How Hard Money is Made, “We don't make money here,” sail th» courteous Chief (lork of the Amn Office; “that is, we don’t convert Lu | on into coin. We receive gold and silver from depositors, melt and assay the tn ion, form it into nars and ship the lar to the Philadelphia Mint, and in th course of a few days that institution sends us back the coin. Covernment furnishes us with a bull.on fund amount 2 to ower thirty-five million dolar out of which we pay the depositor ust as soon as the fineness of his metal is determined by assay, the weight ascor tained and the value ealculated. In fact, all our deposits, excopt in cass of | résmelt and re-assay, are made within two days. new double eagle, “you know how casy it is to spend that coin, but unless you are familiar with the work you can form no idea of the time and labor it took to make it. From the time the bullion from which this double eagle was mule ! reached the mint, until it was converte | | into coin, it had passed through no less than ten distinct processes, such as melt ing, alloying, forming the metal into ingots, rolling the ingots into strips the thickness of a eoin, cutting from the strios the Planchets' or ‘blanks’ rn nealing, milling and adjusting the ‘blanks’ and coining or stamping the ieces, beside sundry minor operations neidental to milling. Now, examine that coin closely under the giass and see how well the work is executed. The Romans excelled in the art of engraving and many of the coins were masterpieces But we cannot afford to throw up our central designs in such bold relief as th Romans did, for in the harry an | bustle of our day and the rapid handling an! iling of coins, we wonld soon wear the ace off of the goddess and wings of the eacle. So, while our designs are in ol! relief, vet we make them low and protect them as much as possible from abr sion and wear by ‘throwing up’ the edge of the blank, technically te ‘miliing.’ “The manufacture of dies, or the art of ‘lie sinking,’ has reached great per.ec- tion at the Philadelphia Mint, and all the coinage dies or other mints are made at that institution. The artist first makes the design, and then a model of it in wax three or four times larger than the de sired coin. From this model an electro type is taken, and then the design is trans‘erred by means of a Hill engraving machine, which works on the princ ple of a pantograph, to a block of steel the size of the coin. Bnt as only the pring ghiell, ean be thus transferred, the artist fills in bv hand the sters, date, and al surronnding details. Then, after re ing the ground on the face of the block, he strikes from the block an impression into and upon a second block. This second block is hardened and an impres sion i3 transferred to a third similar block. which we call the ‘parent die’ or ‘master hub’ and from which the regular coinage dies are made. The impression on the ‘master hub’ is in relief, or con- vex, while that on the ‘working’ or co.n- agy die is ‘intaglio,” or concave. “But let ns see what they are doing in here,” saul the Chief Clerk, as ho step wd into the "Weigh Room," where truck ioads of silver were being weight, “il hat scale yon seo there is a model of accur- acy, and will weigh from ten the ON pal design, such as the head, cacle, or | |] ELLEFONTE & ‘Organs and Pianos. “Now,” sald he, picking up a bright | The Cabinet Organ was Introduced by Mason & Hamlin In 1861.

For Coln Collectors. A coin is said to be “proof” when it specially struck by hand press, instead Of by steam press, irom a polished pia chet, and a “proof set” is a complete set of proofs of current coins. A “pattern piece” is an early specimen of proc from & newly alopted coinage die or dies. An impression in soft metal to test an experimental die is called a “trial piece.” When a piece is struck fron regular dies on experimental dies with experiment legends, devices or designs, it Is denominated an “experimental piece.” Trial and experimental pieces, struck for mint purposes only, will not be issued, circulated or sold. Pieces popularly known as restrikes, false metal pieces and metallic replicas, or copies, are prohibited Ly the revised statutes Proof and pattern pieces are sold by the superintendent of the mint.

If they have sold yon a “peachblow vase’ sort of a book, their dignity as well as their interest will make them redeem it at the price they have made you pay, or not much less. It is the ambition of every bookseller not to become wealthy in ten or twenty years, but to become a bibliophile; perhaps be- cause in that realm of Fualicy every- body's desire is to be of the privileged few, perhaps because honors are prized more than riches there. It is silly to run mad after a bit of red ribbon for the .apel of one’s coat, but it is not for the vibliophile who runs mad after book- kinding, to say so. Moreover, the man who would rather have a red ribbon than a fortune, if a bookseller, is the man for a bibliophile. Valuable Looks are not to be sold like old boots; there must be tose show of feeling about it, Preterving Wood. A plan recently introduced into Bel gium for preserving wood from decay produced by the atmosphere, water, etc. is to fill the pores with a liquid gutta percha, which is sid to eflectually pre serve it from moisture and the action of the sun. The process employed consists in exhausting the air from the pores of the wood, and filling with guttapercha solution. In pouring the solution into the pores, the solid guttapercha is ligne fled by mixing with paraiine in propor tiod of about two-thirds of guttapercha to one-third of paraitine ; the mixture is then subim.tied to the action of heat and the guttapercha becomes sufficiently i to : of the The guttapercha fianenied by thir process hardens in the pores of the wood a8 #000 8 it becomes cold.
