money now paid to four teachers would rea-
sonably compensate two more competent !

NO COUNTERFEIT PERFECT.
Even the Man That Drew the Good
Bill Couldn't Reproduce II.

Even the Man That Drew the Good
Bill Couldn't Reproduce 1t.
"Why is it that counterfeiters have
never been able to turn out a perfect
reproduction of paper money issued by
the governments" was asked John e.
Wilkie, chief of the secret service di-
vision Of the treasury department, the
other day.
"The answer is simple enough" re-
piled the man who has the reputation
of being one of the greatest criminal
catchers in the world. If the man
who engraved the original bills which
eounterfeiters try to initiate tried to
reproduce his own work he would
make miserable failure of it. Write
your own name on a piece of paper
/ htty times and trace one over the other
and you will find that no two agree
| exactly.
THAT is the difficulty experienced
by counterfeiters which makes their
work easy to detect. Machines cannot
be made which can do the work Of
lithographing by hand. They lack
that quaver and gentle touch which
the hand gives in making a curve, nor
can hand reproduce exactly a curve
once made"
This, then, is the simple solution
which aids the government experts end
Oftentimes the bank officials to detect
counterfeit bill almost the minute
they see one. There are. however, va
rious arts of the counterfeiter with
which the experts have to contend,
and the secret service bureau and its
assistants are kept busy through the
year passing upOn queer" money which
is sent for inspection. All money thus
sent in is kept for Il year at least and
then destroyed. Frequently the track
Of a cOunterfeiter is determined by the
temperance of a certain peculiar bill |
in different parts of the country. and |
oftentimes a large packet of one kind |
Of bills will accumulate before the |
criminal is run to earth.
There are not only the Autographs, !
but even crude printing is tried, and /
oftentimes, as in one of the latest |
cases, expert photography is employed
in making counterfeit bills. The photo.
graphs, however, do not remain long in
circulation without detection, because (
they fade rapidly. In the latest case
1t is estimated that within a month of
exposure to the air the bills would fade
until they became mere pieces of white
paper.
we get many grades of counterfeit
work here" said Chief Williie. Some
of it is done by expert lithographers
and is every bit as good as the original
save only that it is not like the original
for the reason stated above. The meth
DDS of counterfeiters are multitudinOus,
but it is a traffic that cannot be carried
on long. That is why a counterfeiter
moves from place to place"
Chief Willlie takes as much pleasure
in his work as is possible for any man.

The Dukes Treasure.

In illustration of the lavishness with
which Chatsworth House is endowed
with art treasures and of the distrait
element which is supposed to be a
feature of the Duke of Devonshire's
mind an amusing story went the round
Of the French press at the time of the
last Paris exhibition. The duke, it was
said, was strolling through the loan
section of the English exhibits with a
friend and stopped to look with admira-
ton at a porphyry table of matchless
beauty. He examined it long with the
eye of a connoisseur and at last ex-
claimed: Il wonder who is the owner
of such a beautiful specimen of work
