COUNTING COINS QUICKLY.
The Ingenious Invention Of n Treas
ury Expert Facilitates the
Handling Thereof.

An old treasury employe has in
vented an ingenius coin counting
machine. 10 consists OF a round
metal hopper into which coins art
poured. From this the coins are fed
into an attachment, or head, as it is
called, which is kept constantly re.
volying by crank operated by hand
Each revolution carries six or more
coins through a registering device
which keeps track Of the exact num-
Der. There Is a differentiated head
for each coin and the change from
nickels to pennies or from dimes to
quarters or coins of larger denomina-
ton can be made instantly. IL is
estimated that with one OF these
machines a strong boy can accurately
perform the work of five or six
clerks, says a Washington report. A
device has also been planned which
viii count the coins I'm 100 or 200
lots and by the use Of paper carton
they may be done up in packages
ready for handling or shipment. by
them consecutively through
the various heads a lot Of coins may
he separated and counted at the same
time. The machine IS expected to
reYolutionize coin counting methods.

They live in a most patriarchal man

and the women manage the croft. As
plows are unknown, they dell" the
ground with spades before sowing
their little crops Of oats and barley.
The hay and grain are cut sometimes
with a scythe quite often with
small sickle-methods that involve
hard labor even on a croft Of from
two to four acres. The drying hay
is protected from the wind by con

GERMANS AT THE CIRCUS.
Reduce Receipts by Their Bulk OF
Body In Taking Up the
seats

One OF the bets stories of the Bar
mum European trip grew out Of the
German experience. Opinion differs
as to whether the joke is at the ex-
pense OF the Germans or of the cir
Gus Itself. On crossing the German
frontier, the management discovered
startling shortage in the daily re-
ceipts. The circus as usual was play
ing Ito capacity" the 10000 odd
seats were filed twice daily, and
hundreds were being turned away.
yet the shortage was something like
$1,000 a day, says the Woman's Home
Companion. Expert accountants
went over the books in vain. detec-
tiyes were brought from Paris. but
could discover nothing. Finally. after
much investigation, II was found
that every German occupied about a
seat and a fourth, or that three
able-bodied men or women COM
pletely filed four regular seats The
receipts were by the same percentage
less than they should have been.
Here was a substantial difficulty
which could not be overcome.
