 HARTFORD, May This morning another batch of the thirty eight untried liquor cases in New Britain was to have been called in the police court for trial but neither side was ready and adjourn ment was taken to Thursday morning Doubt is expressed that the cases will evel be tried. Judge Roche's statement in ac quitting the four dealers of the forty-twe original cases, that he did not believe the tertimony of the Law and Order Leagues detectives, renders 1t doubtful that any conviction can be secured. All the cases depend upon "spotters'" evidence.

BANK OF ENGLAND PAPER.
It's Unique Qualities and Wonderful
Water Marks.
From the Cornhill Magazine.

From the Cornhill Magazine.
The paper alone is remarkable in many
ways-notably for its unique whiteness and
the peculiar feel of crispness; while its
combined thinness and transparency are
qua IDS against two once very popular modes
of forgary--the washing out of the printing
by means Of turpentine, and erasure with
the knife.
The wire mark, or water-mark, is another
precaution against counterfeitng, and is
produced in the paper while it is in state
of pulp. In the old manufacture Of bank
notes this water-n ark was caused by an
enormous number of wires lover 1000
stitched and sewed together; now it is en-
graved in a steel-faced die, which is after
ward hardened, and is then applied as a
punch to stamp the pattern out of plates of
sheet-brass. The shading of the letters of
this water-mark further increases the diff
Guilty of imitation. The paper is made en-
tirely from new white linen cuttings-never
from anything that has been worn-and the
toughness of 1t may be roughly estipated
from the fact that single bank noteswill,
when unsized, support a weight of thirty-six
pounds. The paper is produced in pieces
large enough for two notes, each of which
exactly measures inches by inches, and
weighs eighteen grains before 1t is sized,
and 50 carefully are the notes prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp made
by each workman Is registered on Z dial by
machinery
England note is not of the same thickness
all through. In point of fact, the paper Is
thicker in the left-hand corner to enable 1t
to retain a keener impression of the Wig
nette there, and 1t is also considerably
thicker in the dark shadows of the center
letters and beneath the figures at the ends.
Counterfeit notes are invariably of one
thickness only, throughout.

FAR BETTER THAN VOLAPUK.
Progress of the English Tongues as
the Universal Language.

the Universal Language.
From the Los Angeles Times.
Some years ago there was much interest
taken IN the proposal to create a universal
language, and teachers of Volapuk, as 1t
vas called, were to be found everywhere.
1t was a short-lived experiment. and one
hears little or nothing of it nowadays. 1t
locks as If English would, before long, be-
come the universal language. Few of us
appreciate how rapidly the use of English
is spreading throughout the world.
Three hundred years ago 1t was used by
less than 3,OOO,OO0 people; today 1T is en-
ployed by more than 115,0OO,OO0 people in
every quarter Of the globe, and is continu-
ally broadening. In the United States alone
II is spoken by $4,000, 600 people, and in the
British islands by 100000 Canada num-
bers 1900, 900 followers, besides the French
Canadians who use 1t with more or less
fuency. II, the English-speaking countries
people; 100000 use 1t in Australia, and
$500, 900 in South Africa, India and other
colonies. The vast total of 115.OOO,OOO rep
resents not people of foreign lands who
speak English, but only those to whom 1t
is the mother tongue. 1t is estimated that
English speakers Increase about 100000
each year, a progress not equaled by any
other language of modern times. The 5000,
600 people who three centuries ago used the
language lived, for the most part, in the
British isles; now it is familiar on every
continent.
