Of various rank, from acknowledgement

vate soldiers and cavalrymen. Still others
display the uniforms of our history, run.
ming back to the colonial period. There are
models of camps and barracks, and graphic
representations Of the operations of an
army in the field. An old ''army Office
wagon" shows the clerks at work at their
desks. Machines from tho arsenals show
how cartridges are made. A field farrier's
outfit suggests no end of trouble in put
ting shoes on the feet of the frisky govern.
ment mule. Many models show the work
Of the engineering corps Of the army In
constructing canals and breakwaters, i'm.
proving rivers and harbors.
In the exhibit Of the bureau of registry
(treasury Department. the visitor may see
specimens of all the bonds and paper
money issued by the government prior TO
the establishment of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing. Samples of the old
colonial bonds are given, and there are
government bonds which once passed cur
rent for money. Here may be seen the
original warrants drawn for payment Of
S15, 900 in the Geneva award case. The
first key, used to lock the vaults in the
United States treasury Is shown, and q
big, awkward thing 1t is. That was long
before the era OF time and combination

The bureau Of engraving and printing
has display which makes ones mouth

paper money issued by Uncle Sam, in de-
nominations from 81 up TO $4,000. Here
people who never expect to own n govern

and they may see also samples of the won
derful engraving process by which it was
produced.
In the field Of money the greatest display
IL that of the National museum, which
shows the coins Of the world. The collec-
tion is one of the most comprehensive in
existence, and is valued at n
fabulous sum. 1t includes not only
the coins of all nations and all ages,
going as far back as 500 B. c., but
the various substitutes for coins used in
various parts of the world by primitive
people. The most novel of these, perhaps,
are the bars of salt moulded into bricks
