about six years ago embezzled about $4,000
by fabricating bank pass-book, by means OF
which he represented money paid into the
account which he had really pocketed. Per-
haps the word "fabricating'' is not clear. in.
asmuch as the cashier kept two pass books,
one of which he wrote up himself and pre-
ssnted to the merchant whenever he was re
quired TO do so. He also undercast the debit
and overcast the credit side Of his cash-book
The methods were particularly clumsy, and
any kind of examination would have I'M
mediately exposed them.
The case of an insurance company's loss
through fraud on the part of very trusted
cashier is noteworthy on account of the in
genuity displayed. and the comparative sue
cess achieved. The plan in question was
carried ON for upward of six years in the face
Of a continuous audit during the same period.
Numerous CHECKS were daily received from
other companies. and running accounts were
kept with some $50 highly reputable insurance
companies in New York and other cities. The
balances Of the various companies were
NEVER QUESTIONED
and every month there were shown on a pre-
pared statement the debit balance against
each Of the companies whose practice II was
to reinsure their surplus risks with the de-
frauded company. Moreover. to verify con-
stantlv those balances would have entaled
an enormous amount OF work.
Even If statements had been sent out at
given time perhaps not in one instance would
the figures OF the reinsuring OF defrauded
company have agreed with the figures shcwn
as balance by the ceding company. inasmuch
as the premiums reinsurances would not
have been credited to the re.nsuring company
until advice had been given to the ceding COM
pany that particular risks had been accepted.
Thus at any given point the balance on the
books Of the two companies would not have
been found to be the same. To reconcile the
balances IL would have been found necessary
for the auditors to examine the books OF the
ceding companies well as those of the COM
pany with which the risk had been placed.
This would have been almost impracticable.
To the insurance community the term "re-
turn premiums" is well known. and the
cashier on the first day of every month was
allowed to draw, say, $500, to cover such
small payments as petty cash and return pre-.
miums, and small items Of commission dur
ing the month.
Whatever balance remained on hand out OF
the $500 at the end OF the month was to be
paid into the bank with the ordinary deposit
For six years this balance was not paid in
though it was clearly shown as deposited the
last day of the month on the back of the stubs
in the check book.
To illustrate how cunningy the theft was
| perpetrated. diagrams are given. The first
represents the back OF the stubs OF the check
book, which was the only part the deposit

Sin ~ Pink, Not scarlet.

Among the most interesting of the
scientific men who have made Phila-
delphia their home is DR.. Elmer Gates.
DR.. Gates was formerly connected
with the Bureau of Ethnology of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Not the least startling of DR.. Gates
conclusions is that one reached
through experiment to demonstrate
that scarlet is not the distinctive col
or of sin, and that the Bible expires
sion, though your sins be as scarlet"
is simply Il Rhetorical eXaggeration.
DR.. Gates has found in his study of
the brain that each definite emotion
produces chemical products in the
sccretiops and cXcretions which are
characteristic of these emotions.
The evil emotions produce, for ex-
ample, poisonous product, while
happy emotions produce ife-promot-
ing compounds. In other words
every emotional experience creates
brain structures, the refunctioning of
which reproduces it's characteristic
good and bad chemical products.
The perspiration, for example, he
found to contain different volatile
organic compounds under the in
fiuence of different emotions. These
products may be detected by chemic-
al analysis in the perspiration of an
individual. DR.. Gates has discovered
more than forty OF the bad and as
many of the good.
OF the chemical products which DR..
Gates has found that of guilt is the
worst. If a small quantity of the per.

conscious guilt be placed in glass

ingly, pink is apparently the charac-
teristic color of sin, not scarlet

Edison and the Kaiser.

While in Berlin he received an i'll
vitation to visit William the Warrior
in his palace, and on the appointed
day Il state carriage, gorgeous in
golden ornaments, drawn by six
horses and with outriders, called for
him. This display abashed the mod

he would reach the imperial palace in
his own way. He walked. When
he reached the designated place, the

Edison, nOwisc disappointed, re-
turned to his hotel, where shortly he
was waited upon by court official
conveying Williams regrets for the
mistake and a request that he would
visit the palace next day and bring
with him one Ofhis monographs. He
did so. Tho Emperor took him into
his private cabinet, no ono else being
present, carefully closed all the doors
and then besought him to take the
marvellous invention apart and explain
to him all it's workings. This was
done, and the inventor was invited to
attend court reception the next day,
and to bring the photograph with
him.
Upon this occasion the great Amer

with a brilliant throng Of MOBILES each

Sir William Rowan Hamilton, who

his undergraduate course he carried of

Hamilton and De We're were walking
together one day on road which was
overfowed here and there by river at
its side. They were conversing about
the transcendental philosophy, OF which
Hamilton was a great admirer, and De

philosopher would not observe the

to see the result. They walked straight

LONDON. Feb. 2.-Under the heading,
"a Canadian Wild Cat" the Statist
says: For long time past efforts have
been made to induce capitalists to
underwrite the proposed new issue of
bonds for railway to parallel the
Canadian Pacific from the coast to
Sault Ste Marie. Under the title Of
"The Atlantic and Lake Superior Rail-
way" it was intended to acquire a
small section Of road from Paspediac TO
Metapedia, and in the dim future con-
troll was to be secured OF the section Of
the Intercolonial railway that runs to
Quebec. and then the plan was to build
140 miles of road from opposite Quebec
to Montreal.
Soon the managing director, c. n
Armstrong, who. with the president,
has the audacity to issue statement
that the net earnings of the Atlantic &
Lake Superior can safely be estimated
at 1878 per mile, proposes to issue 81,
GOO, 900 twenty-year bonds. The serious
aspect of the affair which regards the
British investors is the prospectus refer
ence to guarantee, stating that the
Canadian government has agreed to as
sumo payment of the eDtlre interest Of
these bonds, the coupons to be Endorsed
accordingly.
ThereupoD the Stalist calls upon the
Canadian government for an explicit
declaration on the subject, and says:
