Making Bogus Coin in Prison.

The federal officials at indianapolis
have succeeded in getting at the prin-
cipal facts of the counterfeiting con-
spiracy of the Indiana State prison at
Jacksonville. The case is certainly
the most peculiar, and in some re-
spects the most astounding in the
known records of false coming in this
country. That convicts employed in
the prison shops, and supposed to be
under strict surveillance, could sue
cecd for three years in turning out
large amounts of counterfeit money
without detection, seems little short OF
miraculous. The convicts were not
alone in the business. The shops were
worked by private manufacturing
company, and one of the foremen Is
under arrest, charged with circulating
the spurious coin made by the prison
ers. But where were the prison off
cials all this time? A convict serving
his fifth term was the principal IMAM
ufacturer," but no doubt others were
associated with him. The money in
cluded dollars, halves, quarters, and
nickels, large numbers of which were
seized. The counterfeits are said to
be excellent limitations, the dollars
representing the issue of 1889, and
the nickels of 1898. No wonder the
amazing discoveries in the prison, as
the local papers put it, "caused tre-
mendous sensation. Boston Com

According to Professor McAdie, the

Royal Prussian Bureau of Statistics

thinking that he would rise early on
the following day and cut small ditch
to drain a pond. But great was his
surprise when the next morning he
found that the pond had been ditched
during the night.
On one occasion he got up shortly
after he had fallen asleep and putting

A Raft of Rats Drawn by Fire.

'It is an indisputable fact that fire
will draw rats, says Louis Simmonds

fire near the river bank in st. Louis

Piper of Hamelin, and, with the assis-
tance OF the flames, drove out of their
hiding places into the Mississippi as
many rats as did the NEUROLOGICAL
musician. While the water was
lighted by the reflection of the con-
migration, black mass was seen
floating toward the east shore of the
river. This proved to be some thou
sands of rats.
"They were hea led by their chief

fellow, and, finding their quarters at

river for selt-preservation. The cur
rent carried them considerable dis
tance out of their course, aud during
their passage some hundreds of them
were drowned. Spectators on the
bridge made bets on the race, but they
were all declared off, because on the
Illinois side there was no landing
place handy for the fatigued rats, and
as far as could be seen, with the ex-
ception of the fellows, the whole
bunch perished in the river. Kan

A UNIQUE POST.
Wonderful Skill Of a Woman in
Reading Illegible Addresses.
Employment in the Postoffice
Department at Washington.

Letters addressed illegibly or in
correctly, come to the postoffice de-
pnrtment at Washington by the mill
lion.
To the "live letter division" of the
department como oil letters of this
character. This division is in charge
OF woman. She has large force of
clerks. Under her the division has
grown from a mere adjunct to an i'm
portont and interesting field of labor,
and in the whole range of government
employment there is no other post
which is so unique and requires more
detective talent.
About 5000, 900 such letters are
yearly turned into this division, and
nearly every one gets to its destina-
tion, if there is the faintest clue on
which to work. A letter to be sent to
the detective division must be so il
legible or 50 curiously directed that
none of the clerks Mt the Post Office
from which it was sent can read it.
When it reaches Washington it is an
Egyptian puzzle, which no one seems
able to solve. But with her wonder
ful brain and her long course of train
ing, this woman is able to send letters
to destinations that one would never
dream were meant.
Once letter came addressed to
Bent Arroy. Neb but ms there was no
Office of that name in the State, she
sent it to Broken Bow, which is the
name of n small settlement. Another
missive was addressed to Goose Bay,
n. c., and returned as there was no
such place. The lady reasoned that
there was somewhere about that part
OF the country town OF some such
name and decided upon Duck Creek
as the one meant and she was right.
A third letter was addressed to Rat
Trap, Miss, and she sent it to its
rightful owner at Fox Trap in the
same state.
Some OF the most interesting letters
are preserved in drawer, which is
full of envelopes that have been de-
ciphered, received and sent back at the
request of the office. There is not one
among them that the average person
could read. For instance, here is one
in n cramped hand for Tigerfols, n. Y,
but no one would dream that Niagara
Falls was the place meant. Another
letter was to he sent to Chunkie City,
but Sandusky was the place meant.
knowledge was put on one envelope
which was meant for Norwich, but it
got to Its destination all right.
One of the most puzzling addresses
was one in the State of Furgoine. 1t
went the rounds of the Office, and at
last somo bright body tried pronounc-
Ing 1t rapidly, and 1t was then dis
covered that Virginia was the place
meant
Some witty person wrote his ad-
dress in short hand, but it was read
and delivered. One letter came from
New York that no one in this city
could make head or tail of. But this
woman puzzle reader decided that
what seemed but series of meaning
less scratches was meant for District
Attorney Nicoll. New York World.
