GOLD-COIN SCALES A RELIC
Missouri Man Has Device That Was
in Daily Use in That State
Many Years Ago.

A gold-coin scales of the type so
useful to merchants in the middle OF
the nineteenth century is one of the
relics kept by Jeff Davis of Boonville.
Modern methods of exchange have
rendered the scales useless but it is
in as good condition as it was when
his grandfather used it at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time B. B. BreretOn set up
his little store at Cole Neck, just a
half mile north of what is now Cliff
ton City, the pioneers were crossing
the plains i'll search for gold. Gold
Sweating" was common. Particles OF
gold dust were removed from the coin
so that its value rather than its ap-
pearance suffered. The merchant had
to be constantly on the lookout for
underweight coins when dealing with
such a class of trade.
A pair of scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose. brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. A slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, so,
$40 and $50 coins. Coins failing to fit
exactly in their respective slots were
rejected. (Mo) Republican.

GOSHEN, IND, U. s. A.
Perfects Radio Device.

According to a leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented a device for the pro-
duction of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulatOr, which releases it at certain
intervals. The system is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than in the
older inventions, says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur
rent, and with this system the current
is released with a mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has further advantages
in that it is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded, it is thought that it will mark
a distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence it's possibilities are creating
considerable interest in the radio
world.

my own sister thief. Nevertheless I
was soon at loss to explain the cpl
sodes Mrs. Delario told me.
On the steamer, for instance, she
had twice caught Claire turning over
things in her-Mrs. Delario's-suit-
case. Claire excused it once by say
ing she'd accidentally put some of her
own toilet articles in it By mistake
while she twas too sick to notice"
But what finally brought about the
crisis was this: A sitter had given
Mrs. Delario a ten-dollar bill In pay
ment for a reading, and she had gone
hastily to her room for change, and
returning had left her bedroom door
ajar and a quantity of bills lying. on
the bureau which she hadn't stopped to
put back into her purse. The moment
she had shown the sitter out she went
back to replace her purse and found
Claire in her room. Claire was in the
act of closing the wardrobe door and
said she was looking for her muff
And why her muff in Mrs. Delario's
wardrobe?

Mrs. Delario herself admitted me,

as if it had been in the heart of a

But Mrs. Delario left me but little
time for observation; merely remark

asked if I'd seen Claire and what I
thought Of her.
Well thought a great deal of her
and many things about her, and while

Delario propounded a question that
fairly stunned me: 'Do you think the
