The Polytechnic.

This school has the largest enrolment of its existence, there being there now over 400 students Its great growth is a tribute to the learned and enthusiastic faculty Part of the large income which Is necessary to care for it arises from the wise provision Of law which gives 1t one sixth of gross receipts arising from the sale of fertilizer tags. A reduction of the tag tax will lay a hand on the Polytech- nic and the losses thus sustained you will be called upon to care for in another way.

Deputy Police Commissioner Piper, who

missioner Ebstein, had a number Of the
Brooklyn captains before him in the Smith
str.t headquarters yesterday morning,
He instructed Capt. Hayes. who is now In
chars, Of the Stagg street station, having
succeeded Capt. Maude. who is suspended
uIder charges. that he must clean up that
pr cinct. Capt. Hayes said he would do
40 and then applied for some plain clothes
men to assist him.
Capt. O'Brien of the Flushing avenue
station and Capt. Gallagher of the Clymer
street station also asked that plain clothes
men be detailed to their precincts. Capt
Piper promised them all the aid necessary.
Regarding the Observance OF the Sunday
law Capt. Piper said to reporter:
Il do not know what plans ave been
made for Coney Island tomorrow. but
have an idea that detail of additional men
will be sent there. All these matters were
attended to by Deputy Commission er

In the case Of national bank notes. the

usually printed in sheets OF $50 each

are invariably OF the same denomination.
Everywhere the utmost Drecaution Is

A \ inventor once placed on the

could pass a slip of white paper
in at one side OF a pair of cylinders.
while at the opposite side there came
out a new. crisp bill He described the
process as making money" OF course
it was all trick. simple enough to the
initiated. The only one who really
made any money was the inventor.
Yet that toy was an epitome of the bust

Engraving and Printing is one vast ma

paper. and out OF which come the print

This is the length OF the actual opera
tion Of printing. drying. counting, in
specting. etc. Long before this come
weeks OF labor in preparing the plates.
The Special paper Used.
First Of all, after the plates have been
engraved. there is the paper. Everyone
is familiar with bank-note paper. the
paper that is so crisp and interspersed
with bits OF silken threads when new.
ard strong and cloth-like even after
years OF service in till and purse and

Government at Talton. Mass. where the
process is as jealousy guarded as any

In fact. step by step. the entire manu-

by the most exacting series OF safe
guards possible 10 devise.
This blank paper is sent to the Treas
ury. and thence TO the Bureau. Every
sheet is counted. and the supply is done
up in hundreds when it arrives at the
Bureau for the first treatment. This
process consists in "wetting down" The
