siding lady of the first American legation in
Great Brltain-alas and alack what empty
honor! The English were smarting under the
humiliation of losing the colonies. The king
and queen were civil to the point of boorish-
ness, the people arrogant and insulting, the
press scurrilous and abusive, the nobility in
absolute ignorance Of the new nation across
the ocean. Mrs. Adams declared that Mr. Pitt
and Lord Carmarthen were the only two men
In England who seemed to have liberal ideas
concerning America. When, after three
years stay in Grosvenor square, Mr.. Adams
was recalled to become vicepresident of the
United States, Mrs. Adams, in commenting on
their coming departure, says, "Some years
hence it may be pleasant to reside here in the
character of American minister; but with the
present servility and the present temper of
the English no one need envy the embassy"
To New York City Mrs Adams next moved
her household goods The vicepresident's
residence was Richmond Hill mansion, once
the headquarters of Gen. WASHINGTON Mrs.
Adams was delighted with the situation of
her new home. The city has stretched for
miles to the north of this spot, now Varick
and charlton streets, but Mrs. Adams wrote
that Richmond Hill was mile and half from
New York. Wandering through the neighbor-
hood Of Varick street, with its Trinity tene-
ments, and over to the shipping activity of
West street and the Hudson river, one finds
it hard to realize that here were once fields
beautifully variegated with grain and grass
to great extent like the valley of Honiton in
Devonshire." These fields were to the right
of the mansion and continuing her descr1p-

stripping coins-that is, removing
small quantities of gold or silver from

Including articles made from Lincoln
pennies.
The inquiry as to coin stripping was

Oh, for the era of motor cars and good

aimed. The coins are passed into cir
culation at their face value. Coins
also have been stripped, it is sus-
pected, by using them for short inter-
walls in electroplating tanks.
Many coins that have been offered
for deposit at banks recently have the
designs brought out more sharply than
is natural. 1t is supposed that these
coins have been stripped and were
left in the acid bath too long. But
even in these coins the unframed eye
would see no sign of mutilation. One
of the largest electroplaters said that
shippers could take as much as a
pennyweight of gold, worth more than
a dollar from $40 gold piece with
out making any easily perceptible
change. There is no risk of loss in
damaging gold coins, because if the
acid should eat too much or roughen
the surface the entire coin may be
melted up and the metal sold for an
amount equal to the value of the
coin.
A special difficulty in getting evil
dence against the stripper is that
even If he be caught with the coins
in solution nothing is proved, as he
can say that he intends to use the
coins, instead Of bullion, for plating,
and will not try to pass them as
money. There is no law against dis.
solving or melting coins, provided they
are destroyed as currency, and many
jewelers. fuse gold coins instead of 60
ing to the trouble Of getting bullion
for the purpose. None of the estab.
lished electroplaters is suspected OF
being engaged in the illegitimate prac.
tice. It is supposed that temporary
plants are put up by shippers in Sc.

little equipment is required.
The fad for Lincoln pennies in Jew.
elry received attention because a
gold plated penny might be mistaken
for a five-dollar gold piece. It was re-
called that when the five-cent nickels
were first used they did not have the
word "cent" on them. Many such
coins were plated with gold and
passed on ignorant immigrants az

A new safety lamp for miners has

completely incased. The circuit of the
lamp is kept closed by means of a

lamp. Should the glass be broken,
the ring would be sure to break or be
displaced, opening the circuit. Of the
