Splitting Ten.DOllar Bills.

A new departure in the matter of
counterfeiting money was brought to
light at the United States Sub Trea sury
in Baltimore few days ago. A some
what worn ten.dollar bill was presented
at the cashiers window with request
for change, which was given. The note
was sent to Washington as mutlated
currency, and was returned with the in
formation that one side of the note was
good, but the other side was we'll
executed counterfeit of the original
1t was found that genuine ten.dollar
bill had been split, the face being sepa-
rated from the back, a seemingly i'm.
po sible undertaking. The original
face, with counterfeit back, had been
used, and it is quite likely that the
genuine back with a well executed
counterfeit face had been passed in
some other quarter. The portion of the
note was worth exactly its proportion
of the whole, or in other words, $5.
More recently another $40 "front" was
a similar request for change. The clerk
at the window, suspecting the bill, told
the man who handed it in to wait a
moment until he could consult DIR.
Bishop, the ub.Treasurer. DR.. Bishop
recognized in the note the familiar
game, and said it was worth just S..
When the clerk returned to the win
dow, however, the man left without
waiting for his change. The Sub
Treasury, which was $5 out on the first
transaction, was evened by the second.
This system of manipulating paper
money ia perhaps one of the most dan.
gerous forms of swindling ever attempt
ed. One or more genuine fronts"
mixed with several whole notes would
be liable to deceive expert bank tellers.
The face bearing undoubted proof of
genuinenes', very few would be apt to
examine the backs of all the notes,
unless something in the feeling of the
paper might arouse suspicion. Then,
should any one, especially if not so
expert as bank teller, happen to strike
the counterfeit side and have his
doubts about the notes, glance at the
other side would possibly set at rest all
questions. Baltimore Sun.

Must There be u Tariff on Wool?

Tho tariff on wool is causing the law
makers considerable annoyance. They
fear the power of the wool growers, and
they also fear the influence of the wool.
en- manufacturers. Now, we cannot
compete with Australian wool growing.
That is an established fact, and, as wool
can be shipped in convenient form, and
will keep any length of time, our farm
ers must stare the difficulty in the face.
But we wish to urge farmers to endeavor
to use the sheep in more ways than one.
We do not understand how the product
OF an animal can affect the real value of
the animal itself. Wool is but a very
small portion of what can be derived
from sheep. The mutton of those
breeds that are specially adapted for
that purpose is more valuable than the
fleece of the best fine wooled variety,
while the early lambs bring higher
price in market at times than is more
than equivalent to what may be derived
from both mutton and wool. Then, it
must not be overlooked that the sheep
consumes much that would be of no
value without its aid, while as an i'm
proven and renovator of the soil that has
no superior. Rural Home.

Solid Matter of the wheat
Kernel,
solid

Does the solid matter of the wheat kernel
increase after cutting, when the grain is cut
before ripening? This is question often
times discussed by farmers. Some hold
that when wheat is cut while still green the
growth of the kernel is completed after cut
ting, in the same manner rs when the wheat
is allowed to stand until fully ripe. In order
to get information or this point in expert
ments conducted by Professor Jordan on the
Pennsylvania State College grounds, SAM
pies of wheat were cut at various stages of
growth, in each case the kernel of a portion
of the sample being removed Immediately
upon cutting, and the kernels of the re-
naming portion being allowed to dry on the
stalk In the usual manner. After the wheat
had become as dry as it would ge. in a
warm, dry room, two lots of 500 kernels
each were counted from each sample and
then weighed. In this manner any appre-
ciable growth on the part of the wheat dried
on the stalk would be detected. A table
giving the various weights of the kernel at
different stages makes the increase in
weight of the kernel after the wheat was cut
to have been about % per cent. in the case
OF the partially developed kernels taken
June oath. In all subsequent samples the
Kernels dried on the stalk seem to be no
heavier than those removed before drying
and Immediately after cutting.
