department that would be pointed out as that
wherein the greatest caution is exercised; for. II
one Of the plates were through any careless
ness lost or stolen and duplicate made, it is
manifest that there would be no limit beyond
the strength OF the producer to the number or
bills of that denomination and series that might
be thrown into commercial channels. These
notes be it understood would in no sense be
counterfeits, but actually and absolutely the

To the general public probably. the printing
Of the notes, with all its attendant activity and
hustle appeals with more interest than the
quieter preparation Of the plates. The first
process incident 10 the printing is the wetting
of the paper to prevent the crumpling and
scorching Of the sheets under the hot plates.
As was stated above. the paper is drawn from
the Treasury officials upon requisition, and
receives from that moment the valuation it will
ultimately possess; if a sheet is lost. and the
loss is traced To any one employe, he or she Is
assessed its full value and if it cannot be traccT

HOW PLATE is EVOLVED.
TIE process of designing. engraving and as
sembling new plate is fully as intricate and
interesting as that Of printing. If a plate for
series of five dollar notes. for instance, is re-
quired the matter is placed in the hands of the
chief of the engraving department. and from

ever else is essential. he pastes together IA paper

the plate are then put before the corps Of expert
cngraVrrs which the Bureau employs. These
artists are each specially proficient in some one

work. the cutting of viSnettcs: another may be
sliful in scroll work, and a third may be en-
ploycd entirely upon lettering.
Though TREY have every privilege. and receive
salaries ranging from $1,000 to $1,000, each is
rigidly confined To his own class of work, 50 out
Of this large and efficient force Of engravcrs no
single member is capable Of carrying to com

sign are cut separately. either by means of IA

the etching process, in which the metal is bitten
by acid and which gives softer and more pleas

bed pieces" These dies are then taken to the
hardening room, where they are baked at a
white beat with preparation Of cyanide oI po-

designed furnace. whence. after a bath Of oil.
