SINGULAR "A Hindoo, al Calcutta no
long since offered a quantity of bank notes
10 the Bank Of Bengal for specie, but was
thunders.ruck on being told that the notes
were of no more value than the same
amount OF blank p~aper-the signatures
being wanting. He declared that when
many months previous, he deposited them
in n copper box, from whence they had
not before That day, been removed, the
notes were good notes, had been issued
by the bank, aud the signatures were all
attached to the notes in the usual man
ner. An investigation was had-and IT
was found on comparing the numbers of
their bills, with the records OF the eolngs
of the Bank, that bills Of similar value,
had been issued at that time, and had ne
yer been redeemed.
The Directors. finally concluded that
there was no reason TO suspect fraud. but
wished to avail themselves Of the services
Of an able chemist, before they came to
a final decision. Attempts were accord
ingly made TO discover the traces OF the
signatures which were wanting, but with
out success. The writing in Bengal ink,
which resembles the kind of ink used by
the natives of China remainded uninjured
but what had peer written in English
ink, u kind used by the residents in Ben
gal, composed of sulphate of iron aud al
acid. had entirely disappeared. A paper
which was written on with English ink
was then placed between two sheets o
copper-and in the course of a short time
tho writing was entirely effaced. AfteI
this experiment, the Bank no longer de
INJURED to receiving the notes from th'
Hindoo.
