NEW FAD IN STAMPS.
Collectors Watching for Water
Marks of New Issues.

Stamp collectors are about the
only people interested in the new
stamp that the government is print
ing. These stamps do not differ
from others in design. The differ
ence is in the paper. Watermark-
ed paper is now being used for the
first time in the postal history of
the United States in the printing of
the postage stamps.
1t has been generally acknow-
lodged that the engraving used in
connection with the printing of the
stamps of this country has been
some of the finest ever produced,
and upon this fact the department
has largely relied to prevent coun-
terfeiting. Since the transfer of
the contract for printing to the
United States Bureau of Engraving
and Printing has been made, how
ever, the printing has been inferior
TO that done by the former contrac-
tors, and it is believed that this
fact led to the recent attempt in
Canada to counterfeit the current
two-cent stamps. Never before had
such an attempt been made, and
the adoption of watermarked paper
is believed to have been induced by
the desire to add further difficulty
to any repetition of the fraud. The
watermark consists of the letters
.'U. S. P. s." in large capitals, one
letter appearing in each stamp.
This innovation is a matter of
great interest to collectors, because
virtually another new issue has
been created, and owing to the COM
paratively short time that the
bureau printed its product on I'M
watermarked paper some of the de-
nominations Of the latter are GER
tain to become rare.-New York
Press.
