WEIGHING COINS. (
How the Tellow Beauties Are Scrutinized
in the Bank of England.
. In another room of this department
the weighing oJSce are seen the
machines for detecting light coin.
These machines are marvels of in
genious mechanism. Threa or four
hundred sovereigns - are laid in a long
brass scoop or semi-tube, of such a
diameter as to admit them comfortably,
and self-regulating to such an incline
that the coins gradually slide down by
their own weight on to one plate of a little
balance placed at its lower extrem'ty.
Acres1. the face of this plate two little
bolts make alternate thrusts, one to
the right, one to the left, but at slightly
different levels. If the coin be of full
we'ght, the balance is held in e quipoise,
and the right-hand bolt, making its
thrust, pushes it off the plate and
down an adjacent tube into the- re
ceptacle for full-weight co n. If, on
the other hand, the co'n is ever
so little "light." ths balance naturally
rises with it. " The right-hand bolt
makes its thrust as before, but this
time passes harmlessly beneath the
coin. Then comes the thrust of the
left-hand bolt, which, as we have sa'd,
s fixed at a fractionally higher level,
and pushes the coin down a tube on
the opposite side, through which it
falls into the light-coin receptacle.
The coins thus condemned ar after
ward dropped into another machine,
whieh defaces them by a cat half way
across tneir u:amet?r, at me rate oi
iO'J a minute. The weighing mach'nes,
of wh'ch there arc-ixtceu, are actuated
by a small atmospheric engine in one
-!orncr of the ro m, the only manual
is:stan?e rc ju:red being to keep then-.
;;m;1 ed w th coins. It is said that tiO.-
000 sovere'gns and ha'f-sovereigns can
be we jrhed ii':e ;n a single dav. The
weighing-iuaehine in question :s the in
vention of Mr. Cottoi, a torni-ir Gover

having been do- rii'd spee'ally for
the lank by .Mr. -air.es Murdoch Na

It is used for the i uro e of weigh

this department. Gold is brought in
in bars of ab;uit c:glit inches long
three w'do, and one inch th'ck. A bar

pure, about -0s. Kach Var wlien
brought in is accomran cd by a memo
randum of its we'ght. The question
of quality is determined by the pro
cess of assaying: thj wo'g'it is checke 1
by means of the wcghmg machine we
have referred to. This takes the form
of an extremely mass ve pair of scale,
working on a Imam of Tumense strength
and solidity, and is based, so as to be
absolutely rigid, on a solid bed of con
crete. The whole stands about six feet
high by three wide,.-and is inclosed in
an air-tight plate glass case, a sash
in which is raised when it is desired to
use the machine. The two side'o of the
seaie are each kept permanently load
ed, the one with a single weight of 3G0
ounces, the other with a .umber of
weights of various sizes to the same
amount. When it is desired to test the
we'ght of a bar of gald, weights to the
amount stated in the corresponding
memorandum, less half an ounce, are
removed from the latter scale, and the
bar of gold substituted in their place. '
Up to this point the beam of the scale
is kept perfectly horizontal, being
maintained in that position by a me
hanical brake; but now a 6tud is
pressi d, and by means of dedicate ma
chinery, actuated by water-power, the
beam fs released." If the weight of the
-oar has been correctly stated in the
memorandum, the scale which holds it
diould be exactly half an ounce in ex
cess. This or any less excess of weight
over the 360 ounces in the opposite

caie is instantly rcgisiereu vy me
mac hine, a pointer traveling round
a dial until it indicates the
proper amount. The func
tion of the machine, however, 's limited
to weighing half an ounce only. If the
discrepancy between the two scales as
loaded is greater than this, or if, on the
other hand, the bar of gold is more
than half an ounce less than the amount
stated in the memorandum, an electric
bell rings by way of warning, the point
er travels right round the dial, and re
turns to zero. So delicate is the ad
justment that the weight of-half a pen
ny postage stamp somewhat less than
half a grain will set the hand in mo
tion and be recorded on the dial.
The stock of gold in the bunion vault
varies from one to three million pounds
sterling' The bars are laid side by side
on small flat trucks or barrows carry
ing 100 bars each. In a glass case in
this vault is seen a portion of the war
indemn'ty paid by King Coffee of
A.sh;:ntee", consisting of gold ornaments,
a little short of standard fineness.

A Celebrated Collection of Mound Build
ers' Utensils.
The State Geologist showed a re
porter on Saturday the nature and use
of a large cumber of the mound
builders' implements. This collection
comprises eleven thousand pieces of
stone fashioned by the ancient dwellers
in Indiana and Ohio. They are from
the valleys of the Ohio and Wabash,
many of them from JIadisonville, O.
Dr. Hill was thirty years in buying
and hunting them out at an expense of
r'6,000. ' Thev were on exhib.tion at
the Centennial, and took the palm as
the rarest and mo-;t valuable collection
of the place and kind. There are
spades, hoes, axes, hammers, grinders,
pestles, skinning stones, knives, ar
rows and spear po'nts. They amount
to an emblematic history of the domes
tic, social, relig:ous and political life of
the mound-builders, and are the only
record by which it can be evolved from
the gloom of ages.

"Hit was a silber watch. Ef yei

he handed over an antiquated old

Last year in Billingsgate alone and
its neighboring streets over 146,000
t6ns of fish were landed. In much less
time than it would take a lady to fix
herself for an afternoon call I have
seen the contents of fields and fields of

Christmas 2,139 tons of beef, represent

with poultry, meat, game and other
provisions that tha difficulty of the
buyers to sret at the sellers waa onlv
equalled by the impossibility of the lat
ter to sally on the former. A Spanish
Ambassador once told Charles II. that
more provisions were sold in that mart
than in all Spain. I bet that if the
Queen would kindly take the present
Spanish representative round the same
place her Majesty would probably hear
the same speech.

which were from the United States.
Each year the proportion of foreign
meat landed here increases. Tho full

those interested will no doubt hearwith
pleasure that the private company,
principally composed of salesmen hav
ing their stores at Smithfield Market,
which had built hard by some cold-air
stores for the keeping of all perishable
provisions, are considerably extending
them. These stores can already take
in from 800 to 900 tons of meat, and
will soon be capable of sheltering
double that quantity. Salesmen will,
therefore, be able to keep the meat as
long as they can get a remunerative price
for it, instead of-having to throw it
away after a certain time regardless of
loss. I have visited these stores. Their
temperature, kept down by splendid

AMBERGRIS.
A Valuable Product WlUch. Is the Result
of D!aeae lu the Whale.
A valuable product of this whale is
the remarkable substance called ambergris-
i. e., gray amber. Until late
years ambergris could only be found
floating on the surface of the sea, the
coasts of Africa, Brazil and the Baha
mas be'ug the usual localities for it.
The color of ambergris when broken is
ashen gray, mostly clouded with a red
dish hue, and diversified with irregular
streaks of yellow and black spots. On
the exter'or it 33 black and shining,
and looks as if it had here and there
been daubed with pitch. It is mostly
found in lumps varying in weight from
half an ounce to a hundred pounds, or
even more. As it is worth about a
guinea per ounc3, a large p'ece is of
very great value; so that a party of
sailors who once found a lump of
fifty pounds we'ght and knew the
value of their discovery, deserted
their . ship and ' went home with
their prize. Ambergris has now been
robbed of its mysteries and is known to
be unprosaically formed by a morbid
condition of the intestine, and there
fore each whale is carefully searched be
fore the body is cut adrift after the blub
ber and spermaceti have been removed.
Not one whale in fifty, however, pro
duces a single ounce of ambergris. The
black spots which have been mentioned
are the hard beaks of octopods which
the whale has eaten, and which retain
their shape after the soft flesh has been
digested. The geological reader mav
remember that the beaks oi cuttle.-
have been found within the bodies of
certain fossd rcpt;les, thus showing
conclusively what was tho nature of
their food. I here are several speci
mens in the College of Surgeons, one
beins a valuable ob cct, as it is cylin
drical, and retains the shape of the in
testine in winch it was formed. Am
bergris is little used in Europe, but in
fehe East it is held in high reputation,
partly as a perfume, and partly as a
valuable ingredient in cookery. Lonq-

i.t,0n Is widely known as the editor of
The Chicago Inter Ocean." one of the most
outspoken and spirited dallies of tho present
age. Like many ether busy editors, Mr. Nixon
overworked himself, and about six years ago
found that his health was gradually running
down. His business associates and his family
felt that he was in a perilous condition, and
urged him to take a rest giving up, for awhile,
all editorial labor. His natural ambition and
his long habits of diligent work were against
this. Declining the suggestion of a vacation,
he kept at his desk. At last, after fighting for
some months with the condition of his system
which was gradually undermining his vitality,
Mr. Nixon concluded to take a lew weeks of
rest. Of that rest and of what followed it we
will let him tell, in his own words, as commilni
catod to one of our correspondents, who recently
visited him at his editorial rooms in Chicago.
Mr. Nixon, who now appears in the prime of
life, and in the full vigor of bodily and mental
vitality, said, substantially: "It was in Feb
ruary, 1878. that I took a severe cold. My sys
tem had become much worked down, and,
driven with constant editorial duty. I had neg
lected it. After long consideration I concluded
to take needed rest. I went to Florida and
Cuba for a few weeks. On the way I had sev
eral hemorrhages from the lungs. I was quite
sick and returned in no better condition than
before. My wife was much alarmed about me.
The physician who attended me on my return
gave me inhalations, tonics, alteratives and
pills ; after taking which, for about two weeks,
I was weaker. I kept at my work, which was
exacting. By September my state had become
critical. I lost flesh and suffered from a severe
soreness in the upper part of my right lung.
My wife's sister, who was in Boston, wrote
about -a treatment which was novel to me
Compound Oxygen. A relative of hers who
had been in such poor health that he had been
compelled to spend several winters in Florida.
had been restored by this Compound Oxygen to
such an extent that he was able to endure tne
climate of Boston in winter. The little book
issued by Starkey & Palen on Compound Oxy
tren was sent me. and after read in if it I con
eluded that even if their method of treating my
ailments could do me no good, mere was reason
to suppose that it would do me no harm.
"I procured a 'Home Treatment' from the
office of Messrs. Starker & Palen. in Philadel
phia. determining to (rive it a fair trial, and
abide the result. For four or five months I
took the inhalations at regular intervals, twice
a day ; continuing my work steadily. At first
no marked effect was observed ; in fact, not
until three or four weeks. Then 1 began to
feel that it was doinar me trood. I found that
when I was exposed to the cold, and to chilling
drafts, my power of resistance was far greater
than it bad been. There was no exhilaration,
but there was a t onstant increase of strenorth.
I still coughed considerably, and, in fact, did so
for some months. The sore spot on my right
lung gave me much annoyance. I rubbed my
chest with various liniments, and I wore a
ehestrprotector. Bnt gradually the soreness
went away, as the lunir (rained strenirth. And
the cough, which had so long clung to me, at
last went off in an unexpected manner. One of
the last coughing-spells I .had was almost
as severe and extended as any I had ever ex
perienced. It seemed to be the going out of the
cough habit. There was probably some ex
traneous matter iu the way. and this severe
spell of couehintr arot rid of it.
" I gained flesh very slowly, but gradually
came hack to my original weight, and now
weigh more tlian before my illness. I am more
able to resist cold, and, though I now take cold
occasionally, I am far less subject to It than I
waa of old. My digestion, which was, of course.
disordered, is now all that I can desire, and
am able to do my customary wark without in
convenience or serious zaiigue. i nave never
iriven a testimonial to any patent medicine.
and I would not ; but I do not consider Starkey
ec faien s tomjwuna uxygen a patent medi
cine. It is a vitalizer and a restorer, and to it
I owe my life.
"Mr. Nixon, did you ever take any other
Oxs-gen Treatment' than thatof Messrs. Starkey
BC f&ien f
"No : I had no use for any other. This served
the purpose perfectly, and did even more than
I could have expected of it."
Uo you ever have occasion to return to the
use of the Compound Oxyaren Treatment since
your restoration to health i "
VOnly occasionally; for instance, if I have
been exposed, and have taken cold. But I keep
a 'Home Treatment' in my family, for we set a
hum value on Its efficiency in cases of need.
and several of my fi lends have found the
advantage of it You may put me on record as
being a hearty and thorough believer in it."
Mr. Nixon's case is nota peculiar one. Thous
ands have been benefited by the use of Com
pound Oxygen. Among those who have expert
encea its wonderful curative properties, are

excess of female population of any city
