TRICKY POSTAL DEFRAUDERS.

Many curious ways OF defrauding the
postohice have been discovered. but the
most ingenious method has lately been
brought TO the notice OF the postal au-
thorities in Brussels. They noticed
from time TO time during the past few
months that the number OF letters post
ed in various places throughout the
country was much greater than the
number of stamps that had been sold.
and they felt convinced that a fraud OF
some kind vas being perpetrated. They
set detectives to work, and at last they
have solved the mystery.
The plan adopted by the tricksters
was very simple. When one OF them de-
sired 70 post a letter, he stamped IL as
usual, but over the stamp ne placed a
very thin, transparent piece Of paper.
the result being that the postofIlce mark
appeared only on this paper and did not
deface the stamp underneath *. which
consequently could be used again and
Just as often as it was protected b. the
transparent paper.
The trick was 80 easy that any one
could do Il. all that was necessary be-
ing 70 see that the transparent paper
was gummed evenly over the stamp.
