WEIGHING GOLD COIN.
Ok Men Used IN ChlcaO0
Banks.

A machine which does the work of
six bank clerks in weighing gold coins
has been introduced in several Chics-
go banks, and its operation caused con-
sternation among the bank employees.
George Sites, of the First national
bank, is one Of the two inventors of
the machine. Under his direction 5000
gold coins at the Commercial national
bank the other day were weighed |, sort
ed and counted, says Chicago special
to the New York Times.
The fact that gold coins are accepted
at weight value and not at face value
is responsible for the invention of the
machine. For some time banks have
been receiving gold by weight, and the
work of the teller has become arduous.
Every grain that has been worn from
a gold piece in circula ton means loss
of four per cent. in value, and this
amount has to be deducted.
Mr.. Sites conceived the idea that the
work of weighing the coin might be
done by machinery. With the assist
ance of his brother-in-law, C. M.
Reeves, he worked out the delicate
mechanism. The coins are fed to the
machine much as wheat to mill The
standard weight coins are returned to
one compartment and the underweight
coins to another. The machine makes
no mistakes.

TEACHES INDIANS TO WORK.

-. niAess. al

Indians are not easily persuaded to
sbandon old customs, and the work of
the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way is
often arduous and the results discour-
aging. An experiment of much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
in Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys to milk
cows for him and agreed to give to
each one who MIXED for three months
nice calf. Fifteen boys started, but
they were so ridiculed by the older men
of the tribe that IL of them gave it up.
Three won the calves, and the pride of
being owners of cattle served as quite
an assistance in getting other Indian
children to try. After year IL boys
had won calves and the agent asked
them to plow corn for him, agreeing
to give them all the corn they could
grow. Ten boys volunteered to grow
corn, and they actually raised 5000
bushels, which was sold and afterward
converted into IS head Of steers.
Each steer was branded with an in
dividual brand chosen by the boy
owner. This made them prouder than
ever and more industrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work at
once, and as a result of that expert
ment the Cheyennes are the most in
dustrious farmers of any tribe 50 re-
:ently ON the warpath.
