California Is Widely Celebrated, but Lit
tie Known.
In the first place, California is known
not by what millions of people have
seen, but by what millions have read.
Europe is better known by contact to
Americans than California. A promi-
nent American author recently "discov-
cred" California and filled the newspa-
pers with the interesting and suggestive
impressions it had made upon his mind.
He had been to Europe 90 times and to
the Pacific coast once, which is once Of
tener than many other distinguished
travellers of the eastern seaboard. Still
further, the Anglo-Saxon race is dealing
with new conditions in California.
Coming from dense forests, from land
Of heavy rainfall and from temperate
climate, where winters are long and
stern, it settled in treeless deserts, in a
land of slight and peculiar rainfall and
under sky that never knows the win
ter. Finally California is in its infancy.

and purified by the extraordinary proc

farreaohing changes have swept through
the industrial and social life of the state,
swiftly altering the conditions of labor
and Of business. Even for those living
in the midst of these events it has been
difficult to read their significance and
estimate their influence on the ultimate
character of the place and people. What
wonder, then, that to the outside world
California has meantime appeared like
jumble of gold, palms and oranges.

Try IL YOURSELF.

A very curious fact is the impossi-
hility of moving your eye while exam.
ming the reflection of that organ in a
mirror. 1t is really the most movable
part of the face; yet, If you hold your
head fixed and try to move your eye
while watching 1t, you cannot do it
even the one-thousandth of an inch.
OF course, If you look at the reflection
of the nose, or any other part of the
face, your eye must move to see 1t.
But the strange thing is that the mo.
ment you endeavor to perceive the mo.

reasons why persons expression as

Great skill Shown.

The recent arrest of the ringleaders
of regular check-raising and forging
syndicates has been a revelation to the
has made generally known a state Of
affairs which bankers and secret-ser-
vice men have been aware of for many
years.
The Government offered reward
many years ago for writing ink which
could not be removed by acids or other
chemicals. There were hundreds of
inks offered and not one of them met
the requirement Those that actually
were indelible were worthless for writ
ing and would not flow, while the best
of those that would flow We're only in
dellble when allowed to lie long time
on porous paper.
What is true as to ink is true as to the
thousand and one mechanical devices
for protecting commercial paper which
have been put upon the market. There
are four or five firms in New York alone
which have made from million to four
million dollars each by the manufacture
and sale of articles of this kind, not one
of which but has been "beaten" scores
of times, and not one of which is of
the slightest value except as against
the efforts of the merest tyros in the
check-raising industry.
So profitable has become tie forging
and check-raising industry that capi-
taliZed syndicates-such as the Nalen-
tine gang or the Becker gang-have de-
liberately engaged in it and have stolen
great sums in an Incredibly short time.
Carelessness in making out checks is,
of course, a fruitful source of crime, as
in many instances the possibility of
making a safe alteration is glaringly be-
fore the eye. The temptation has
brought many a young man to ruin, but
the losses from this source are trifling
compared with those from the regular
professional check-raisers. These gen
try have an equipment of tools and
chemicals as complete in their way as
the tools used by burglars, and the
manufacture of these articles, especial
ly for criminal purposes, is quite as eX-
tensive as Is the manufacture of burg
lars tools. The outfit consists of three
or four kinds of acids for removing ink !;
all the various cutting machines used
for cutting out figures in the body of
the check, a device at one time suppos-
ed to be invulnerablc. but one of the
easiest of all to beat; a complete supply
of twenty different kinds of delicate
brushes and palette of artists colors.
These colors and brushes are used to
restore the lines in tinted paper after
the tint has been taken out by the acid
in removing the ink. Great sums of
money, by the way, have been spent in
the manufacture of this tinted paper
money entirely thrown away, as the
knaves have processes which restore
the tint wherever their operations may
have destroyed 1t, and restoring it so
perfectly as to utterly defy detection.
The nippers are used especially to
beat the figures out of the check or
draft by the various machines made for
that purpose. With the nippers which
are curiously and dellcately pointed. the
minutest particle of paper can be picked
up and deftly handled. The width of
