COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
A st. Louis Sub-Treasury Official Tel
How to Detect Them.

A st. Louis Sub-Treasury Official Tells
How to Detect Them.
A man only becomes an expert at
detecting counterfeit money by long
experience. Like the grain handler
in sorting wheat, he can not explain
how he detects the different qualities,
but is satisfied that he is right. How
ever, there are numerous ways in
which a man accustomed to handling
large amounts of money can detect
the couterfeit bill. The quality of the
paper and the engravings are the prin-
cipal marks that attract the attention.
The long experience in handling the
money accustoms the handler to the
sense of feeling and to the appearance
of the bill, and he will guard against
accepting counterfeits. There are also
numerous private marks put upon bills
by the Government which are sell
dom copied by counterfeiters.
For instance, take a $50 legal-ten-
der note, which has the picture of
George Washington on its face and the
name Washington printed alongside.
Over this name there is what would
seem to be blur, caused by some one
dipping ones finger into ink and draw
ing it across the name, and the counter
feiter rarely divines the reason for
this. On the SO National note, with
the picture of Franklin flying his kite,
there is picture of house supported
by long post, and in this post there
is depicted small nick, as if some one
had struck the post with an ak. This
is a Government mark that l have
never seen on any counterfeit. In
other bills the color and quality, and
the. peculiar ink used by the Govern
ment, serve as safeguards against
counterfeits. On almost every bill
there is a red seal, with peculiar ink,
printed, which penetrates the paper.
Although many counterfeiters have at
tempted to initiate this seal, yet it has
never been accomplished Louis

The Invention of Screws.

1t is not known when screws were
first made and brought into use The
first instance known of machinery
being applied to the making of screws
was in France in 1869, by man named
BessOn, who cOntrived a screw-cutting
gage to be used in a lathe. The early
method had been to make tae heads
by pressing the blanks while red-hot
between dies, and then to form the
threads by the process of filing. In
1741 Besson's device was i'm
proved by Hindley, a matchmaker
of York; and for a long time the
watchmakers of England employed the
latter's method in making the small
screws used in their work. The first
English patent appears to have been
issued to Job and William Wyatt, in
1850, for three machines, one for MAX
ing blanks, another for nicking the
heads and a third for cutting the
threads. Between that date and 1910
about ten patents were issued, only one
of which is worthy of notice, namely
that of Miles Berry, dated January %,
1887, which was for a gimlet-pointed

Boston Transcript, Paris Letter.

Boston Transcript, Paris Letter.
The exhibition of vile books on the stalls
outside librarians windows is at all times
an offense against decency in Paris, but
during the last three or four months the
scandal has become such as to Justify any
modern Juvenal in describing this CITY as an
immense tupdnar Old R me, as described
by Juvenal, could hardly have been more
corrupt than is Paris Of the present day, to
Judge from the literature that one sees
everywhere offered for sale with abso-
lutte liberty and absolute shameless
ness. The government pretends to
exercise some control in the
interest of public morals over pictures and
Illustrations, but the pen and the printing
press are free to pander to the very worst
passions. Books professedly OBJ, scene are
those which meet with the best sale A
gloss OF luxury is generally put upon all
this vilenesS by means of fine paper and
printing, and engravings that are often
beautiful from an artistic point of view.
A work of this kind, entitled 'Pour Dire
Entire Hommes," which appeared a few
months ago, has now run through several
editions. No financial risk appears to be
incurred In PUBLISH G literature of this
sort. 1t pays, con 'equently men of talent
are enticed to wallow in the slough The
prostitution of the arts to the most sordid
aims was never more flag antly apparent
In Paris than it is at the present
time. In addition to the ordinary sun
ply of indecent literature intended for
French readers, mass of literary obscenity
has issued from the press this summer for
strangers attracted by the exhibition. And
the fact Is worth observing, inasmuch as it
Is not at all to the credit of the Anglo-Saxon
race that when such putrescence is published
In foreign tongue the language chosen is

composition in supplying the market. The
indifference of the French legislator and the
nation generally to the disgrace that is in
separaole from the public display of all this
ooscenlty N the streets Of the capital is
really astonishing. One is forced to the
conclusion that the spirit Of uacleanness
must be very strong in a people who can
tolerate the spectacle of this villainous
traffic being carried on with the same pub

electricity is now used in street railways.
According to his tables there are now in
operation 81 of these railways, and 81 more

these companies operated 81 roads of an

THE JUSTICES COURT BILL.
What the Bill Provides and the Rea-
sons for It.

What the Bill Provides and the Rea-
sons for 1t.
It is likely that the bill providing that
justices Of the peace and ex-officio justices
may hold their courts separately in their
offices will become law.
Justice Patterson was the first to conceive
the idea of changing the existing law, which
requires that both the justice and the ex-
orttcio Justice shall hold court at the same
tune and at the same place-that place
to be selected by the justice of the
peace. This resulted in great Inconvenience
all around. Whenever the officers each
have a jury and number of witnesses, the
courtroom Is generally full. and the JUS
tices and the attorneys are pushed out on
the edge. In addition to this, the ex-officio
justices have met with considerable incon-
venience in having to collect their papers,
ETC., and move to the place chosen by the
justice of the peace for holding court.
Justice Patterson is in receipt of letters
from Representatives Reilly and Clifton,
pledging the bill their support and express
ing the belief that the bill will go through
all right.
BY the passage of the bill. justices and
ex-officio justices of the peace will be placed
upon an equal footing. The former is
elected by the people, and the latter is rec
commended by the grand jury, appointed by
the Judge OF the superior court, and COM
missioned by the governor. Both, however,
have about the same prerogatives and juris-
