THE idea of bloodhound always
carries with it an idea of cruelty.
This is erroneous. Blood-hounds are
not as rule cruel They are simply
trained to a blood scent Their mission
is to track fugitive, not to injure.
The escaping convicts of the south are
rarely, if ever, torn or injured by the
pursuing hounds. If injury be inflicted
it is inflicted by the men who follow
the hounds.

DESTROYING THE CURRENCY.
How Mutilated Money Is Disposed of and
the Circulating Medium Renewed.

How Mutilated Money Is Disposed of and
the Circulating Medium Renewed.
Nearly every worling-dsy in the
year, at about two O'clock in the after
noon queer procession may be seen
threading its way through certain dark
corridors of the United States treasury
building. The procession starts from
the Redemption division of the office of
the controller of the currency, proceeds
down the long corridor to the south
west fight of stairs and then descends
to the sub-basement Then it marches
along another corridor short distance,
and suddenly turns into large room,
in which is steam engine and huge
iron tank.
This procession represents all the au-
thority of the National Bank Redemp-
ton agency. The room in which it
comes to halt contains the machinery
for the destruction of worn and mutt
lated currency.
The tank referred to is in reality
big steel reservoir into which steam is
introduced, 1t is provided with grind
ing apparatus, and is called macer-
alter. Previous to the arrival of the
procession the machine has been tested
by the engineer in charge. An engine
of about thirty horsepower is required
to operate it. When the boxes are
brought into the destruction ROOM the
agents of the government and the
banks each produce key, which Is in
serted in lock connecting with the
macerater. After all the keys have
performed their duties the macerater is
opened. Then lot of red tape is un-
wound from the treasure boxes, and
the man who carried them from the re-
demption division lifts them one after
| another and dumps their contents into
the reservoir. As soon as the last pack
age of bills has left the box the cover
to the macerater is relocked, the engi-
neer starts his engine, and the huge
grinders begin to perform their task.
1t must not be supposed for a moment
that the money thus destroyed is lost
to circulation. When national bank
dispatches mutilated currency to the
treasurer of the United States check
is Immediately sent by him to the bank,
representing the sum received. When
the destruction of the mutilated bills is
complete, new sheets are issued from
the controllers office and forwarded to
the bank. In this way the national
bank currency of the country is kept
omparatively clean.-N. Y. Times.

Insects and Islands.

1t has been noticed that the insects
inhabiting islands had either very
short wings, of little use for flying, or
no wings at all. This adaptation keeps
them in existence, for If they had wings
which permitted them to fly any dis
lance a strong wind would most likely
carry them out to sea, there to perish.
The fact is that the long-winged in
sects which inhabited the island when
it was first separated from the main
land have been carried out to sea and
have persisted Those with the shortest
wings survived, and transmitted their
short wings to the next generation So
on for centuries, nature ruthlessly
wedding out those with wings, until
only those without these appendages
remained. Youths Journal.
