DETECTION OF FORGED WRITINes.-
The most common forgeries are those in
which only very small part of docu-
ment has been tempered with. Some.
times only the words or figures showing
the amount of money are erased from q
note. In wills it is not uncommon to
erase the name of the party or one of the
parties to whom property has been left,
and to substitute others. In case of for
gerieq of this kind, 1t is of less impor.
lance to know what was written
than to know if anything was previously
written. In such gases the Journal oil
applied Chemistry recommends that the
document be first copied or photographed,
that the writing be removed by oxslic
acid solution, that the paper be washed
with pure water and then laid in a
shallow dish containing diluted solution
of yellow prussiate of potash. If the pa
per had previously been written upon,
some of the ink will be likely to remain
in the fbres of the paper, and the color
will come out through the influence of
the prussiate of potash. Even without
removing the second or forged writing,
the first may sometimes be discovered BY
lmmersing the paper in dilute by hydroch-
loric acid and afterwards applying the
yellow prussiate of potash solution, which
causes the original writing to appear in
blue color.
