COUNTING COIN.
a, Electrical Machine That Does 1t
with Wonderful Rapidly.

with Wonderful Rupidity.
Almost every one, from the million
.,res of Wall street down to th'
bumblest bootblack, has felt the neces
sity of making money quickly anC
easily. the counting of it being a mat
ter of secondary Importance. How
ever the coin of the realm was pro
5nced. whether in the form of bright
copper pennies or 100000 gold certifi
Gates. it would seem like throwing the
gauntlet down to fate to object to
counting them. Yet there are times
snd conditions when men long for a
machine capable of counting their
money for them; hence the electric
motor coin counting and wrapping ma
chine.
The object of such a device is OBJ
yiously to facilitate the rapid and ac-
curate counting and bundling of coins
of all descriptions, from pennies to dol
lars. since there are many lines Of
business which necessitate the employ
ment Of a large staff of clerks whose
sole duty heretofore has been the per-
formance of this laborious task.
The machine counts and wraps coins
at the rate Of seven every second
or 400 coins every minute and does this
continuously as long as the moter
runs and coins are fed into the hop
per. The coins are wrapped compact
" at the rate of from eight to twelve
bundles per minute, according to the
size Of the coins.
Since an expert is only enabled to
count and wrap fifty coins a minute
manually, it will be seen that the ma
chine will do at least as much work
as eight men. 1t is true that each
machine requires an operator, whose
work consists Of a mere cursory ex-
animation of the coins to see that there
are no plugged pieces, iron washers
and lead slugs mixed with good money.
The speed of the machine is limited
only by the ability of the operator to
detect the spurious coins. When the |
is in operation the coins are
laid upon a table to facilitate exami- /
nation, when they are dropped into a
hopper, whence they slide through a
conduit down into the active mechan-
SIN, where they are pushed into a
'Ow. When the last coin has been
'orced into its place by a reciprocal
ng push bar the coins are automatical-
y transferred from a buncher to the
wrapper while a new row is being
,rought into position.
As the coins reach the wrapper a
oil Of paper is fed by three driving
oils placed around the bundle of coins.
y a rolling motion the paper is wrap
ed around the coins twice. when it is
ut off by a Y shaped knife. The next
nd finishing process is turning in the
edges of the wrapper, which
done by means Of cFlmpers, drawing
le edges in opposite directions and
lally turning out a smoothly rolled
lckage held firmly in place without
lie use of paste. !
As the inventor facetiously remarked, /
ie reason a coin counting and wrap J.,
ng machine had never before been in
,nted was because inventors never

INTO workmen in the world can do

 workingmen and women are ca- pable of. That is why America is now beating the world in manufactures; all due to the brain and muscle of our Eankee men and women.
 Unfortunately where there is smoke, dirt and dust and little sunlight there also can be found the germs of disease. Natures great disinfectant is sunlight Sunlight and fresh air promote the growth of animals and plants but kill germs of disease. Air, free from dust, such as we have on the sea, never per mits the germs of disease to have any chance for growth and development It is in the factory, the workshop, the office, that men and women suffer from diseases which are in the dust and the bad air. Such disease germs enter into the blood in two ways, either through the lungs or stomach. If the blood is pure and rich, the liver and stomach in healthy active condition, the germs of disease cannot find resting place there to multiply. Disease of the lungs, bron- chitis and consumption, are very apt to spread through factory where there is much fine dust in the air The lungs become irritated and the germs find a

 After years of experience in an active practice, Dr. Pierce discovered remedy that suited these conditions in a blood maker and tissue-builder, which at the same time alleviates the cough. He called it Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery-an alternative extract that assists in the digestion and assimilation of food i'll the stornach-so that the blood gets what 1t needs for food and oxidation, the liver is at the same time started into activity and there is perfect elimination of waste matter. When the blood is pure and rich, all the organs work with out effort, and the body is like perfect machine; ii, however, any part is allowed to rust, and this human machine does not get its full supply of rich red blood (which acts like oil on machinery, then new fields are created iu which the bacte- ria or germs of disease thrive and multi ply. The germs of grip, malaria, catarrh or consumption find fertile field if the body is not kept in perfect order and the blood pure. No man or woman can be strong or feel happy who is suffering from indigestion. Because the stomach is diseased there is dinlinution of the red corpuscles of the blood This is why one is sleepless, is languid, nervous and irritable.

Washington. Tuesday: United States Consul Deiderick. at Berman, Germany. in report to State Depart ment on Sugar Beet Acreage in Flu rope" says:
 During the past winter considerable anxiety was felt by people interested in the beet-sugar industry in Europe. The agreement of the Brussels con- venticn had gone into effect in Sep tember, 1903. All the direct bounties had been cut off, but the sugar prices would not adjust themselves to this change. as had been expected. The market prices were below the cost of production in some countries, where sugar had to be sold at an absolute loss. Almost every country in Europe had sugar to sell-some of them even from old surplus stocks. Overproduc- tion and fierce competition existed everywhere; hence the leading sugar manufacturers claimed that nothing short Of a positive reduction Of acre age all over Europe would bring the beet-sugar business back 10 paying basis. In the meetings of the vari- GUS associations the farmers were told that fewer and cheaper beets in the coming season alone could save the sugar industry from ruin. and that they had better devote more attention to the cultivation of flax, grains and other products. But all this hue and cry does not seem to have made a very deep impression, as will be seen from the following table, showing how large an acreage in Europe has again been sown to sugar beets. This in formation has been compiled and pub lished by the International Union for Sugar Statistics, or, in other words, by a combination of all the sugar fac tories of Europe; which are in the best possible position 10 furnish fig ures that are pretty nearly correct The area planted is given in the table. with comparisons with 1905:

 A pin prick and drop of blood on a glass slide will tell whether your blood is III healthy condition or not. Every healthy man should have five million red blood corpuscles to every cubic millime- ter of blood. If there are too many white blood corpuscles the person is said to be anenic and run down. A chemical test of the water from the human body will tell whether the kidneys are in good health or not These tests of health are conducted by expert physicians and chemists every day. Such examinations very small part of the work of the staff of physicians and surgeons under the of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., the founder and director of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of that city. To build up the body that has been weakened by an attack of grip, pneumonia or typhoid, write Dr. R. V. Pierce for advice, giving all your symp- toms, and he will give you the best med ical advice, and without cost. For those who are weakened by the after effects of a bad cold, cough, or grip, nothing will eradicate poison from the blood SO quickly as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. A most stimulating tonic be- cause 1t goes to work in the right way, the stomach to assimilate the food thus furnishing the blood proper which in turn feeds the nerves. The blood should contain red blood corpuscles, which are capable of warding of the attack of germs if they get into our systems.

 The U. s. Department of Agriculture will soon issue Bulletin No. l45, of the Ofice of Experiment stations. de scribing the methods of preparing land for irrigation and applying water 10 crops in different sections of he arid region of the United States. In this bulletin the method of getting rid of sagebrush. smoothing the ground building laterals, and distributing water over fields as developed by the experience of farmers in irrigated districts are brought together and de scribed. The tools and instruments used are illustrated and the cost oi the work, based upon actual examples in different states. is given. The pur- pose is to afford beginners reliable guide both as to the cost of bringing wild land under cultivation and meth os best suited to different soils, cii- mates, and crops. The facts inclId- ed in this bulletin have been gathered by irrigation investigations of this of fee, acting in cooperation with the state experiment stations and state engineers offices.
 The bulletin brings out the fact, not well undeIstood, that the cost of preparing land for irrigation is in many instances greater than the cos; of building canals and reservoirs. De tailed figures of the cost of checking land show that it varies in certain districts in California from s996 to $1S.OS per acre. This is more than twice the cost Of canal systems ln the San Joaquin Valley, California. which is given in the report of the Census Bureau for 1902 as s4.99 per irrigated acre. Where the prepar- ing of land is contracted for the cost of checking varies from s7.50 to s20 per acre The price of preparing land for flooding is much less. but is s5 per acre in Wyoming. The need of a better understanding of this par ticular branch of irrigation practice is becoming more and more important Reservoirs and canals are but means to accomplish purpose. That is 10 increase the products of the soil. The value of the ditch or reservoir depends upon the acreage of land which the use of water will bring about. The time is coming when the most important problems connected with irrigation will be the best means of applying water and not, as at pres ent, those of canal and reservoir building.
 Abouth thirty different methods of applying water are now in use. This does nor mean that there are thirty distinct systems, but includes the diff ferent ways of preparing land for checking, compartments, deep and shallow furrows, flooding, sprinkling. and sub-irrigation. This bulletin gives some of the results of a series of evaporation in deep and shallow fur rows 12 inches deep. About one one-half times as much water was needed to irrigate an acre of land by flooding as was required in fur rowsrows 12 inches deep. About one and one-third times as much water was needed to irrigate in furrows 3 inches deep as in furrows 1 foot deep. A saving of one-third the water by the adoption of better system would mean not only increased profits to farmers but a large increase in the acreage which could be irrigated from canals or reservoirs.
