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.

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

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

Bent lov Male Land,
Tho St. Lo.nis courts have recently
decided a case of no little interest to
the dwellers on tho banks of rivers
where new land is likely to be made.
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.

Absolutely pure
Dead Paupers Made Uselul.
Nothing is nseloss nowadays—not
even a defunct pauper. Hood’s plain
tive wail—
Rattle his bones over the stones ,
He's only a pauper whom nooo ly owns—
is now out of date. The guardians
know better than to act so recklessly,
for often tho party concerned is the
possessor of a set of artificial teeth
which contains a good deal of gold—
last relic of more prosperous times—
and in tho interest of tho rate-payers
the precious metal must bo secured
and turned into pounds starling. Of
ten, too, they aro tho o veers of rings
or tiny trinkets, not pawuable, but
still containing as much auriferous
value as not a few modern gold mines.
These have to bo collected and also
converted into cash by means of the
melting-pot. In tho Holborn Union
the melting process takes place once a
year, and has just been accomplished
for the present season. Tho jewelry
dealt with is what is found ou paupers
who dio friendless an 1 unclaimed in
its various establishments.
This week rings, chains, brooches
and trinkets have been melted down,

at eleven carats, and worth about £15.
A good portion of it was from ths

>r,’d that onouo set of artificial teeth
there was at least £1 worth of gold.
The proceeds are paid, into tho com

High Buildings.
It has for centuries been one of tho
ambitions of humanity to build soma
structure that should tower above all
others in the vicinity or in tho world.
The Eiffel Tower was one of tho latest
exploits; but this has been condemned
as unsafe, and tho upper part of tho
tower is to be removed. It is, how
ever, something of a white elephant
ou tho hands of its owners, as there is
no safe means known by which it cau
be removed. Tho English people were
so well pleased with the Ferris Wheci
that they are having ono built in
Loudon. It will bo considerably
larger than its Chicago model, aud
there arc several minor improvements
suggested for it, although in the main
tho Ferris plan will be followed. The
World’s Fair wheel is to be removed
to New York City, and set up to de
light thousands who could not go to
Chicago. —Ledger.

him to let you read tho manuscript ol

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s besi products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to nealth of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fever-
ana permanently curing constipation
It hag given satisfaction to millions am
