wat'er .shall flow out and surround them. Let A B c D (fig. 21)
be a sacrificial vessel or treasure
chest, having an opening in its
mouth, A ; and in the chest let
there be a vessel, F G H K, containing
water, and a small box, L, from which
a pipe, L M, conducts out of the chest.
Near the vessel place a vertical rod, N X,
;ibout which turns a lever, O P, widening
at o into the pl;;te R parallel to the bot-
tom of _ the vessel, while at the extremity
P is suspended a lid, s, which fits into the
box L, so that no water can flow through
the tube L M : this lid, bowever, must be
heavier than the plate R, but lighter than
the plate and coin combined. When the
coin is thrown through the mouth A, it
will fall upon the plate R and, preponder-
ating, it will turn the beam o P , and raise
the lid of the box so that the water will
flow : but if the coin falls off, the lid will
descend and close the box so that the discharge ceases.

Micon Has Big Month
LOS ANGELES-Accordin g to Leonard
Micon, manager of Pacific Coast Distribu-
tors, the month of October was exception-
ally good and exceeded expectations.

what is generally considered the coin ma-
chine sector of the city, we have had a
very nice number of operators in from
Southern California and adjacent states
and sales have been most encouraging. Our
offices are centrally located in the ci ty and
are easy to find; and parking facilities
are ideal for customers."
Currently Micon is featuring Zingo, the
first upright pin game, which has received
a fine recep tion from western operators.
Firm distributes the game in Southern
California and Arizona.

trainload of cattle Berlinbound. He asked
a local resident about it.

"A cow bit a telephone cable yesterday and
disrupted Nazi communication, so they shot
her as a saboteur.
"Now they are taking 500 other cows to
Berlin as hostages to prevent a recurrence."
