BAD Money
&oes TO WdsGe

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. l0-Ffve
tons OF counterfeit money were de-
stroyed a few days ago by order Of Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw. This was
contraband coinage captured by Uncle
Sans secret-service men during a little
more than a year. The counterfeit coins
accumulate so rapidly that this annual
destruction becomes necessary, anc II is
believed that the stuff destroyed repre-
sents the greater part Of the spurious
coinage.
The actual amount of money cap
tured" last year was So, ,223ss. This was
probably the bulk Of the bad money
fioated during the year. II that be true,
II is seen that the ratio OF spurious to
genuine coin is 81 to $4,000. This estimate
is based upon the fact that the govern
ment mints have In the last year pro-
duced more than $125. 600 900 in coin.
The relation OF counterfeit paper
money to genuine paper money is prob
ably about the same; so 1t would appear
that the business Of making counterfeit
money is not, from the standpoint OF the
counterfeiter. "just like finding It."
Nevertheless. counterfeits have been
made ever since the government was es-

men are employed by the treasury de-
partment constantly to bring the coun-
terfeiters to Justice; and as soon az
counterfeit money comes into the hands
Of government officers the most scrupu-
lous care is taken to preserve II until a
sufiicient quantity is accumulated to call
for its destruction according to the rules
and regulations Of the department.
This destruction takes place about once
a year. The paper stuff is burned. unless
II happens to be in the form Of bank
notes and treasury notes OF such elabo-
rate and painstaking workmanship that
II is calculated to deceive the public
when Il appears in the circulating medi-
um of the country. In that event-and
there is always a considerable quantity
OF these notes-they are ground up in a
kind OF huge sausage machine, called
a "macerator." in the basement Of the
treasury building in Washington.
The metallic counterfeits together with
all the plates, dies. presses. and similar
material captured from counterfeiters by
the secret-service officers, are melted
down, either at the Washington navy
ward or at a local iron foundry. The re-
cent destruction Of spurious coin and
paraphernalia OF counterfeiters was
effected at Schneider's iron foundry.

FARM AND RANCH BELLS,
The Various Processes That Enter
Into Their Making.

Cow bells that chime on the western
plains, sheep bells that tinkle on the
big American sheep ranches, bells for
grazing horses and mules and, accord
ing to Popular Mechanics, all kinds Of
bells for the farm and ranch are made
in one factory. which stands on a hill
side street in Il little town in Connect
cut.
The metal for the bells is received at
the factory in large, fiat sheets of thin
iron direct from the rolling mill and is
passed under steam driven cutter,
which turns out the properly shaped
pieces like patterns for double bladed
AK. Then a ring for a clapper is fas-
tened into the center of each piece,
and it is SPAWNED with little iron
strap for a handle. Finally the piece
is bent down into the familiar bell
shape and its sides rivcted together on
the anvil.
The bell is now in shape. but it still
lacks tone and color. These are gained
by coating of brass and a bath in a
fiery furnace In nests of four or five
the bells. ranging in size from the lit
tie three inch sheep bells to tie seven
inch COW bells. are placed, with Il mix
tur" of charcoal and brass filings be-
tween them, in plumbago crucibles, the
lids of which are held in place by IA
plastcring of wet clay. These are then
immersed in the fire. Within the cru
ciblcS the brass spreads itself in Il thin
coating over the imprisoned bells, and
the bell obtains its clear note. All that
needs be done afterward is to burnish
the bells. which is done by throwing
them with Il few leather scraps into Il
big revolving cylinder, in which they
polish themselves.

AMEND THAT ELECTION LAW.

1t is asserted that the present legislature shows
general statutes of the state of Kansas. That is
good indication and it is to be hoped that the promise
may not miscarry Aside from the necessary appro
spriaon bills maybe few urgent local measures
there is no especial demand for general legislation
States outgrow their old constitutions an average
Of every twenty-three years. The constitution of
Kansas has been doing service for upwards of
thirty years and the state having developed much
rapidly than the average state her fundamental
law amendments and all are not up to the demands
of her present Importance But there is little hope
OF new constitution because of the fear of the ma
jory action of the people by cranks, upon the one
hand and taxexemption dodgers upon the other.
Under the taxexempton clause, placed in the or
ganc act for the purpose of encouraging immgra-
ton. from one-thrd to onehalf of the property
holders of the state escape taxation.
But the legislature should not adjourn before
amending or reconstructng the present election law
in respect to the form of ballot. To say nothing OF
the after election contests resulting from the
plicated ballot it is estimated that in many

THE KAISER HAS MADE A MISTAKE.

1t is more clear every day that Germanys
drastic measures in Venezuela is a mistake. Ger
many has been expecting much in the way Of future
trade with South American states. Latin American
will not fail to note the fact that Germany leads and
Great Britain and Italy follow, more or less hest
tatingly, in the coercion of Venezuela In some
respects the other powers involved do not keep in
line with Germany at all Consequently, the feeling
will be common in South America that Germany
is the nation of Europe which is the most to be
dreaded and least to be dealt with as friend.
The net result seems likely to be bad for Ger
man business interests. In few cases extraor-
binary concessions may be obtained through fear
of giving offense to the German government, but
in many more it seems probable there will be
natural unwillingness to trade with Germans or
grant German companies favors for manufactures,
mining or anything else of that sort The stronger
the Latin American state and the more important
its commerce and industries the less it wifi be likely
to yield to Germany through fear, and the more
its people will probably incline toward other ma
