Here also the bond rendered useless by
reclamation at expiration or some other
cause Is made indistinguishable from, let
us say mortar, By an extremely simple
process. In the frst place. the cur.
rency Is subjected to- a most, risid
scrutiny and count for the purpose Of de.
tecting counterfeits, and then it is turned
over to men who with a nscsiine cancel
each note 40 etie,tually. that by no poss,.
bility could it ever be used again an
other count is then gone through with for
the purpose Of checking the operators Of
the machine, and preventing them from
appropriating any Of the condemned
money. After the cancelling the money
Is next cut in half, and once more the
separate halves are counted, and when
ascertained to be all right, are placed in
boxes for the purpose Of removingthem to
rIiE MAcERATNo BCn.DiSo
Before alluded to. These boxes are se.
curely locked while in transit from the
treasury 70 the maceratinR establishment.
where they are opened in the presence Of
three representatives Of the treasury. one
acting in behalf Of the secretary, another
for the treasurer, and the last for the
Register. for each batch Ia usually accom-
panied by a quantity Of bonds. From the
boxes the bonds, which are cut, are can.
celled thoroughly. and the currency is
emptied into the materatinR cylindar.
which IA also locked with three separate
locks. the reys of which are held by the
on ,ers. The process Of maceration Il
very simple.
