WORK OF COUNTERFElTERs.
Always Clever, In Ancient az W. ell as
Modern Times.

Writing In the New England Maya
zine, Signund KrausZ furnishes an In
teresting article ON ancient and mod
ern counterfetters. The beginnings Of
this unlawful art have been traced to
the eighth century, B. c., when coun-
terfeiters were quite as clever as their
modern successors. Gold and silver
plated coins were certainly known 70
Herodotus, and it Is said that Poly
crates cheated the Spartans by paying
them tribute in counterfeit gold coins.
There is no evidence that any one
undertook the counterfe4dng Of the
iron currency Of ancient Sparta.
In the matter Of paper money and
its counterfelts, history takes US back
to 1000 B. c., at which time China was
making use Of leather notes. These
were counterfeited by the wholesale,
and the same thing was done 1000
years later, when China issued the
first real paper money. 1t Is to be re-
marked that the Chinese did not take
kindly TO the paper currency, and the
! government printed on the face of
each note a kindly warning that those
who refused to accept 1t would be be.

There are two trails In life, my boy;
One leads to height Of fame,

And one to depths of shame;
And You can reach that glorious height
Its honors can be won
Or you can grope in shame's dark night

With sharp thorns here and there;

You climb--you cannot run
And one is down hill all the way

And he who treads it cannot fail
To win, if he be true;
But tickle folly, gay with smiles,

And leads to ruin with her wiles--

And at the others end you'll see

Some Of the greatest troubles were
met in 1904, when only 1858 metres
were pierced, but for months together
the splendid drills regularly turned out
eighteen feet of gallery every twenty
four hours, which far exceeded the
rate ever before attained in the world
on any work Of this kind.
The gradient ascends at each en-
trance toward the middle for the pur-
pose Of drainage, and this alone made
possible the completion of the work.
At a distance Of 400 metres from
Iselle a spring, or rather river, Of
cold water was struck, which gushed
1880 gallons a minute and delayed
operations on the Italian side for
months. Moreover, the ground was
trea cherous and this necessitated elab-
crate propping. The largest timbers
were crushed and steel girders were
twisted. The latter were eventually
made serviceable with the aid Of con-
crete cement.
Hot Springs.
Meanwhile from Brigue the workers
reached the summit of the gradient in
the middle Of the tunnel, although the
Temperature had risen to 1872 degrees
Fahrenheit, which was % degrees
higher than expected. The Swiss
workers then began to drive down to
meet the Italians, and the hot springs
troubles, which had been fully fore
seen, began again. Water Of a tenn,
uerature of 1T degrees Fahrenheit
was soon tapped, but this was over

The world Derer witnessed a greater
triumph Of mind over matter than
was signalized by the successful meet
ing Of the galleries which now pierce
the Simplon mountain for distance
OF 1925 miles and shorten the journey
from Calais to Milan to 585 miles,
compared with the $50 miles by the
Mont Cents tunnel and 66J miles by
the st. Gothard. 1t means the res
toratlon Of Genoa as an important
port and Is OF great consequence to
the Mediterranean. Extraordinary
talent, uncomfortable perseverance and
superb courage have contributed to
overcome obstacles which 1t Is admit
ted were unprecedented in any pre-
' ious engineering work. 1t was not
the extreme length of the tunnel
which constituted the difficulty Of the
enterprise, but the soft, treacherous
rock, combined with hot and cold
springs of great volume.
The inception of the scheme and
the initiation of the work are matters
of history, as also are, the repeated
subsequent predictions that the enc
could not be achieved. The tunnel
which Is really two parallel tunnels
each with a single track, was begun
in the autumn Of 1898 at Brlgue
Switzerland, and a month or two latel
