DISAPPEARING WRITING.
The Way q Hig swindis Was Success
Tally Worked In Pnrfs-

s&4t "oEks0 Inrta.
A number OF Partisan flnanclers were
recentiy defraudcd OF n vefy consider
able sum OF money by a swindler who
relied for the success ~ his scheme en-
ureiy upon the peculiar properties Of
iodide OF starch. Posing as a man OF
considerable wealth. whose money was
ued up In such a manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending 10 have the option OF some
valuable concessions In China. he OBJ
hined various large amounts Of money
In exchange for bills dated to stand
Tor three months.
NO one for a moment suspected that
there was anything in tina least degree
shady about the man or his transac-
lions. and when he made II public that
he had been successful In selling his
Chinese concession nj large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
be would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise. however,
when they came TO look through their
papers 60 find the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces In the places
where the swindler's name should have
been and had actually been. They
ciamored round him for an explanation
OF the strange affair. but he denied that
he had ever given any OF them bills and
debed them TO sue him for repayment
OF the loans. and the fact that the bills
were devoid OF the swindlers sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
less.
The matter was put into the hands OF
the police. who Were able 10 discover
that In signing the bills the man had
used n solution OF lodlde OF starch.
which. when drst used for writing. APP
pears much the same as ordinary Ink.
but completely disappears In the course
OF a few weeks. and. although traces
Of the chemical may subsequently be
<)Scorged. nothlps~oIn make the writ

victims had discovered his method. the
schemer decamped. despite the fact
thaf the chances OF the police obtain
ing n conviction against him were very
remote indeed.

The object OF this peculiar type OF
