Weight of Gobi and Rills.
Said Mr. C. K. Stout of tho treas
ury office, as he sat before the scales
with SB,OOO or SIO,OOO in double
eagles at his elbow, “How many $1
bills do you think it would take to
weigh as much as one of these coins?”
The reporter considered a moment
and made a guess.
“It takes just 27, unless the hills
are trimmed closa Twenty-eight
new $1 hills always weigh a little
more than a double eagle. Don’t you
believe it? Just wait.”
He disappeared in a vault for a few
minutes and presently emerged with
a package of brand now dollar hills
in his hand. Then he counted out 27
of them and said to tho reporter:
“Choose any coin you will.”
The reporter chose a coin, which
Mr. Stout put on one of the scale
pans. Then he put the 27 dollar hills
on the other pan. The long needle
that moves on the index showed that
the beam was almost level. The man
of money added another bill to the
27, and the coin went up. Then the
reporter offered to treat, for his guess
had been shy just 973 dollar bills.—
