Saving the Gold Particles.
How do you take care of the gold ac-
emulation in the cylinder, and what in the
world becomes of all that air pressure YOU
are sending through the pipe?" asked the
reporter.
The gold particles pass into the big cyl
lnder depending from the ceiling and fall
INTO a bottle-shaped receptacle fastened at
the bottom automatically. The pressure of
the air is relieved by pipe passing out of
the Top OF the cylinder and into tin re-
ceptacle containing water. This eXplana-
uon may be as clear mud, but the phiIo-
sophie principle involved to take care of
th1s pressure and prevent its filling the air

TN, gold and water has been very carefully
inquired out by the inventor and his collab
fatorS. 1t is the mathematical arrange
ment of the inside mechanism and it is the
f1rSt machine constructed for its object
When the stamping department gets its
fuil equipment 1t will have taken an i'm
portant position with the splendid me-
chanical outfit constituting the big print
cry.
