GRINDING OUT MONEY.

a Little Machine Which Is Giving Wash

Tie treasury officials are having lot
G. fun nowadays with a little machine
Which is 50 arranged that it has the ap-
pcarance of grinding out paper money

GcniOus arrangement, which apparent
" consists of two steel rollers, it re-
cCivcs on one side of the rollers a slip
of brown paper and rolls out at the
other side a printed and in every way
complete treasury note, The secret of
il is that these notes are put in the ma
chine and the rolling is begun, and the
brown paper is carefully slowed away in
ai!e one of the rollers, while the treasury
notes are ground out from their secret
reservoir, where they have been pre-
viouSly stored. The deception, however,
is SO complete that to the average indi-
vidual it looks as though the slip of pa

FTPTUEE REPORTS From INDIANA.

Our first impulse upon noting another occur
renee in the State of Indiana was 10 transfer il
10 Ohio or Michigan, but second thought tells us
that this would not lie right. There is nothing
SO beautiful as truth. and though Indiana has had
vastly more than her share OF incidents Of public
value lately, we feel that we ought not 70 say
that ANYTHING which happened there took place
elsewhere But hope that this will be
the last that we shall hear from Indiana for some
time: many other States, notably Maryland and
Oregon, are long overdue. and even Minnesota,
with her wonderfully ingenious men of Minneapolis,
has not been heard from for n long while

diana incident. There is trouble there between
the Reverend Mr.. Van Ccayc and Deacon Adams
of his church. Nearly the whole congregation is
backing up Deacon Adams. Last Sunday the
Reverend Mr.. Van Clcavc preached a strong ser

on the sins OF the members of his own church. al

system Of swapping horses which prevails at

deacon himself and that aftcrward he had dis
covered that the siX-year-od teeth in the mouth
of the horse were false, and that the white hairs
around the eyes had been touched up with char
coal and fictitious life put into his limbs with New
England rum. The preacher called upon the
deacon 70 deny these charges. The deacon re-

A novel suggestion is made by Henry sedley
on another page respecting American policy IN
the South Seas. This points to the occupation
OF Juan Fernandez by the American Govern
ment in the event of the outbreak of hostilities
with Chill. The island is described in the article
with Mr.. Sedleys wel-known charm of literary
style, and the possibility OF its conversion into
South Sea Gibraltar is seriously discussed on the
strength of personal observations. 1t would be
premature to argue the adaptablity OF the island
to the requirements of naval base for opera,
tions against Chill but it is almost needless tc
add that IL the controversies with that country
are not amicably adjusted, as we earnestly hope
that they will be, the strategic Importance Of
the island will not be very great. If war be
necessary base will have to be secured or
CHILEAN soil. The coal district OF Lota would
be a much more available base for military anC
naval operations.

It is earnestly to be hoped that the improved
weather, of which we had sample yesterday,
will continue for some time to come. The
obituary columns Of the papers during the last
tbree or four weeks certainly indicate that such
improved weather is urgently needed. The
number of deaths, especially of the old and the
feeble, has been unprecedentedly large, and ii
il undoubtedly fact that the unreasonable
weather has been in great measure the indi-
rect cause Of most Of these deaths. The prom
inent place which the weather has in our thought
and conversation is often made the subject OF
iocose remark. But when we reflect how great
an influence it really has on our lives, we car
hardly be blamed for attaching so much i'm
portance to it, especially if we accept the the
DRY, put forth by some social philosophers tina
the American type Of character is largely the
product OF American weather
