THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

On the 9th of last July the Bank Of
England reached its 200th birthday. II
is the greatest bank in the world.
In its early days the bank employed
fifty-four clerks and the yearly salary
list amounted to but little over 100000,
the chief accountant receiving 81 ,225 a
year. At the present time the number
of employees is 1900.
No note of the 10000 OF so issued
daily is ever used again. Each note as
1t is paid in is cancelled and an account

they be paid On being refused he went
to the exchange and raised such an out

that the bank called him back and paid
him the full amount of the stolen notes.
Another time one of the directors de-
posted S130.OOO and took single note.

West, at fort near Denver, the gov
ernment has balloon in the course of
construction which is to be used as an
aid in war. The shape is that of an
ordinary balloon, but drag-rope will
connect 1t with the ground. 1t will
be to watch the enemy's movements,
study the disposition and strength OF
his forces. to make photographs Of the
field and get all Information possible.
An instrument called the telephone

and by means of the wire, a conversa-
ltlon can be carried on between the oc-
cuvants of the basket and the general

the balloon has started up, the officer
on the wheel rushes to the tent OF the
General and the telephone wire Is car

reached This work makes direct COM
munication between the officers on the
field and the man In the air, who from
his station has a complete view of the
enemy and can thus give important in
formation to his superiors. The Gen
eral commanding thus gives his orders
from absolute knowledge of the enemy's
strength. and the disposition of his
men. This will be of incalculable value
to the mode Of fighting in the future
The balloon, of course, is not designed
to fight, but to be a Watchdog and keep
sharp eye on the enemy. In the event
of shot from the foe, the balloon would
be so high up as to make its effect un-
certain. But even II it were struck

which would enable the officers to de-
scend safely into their own camp. This
parachute is part OF the silken web Of
the balloon-woven into the top so that
1t is always spread and ready for action
Should shot pierce the bag the silk
would collapse, but the upper frame
which is already parachute, would
simply let the car slowly down to the
earth. The French Government is said
to have fine balloon built for use in
war 1t is kept in large garden, and
no one is allowed to see 1t, nor has any
drawing been made or photograph

1t is expected that 1t will be on exhibi-
tion in the coming Worlds Fair in
Paris. The French balloon is said to be
a cigar-shaped envelope, within which
is the gas and small bag, which is to
be pumped full Of air. An electric
motor drives in the rear a screw pro-

An Old Clergyman.

Years ago there lived in Connecticut
an old minister who was quite cele-
brated for his wit. Many of his sayings
have been preserved and handed down
from father to son.
In meeting of ministers one day a
sermon was read and, according to Gus
tom, criticised. 1t had been read in the
old, well-known sing song tone. One
minister objected to the tone of the SER
mon and another found fault with some
thing else. The old doctor sat quiet
ly in his corner until his turn to speak
came.
"If you take away the tone" he said,
dryly, ''it seems TO me there would be
little left"
While travelling in the western coun-
try he learned to shave without the aid
Of mirror. Long afterward, while at
tending some gathering of ministers, he
got up early and was discovered by his
friend standing face to n blank wall to
perfom the act of shaving, although
| there was Il good mirror in the room.
In answer to his friends surprised ques.
ton he said he had not used a looking
glass for thirty years.
1.-The last time l looked in one he
said, with n curious drawing in of the
corners of his mouth that always accom-
panied a joke, 81 got so little encourage
ment thought l wouldn't try ii again."
He did not generally enjoy having a
joke turned on himself, but sometimes
he fully appreciated 1t. One day n
shiftless neighbor called and asked if
he had a whcclbarrow.
YES" replied the clergyman, "but
| don't lend it"
"Well," said the neighbor, promptly,
"did l ask for it,
This pleased the old minister so much
that the neighbor presently departed
| trundling the cherished wheelbarrow
with the old mans full consent.
