?? S X IjI) Gold and Silver Bought
I I Hero," wok a sign hanging
\ y in front of an Kighth avenue
simp that attracted
the attention ?>f two passers-by a few
days ago. One of tho passers was a
Hun reporter, the other was Mr. J.
liobley Dnuglison, llegistrar of Deposits
in tho Philadelphia Mint, who
probably knows more about tho unseen
supply of gold than any other
man in this country. The "unseen
gold supply" is a term tho mint people
use to describe tho tons of gold
and silver that lie in tho half-forgotten
boxes iti bureau drawers?old gold
pencils, old watch cases, neglected
pocket pieces, broken chains, spectacle
rims, and a thousand other bits of
metal that, have intrinsic value. Most
of these things nro sure to find their
way to tho mint soouer or later, and
when they do it is Mr. Dunglison who
makes an entry of their weight in tho
mint's big books.
"There is ono of our feeders," Mr.
Dunglison said, as ho read tho sign.
"You would be surprised to know how
much of the gold and silver that wo
turn out in coin comes to us through
sucu places. lucre nro tmmsamls of
buyers of oM bullion in this city, and
tens of thousands of them throughout
the country. In the aggregate they
senil us a great inauy tons of bullion
every year, and so put a great deal of
money into circulation that would
otherwise lie idle.
"There is 110 pieco of gold or silver
so large or so small," he continued,
"that the dealers will not buy it. Do
you know that gold tilling out of extracted
teeth make a considerable item
in the mint's gold? They do. When
a dentist extracts a tooth ho is sure to
extract also any gold that may bo iu
it, and these tiny bits after a while
make a little boxful, which is sold to
a dealer. The idea seems unpleasant,
but it is not, when you kuow how
thoroughly all bullion is refined and
cleansed iu the mint before it ia
coined.
"You will find that all these dealers
would a littlo rather buy old silver
than old gold, because ikoiu is moro |
profit in it. Tho price of silver fluctuates
so much that they can always buy ,
it for considerably less than its real
value; but tho price of gold never
varies. An ounce of gold is worth
$20.(17 always, in all civilized countries;
ami this is so well understood
that the dealer must pay pretty nearly
that much for it. He generally in- '
creases his profit a little by paving in
goods instead of in cash. The dealer
must be able to do a little crudo as- 1
saying himself, or lie is likely to mako 1
mistakes, (told jewelry, for instance, 1
is rarely made of puro gold. Our 1
mint standard for pure bullion is 1000, (
and we rarely get a watch caso or a
ring or a chain that assays more than
500, showing that it is half gold or <
silver and half alloy. You think you i
are carrying a gold watch, but tho
chances are ninety-nine in a hundred
that tho cases are half copper. The
cases will reach tho mint somo day, (
almost to a certainty, <aud then tho
copper will come out.
'The flow of old jewelry to tho mint (
is almost as certain and steady as tho
flow of water down an iucline. Tho
old trinket is broken and useless, and
you lay it away. Perhaps it is an heirloom,
or for some other reason you are
attached to it, and you would not
think of selling it. but a ruiny day 1
may coiiio, und you are glad to sell it. '
In nuy ease, you are sure to dio Komo
time, and your heirs will not caro for
the chain; then we got it and turn it 1
into dollars or eagles. 1
"\Vodo not buy bullion in small
quantities at the mint?nothing less ?
than ?100 worth of gold or silver at a 1
time, and then we do not pay for it
nutil 'L has been assayed. If you 1
bring us 8100 worth of metal that you
suppose to be gol?l, we weigh it aud '
give you a receipt for it, and three
days later yen can call ami teeeivo \
the money for whatever gold we llnd 1
in it. No matter if the lot only con- i
fvvu.s a dollar's worth of gold, we will i
receipt for the weight and extract the
gold for you an I pay you for it. But i
you lose all tho base metal, bocause in 1
the refining everything but the gold
and silver is destroy? I. That is, it is ,
practically destroyed, because our i
work is with gold and silver only, and
wo do not make any eifort to save tho
base metals. tt cot.id easily be done,
but it would not pay for tho time aud
trouble. We could separate not only
the gold an 1 silver, but the copper
also, and the leal an I whatever else
is present.
"When you take a quantity of old
gold to the mint to sell, your metal is
not mixed with any other metal. Each
lot is kept separate until it lias boon
assayed. Your gold is put into an iron
box with two locks, and when its turn
comes tho box is taken to the melting
rnnin. wlinrn il. in nnniitifl l>v Iva mnn
tMch of whom has 11 key to one of the 1
locks. The metal is put into a cruoi- |
l?le, with u little borax to prevent its
sticking. The crucible is put into a
furnace, ami wlieu the metal is melted
ft is mottide 1 into a bar. That bar
contains all tie* metal m your lot,
whether it be gold or brass, and it is
tie- assayer's business to find out how
much gold it contains. While it is in
the crucible it is stirrel constantly
an I tb iroitghly, so that all its metals
may lie distributed equally through*
out the bar.
"When the bar is returned to the
weighing room the assayer chips from
it a tiny piece that must weigh just
half a grainiii , or 7.7 grains troy.
The l?ar and the sample arc numbered
to correspond, and the bar is locked
up in the iron box again. Hut llio
chip is taken to the assaying room,
where it is put through one of the
most delicate mechanical processes in
the world. No danger of visitors following
tie- chip to the assaying room,
for a man who is working with scales
i lint win wei^n mo unrtoen-iiunurcnth
of ii ^rain <"iiiinot be talkia<? to visitors.
"You urn not familiar with the bonoa^li
cup, I suppose, that we call the
cupel? To tie iiiiinforincil that is
one oI the wonders of the mint. It is
simply a little, shallow cup made of
bono ashes moistened and pressed,
/
f
Out it does somo wonderful work. It
will absorb any metals that aremeltod
in it, except gold and silver. That
sounds a little doubtful, but it is o
fact that can readily bo accounted for
on scicntitio principles. You melt a
lump of mingled gold and copper in
this little cupel, ami every particle of
the copper disappears, leaving tho
gold alono in tho bottom of the cup.
That is the first step in assaying gold,
taking no account of a dozen miuor
operations that merely lead up to it.
"This melting in the cupel does not
give pure gold, however, for gold is
often alloyed with silver. After tho
tiu.v button that remains in the cup
lias cooled sufficiently, it is flattened
with a hammer and run betweos
rollers till it comes out a little spiral
that we call a cornet. This is put in
a little vessel like a thim'olo with a
slit in the bottom, ami is boiled in
mi. . _ i t- .

slit, but it canuot dissolve the gold.

Wears on 8 3-8 Hot.
A mat with a head two feot one and
five-eighth inches in circumference ia
a curiosity, and when Moses Hall, colored,
of Owings Mills, walked into
the store of C. B. Bates, 1308 Pennsylvania
avenue, Saturday afternoan,
Mr. Bates was not a little bit surprised.
At first glance Hall's head
looked as if a seven and threo-eighth
hat would tit it. That is an unusually
large size, but when that hat
was tried on it was too small. Then
Mr. Bates bethought him of an old
Derby which ho had in his window oh'
and on for over a year, with a placard
stating that it would bo given to anyono
it would fit. Tho size was soven
and seven-eighths, which in the larg
est Mr. Bates has sold in his teu
years' experience. After some search
the hut was found and tried on, but to
the disgust aud astonishment of the
storekeeper it was too smalL It
rested 011 the back of Hall's head as a
ten-year-old boy's hat would rest on
that of an ordinary man. Mr. ltates
then measured the man's head aud
found that it would rcquiro a hat
eight and three-eighth size. That is
twelve sizes larger than tho nverage
hat worn by man.?Baltimore American.

lie's only a pauper who.n nobo Jy owns?
is now out of Jute. Tlio guardians
know better than to act so recklessly,
for often the party concerned is tho
possessor of u set of artificial teeth I
which contains a good deal of gold?
last relic of more prosperous times?
and in the interest of tho rate-payers
tho precious metal must bo secured
and turned into pounds sterling. Often,
too, they are the o-vjjera of rings
or tiny trinkets, not pawnable, but
still containing as much auriferous
value an not a few modern gold mines.
These liavo to be collected ami also
converted into cash by means of tho
melting-pot. In tho Holborn Union
the melting process takes place once a
year, and has just been accomplished
for tho present season. Tho jewelry
dea't with is what is found on paupers
who die friendless and unclaimed in
its various establishments.
This week rings, chains, brooches
and trinkets have been melted down,
and produced a bar of go d, estimated
at eleven carats, and worth about ?11).
A good portion of it was from the
plates of artificial teeth. Mr. Walton
mid that onouo set of artificial teeth
there was at least ?1 worth of gold.
The proceeds are paid into the common
exchequer oi the union. ?Loudon

ambitions of humanity to build houiu
structure that should tower above ?!l
cthvis in tho vicinity or in tho world. |
Tho Eiffel Tower was one of tho latest i
exploits; but this has been condemned
as unsafe, and tho upper part of tho J
tower is to bo removed. It is, how- t
ever, something of a whito elephant
011 the hands of its owners, as there is ,
no safe means known by which it can
be removed. The English people were
so well pleased with the Ferris Wheci
that they are having ono built in
London. It will bo considerably
larger than its Chicago model, and
there are several minor improvements
suggested for it, although 111 the main
tho Ferris plan will be followed. The
World's Fair wheel is to bo removed
to Xew York City, and set up to delight
thousands who could not go to
Chicago. ?Ledger.

Way to I'leaso an Author.
Mark Twain says there are three
"infallible ways of pleasing an author:
1. To tell him you have read
one of his books; 2. To tell him you
have read all of his books; 3. To ask
him to let you read the manuscript of
his forthcoming book. No. 1 admits
you to his respect; No. 2 admits you
to his admiration ; No. 3 carries you
clear into his heart."?Chicago Herald.
_
The chief maritime cities of tho
United States in their order of importance,
are New York, Boston, New
Orleans and Balt imore.

than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptlyadapting
the world's best products to

the value to nealth of the pure liquid
