A TWO SIDED BILL.
It Created a Tremendous Sensation in the
TreasurY Department.

It Created Tremendous Sensation in the
Treasury Department..
There was received at the treasury
department one of the most peculiar
bank notes ever seen among the millions
upon millions of currency notes printed
by the government. 1t was $40 nocs
or $40 note, Just according to which
side was up, for by some remarkable
mistake the one side was printed with
the figures and devices of $50 bill,
while the other had all the figures and
devices of $40 bill.
The note was returned to the treas
ury by the cashier of the First Wash
ington National bank of Jersey City,
who sent it with a rather sarcastic note,
intimating that his bank was not going
into the freak business, and added thai
as the treasury had counted that bill
for $40 he would trouble them to send
him an ordinary 800 note. The affair
created a sensation, for no one had ever
seen such a wonderful note before
The matter was referred to the depart
ment of issue, from which the note had
been sent out to the Jersey City bank.
The mistake was promptly corrected
and an immediate investigation begun
The investigation was prosecuted
with vigor, and Gen. Meredith found
the cause of the trouble 1t seems that
the four notes printed on sheet are
Ill &c Io.0,,,fVoTfA,, Tl,,,.,
are always three of one kind and thu
fourth of another; thus, in this case
three tens and twenty. It was an
easy task to learn just when this bun
die had been printed, and by which
plate printers. They were examined
and it developed that one sheet of foul
notes, after having been printed on one
side, had fallen off the bundls to the
floor. The assistant who picked itup by
some unfortunate oversight turned the
sheet upside down when she placed il
on the bundle.
The rest is easily understood. This
sheet was printed on the second side
with 20-face on the reverse of ten,
and one of the three 10-face on the re-
verse of the one 20 of the steel. Hence
there were two go 20s" in the lot.
Thus the mistake was corrected. Butno
good explanation was offered, or can
be offered, why these two bills, passing
through score of hands, each one OF
whom is supposed to examine every bill
most carefully. should not have been
| discovered
Every person in the bureau who
! handles a note is held responsible in
the strictest way, and it is almost in
credible that none of these people
should have discovered the mistake
In the department of issue are not les
than six counters, whose business it has
been for years to count the notes be-.
fore issuing them to the banks. They
are considered the most expert counters
in the world, and yet all SIX of these
wonderful experts allowed such bill
to pass through their hands. No trace
has been found of the second hybrid,
so that it must be wandering around
the country. The two notes viii be
kept in the treasurer's Office as curios
ities.- Baltimore Sun

Nursed the Tramp and Loved Him.

An interesting story comes from Green
Ridge, in Robertson county, Tenn, in
which handsome young man and q
pretty girl figure as its leading spirits.
Last fall stalwart youth of about %
years made his appearance at the home
of a farmer in the suburbs of Green
Ridge and applied for work. He was a
tramp, with his worldly possessions in a
bundle slung across his shoulder, and
was hungry and footsore and eager for a
job. The farmer gave him a trial, and
being much pleased with his labor en-
ployed him regularly. In March the
young man fell sick with fever and for
two weeks was very i'll.
In the same village resided Essie Sulli-
van, who was pretty and attractive and
the daughter of merchant in good Cir
cumstances. She had seen the young
fellow a great many times, but had 40
acquaintance with him, as he was not
attentive to the ladies, but remained at
home and attended to his duties closely.
The young girl had doubtless been at
tracted by his personal appearance, for
when she learned of his sickness she be-
gan sending him flowers and then nice
things to eat At first she went no far
Their than the door, but was finally in
duced to enter the sick room to receive
his thanks.
As time wore on she grew holder and
prolonged her visits, and in the kindness
of her heart read to the afflicted youth.
Life was pleasant dream to them for
several weeks, and the rumor soon
spread that they would wed.
This report was confirmed Tuesday
when the young people went to Nash
vile and were married. The girl left a
note behind saying that she had eloped,
as she knew her parents would never
consent to her wedding common labor
er without home and unknown, but
that she loved him, and world ratSer
share poverty with him than live IN
ease and comfort without his protecting
love and care.
The girls parents were ignorant of the
attachment between their daughter and
the stranger, and were taken by surprise.
They are much distressed over the affair.

The Shot Indented rurret.

The monitor Saugus has in its turret
thirty-nine dents from round shot made
at Fcrt Fisher. The vessel has just been
condemned By board of naval officers
at Washington. 1t is to be sold for old
iron. This is quite right. The Saugus
is too small and too lightly armored for
modern warfare. She did her work well
in her time, but her day is over and no
special interest attaches to the vessel.
But turret, with thirty-nine shot dents
in it, won in action, ought not to go for
old iron. The government ought to keep
it. 1t ought to be set up at Annapolis.

E.porlm.n. with Ropes and wires.


Some interesting experiments have
been made by French engineer to as
certain definitely the strength, extensi.
bility and elasticity of round and fiat
ropes of hemp and aloe, and of iron
and steel wire. In these investigations
there were employed horizontal n.y.
draulic press and weighing apparatus
consisting of a steel yard and sliding
weight by which tension of $50, 0Ot
pounds could be recorded, and for
higher pressures a gauge on the body
Of the press was used. Specimens were
fastened by winding each end on a
grooved pulley of special construction,
the usual length of the specimens being
thirteen feet.
The result of all the tests gave foT
the average tensile strengths of ropes
the following: White hemp, 10, 500 to
II. 200 pounds per square inch; tarred
hemp, 200 to $500; white manila,
$500 to 10000; white aloes, $500 to
1000: fat tarred hemp and manila,
$500 to S,400 A factor of safety Of
four, or even three in some cases, Is
considered a safe rope. A rope of UNI
annealed wire has an ultimate strength
of about $1,000 pounds per square inch
of section of metal When annealed
the ultimate strength is reduced to
about $4,000 pounds; but the elonga-
ton is nearly doubled, being nearly Il
to Is per cent. in annealed wi;e. The
best wire ropes for mining purposes
have much higher tensile strength
