COIN SWEATING.
An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.

An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making of coun-
terfeit coins and usually combined
with that nefarious trade Is what is
known as sweating" which requires
considerable skill to accomplish sue
cessfully. A rubber mold is used, into
which a gold coin TO be sweated is in
troduced and held with clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
= the coin is immersed in bath of
cyanide Of potassium and an electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upon the coin in the acid
uniformly sweats the metal-that is to
say, causes so much of it to become
detached. This process is gone through
with large number of coins, and the
gold deposit thus obtained is extracted
from the acid.
1t is for the purpose of detecting the
existence of such reduced coins that
bankers weigh gold coins in balance,
and IL one is in the scale 1t will imme-
diately be shown by the indicator. The
light coin is then taken out, and what
ever the shortage represents that
amount the customer will have to
make up or be fined.
But, all things considered, sweating
Is but poor business, says II. L.
Adam in his interesting book, "The
Story Of Crime" and evidently 1t Is
thought so by the criminal fraternity,
for 1t has dwindled to mere nothing.
A sovereign weighs 123.27447 grains,
and the limit Of error in the weight is
2 Of grain, from which 1t may
readily be gathered that sweating can
not now be very lucrative business
