ODDITIES IN GOLD COINAGE.


o. NJ. white, of Emporia, Kan, has
gathered an array of gold coins which,
in interest and value, is probably not
to be equaled by any other private col
lection in the country. Among them,
saws a local exchange, is 25-cent piece,
octagon in shape, marked "A dollar.
Beside it is a round piece of the same
value. Other coins are gold octagons
and circles stamped with the follow
ing values: One dollar, $3.50 and So.
There is also a gold coin marked 400
cents" with large star in the center,
in which is stamped the purity of the
gold and the amount of alloy used.
Of the 81 pieces only 100 were issued;
and these. on account of their close
resemblance to the S. coin, were soon
called in by the government. To this
call 80 pieces responded; of the II
which objected to recoinage Mr.. Will
hite owns 6, for which he has refused
$1,000. A S. piece of this collection
presents a surface entirely blank save
for the date of its issue, 1907. Another
interesting coin is a $40 pixies Peak"
piece, issued in 1861 from the private
mint of Clark, Gruber & Co., of Den
yer. A still more notable coin, oc-
tagonal in shape, is marked $780,"
The date of its issue from San Fran
cisco mint, 1851, and the name of the
assayer, are stamped on its edge. This
coin was carried for years as a pocket
piece by c. S. Cross. an Emporia bank
er. famous as the owner of the Sunny
Slope ranch, one of the largest thor
oughbred stock farms in the world.
Other coins, forgotten by the old and
unheard of by the young, might be
added to those mentioned, but enough
have been mentioned to show that,
during the century, the United States
has made some surprising experiments
in the coinage of its gold.

MOMENTUM OF RAILWAY CARS
As 1t Was SinguIarly Ill -afed IN
the Wreck of u Passenger Train
at Toledo, Ohio.

The momentum of train of heavy
passenger coaches and Pullmans is
well known to railroad men, but its
potential power is not realized by lay
men not initiated into the mysteries
of car construction, says the Chicago
Chronicle. A passenger coach is sew
eral times as heavy as freight car,
and but little lighter than locomo-
tive.
The dynamic force developed in the
impact when train of coaches and
sleepers going at the rate OF SO miles
per hour. strikes an obstacle was man
Tested in a peculiar manner some time
ago in Toledo, where wreck occurred
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
railroad. Half dozen ears loaded
with wheat were standing on side
track, when a fast train came plunging
along. The switchman was at the
switch trying to close it, and until
the train was few rods away hoped
to succeed in time to avert crash.
But he failed and the thousands of
pounds of steel and iron dashed past
him before he was able to give warn
ing signal.
Less than so yards from the switch
stood the cars of wheat. Before the
engineer had time to reverse the lever,
there was a crash, and grinding and
crunching of timbers. Neither the en-
gineer nor fireman attempted to Jump.
They staid at their posts, and TO TINS
they owe their lives.
The high. rate of speed at which the
train was running and the heavy
weight behind the engine drove it along
The front trucks became dislodged,
and wedging these under the end of the
first freight car, an inclined plane was
formed by the engine, up which the
huge mechanism ran on through the
end of the box car. 1t began to burrow
it's way through the wheat. By the
time the engine had reached the FUR
Their end of the car. the wheat cars were
under way. and they started down the
track. The impact had transferred
all the momentum to the freight cars
and the passenger coaches remained
on the track not much the worse for
the collision.
When the wrecking crew appeared
on the scene, a sight such as none had
ever seen before met the eyes of the
startled men. Half mile from the
train of passenger cars was the engine,
hidden in a box car. The side of the
car was there, and the engine. with
the exception of the cowcatcher, the
forward trucks and the smokestack,
stood quietly in the car, almost hid
den from sight. The top OF the cab
was broken down. imprisoning the en-
gineer and stoker, but neither of them
was harmed.
The total damage amounted to about
$500, the small amount being due to
the fact that none of the cars left the
track The enormous expenditure OF
energy had been accomplished by fore
ing the engine into the car and starting
the cars down the track. Railroad men,
who came to look at the wreck, said
unanimously they had never seen nor
heard of similar freak of engine and
cars. The wreck occurred after dark
and before morning the wreckage was
cleared away. making it impossible
for photographs to be taken.
