Cheap at Her weight in Gold.

"The weight Of money is very de.
ceptive;" says an employe Of the
New York sub-treasury. "For in.
stance, a young man came in here one
day with young woman. | was
showing them through the depart
ment and happened to ask him IL he
thought the girl was worth her weight
in gold. He assured me. that he GER
tainly did think so, and after learning
that her weight was LOG pounds we
figured that she would be worth In
gold coin s2S,647. The young man was
fond enough of her to think that was
rather cheap"
"Another thing that deceives many
people," he continued, sis the weight
Of paper money. Now, how many one
dollar bills do you think it would take
to weigh as much as five-dollar gold
piece?"
On guess the writer said fifty, and
the clerk laughed.
II have heard guesses on that all
the way from so to 500, and from men
who have handled money for years.
The fact of the matter is, that with a
five-dollar gold piece on one scale you
would have to put only six and one
half bills on the other to balance it,
The question afterward was put to
several friends Of the writer and ellie.
tied answers all the way from 20 to
1000, the majority guessing from 200
to 500.
Taking the weights Of gold coins
and bills given at the sub-treasury II
was figured that a five-dollar gold piece
weighs 1896 of an ounce, ayoirdupoise.
The employe at the treasury who ham
died the paper money said that 200
bills weigh four and one-half ounces.
That would make one bill weigh .045
Of an ounce, and between six and sew
en- bills would balance the gold piece.
On the proposition Of how much
money one can lift, figures we're OBJ
tained at the sub-treasury, where Ger.
tain numbers of coins were placed In
bags and weighed as standards. Fol
example, the standard amount of gold
coin is 5000, which weighs lSl
pounds.
Five hundred silver dollars weigh
35t pounds, while 5000 in halves, OF
400 coins, weigh IL pounds.
Two hundred pounds Of coin money
of various kinds is made up as follows
silver dollars, s2,6l7; half dollars
s3,636; quarter dollars, s3,657; dimes
s3,6l5.sO; nickels, s917; pennies, s295.
