MAKERS OF BOGUS MONEY.
The Business of Raising" the Paper
Currency Increased.


The annual report of W. r. Hazen, chief OF
the Secret Service, states that the counter
feiting OF paper money has considerably de-
creased during the past year. This can in
part be- accounted for by the large increase
In "raised' or catered" notes. some OF
which are most skilfully executed. He ut
tributes the facility with which the public
are deceived by raised notes to the frequent
changes OF the designs OF United States
notes, which make 1t impossible for the pub
lie to become familiar with the currency. II
is also plain that the distinctive paper in use
is an aid to the criminal rather than pro-
lection to the public, because note printed
upon paper containing silk threads (as u
number OF the best counterfelts and all of the
raised notes are) IL accepted In majority Of
instances without hesitation, owing to the
erroneous impression that tho paper used by
the government is manufactured by q secret
process and cannot be counterfeited. He has
also become convinced that the introduce
tion of silk into the paper tends to lessen its
wearing quality, and is therefore RESPONSE
BILE for its short life.
The counterfeitlng OF gold and silver coins
has been on the increase. Some counterfeits
OF silver coins have appeared on the Pacific
coast that are quite MS good as the genuine,
both In weight and flneness. and made from
dies OF excellent workmanship.

MAN GIVEN A DOGS NERVE.
Remarkable Surgical Operation Performed
in Detroit Hospital.

A successful operation was performed on
n. Graybiel OF Caledonia in tho Butterworth
hospital at Detroit, Mich, which is believed
to be- without a parallel In the history OF
surgery. Six months ago Graybiel had his
right hand fearfully mutilated at the wrist
on saw. The ulnar and median nerves
were nearly severed, ana so badly torn that
the hand was paralyzed. Last month he
came here for treatment and DIR. II. Peterson
on October 25 undertook the task OF remov-
ing the lacerated portions OF the nerves and
transplanting therein the sciatic nerve from
a live spaniel. Graybiel and the spaniel were
placed under anaesthetics and an inch and
a half OF each OF the torn nerves cut of. The
ends were made square and the nerves from
the dog laid la the breach Silk sutures were
used TO hold the pieces together. Two or
three days ago Graybiel announced that feel
ing had returned to his hand, and now he Is
able to move the hand and fingers quite
freely, and full sensation had returned to the
injured member. The dog never recovered
from the anaesthetics. The doctors say that
ia q short time the hand will be Us strong as
ever and the man will suffer no inconven-
iencc.
