When a crucible long enough, it is lifted out and the glowing molten mass poured out into a mould. Then it is an ingot, and the ingot is washed and trimmed and made ready for the rolling machines. After the crucibles have been used about twenty times they are ground up and treated to recover any precious metals which may have adbered to them. % The next step is to a these ingots through rolling mills; these roll them out into plates of exactly the proper thickness. The most in| thing here is the fact that these mulls have ixtremely rigorous opinions as to what 'exactly the proper thickness" means. The largest, a thirty horsepower af- fair, can be so gauged as to roll a bar te within five ten-thousandths of an such. There is a smaller machine near by which can roll to a fineness of two ten-thousandths of an inch. What is termed a draw beach adjusts the width of the bars to ome tem-thou- sanclths of an inch. Thus these ma- chines . transform the bars into thin strips, the gxact thickuess of the coin that is to be. What is to follow in the main is punching out the discs, and stamping 'on these discs the de- sigh. The .disc-punching looks simple enough; the. strip. of metal goes in at ome end and comes out at the other perforated with circular holes; if there are any ladies in your party, be sure they will exclaim on the value of this perforated strip for decorative purposes. The perfor- ated strip goes back for re-melting; the heap of dises jy ready for the die. Not quite ready, however; you will notice around the edge of a com, espe- dally a new one, a raised rim, which rotects the impression. A quiet lit- tle machine puts that rim on, with- wit giving you unmecessary hints as to wow it does it. Then the discs are an- nealed, or brought by passing through a furnace into a condition of proper softness; then, after sundry washings and dryings and polishings, they are ready for the coining presses. These three big presses can be fitted with any kind of discs, andjstrike a blow ranging from fifty to hinety tons to the square inch. The blanks are fed nto these, and come out with the im- age of his gracious majesty stamped pon ome wide, the necessary legend on he other. That does not end the story of the coin. There is inspection, to see that all coins are perfect; a machine spreads them out on an endless belt, for ob- servers to notice discolorations or faults of shape; all that are condemned are put through a pair of rollers tigt haggles them so as to be impossible furnace has its crib each crucible | of circulation, and back they go to the has it load of metals arranged in the [melting pot.

The jocks on the doors are of a character which makes it impossible for the men to quit their departments without special permission. i 4 man is taken ill, that special permission is necessary before he ean be removed, All these arrangements lead up to this gramd precaution; the metal to we used is served owt in the morning from a wonderful stromgtoom, with huge steel doors, time-locks, and all other precautions; at the end of the day's work the metal in hand--eom pleted edins, partly' finished coins, in gots, bullion m the ecrucibles--is weighed; until the two weighing tally, no one leaves the building.

Because they are the only medicine which gives the guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst to contain no opium, morphine or other harmful narcotic. This means the mother can give this medicine to her youngest baby with absolute safety. Thousands of moth: ers know this and will give no other' medicive to their little ones. The Tab- lets cannot do harm--they always do . When the little ome has a cold; baby indigestion; colic; when he has worms or his teeth are troubling him, Baby's Own Tablets will prove their worth. Concerning them Mrs. E. Mer riam, Shetland, Ont., writes: "I use Baby's Own Tablets for my tle ones and consider best medicine during the teething per- iod."
