THE curious question has come up.

The curious question has come up
in Boston whether forged notes are
properly negotiable. The Boston Jour
nal says:A real-estate transaction took
place on Wednesday, in which we are
informed eight thousand dollars worth
of the Edmunds forged paper was
taken at valuation. Of course, this
may be legitimate transaction, since
this paper will receive q dividend in
insolvency, but nevertheless it is not
often that such evidence of criminality
is passed from hand to hand, and in
some cases it would surely prevent the
law from having any power to punish
and check such crimes. And, then,
should such proof of guilt be nego.

THERE has been some difficulty in
settling the precise formalities to be
observed by the new Prince of Bull
garia when appearing before the Sui
tan at Constantinople, so as to mark
his vassalage while recognizing his
partial independence. This knotty
point has at last, it is announced, been
settled. Among other things, the
question as to the dress which the
Prince is to wear at the Sultan's court
has proved difficult of solution. The
Sultan at first claimed that the Prince
should wear the Turkish uniform, as
the hospodars of Moldavia and Wal
lachia used to do in former times. It
has, however, now been settled that he
shall be allowed to wear the European
dress; only the Sultan insists that he
shall wear a fez, and this point has
been conceded.

paper, that it can be split into two or
even three parts, however thin the
sheet. Thus leaf of the London Ilza1s-
trated NesOs may be thus divided into
three parts, or three thin leaves. One
consisted of the surface on which the
engravings were printed, another was
the side containing the letter-press, and
perfectly blank piece on each side
was the paper that laid between.
Many people who have not seen this
done might think it impossible, yet it
is extremely easy, as we will show.
Get piece of plate-glass and place it
on sheet of paper, which must be
thoroughly soaked. With care and q
little dexterity the sheet can be split by
the top surface being removed. But
the best plan is to paste piece of
cloth or strong paper to each side of
the sheet to be split. When dry, vio-
lently and without hesitation pull the
pieces asunder, when q part of the
sheet will be found to have adhered to
one and part to the other. Soften the
paste in water and the pieces can be
easily removed from the cloth. This
process is generally demonstrated as a
matter of curiosity, but it can be util-
lied in many ways. If we want to
paste in scrap-book newspaper ar
ticle printed on both sides of the paper,
and possess but one copy, it is very
convenient to know how to detach one
side from the other. Some time ago
the information how TO split paper in
this manner was advertised to be sold
for considerable sum.--Lond0f, Illus-
