NEW YORK.-More than s1,OO0,O0O
~ is lying in the savings banks of
New York city in what banking peo-
pie call dormant accounts"-that is
accounts to which nothing has been
added and from which nothing has
been withdrawn for many years. But
the depositor in each case is liable TO
appear any day and demand it. In
fact, since the beginning of the year
five accounts in the Emigrants' Saw
ings bank alone, which had been un-
touched for from 25 to 30 years, sud
denly became active" through the
owners, who had not been seen nor
heard from in that long period, reap
pearing at the bank. Some of these
dormant accounts are more than 70
years old; none is less than 22, and
what to do with such deposits has
been a puzzle ever since savings banks
were first established in that city.

Dormant Accounts Reach Big Total

, Money at four per cent interest per
annum doubles itself in about Is years,
and as four per cent Is the average
rate paid by the savings banks in New
York, it will be seen that the 'un.
claimed" money or dormant accounts,
unless checked would pile up enor.
mously in the course of time and be-
come such a burden that the banks
might collapse under 1t. At first the
limit was fixed at 20 years. but later
was extended to % years.
Most of these sleeping accounts
were originally sums of only s. or
$40, fag-ends Of accounts which once
were active. The owners perhaps had
left these small balances simply to
keep their accounts open and finally
perhaps forgot all about them But
many of the accounts represent money
deposited by some emigrant who later
probably went west or to some other
section Of the new country, and, un-
able to write, had never again got in
communication with the bank.
Several of the deposits were made
by men for the benefit of some child
or other person, while a number OF
others represent the savings of seafar-
ing men who had sailed away and for
some reason never returned.

d HILADELPHIA.-A most interest
1 ing machine recently installed in
the United States mint in this city
is the automatic weigher for coins Of
all denominations. Last year the gov
ernment coined nearly $500 900 pieces
Of gold and 36,00O,0OO pieces Of silver.
Formerly each piece was weighed by
hand. Seated at long tables, each
with a balance in front of her, were
from 80 to 60 women "adiusters." It
was their duty to weigh each piece
Pieces which were too heavy were re-
duced with a fle. Those that were
too light we're thrown aside to be put
again into the melting pot. Gold pieces
were weighed twice, once in blank and

the coin which is being tested. Then
they work automatically, each machine
taking ten coins at a time. The move
