felt Dollars Given by Gov
ernment Detective

A bank cashier of long experience
stated recently that fully one-half of the
silver dollars in everyday circulation
were counterfeit. He declared that as
there was only little more than so
cents worth of silver in a dollar coun-
terfeiters were making them of the ex-
act purity and fineness OF dollars coined
by the government. The bank clerk
said that the makers were clearing about
% cents upon each dollar made. This
story went the rounds of the newspapers
and was believed by most people, says
the Kansas City Star.
Thomas r. McManus, the govern
ment's secret service operator here,
whose business it is to know all about
counterfeit money, said:
i read that statement when II was
printed. 1t was too ridiculous for seri-
Gus attention by experts, but as il was
believed by great many people it might
be worth while to say that of every
100000 silver dollars in circulation not
more than one is counterfeit with ay
percentage of silver in 1t. 1t is true
that man could make dollar with
the same amount of silver in it that
the government puts in and make good
profit on 1t If he could pass it, and many
people wonder why it is not done more
than 1t Is
The reason Is very simple All gov
eminent coins are stamped out of sheets
of cold metal. This gives the coin a
clearness and sharpness of line that
could never be approached in a coin
made of molten metal run in mold.
An expert can tell at a glance a coin
that has been run in a mold, because the
metal does not fill out the lines and cor
ners. So, as first proposition, your
first set up machinery that would stamp
the coins out of cold metal
"A plant of this kind would cost so
many thousands of dollars that no man
with that much money would think Of
investing 1t in so risky business That
is preventive No. /. The second is that
such machinery in operation. if located
In city, would shake the building and
be so noisy that it would soon be dis
covered. 1t would be out of the ques-
ton to operate such plant in the coun-
try, OF course. Inquisitive people would
soon nose 1t out. and the government s
operators would soon pounce upon it.
So, In brief, I've told you why the bank
cashiers story was very silly one.
You can add. to give it further effect.
that ar exrert can detect counterfeit
silver coin the moment he sees and
touches it."

MONT PELEE'S OBELISK.
Changes In the Crater which Belche d
Forth Destruction on the
City of st. Pierre.

Were less reputable person to tell
the story about Mont Pelee which Prof.
Angelo Heilprin gave to Philadelphians
recently, It would be received with skep-
ticism. This well-known geologist had
just returned from two months visit
to Martinique, and he described recent
changes in the volcano which destroyed
the city of st. Pierre, states the New
York Tribune. From the crater at the
summit. he says, has been forced up
ward column $40 feet high and about
300 feet through at the base. A small
portion OF the movement here recorded
was observed by Prof. Heilprin himself
Within four days there was an elevation
of 81 feet. AT that time, however, the
process Of extrusion was apparently go
ing on more slowly than before, and per-
haps was nearly ended. There then
stood in the small basin of the crater a
mass twice as high and four times as
thick as the Washington monument
For what he regards a practically
unique phenomenon in the history Of
volcanoes Prof Heilprin offers partial
explanation. He attributes il to the
same internal stresses which elsewhere
force out molten lava. In this instance,
he thinks, the material had had
chance to cool sufficiently to be solid,
when it emerged. Credible as Is this
supposition. 1t does, not answer all of
the questions which suggest themselves.
Why. for instance, has the direction Of
the movement been so nearly vertical?
Why did not the mass lean over like
the tower of Pisa? How long had the
outward manifestation been going on?
And how long will II continue? To the
last of these problems the Philadelphia
geologist replies that time only can tell.
Between the gradual and possibly
quiet manner in which this development
has occurred and the explosive effects
observed at Pelee last year one cannot
fail to notice contrast II will be re-
membered. too. that no lava at all was
elected in 1902 Only ashes. rocks,
steam and gas were reported then. Still,
even If 1t did not reach the surface at
that time it is not unlikely that there
had been yelling up of lava from low
levels in the earth's crust. To the meet
ing of such substance, intensely heat
ed. with supply of water is commonly
assigned the sudden and awful violence
OF volcanic eruptions. A want OF har-
mony in observed facts might possibly
be accounted for if the scene of greatest
activity were we'll below the surface.

The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-Many
questions are being asked OF Mr. C.. ID. Holt
OF this place in regard to his wonderful re-
covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was so very bad that he could
not even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dltlon he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his friend:
are asking him How did you do it?'
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did 1t, and adds This remedy is a genuine
good medicine and one that l can heartily
recommend to everybody.
Everyone around here knows how very

ing or bending over, and three boxes OF
