HOW He Told Counterfeits.

1--WE have q man In this Office re-
marked one of the officials of the treas
ury department the other day, 'who IS
without peer anywhere In the coun-
try when it comes to spotting coun-
terfeit coin. His faculty for telling the
spurious product has been developed 10
a remarkable degree. He gave an Illus
tration Of his skill the other day, On
that table In the corner there were
piled up a couple hundred half dollars.
Apparently they were all sound ana
genuine specimens from the govern
ment mint. Our expert walked Into the
room, and, giving one glance at the Pile
of halves twenty-five feet distant ne
quietly remarked:
There's n counterfeit in that STACK.
"He then stepped up to the table ana
pulled q coin from out OF the middle OF
the pile. 1t was tested and found to be
spurious. I asked the man to tell how
he discovered the counterfeit.
"By the reflection Of the light ne
replied. The rays cast from that COLI
were wholly different from those sent
out py the other pieces. That coin stood
out as distinctly from the rest as
blood red poppy in field OF white
flowers Washington Cor. Brooklyn

A Nuisance.

The law forbidding the casting OF
Kitchen ohal in the strsets of the city Is
plain. This includes banana skins, but
1t seems that to many the law Is more
honored in its breach than its obser-
vance These menaces to life and limb
as well as health are to be found daily
ON nav ements, and the practice of drop
ping the rinds anywhere IS on the IN
crease. King street is especially ut
tered with them. This morning skins
from about dozen bananas were lying
at the mouth of the sewer at the south
west corner of King and Fairfax streets
and thousand of flies had been drawn
ihither by them. 1t would seem tha'
measures could be instituted to stop such
wantou violations Of law OH the main

The story Of the QuInine Tree.

The quinine bearing trees named py
Linnnus cinchona were so called Id
honor OF Ana, countess Of Chincnoha'
vicereine of Peru, in 1929, Spanish
lady whose first husband was twice
yiceroy of Mexico and once OF Peru
and her second also viceroy of Peru.
While I'm Lima she fell I'll of an ague'
from which she was relieved by the
powder Of a bark given to her phy-
sIcian by Peruvian noble, whom IL
had cured some years before, and when
she returned to Europe she took
with her a quantity Of this bark. She
died before reaching Spain, but 1t was
owing to her cure and the measures
she had taken to make known the
remedy that quinine was first intro
duced into Europe, where the knowI-
edge Of its virtues was soon spread by
the Jesuits. The name properly should
be. according to the Spanish, chin
chona. but 1t is rarely so spelled.

IL seems that obstacles, many small
but annoying, are ever in the path OF en-
terprises in Alexandria. Several years
ago it was believed that the railway com
pSny was ready to pay for the King
street improvement provided they were
allowed TO dOuble-track from Washing
son street west. A money consideration
Of one thousand dollars per annum was
said to have been the cause OF the aoan-
donment of the plan. When the road was
opened between Alexandria and wash
incton in 1896 no trains were allowed to
run until damages we're paid for passing
a sunken meadow near Spring Park, ana
a few wears later the company incurred
great expense in paying for eight feet oil
new paving throughout the entire length
of King street and the laying OF new
rails Later the company paveda square
ON Fairfax street and one on Prince
street with vitrlfied brick at its own ex-
pense. In addition to these the com
pany pays $1,000 a year for the
privilege of running trains down Royal
street. Most people hope Council Will
bya unanimous vote grant the request
for the extension of the Cameron street
track, and that the work will be COM
menced at once.

Adverse Decision.

Secretary Bonaparte forwarded his de-

for the employees of the Washington navy
ward, on Saturdays during the summer
to the department. from Baltimore yester'
day. The Secretary refers to the former
report of the Navy Department to the
President that it was not deemed expe'
dent TO grant the request for a halt holt
day at the navy yards. Among Other
things the Secretary says; rms
decision of the department, having been
approved by the President, closed the
onestion, but, in view of the further re-
quests TO the same effect, the Secretary
of the Navy has carefully recOnsidered the
subject and concludes that the half holl'
day requested cannot be granted with
due regard to the public interest. The
necessity for strict economy on the par'
of this department is obvious and so ur-
gent that the department would not bt
