GRINDING OUT MONEY.
A Little Machine Which Is Giving WASH
ington Officials Lots of Fun.

A Little Machine Which Is Giving Wash.
ington Officials Lots of Fun.
The treasury officials are having lot
of fun nowadays with a little machine
which is so arranged that it has the ap.
pearance of grinding out paper money
by simply turning a crank. BY an in.
genious arrangement, which apparent
ly consists of two steel rollers, it re.
ceives on one side of the rollers slip
of brown paper and rolls out at the
other side a printed and in every way
complete treasury note. The secret of
it is that these notes are put in the ma
chine and the rolling is begun, and the
brown paper is carefully slowed away in
side 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
per rolled in on one end actually came
out brand new treasury note on the
other side.
~ never saw man SO thoroughly
fooled and excited" said a treasury Of
fetal, as he exhibited the little machine
on his desk, ''as was one of our secret
service men the other day. His eyes
fairly popped out when he saw it
Great Heavensp he said, this is the
most dangerous thing that ever saw.
Why, it ought to be suppressed at once.
There is no telling what quantities of
money may be printed with it, and the
imitation is absolutely perfect. Why,
it even changes the number He took
up bill after bill that it had ground out
before his eyes. The other officials who
were in the secret were holding their
sides and ready to explode with
laughter, as he went on examining the
notes as they were ground out one after
another, and it was not until he visited
New York some days afterwards and
brought the matter to the attention of
men there that he was undeceived."
The department is in receipt Of numer-
GUS letters calling attention to this
machine, carefully discussing the great
danger in permitting the existence Of q
machine which so easily produces such
exact representations of treasury notes.

Russian Customs.

In Russia child ten years of age
cannot go away from home to school
without passport. Servants and peas
ants cannot go away from where they
live without passport. A gentleman
residing at st. Petersburg or Moscow
cannot receive the visit of friend who
remains many hours without notifying
the police of his arrival, as the case
may be. The portsrs of all houses are
compelled to make returns of the ar
rival and departure of strangers. And
for every one OF the above passports y
charge is made of some kind.

1t Is Now Known That Every Fish Knows
Its Own River and Particular Pool.
In their journey up the streams the
first run of fish push on rapidly to the
upper pools and head waters, one hun
dred miles or more, unless prevented
by insurmountable falls, with which
most of the Labrador streams are we'll
provided. Here fish have been caught
sixty miles above the estuary before
one has been taken in tidal water.
Some of the former remain in the lower
pools and are joined by others as the
run progresses.
Why is this? Have the fish any re-
membrancc of where they spent their
youthful days, and remain there while
others pass them?
1t is now received as an undoubtcd
fact that every fish knows its own
river, but go further than that, and
think every fish has particular place
in the river where it wishes to remain,
says the American Angler. Were all
the salmon in the Restigouche to push
on to its head waters, would not the
greater portion of the river be barren?
The turmoil of spawning time On tho
restricted spawn beds, the turning over
OF the newly'laid ova, could oaly end in
wholesale destruction. Even under
present conditions l am satisfied not
over ten per cent. of the eggs deposited
naturally ever come to life.
AS to the speed with whic,l they
travel at times have caught two sal
mon with partly-digested caplin in
them quite recognizable, and these fish
were caught sixty miles above where
the caplin is known to come.

What is Russian p-ince?" asks a
correspondent of Free Russia There
are two classes OF princes in Russia
The one class form part OF tho real
of the country. enjoying
the advantages of immense wealth,
and often diseharging high civil or
military functions in the state. The
other class is made up of what are
known as 'thinned-out' princes (zak-
hudalIye knyazya), persons without
either landed property or Independent
income. Foreigners tend. in their
ignorance of Russian affairs to con-
fer upon the latter class the rank Of
the former yet the 'thinned-out'
princes are not only not aristocrats,
but are to be found gaining their live
lihood like other common Russian
mortals as agents clerks tradesmen
and sea captains. etc.

THE MISSIONARY.
1t Is By That Name That the African,
Designate Strong Drink.


As stated by the bishop of London.
says the Fortnightly Review. it is a
positive fact that in one place in
Africa the Christians are building a
mosque rather than a church, be-
cause the Mohammedans do not bring
drink with them. whereas an increased
number OF Christians would mean an
increase in the importation OF drink.
One OF the Mohammedan African
chiefs in praying for the suppression
of the liquor traffic created by US in
this country says: The natives
themselves do not want it; it is forbid
den by their laws. but they are forced
to break those laws by you English.
You are deteriorating our people and
destroying whole races Of them" He
pathetically implores she English
queen to stop sending her rum and
her gin to his people"
The very air of Africa reeks with
rum and gin imported by US: every
hut is redolent of its fumes Gin bot
ties and boxes meet the eye at every
step and in some places the wealth
and Importance of the various vii
lagos are measured by the size OF the
pyramids Of empty gin bottles which
they erect and worship. Over large
areas drink is almost the sole curren cy
and in many parts the years wages
OF the negro factory are paid
altogether in spirits.
The steamer in which l recently re-
turned from West Africa brought
home with her a cargo of rubber
palm oil. ivory gold and other rich
products she had obtained in exchange
for a compound called rum and gin
bartered at the rate OF rum nine
pence per gallon and gin two shilliugs
and six pence per dozen pint bottles.
This so called rum and gin is known
to the natives as the missionary"
The introduction OF this missionary
into peaceful villages transforms them
into hades peopled by brutalizcd hui
man beings whose punishment is to be
possessed Of a never ending thirst for
more missionary. The chastity Of
women becomes a virtue OF the past. |
They follow one about with scarcely |
a rag on their besotted persons cry
ing for more gin. The wretched ma
tives having disposed of their cattle |
for drink. take to thieving for it,
and. being caught are sometimes
logged to death by our governmet
officials.
