His majesty and all prominent politicians

posed to the present administration and in
deciding the free-food liberal unionists to at
least abstain from active support of the

Those who are best informed on political
matters, including even many persons in

pect that the liberals will not only win easi-

THE WEIGHT OF MONEY.
Deceptive Appearance of Metal as Well
as Paper.

''The weight of money is very deceptive" :"
said an employee of the treasury For in
stance, young man came in here one day
with young woman. l was showing them
through the department, and happened to
ask him if he thought the young girl was
worth her weight in gold. He assured me
that he certainly did think so, and after
learning that her weight was 106 pounds
we figured that she would be worth in gold
$2S641. The young man was fond. enough
of her to think that was rather cheap.
Another thing that deceives many peo-
ple," he continued, lis the weight Of paper
money. Now, how many one-dollar bills
do you think 1t would take to weigh as
much as one five-dollar goldpiece?'
On guess the visitor said fifty, and the
clerk laughed
Il have heard guesses on that" he said,
all the way from fifty to 500, and from
men who have handled money for years
The fact of the matter is that with a five-
dollar goldpiece on one scale you would
only have to put six and one-half dollar
bills on the other scale to balance it.
1.-THE question afterward was put to sew
eral people, and ELECTED answers all the
guessing from 800 to 600 -
Taking the weight of gold CONS and
bills given at the treasury, it was, figured
that a fve-dollar goldpiece weighs. .296 of
an ounce avoirdupois. The employe at the
treasury who handled the paper mofiey said
that 100 bills weigh four and ne-half
ounces. That would make one bill weigh
40 of an ounce, and between six and seven
bills would balance the goldpiece."
On the proposition of how much money
one can lift figures were obtained at the
treasury. Where certain numbers of coins
were placed in bags and weighed as stan
dards, for example, the standard amount Of
gold coin Is 5000, which weighs ISIa
pounds. Five hundred silver dollars weigh
35@ pounds, while $500 in halves, or 400
coins, weigh eleven pounds.
Two hunderd pounds of coin money of
various kinds is made up as follows: Silver
dollars. $2,617; half dollars, S, 1886: quarter
dollars, 1861; dimes, $3,615.S0; nickels, $9l7;
pennies. $295.61.
In one-dollar bills the same weight would
amount to 81, Ill.
