THE DOUGHNUT COIN.
No Such Piece Of Money Has Been
Ordered to Be Issued.
widely Circulated story of n Three
Cent Coin with n Hole In IL IL
Entirely without Found
alton.

A curious story has been appear
ing in many newspapers that a
strange new three-cent coin with a
hole in the middle is about to be is
sued by the government.
This has been called the "doughnut
coin" The Washington correspondent
of the New York World recently
asked Director of the Mint Roberts
about it.
Mr.. Roberts says there is absolute
~ no truth in the report; that no
new coin can Dc made at the mint un-
less ordered by a special act of con.
prcss, and no such act has been
passed.
But so widely has the story about
the "doughnut coin" been printed
that doubtless many people are
daily expecting to get them in change
and give them to their babies to
string like beads.
According to the interesting but
misleading stories that have been
printed, the coin would be composed
of nickel.
The theory of this idea was that
the hurried handler will be enabled
to at once detect the value of the coin
by his sense of feeling. Some such
safeguard was said to be necessary
for the reason that it Is very nearly
the size and weight of the present
iyc-cent nickel. The size Of the hole
in the proposed new coin was to be
of ample magnitude to make it sim
ply u ring Of metal and TO occupy
about one-half Of tn, entire diameter.
The new coin, it was said, was to
TO away with one of the great diff.
c~ultles which beset the handlers of
! small silver coins when metal money
first came into use after the circula-
ton of paper collateral. The coins
which reached the hands of children
and some classes in the more remote
regions treated them as curiosities
and as prizes. To insure their safe
keeping it was a %fayorite method to
punch n hole in them. and, passing n
string through the aperture, tie the
whole securely about the neck.
This practice, of curse. destroyed
the circulation value of the coins, and
dealers who subsequently too them
in were obliged To stand the loss. So
general became the practice that a
fixed scale n finally arranged for
deduction for punched dimes, nickels
and other pieces. The new piece
could he strung without %injuring it..
In the west and southwest the one
cent piece vas slower in coming into
favor than in the east. and the DIN
age of the new piece was supposed
to he to meet IA demand for which
the fiye-ccnt piece is too large and
the one-cent piece too small.
The fivc-ccnt nickel piece has been
in use for over 30 years, having beer
first coined during the latter part OF
the civil war or just after that. BE
fore that time for many years the
only small change in circulation was
made of paper scent, l0-cent, l5-cen'
and 25-cent notes, being ISSUED by tn,
government. The subsidiary note:
also included a 5O-cent piece, and al
of these were popularity known a
"shin p~lasters." The necessity fol
them arose from the disappearance
of metal money during the wa

RAISING AN ALLEY ON JACKS.
Clever Mechanical Feat Recently
Performed at the Masonic
Temple In Chicago.

A short time ago, owing to natural
causes, the alley east OF the Masonic
Temple building, nearly 200 feet in
length, sank IL inches. The sinking
was gradual, but when 1t ended the
alley was resting upon the upper
parts of the boiler and furnace me-
chanisms of the building which occu-
py the space underneath the alleys
area. Fortunately for the hundreds
of transfers and truckmen Wac use
the alley daily the sinking had been
even, without "a crack Or caving in.
The earth formation carried the as
phalt paving down with it as regu-
larly AS IL the sinking had been reRu-
lated by man instead of nature, says
the Chicago Record-Herald.
The problem presented to Capt.
Williams, superintendent of the Ma
sonic Temple, was of either re-
moving the old alley and construct
ing a new and artificial one or of at
to its old level without cracking OF
iniuring il. He decided on the latter
course. A series of jacks were
worked under the sunken passage
way. They upheld n framework OF
wood, which extended to all parts Of
the alley. Workmen then began tC
slowly screw up the jacks. Thi,
screwing mp process began at tive
o'clock on u Sunday morning ant
was finished at one o'clock that aft
ernoon. During that time wagons
loaded with coal and other team
drove through the alley, not noticin,
that anything extraordinary was 70
ing on.
The entire mass of asphalt an,
earth was finally brought back to it
true level without cracking or di,
placement Of any kind, and the
given such a new foundation that
can never sink again. The eNpens
y was over 1000. IL has been possibl
. for some time to raise a brick hous
i and move it away without injury I
it's parts. Stone buildings and store
have also been raised and moved, b,
Capt. Williams believes that this
. the first time an alley has ever bee
raised by jacks without interruptio
