Detecting Changes on Paper.

Some interesting researches on a
method of detecting changes on written
documents have been communicated
to the Paris Academy of Medicine by
NJ. g. Bruylants 1t is shown that
when paper sized and calendered is
partially moistened, then. after drying.
subjected to the action of iodine vapor.
the parts which have been wet assume
violet tint. while those which have
escaped water grow yellow or brown.
The intensity of the coloration varies
with the time of exposure to the iodine.
Places where water has previously
fallen and dried may still be detected
after the paper is completely saturated
with wafer. the parts which were first
wet being turned an intense violet blue
by the iodine, while the other parts be-
come blue. Even rubbings, such as
those which are made by bread crumbs
and elude discovery by other methods,
are clearly brought out by iodine vaper,
and erased tracings of a soft pencil are
made legible.
The certainty of the results depends
much upon the quality of the paper
and the eldpse of time. irregular wet

How the Treasury Is Guarded.

The treasury watch Is composed Of
seventy veteran soldiers, who are cut
into three squads, dividing every TWEEN
tyfour hours into three equal watches
of eight hours each. The men wear no
uniforms, and would not impress the
casual visitor to the treasury during the
hours when the public is admitted.
The guards go una1ned during the day,
but at night carry n large 42-caliber six
chainbered revolver, which is too large
to be concealed in q pocket and must
be carried in the hands all the time
Every one who passes the treasury at
night may see pacing to and fro in the
lofty area between the granite pillars
and the wall of the building solitary
figures.
A person cannot approach within a
hundred feet of the building without
seeing a guard. Such watchman.
silent and martial in bearing, guards
each of the four entrances to the treas
ury. The guards who traverse the cor
ridors at stated intervals touch electric
buttons to announce their presence in
certain parts of the building All this
system of interior watchfulness was the
work of Secretary Folger, who during
his term in Office lived in constant dread
of an attack on the treasury.

n Gave Him Courage.

A commercial traveller tells the story
of himself. 1t was in his early travel
ing days; in fact, he had been taken
out of the Office to make his first trip
on the route of the regular traveller,
who was sick He visited two or three
cities on his route, not meeting with
much success, which he attributed to
the fact that two OF three other sales
men carrying the same line of goods
were Just ahead of him.
Being afraid the house would be dis
satisfied, and a little doubtful of his
own abilities, he telegraphed his en-
ployer: "Better call me in. There are
three rival statesmen ahead of me-"
Instead of calling him in the head of
the house telegraphed: Push ahead.
There are hundred other fellows be-
hind you."
So he went ahead, satisfied that he
could at least hold his own with the
fellows that were behind, with the re-
suit that he made such good trip that
he was kept on the road and his salary
increased.
He said that the idea that there was
lot of fellows following served to
stimulate him, and he determined to
go ahead and push things to the best
Of his ability, and he succeeded.-Jew-
ekers' ReUieaO.

What a Pallinm Ia.

The pallium is white wooden band
about two inches wide and long enough
to be worn around the shoulders and
be crossed in front. 1t is made at
Rome from the wool of two lambs
which the sisterhood of Santa Agnese
offer every year on the occasion of the
feast of their patron saint, while the
Agnus Del is sung at mass. The pal
lium has crosses worked upon the white
wool in black, and ornaments are at
tached to the ends.
It is sent by the pope to every newly
appointed archbishop, and the origin
of its use for this purpose dates back
to.a very early time in the history OF
the church. 1t is mentioned in an ec-
clesiastical document of the time OF
Pope st. Mark, who died in the year
1856, and an Eighth century mosaic rep
resents Pope st. Leo in the act of re-
ceiving a pallinm.-Milwaukee Wiscon-
