& THE UNSEEN GOLD SUPPLY. IT MOVES IN A STEADY STREAM TOWARD THE MINT. Keepsakes ‘and Jewelry May Bo Hoarded, But the Mint Gets Them-How Gold Is Melted. «r\ LD Gold and Silver Bought I 1 Here," was a sign hanging V y in front of an Eighth ave nue shop that attracted iho attention of two passers-by « few days ago. One of the passers was a Sun reporter, the other was Mr. J. Bobley Dunglison, Begistrar of De posits in tho Philadelphia Mint, who probably knows more about the un seen supply of gold than any other man in this country. The “unseen gold supply” is a term the mint peo ple use to describe the tons of gold and silver that lie in the half-forgot ten boxes in bureau drawers—old gold pencils, old watch cases, neglected pocket pieces, broken chains, specta cle rims, and a thousand other bps of metal that have intrinsic value. Most of these things are sure to find their way to the. mint sooner or later, and when they do it is Mr. Dunglison who makes an entry of their weight in the mint’s big books. “There is one of our feeders,” Mr. Dunglison said, as he read the sign. 'Ton would be surprised to know how much of the gold and silver that we turn out in coin comes to us through such places. There ore thousands of buyers of old bullion in this city, and tens of thousands of them throughout the country. In the aggregate they send us a great many tons of bullion every year, and so put a great deal of money into circulation that would otherwise lie idle. "There is no piece of gold or silver so large or so small,” he continued, “that the dealers will not bay it. Do you know that gold filling out of ex tracted teeth make a considerable item in the mint’s gold? They do. When a dentist extracts a tooth he is sure to extract also any gold that may be in 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 know how thoroughly all bullion is refined and cleansed in the mint before it it coined. *Tou will find that all these dealers would a little rather buy old silver than old gold, because there i» more profit in it. The price of silver fluctu ates 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. G7 always, in all civilized coun tries ; and this is so well understood that the dealer must pay pretty near ly that much for it. He generally in creases his profit a little by paying in goods instead of in cash. The dealer must be able to do a little crude as saying himself, or he is likely to make mistakes. Gold jewelry, for instance, is rarely made of pure gold. Our mint standard for pure bullion is 1000, and we rarely get a watch case 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 are carrying a gold watch, but the chances are ninety-nine in a hundred that the cases are half copper. The cases will reach the mint some day, almost to a certainty, and then the copper will come out “The flow of old jewelry to the mint is almost as certain and steady as the flow of water down an incline. The old trinket is broken and useless, and you lay it away. Perhaps it is an heir loom, or for some other reason you are attached to it, and you would not think of selling it. But a rainy day may come, and you are glad to sell it. In any case, you are sure to die some time, and your heirs will not care for the chain; then we get it and turn it into dollars or eagles. “Wo do not buy bullion in small quantities at the mint—nothing less than $100 worth of gold or silver at a time, and then we do not pay for it until it has been assayed. If you bring us $100 worth of metal that you suppose to be gold, we weigh it and give you a receipt for it, and three days later you can call and leceive the money for whatever gold we find in it No matter if the lot only con tains a dollar’s worth of gold, wo will receipt for the weight and extract the gold for you and pay you for it But you lose all the base metal, because in the refining everything but the gold and silver is destroyed. That is, it is practically destroyed, because our work is v-'th gold and silver only, and we do not make any effort to save the base metals. It could easily be done, but it would not pay for the time and trouble. We could separate not only the gold and silver, but the copper also, and the lead and whatever else is present. “Wherfyou 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 has been assayed. Your gold is put into an iron box with two locks, and when its turn comes the box is taken to the melting room, where it is opened by two men, i\ch of whom has a key to one of the looks. The metal is put into a cruci ble, with a little borax to prevent its sticking. Tho crucible is pfit into a furnace, and when the metal is melted it is moulded into a bar. 4 That bar contains all the metal in your lot, whether it be gold or brass, and it is the ossayer's business to find out how much gold it contains. While it is in the crucible it is stirred constantly and thoroughly, so that all its metals may be 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 gramme, or 7.7 grains troy. The bar and the sample are numbered to correspond, and tho bar is looked up in the iron box agaiu. But the 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 fol lowing the chip to the assaying room, for a man who is working with scales that will weigh the thirteen-hundredth of a grain cannot be talking to visitors. “You are not familiar with the bone- ash cup, I suppose, that we call the cupel? To the uninformed that is one of the wonders of the mint. It is simply a little, shallow cup made of bwe ashes moistened and pressed, but it does some wonderful work. It will absorb any metals that are melted in it, except gold and silver. That sounds a little doubtful, but it is a fact that can readily be accounted for on scientific principles. You melt a lump of mingled gold and copper in this little cupel, and every particle of the copper disappears, leaving tho gold alone in the bottom of the cup. That is the first step in assaying gold, taking no account of a dozen minor 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 tiny button that remains in the cup has cooled sufficiently, it is flattened with a hammer and run between rollers till it comes out a-littlo spiral that wo call a cornet. This is put in a little vessel like a thimble with a slit in the bottom, and is boiled in nitric acid. The acid dissolves the silver, which runs out through the slit, but it cannot dissolve the gold. Tae tiny chip that remains in is pure gold.”—New York Sun. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Agate is successfully imitated. Fossil bisons have been unearthed in Kentucky. Porcelain is to be substituted for gold in filling teeth. The whale is a warm- blooded, air breathing, milk-giving animal. Bedroom windows should never be entirely closed if the person occupy ing the room is strong. When ants show great activity it may almost be invariably depended upon that rain will follow within twelve hours. “Tissus Microbicides,” warranted to keep out tho most preserving bacillus, arc being sold by some of the chief Parisian shops. Indian corn, or maize, never has an uneven number of rows of grain, be cause it has opposite radicals of growth from the co-center. One of the new rifles used by the Italian soldiers sends a ball with force enough to go through five inches of tolid oak at a distance of 1000 feet. According to M. Flammarion, the great astronomer, the mean tempera ture of Paris for the past six years has been two degrees below the normal. A German officer has invented a motor in which a tine stream’of coal dust is utilized to drive a piston by explosion in the same manner as the gas iu the gas engine. Aluminium bronzecansists of ninety per cent, copper an 1 ten per cant, aluminium, and possesses a tensile strength of 90,015 pouuls. It can bj worked in the same manner as steel. The idea of an ancient tropical con tinent at the South Pole, uniting South America, Madagascar and Australia, continues to arouse cousnlerabio in terest aul discussion iu scientific circles. Professor Dewar has demonstrated that metals augment their magnetic qualities and iucrease iu strength by diminution of temperature. Iron at 180 degrees cau endure double its nor mal tensile strain. There is a mystery about the method of motion of condors that has never been explained. They have been seen to circle to and fro iu the sky, half a day at a time, rising aul descending without once flapping a wing. Touch the convex side of a watch glass upon water so as to leave a drop hanging on the glass. Pour a little ether into the concave side and blow upon it. The rapid evaporation of the other will render the glass so cold th it tho drop of water will be frozen. Lieutenant F. Boyer, of tho French navy, to avoid collisions, proposes to introduce ab tho top on all fast sailing steamers an electric light which will cast a beam ahead to iudicate the di rection in which the vessel is steering. So long as the approaching ship was not in tho actual pencil of light it would bo unnecessary to alter her course. A new anthropometric tost of sensi tiveness has been designed by Dr. G il- ton. A band of color, showing all the sixty-fivo shades of l)lu<>, is slowly nassed before tho eyes, an l tho sub ject makes a dot for every shade de tected. As far as tho experiments have proceeded only about twenty shades are generally discovered. In one case, however, a dyer detected about forty. A fish exerts its great propulsive power with its tail, not iti fins. The paddlewheel was made on tho fin theory of propulsion, and tho screw propeller had its origin in notiu ; tho action of tho tail. It is uo .v shown that tho fins of tho tail actually per form tho evolutions described by th i propeller blades, and that tho fish in its sinuous motiou through tho water depends ou tho torsional action of the tail to give it power. Making a Throne. Talking of the Emperor of Austria, it may be of interest to state that lie is just having a new throne built, r itlier a remarkable fact when it is consid ered that thrones arc becoming obso lete “'•ewherc except as a metaphor and manner of speech, says the Vienna News. The throne is at Buda Pcsth, and is to be used by him when acting as King of Hungary. It appears that the royal palace in tho Magyar capital had no suitable chair different from the remainder of tho furniture iu which the Emperor can sit upon solemn occasions, such as, for instance, when ho receives par liamentary delegations. One of the imperial armchairs from the palace at Vienna has, therefore, always hal to be packed off to Buda Testh for tho occasion. The Emperor inten led to have the new throne built after the modal of tho one which his great ancestress, Maria Theresa, was iu the habit* of using. But attention was t illed to tho fact that it would not harmonize with the character of tho st ito apart ments of tho palace at Bud i I’estb, and, consequently, a Hungarian artist wasrequestol to devise an entirely new throne adorned with all kinds of symbolic emblems and calculated to impart majesty aud dignity to its oc cupant on great occasions. Wean an 8 8-8 Hat, A mar with a head two feet one and five-eighth inches in circumference is a curiosity, and when Moses Hall, col ored, of Owings Mills, walked into the store of C. B. Bates, 1308 Penn sylvania avenue, Saturday afternorn, Mr. Bates was not a little bit sur prised. At first glance Hall’s heal looked as if a seven and three-eighth hat would fit it. That is an un usually largo size, but when that hat was tried on it was too small. Then Mr. Bates bethought him of an old Derby which he had in his window off and on for over a year, with a placard stating that it would be giveu to any one it would fit. Tho size was seven aud seven-eighths, which is the larg est Mr. Bates has sold in his ten years’ experience. After some search the hat was found and tried on, but to the disgust aud astonishment of the storekeeper it was too small. It rested on the back of Hall’s head as a ton-year-old boy’s hat would rest on that of an ordinary man. Mr. Bates then meamred tho man’s head au l found that it would requiio a hat eight and three-eighth size. That is twelve sizes larger than the average hat worn by man.—Baltimore Ameri can. Humming Bird Kllle 1 by a Bee, A humming bird was killed by the sting of a bee iu Wisconsin notion.- ago. A bee keeper noticed a pair o ruby-throated humming birds flyin around the entrance of one of th hives. Soon a bee made its appear ance from within. One of the bir i seized it tore it apart and seemed to be feeding on something found iu the bee. Just then another bee came out, flew and alighted ou the back of the bird. The latter gave a kind of spas modic shudder, flew a few feet side- wise, landed at the foot of a curran bush, aud was dead, apparently killed by tho sting of Iho bee.—New Yor Sun.

Mrs. Anna 11. Allen owns 143 acres of land nt tho point where the river Dos Peres enters tho Mississippi, and she leased it to tho St. Louis, Iron Moun tain and Southern. Later soventy-fivo acres was added to this tract by ac cretions from tho Mississippi. The company has a transfer at this point aud was compelled to cross the new land in transferring cirs. It, how ever, refused to pay rent for the land embraced in the new formation, on the ground that it was not etnbrased in the lease. Judge Dillon held that the accretions had become a part ol the original tract, and, inasmuch as the company had used the land, it was liable for rent. The land was valued by experts at $135 par acre, and judg ment was given against the railroa 1 upon the basis of six per cent, on this valuation.—New Orleans Picayune. »$♦♦«♦♦♦♦♦«$•«♦$$$$•+$$$* McELREES [WINE OF CARDU1.:: For Female Diseases, i /'' vv x Those, who have the most hrtve it, as a rule, because they rave the most.
