DETECTION OF FORGERY
Signs OF Fraud Which Appear Only to
Trained Eyes.

A very curious fact about the philos-
ophy Of handwriting is this: That a man
never writes his name twice in the sane
way, or. in other words. one signature is
never a fac-simile Of any other. So that
if AN expert finds among some genuine
signatures one that corresponds in every
detail with a disputed signature-and
such a thing has happened several times
h. is absolutely certain ttirst that the
letter really is bogus; ana tsecondD that
he has before him the very model used
by the torger. All detectives of the ink
pot agree that the discovery of two sig
natures which. on being Superimposed
and held to the light, are identical. seem
as one. is a conclusive proof that there
has been tracing.
Such are the leading principles of the
expert : profession. How are they APP
piled? In some cases they are not APP
piled at all. The paper itself. the stamp
if there is one, may proclaim a document
TO be a forgery. Then the microscope
and other appliances will sometimes show
whether signature is fraudulent
SWindlers commonly write name in
pencil and then ink it over. If the expert
has reason to believe that this method
has been aCcepted--and il is not difficult
to detect because. for one thing! the sig
nature looks duller than the other writ
irg-he has only to put a drop OF acid on
one of the letters. and preStot the INK
disappears. revealing the glistcnng plum
bago beneath But it is practically i'm
possible to obtain by any mode of trac-
ing a sigu-manual that Will successfully
bear the closest scrutiny. In following
the model, whether that be fac-simile
in pencil or carbon. or ii genuine sigma
ture held to the light, the pen heSitates,
giving the writing a ZigZag appearance,
which. although not visible to the naked
eye. can be clearly seen with the aid of

YOUNG CHARTER OAK.
A Seeding Of the Famous Connecticut Tree

The famous old charter oak, of which
Connecticut is so proud, seems destined
to be kept in remembrance, not only
by the pages OF history. but through its
descendants. a few children anu
many grandchildren" of the original
tree are now growing in this and othef
states. AS is quite fitting, Hartford
possesses upon Bushnell park what is
believed to be the largest and most
thrifty seeding Of the charter oak
that has been placed upon public
ground This tree stands in the eE~
treme east part near Park river. oc-
cupying the centre of a triangle formed
by the junction of the walks leading
from the Trumbull street bridge and
the Mulberry street bridge and extend

Aside from its associations and sim
DIV as a handsome specimen OF the
Quercus alba, or white oak, famed Ill
all ages for it's strength and durability,
the tree is worthy of attention. The
tree has just completed fifty years of
growth, and gives promise OF continu-
ing for several hundred years. 1t now

SPAIN THROUGH NEUTRAL EYES.
Her Navy as Seen Under a London Spyqlass

What. then, one asks. are the chances
that. in the event of war, Spain would
he able either to avoid a great battle 1T
sea or to defeat the Americans if such
a battle took place? We believe the
FIRST alternative to be unlikely. If the
Spaniards go to war at all they must
place some reliance on the fighting
power of their fleet; they must know
they cannot hope forever to avoid a
general engagement.
But it is not by the number or the
weight of ships that the first battle OF
the war will be decided. Behind the
paper lists of vessels are the larger
questions of the spirit, the Seamanshlp,
the fighting qualities of the contendins
fleets. But. as whole, Ame,i-
can seamen spring from the same stock
as our own. and we have no evidence
for thinkinG-such evidence as we have
is all the other Way-that they lack the
qualities which have made British sea
men what they are. Now of Spanish
naval history the world does know
something, and all that it knows tells
heavily against Spain. In spite of Der
situation. in spite of her fine ports-3t
On the Atlantic and 50 on the Mediter-
ranean shores-Spain has never been
an effective naval power.
Even when her power and wealth
seemed irresistible. when her military
reputation was at its height. when the
world was streWn With her territories
and the ocean laden with her argoses
and fleets. her real naval power WAS

BERMUDA HOG MONEY.
The Curious History Of This Greatly Priced
Coinage,

Hog money is rather queer name tor
currency. is it not? Yet that is the name
hv which the brass money which began
to be struck in bermuda in lbla came to
be known. On one face Of it was hoS,
on the other ship of that period. They
are very rare and highly priced by col
lectors, says the Philadelphia inquirer
The history of this device is curious
and interesting. a Spanish vessel com
manded bv Juan BcrmudeZ, and ON its
way to cuba with a cargo of hogs, was
wrecked there. This was in 15lo. Later
in the same century, when th1 hiSlish
discovered this land. they found couh-
try inhabited by hogs.
1t is also interesting to note that tnc
English discovered it in the same way
as the Spaniards An English snip was
wrecked there. Is it any wonder thal the
treacherous coast got from the EngliSh
and Spanish alike the name OF DeNli 5

lened by the swelling buds of spring.
Inc authenticity of the tree as a true
descendant of the charter oak is be-
yond question, and all facts connected
| with it can be easily verified by any
one interested. It's history is as fol-
lows: In October, 1S47 Samuel Whit
man, well known citizen of West
Hartford, when a young man fresh
from Yale, and having a fondness for
botany, walked to the south part of the
city IN search of specimens of fringed
gehtlan Coming back he turned aside
at the WHY'S place and picked up sew

IN ls66 one of the trees, which had de-
veioped very finely. was offered by Mr..
whitman to the Park Board and gladly
accepted. Late in that year, not far from
December 81, the tree was carefully pre-
pared and moved to it's present place. I'M

Weidenman. landscape gardener. then
park superintendent. The other Seeding

but soon died.
Judge Sherman w. Adams and others
of the Park Commission have been much
interested in the tree, and it has re-
ceived the best of care. Last year it bore
a peck or more of acorns. but this year
the crop was less. These acorns are sent
to all parts of the country. and some siZ-
able grandchildren are now filling use
ful positions. 1t was Il Seeding from
this tree that was officially presented to
the city of Cleveland. Ohio. recently to be
placed upon one of the city parks.
