coins fall fiat
into tube with number opposite
each deposit corresponding to the num-
Der upon the receipt, SO that confusion
or fraud is impossible.
Spurious coins are taken into the
machine, so far as obtaining a receipt
is concerned. But if fraud is perpe-
trated it will instantly be detected
when the machines are opened. Sup
posing receipt No 500 is received in
exchange for a bad penny, the same
number will be opposite the bad coin
in the tube and when the receipt is
presented the perpetrator will be
nabbed.
Should person by mistake put in
a coin of larger value the truth of his
story can be verified in a moment and
the change given back to him.
A rate of interest of 1-2 or per
cent is promised on all investments

About 1000 of these neat mechanical

THE DOWAGER RULES.
IS. F. Chronicle.)


The Empress Dowager of China has
shown unexpected good sense in deal
ing with Ii Hung Chang and his con-
vivial friend, the Viceroy of Sllantung.
Ii went to Shantuns to inspect the
Yellow river, and he seems to have
spent his time and connived at the
spending OF several kegs of Govern
ment money in having a prolonged
spree with the Viceroy As this was
the traditional thing in Chinese Off
cialdom. any criticism of the fact from
the throne was not looked for: but the
Empress Dowager gave the offending
officials vigorous wigging and based
it on the ground that extravaganza
of any kind was out Of place in a dis
trict where thousands of people were
furnishing. Care for either economy
or humanity has not distinguished Chi
nese rulers in the past and doubtless
Ii Hung Chang and his bibulous friend
got the surprise of their lives when
the old Empress took up the cause of
the poor.
