1894, and 299.6O on Nov. -, 1895. He
was found guilty on Feb, II, 1898,

With Scissors and Paste
WHY GOLD PIECES ARE "DOC-
TORED."

Why don't jewelers. melt up $40
and $40 gold pieces In order To use
the metal I'm the manufacture of gold
jewelry? indeed, gold pieces We're
used some 40 years ago by euterpfls-
ing jewelers. with success, too-until
the practice was stopped in n very
novel but effective way In those
days jewelers. bought enough $40 and
$40 gold pieces for the work in hand.
The gold was melted, the necessary
alloys were added and all manner
of fine Etruscnn work was turned
out.
1t was not long, however, before the
government began to wonder what
was becoming of It's gold pieces. The
Officials knew the people were not
boarding gold, so a quiet investigation
took place II was then discovered
that the makers OF gold jewelry were
to blame. Having found the cause,
it was not difficult for the officials to
find a cure. They did IL by pepper
ing the coins with iridium. Resem-
hing black emery in the crude state,
iridium requires a heat of 3,642 de-
prees r. to melt II. Gold, on the
other hand, can be melted at 1,9l4
Fahrenheit. 1t is easy to see, then,
how the unsuspecting ieweler, melt
ing up his gold pieces at the temper
ature required, got a large number
of unmelted specks Of iridium in his
metal when 1t cooled,
You can imagine his dismay when
his analysis and deductions revealed
that he had been trapped.

But more significant IL the fact that If
every state north Of the Ohio river
