always uses prod to ascertain its depth.
No one knows better than smuggler the
fact that rays of light passing through water

Sometimes the searchers expect to find
smuggling done by false bottoms in cans,
sometimes by false heels or soles for Chin

concealed in the vessels fire-room or hold.
The amount of opium seized, which is a
great proportion of the smuggled drug, is
much larger than one would suppose Dur
ing the decade from 1880 to 1890 there was
20,646A pounds of prepared and 1850 OF
crude opium seized. The duties on the pre-
pared drug should have been S19S, ,420 and on
the crude S1050, or nearly 100000 in all, out
of which it was intended TO dcfraud the
Government. Other seizures consist of jap

mo; there are very few attempts at
smuggling through the mails, II any. Peo-
pie have a notion that the postal service Is
or should be an express service, and try to
send large and bulky articles through the
mails. This is especially true with resi-
dents of other countries, who often send
dutiable articles into this country. Because
they are free of duty in their country each
one imagines they must be free in this, and

DEVICES OF THE TRADE.

ChlneSe steamers more than Others"
DEVICES OF THE TRADE.
Through the courtesy of Surveyor Paris
Kilbnrn, the many devices for smuggling
were brought from among the Custom-house
curloS, seized during the last quarter of
century, and stored away TO show the man
who trusts In human nature" that many
are the means adopted to defraud. These
devices are simplicity itself, else they would
betray the end to which they were intended
Perhaps it is only lime with slight dis
celoration at one end that falls into search
er's hand as he runs his arm into a basket
of fruit. II so, it will pay him to inyesti-
gate the dIscolorati0n, as the lime may be
filled with opium, as lines have often been.
1t was favorite mode of smuggling at one
time with the MOngolians, but when the
custom officials learned of the trick they
closely inspected all Chinese fruit and put
stop to smuggling by that means. That
is Chinese smuggling unntuenced by the
doubtful sagacity of the native smugglers
They used natural objects to serve as re-
ceptscles until the "whte devils" took a
hand and made manufactured articles serve
instead.
in STEAM CHEST.
"Here is steam chest plate that might
be termed the ne plus ultra of Devices"
said one of the employees, as he exhibited a
solid square plate of steel studded with
stout bolt heads you will notice that all
the bolts, with the exception of three are
through the plate to make it appear as
though it was bolted to stay. When the
searchers boarded the China several months
ago they knew opium was aboard and were
bound to find it. They hunted everywhere.
The steam chest was the first object to at
tract their attention and they tried to re-
move the head. The plate was, to all ap-
pearances very old, and after working time
after time trying 10 remove the head, one OF
the three genuine bolts were found and
came ont. Another holt WAS witbd ~
and then the plate could be moved around,
the third bolt acting as a center. This last
bolt was unscrewed and the plate fell to
the floor, the fraud was exposed and
about sixty five-tael boxes of opium
found slowed away in the chest.
PLACES OF CoNCEALMENT.
Another means adopted by the white
smugglers, who, by the way, are nearly al
ways connected with the vessel in some ca
pacity, is to hide the drug under the furnace
floor or in the ashes, and they have been
known to have it in buckets with false bot
