' THE OLD TRADE DOLLAR.
And the Exaet Ratio of Qold to Silver
In the Year 1870.
Three mining engineers were gather
ed together the other day, and the
question as to the value of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as It may
seem, no one knew Its valuer and there
was considerable haziness as to the
exact value of an ounce of pure gold
or of the old fashioned value of an
ounce of sliver, says a correspondent
In the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. Calculations which I made seem
ed to Indicate that the ratio of gold to
silver In 1870 was not exactly 16 to 1.
Possibly It may be of Interest to the
profession to know the exact figures
which I have received from the assay
er of the mint bureau. United States
treasury.
Coinage value of one ounce pure
gold Is $20.671834626. A convenient
fact, easy to remember, regarding this
figure Is that forty-three ounces of coin
gold, 900 fine, are worth $800.
Coin value of an ounce of ellver
1870 . *1.9*29
Coinage value of a trade dollar In
1870 . 1.01818
The coinage value of a Mexican dol
lar In 1870 . 1.0169
The trade dollar was coined so that
It might be used In the orient on a
parity with the Mexican dollar, which
it slightly exceeded In value. The
Mexican dollar, no longer coined,
weighed 417.74 grains and was 902.7
fine, slightly In excess of the United
States fineness of 900.
In 1870 the ratio of gold to silver
was not 16 to 1, but 15.9684— to 1.
This silver ratio has - been discontin
ued, and the ratio for the present sub
sidiary coinage Is 14.95349 to 1.
OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.
The Journal Dos Debate and Napo
leon’s Famous Nows Order.
The oldest newspaper in Paris, the
Journal des Debats, was one of the
cluster of newspapers which sprang
Into being with the beginnings of pop
ular government in 1788.
It was founded by a printer named
Baudoln, and purported to be, as its
name shows, a mere chronicle of po
litical events. Owing to its pungent
criticisms of men and affairs it soon
became one of the moat Influential of
the Paris Journals.
In 1805 the paper was compelled by
Napoleon to change its name and be
came the Journal de l’Bmplre. It was
In the course of the correspondence
which took place between Napoleon
and the editor, Flevee, on the subject
of the threatened censorship that the
emperor gave the order which has be
come famous, about the policy of the
newspaper, “that it should publish no
news unfavorable to the government
until the truth was so well known that
publication was needless.”
After NapoVon’s retirement to Elba
the paper resumed its old title. It is
still edited and printed in the house
where it was first started, beside the
church of St. Germain de 1’Auxerrols,
from the tower of which the signal
was given for the massacre of St Bar
tholomew's eve. Of all the great Paris
newspapers it has been the least af
fected by the modern developments of
Journalism, and Its dignified columns
are an encouragement to thoughtful re
flection and a serious study of affairs.

The Reconciliation.
The doctor was soon at the child’s
bedside. Remedies were administered;
then the agonized pair watched the
fight for life—skill and vitality on one
side, fierce disease on the other. When
at last the struggle ceased the gray
dawn of day was looking In at the
window. Life had won. The child
slept
“She is all right now," said the doc
tor, shaking the man’s hand, which
had gripped his, and feeling his heart
grow warmer under the look of mute
gratitude the woman turned upon him.
When he bad gone the two stood side
by side at the baby's crib, listening to
her regular breathing. Then with one
accord they turned and kissed each
other. And in that kiss the icy barrier
between them melted away.—Atlanta
Constitution.
Hsyse as a Prize Winner.
The late Paul Heyse was probably
the only man of letters who could
boast of having obtained two Impor
tant literary prizes with an interval of
more than half a century between the
awards. All the world knows that he
got the Nobel prize. All the world
does not know that his play, “The Sa
bines,” was allotted a prize In a
dramatic competition as long ago as
1857. He wus a member of the Bound
Table of the good King Max of Bava
ria, a sovereign whose Joy It was to
surround himself with men of science
and letters.—Pall Mali Gazette.
SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS.
They 8erve Other Purposes Than Re
cording Earthquakes.
Contrary to popular belief, earth
quakes are by no means rare occur
rences. As a matter of fact, practically
all places on the surface of the earth
experience some kind of tremor or
shake at least once an hour, and lesser
tremblings are even more frequent
This fact has been established since
the opening throughout the world of
stations where seismographs record the
slightest movement of this earth of
ours.
The seismographs can be made to
serve several other useful purposes
besides the recording of earthquakes.
Some of them are so delicate that a
railroad train running a mile away will
afTect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced In court to show that the
operation of heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration In near by buildings
to make the owners of the factory lia
ble for damages.
Probably the most unusual purpose
to which the seismograph has ever
been put Is that of determining the
amount of vibration In a locomotive as
a result of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some Ingen
ious methods of cutting down this vi
bration, which means a greatly de
creased consumption of coaL—New
York American.
TALKING FROM THE CHEST.
Not Necessary to Put a Telephono
Transmitter to the Mouth.
In case one does not care to stoop
to s telephone while talking, or does
not care to put the transmitter to the
mouth, be can make himself heard by
very simple means. Simply place the
abdomen or the chest against the
mouthpiece of the transmitter and talk
Into the open air, and the sound will
get to the party on the other end. The
whole chest wall and the wall of the
abdomen vibrate In unison when the
mouth is speaking, as they are a great
sounding board, and they will transmit
the proper sound waves to the dia
phragm. This Is easy to try and as
tonishing in result.
Another peculiar thing noticed In
telephones at times Is phantom talk
beard In a receiver when one Is walt
lng for central to give connection. Odd
scraps of conversations may be heard
In this manner. They are probably
due to conversations going on over
wires lying In close proximity to the
one that you are using—such conver
sations causing small oscillating cur
rents which, by the process of Induc
tion. cause small oscillating currents
to take place in your line of like char
acter.—New York World.
