DETECTING BAD MONEY.

From the Kansas City Star
1t seems wonderful to the casual oh
server that cashiers, bank tellers and
others who handle large amounts of
paper money are able, at IL glance, TO
detect a bad note. Exactly what it is
that does expose the counterfeit the
best experts find it difficult 10 tell.
They say they know it instinGtlvely.
They judge not only by the looks OF
the note, but by the feel" of il. 1t is
obvious that counterfeit note must
be widely circulated to make ii profit
able. No sooner does Il counterfeit
appear than its description is widely
published. Those who are likely TO
suffer by taking counterfeit notes make
it their business to be on the lookout
for new, ones, which are soon distin-
guishable by some easily discovered
mark.
A teller knows of just what denoml-
nations are the counterfeIts, and Just
where to look for the tell tale marks.
He detects the spurious notes as easily
as THE reader does a misspelled word.
II is no particular effort. 1t is a habit.
The principal reason why eounterfoits
are so easily detected is because in

ly of inferior quality. This is, indeed,
the main protection of the public.
Genuine notes are engraved and pript-
ed almost regardless of cost and the
very best materials are used in the
engravings and printings. 1t Is done
in large establishments, with costly
materials and by the best worllmen,
II is practically impossible for coun-
terfeiters TO do as We'll They must
work i'm secret and at a disadvantage,
and of necessity cannot have the en-
perience to produce such perfect work.
If they get the engrayings done nicely
they fail in the printing, or IL they get
the engraving and printing done we'll
they fail in securing the proper paper.
OF late years there has been a great
deal of care taken TO set paper manu-
featured expressly for the notes issued
by the government. The national bank
notes are also issued by the govern
ment, SO that the. sources of supply for
exactly that kind of paper are con-
