may be stolen, and on more than one occasion congress has been obliged to relieve by formal act an official in the pos. ion who would otherwise have been liable for the repayment of large losses. On one occasion two men nam ed Marden and Johnson, the latter an assistant paying teller, took $62,000 by collision. The government get back SIP, 700 Of this money, and the offenders escaped with a year in prison each. There have been a good many thefts in the redemption division, where the temptations are exceptionally great, the most famous Of them being that perpetrated by woman. who invented method of making nine notes out of eight, incidentally D the process of putting together scraps of torn bills sent in to be redeemed. Nobody ever knew how much she stole. though it was probably a very large amount, but she gave up q portion of her ill-gotten gains and was not prosecuted.
 In 1865 there was much excitement over the loss of $1.OO0,OOO in pa per money, which had been shipped from Washington to the assistant trea- surer in San Francisco. The shipment was made by a sailing vessel called the
 Golden Rule, and consisted of 1000
 $1, ,000 notes. Unfortunately the ship was wrecked on Roncador reef and the safe that contained the cash was lost with it. Nevertheless, a conspiracy was suggested and a theory was formed to
 the effect that the vessel had been de-
 liberately cast away for the sake of
 stealing the money. If this had been
 true some Of the notes would certain ly have turned up later. but as a mat
 ter of fact none of them have been seen
 since, and it may therefore be taken for
 granted that the missing wealth still
 lies at the bottom of the sea. Of course,
 being only paper money, it was no loss to Uncle Sam.
 Immense quantities of gold are ship ped nowadays across the ocean, and the
 danger of loss is SO small that the pre- ciOUs stuff may be insured a [ sO low a rate as One-tenth of l per cenl. It is in sured just like So much grain. and the documents, written in old style legal phrases. guarantee it's safety against
 all perils of the sea, including 'men-of- war, fires, enemies, pirates, rovers, thieves. jettisons. letters of marque, reprsals. takings a. sea, arrests and detain.nents Of all kings. princes, etc '' Every large transatlantic steamer has on board d treasure room, which is a great steel box, built much like vault
 on land.
 Shipments of gold coin from this country to Europe have been eXtraor- dinarily large recently. The banker in New York buys it from the subtreasury there, receiving it in sacks of $1O,OOO each. It is carefully weighed. because Europe will accept our gold only by weight. though the quality of the coin is guarantee ed by Uncle Sam's stamp. Us
 ually it is packed in casks that are
 much like herring casks, ten sacks to each cask, which weigh 1S0 pounds when thus filled. Thefts on the voyage are practically unknown, but in 1894 a cask of gold coin was lost on it's way to Paris, being finally located on the platform of q railroad station between Havre and Paris. The station agent had thought it contained white lead.- Washington Post.

STRONG BOXES OF THE U. S.
The Big Vaults in the Treasury Build
 ing in Washington.

Uncle Sans treasure boxes are un- dergoing some important alterations. They are not at all up to date in the mode cf their cclstrl- ion. nor burg lar proof by any means. and :, might be a good thing if they were torn out al together and replaced with vaults of the proper kind. s1ch as safe deposit companies have nowadays. But tha- would cost a great deal of money-per- haps as much as one million dollars and the government would prefer to avoid such an expenditure.
 Away back in 1892 this question was agitated and congress went so far as to appoint a committee, with an appro pr.ation of $3,OOO. to make an eXamina- ti9n of the vaults in the treasury and report on their condition. The report was decidedly unfavorable. condemning the arrangements as practically obso- lete, but nothing was attempted in the way of substantial improvements. It was in the same year that an expert came from New York. and, al the re- quest of the treasury. with only a few ordinary tools of the kind used in safe repairing.

 Seventy-five thousand dollars have been appropriated for the present al teratiors. which consist in part of a neW vCztibule and strong doors for the great silver storage vault. This vault cost &3O.000 originally, and extends un- der the terrace at the south end of the treasury building. It contains d nigh ty box of steel la,tice work.
