COUNTING COINS QUICKLY.
The Ingenious Invention of n Treas
ary Expert Facilitates the
Handling Thereof.

An old treasury employe has in
vented an ingenius coin counting
machine. 1t consists of round
metal hopper into which coins are
poured. From this the coins are fed
into an attachment, or head, as 1t Is
called, which is kept constantly re-
volving by a crank operated by hand.
Each revolution carries six or more
coins through a registering device
which keeps track Of the exact num-
ber. There Is n different-sized 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. II Is
estimated that with one of these
machines a strong boy can accurately
perform the work OF five or SIX
clerks, says n Washington report. A
device has also been planned which
viii count the coins in 100 or 200
lots and by the use of paper carton
they may be dome up in packages
ready for handling or shipment. by
running them consecutively through
the various heads lot of coins may
be separated and counted az the same
time. The machine Is expected ia
revolutionize eoia counting rsethods

ing from several months to two
years. In this country the tremen-
dous development of the industries
that reqire building lumber has
pressed the lumber manufacturer
so hard that he is forced to send
out poor product, which the con-
sumer is willing to take in that
condition rather than wait for
thoroughly seasoned material. Prop
eriy seasoned material commands a
high price and sometime cannot be
obtained at all.
One of the interesting facts is
that, as rule, high-grade timbers
like white oak and longleaf pine.
being very much denser than tim
bers of low grade, are not so readi-
ly penetrated as the latter by the
preservative fluid; and that IL is,
therefore, much more economical
to treat low grade, porous wood
like beech, which ordinarily lasts
only four or five years, than high
grade timber. Beech so treated
has outlasted oak several times.

tains detailed accounts of different
methods of seasoning, both open
air seas oning and by kiln drying;
the results of seasoning tests in

will be of special interest to rail
road men who have followed the
experiments with close attention.
