LOST NOTES.
Paper Money That Disappears 3
Source of Revenue.

source of Revenue.
London News: 1t is a fact, that to
many minds no doubt. must be curious,
that the Bank of England has always had
pretty steady source of profit IN the loss
and destruction Of Its bank notes. What
it has gained OF late years in this way
are unable to say. hui during a period
BIZ forty years preceding 1882 the bank
made a clear profit OF el.3s0.00 from
outstanding paper never likely to be pre-
scented for payment. When the d%estruc.
kion or the i~rrecoyerable loss of Ii note
can be proved. as In the event of a fire
or a wreck II can, the bank, of course.
will always pay the money! it represents;
and even when there Is doubt about ii
the cash is paid on security being given
Tor ~indemnifying the bank should the
note ever be presented. The e6O,0 worth
nf paper-or 10000, as It appears to have
been redueed to-taken from PARIS bank
The crisp little blllets have some day to
be duly honored at the Bank of England
counter. In that case the cash paid In
exchange for them will have to come out
Of the Golfers OF the plundered bank.
Many years ago O bank director lost a
note for 100000. But, being Il man of
credit. n as there was no doubt about
the loss of the bill, he gave the usual In
pemnity and got the money. Many years
hitter. When the mar had long been dead,
the paper was presented. 1t was pnya-
BILE on demand. and had come from
abroad in the ordinary way of business.
and the sum 1t represented had to be
handed over. and as the indemnity thar
had been given was rep.diated BY the
heirs Of the man who had! given II, and
for some reason could not be enforced.
h bank on that occasion had to put
$4,000 on The debit sid of the account.
For once in a way they paid double honar
TO q bit OF their own paper.
Y There Is another story of a sun of
10000 which the bank In its early days
for a short time refused to hand over In
Exchange for Its own notes. They were
presented by a Jew, whose assertion that
The had bought them was not disputed and
Whose personal integrity was above sus-
lpicion. They had, however. undoubtedly
been stolen. n on that ground the bank
refused to pay the money. The Jew ven
iout into h city and began to spread it
iabroad that the bank was shaky and
couldn't cash his notes. and as he backed
his assertion by displaying his i%ndisputa,
BILE paper, the assertion would in. all
probability soon have caused a run on
1.-THE bank. In q few minutes a messenger
came to say that the notes woul be
,cashed II he would present them again.

HAS IMPROVED A LOST ART.
George Brichier's Discovery of a
hEonvopcrs Irn.b,I, f,r lb.nooo,

/, Marvellous Embalmfng Process.
& st. Louis Republic; That 1t is possible
to preserve dead bodies so that they shall
have the same appearance as In life has
been proved by two men, one an under
'taker OF st. Louis, the other a resident
OF East st. Louis: Both have apparently
improved on the lost art of emballning
as 1t was known to the Egyptians. as they
preserve the body without emaciation or
any outward change, except the pallor
which comes with death. BY this new
process it is not necessary to wrap and
the form OF the dead. as the ancients
up those tissues which would otherwise
decay, are injected and these parts being
destroyed the body is left unchanged as
to appearance.
That Is the important difference be-,
tween the process known to the Egyptians
and the new method. Instead of the skin
shrinking over the bones and drying. 1t
hardens under the influence OF the chem.
icals and preserves the contour OF the face
and figure. The body, after being pre-
served In this manner for several weeks
extinct only a few hours. The only change
apparent is that a waxy gloss comes upon
the skin, Doubtless the best examples OF
ms process Of explaining are TO be found
in East St. Louis.
One of these is that of a negro. who YVES

body was removed to the morgue.
where 1t lay uncared for about forty
eight hours. Then, no one claiming 1t,
Mr.. Brich1er obtained 1t and subjected 1t
to his process. This was not his first ex-
pertinent, but the others had been unsuc-
cessful. although they showed Mr.. Brich-
Ter that he was working In the right i-
.rection.
The negroes body was not in such a com
dition that Mr.. Brichler was confident OF
achieving his object, but the natural gases
were extracted and the fluid, composed In
a large part of formaldehyde gas, was in
jected. Several days passed. during which
time Mr.. Brichler took hourly observa-
tions, n he vas at last rewarded for his
work by finding the body gradually hard
ening and drying. Since that time, seven
weeks ago. no change has been apparent
save that the flesh, If 1t may still be given
that term. has grown harder day by day.
until 1t Is now as firm as the sole of q
rubber boot. There is no odor, and the
muscles stand out us In life, there Is no
hmaciation and tho features have not
yhrunk as they usually do a few hours
hitter death.

there has been no change. In this case.

by the East st. Louis man. ~
