CLEVER C~OUNTERFEITERS.
Bad Money Was as Skillfully Made
in Ancient Times as at the
Present.

Writing in the New England Maya
zine, Sigmund Krausz furnishes an in
teresting article on ancient and modern
counterfeiters. The beginnings of this
unlawful art have been traced to the
eighth century, b. C., when counterfeit
ers were quite as clever as their mod
ern successors. Gold and silver plated
coins were certainly known to
Herodotus, and 1t is said that Polycrates
cheated the Spartans by paying them
tribute in counterfeit gold coins. There
is no evidence that anyone undertook
the counterfeiting of the iron currency
of ancient Sparta.
In the matter Of paper money and its
counterfeits, 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 remarked
that the Chinese did not take kindly to
the paper currency, and the government
printed on the face of each note a kind
ly warning that those who refused to
accept it would be beheaded. This pa
ternal act readily secured at least out
ward popularity for the issue.
London is the favorite stamping
ground for counterfeiters, and from
this place as headquarters hundreds of
thousands of counterfeits are sent out
every year. One consignment of
prayer-books, stopped at the Russian
frontier on its way from England, was
found to contain $4,000 counterfeit notes
of denominations ranging from five 10
fifty rubles.
France has had her troubles with the
counterfeiting fraternity. On one oc-
casion a gang had counterfeited the 800
franc note so successfully and to such
an extent that the government was
obliged to withdraw the entire issue
OF that denomination from circulation
and print new notes. Knowing that
violet was supposed to be proof
against Photographic reproduction.
the bank issued notes on a pink over
print, with a blue foundation. A
Partisan chemist, Schlumberger by
name, told the bank officials that it
would be an easy matter to reproduce
he new notes, offered to prove his
statement, and also suggested to them
a new process of his own invention
which should make counterfeiting i'm
possible. The directors of the bank
declined to accept any suggestion and
contented themselves with warning
the chemist not to attempt to initiate
the new violet note. He did so, how
ever, and his limitations appeared as a
supplement to an issue of lie Moniteur,
printed on thick paper and with the
words 800 Lizards instead of 800
Francs" The joke was on the bank,
but it cost Schlumberger 800 francs
fine, while the editor of the journal
was fined 100 francs.
Paper money, with all the safe
guards which governments attempt TO
throw about it, is peculiarly suscepti-
Bile of counterfeit, and, in the opinion
Of Mr.. Krausz, so long as paper money
exists so long will counterfeits be made.

showing that STA us depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states arc
directly interested in the Joint owner
ship of S442, 354,0S6 of SCAN railroad

represent the savings of the masses,
there being twenty million holders of

MATERIAL FOR BUTTONS.
Much of 1t Found in the Ivory Nut,
the Product of a Peculiar
Plant.

According to an official of the depart
ment of commerce and labor almost all
the buttons made in the United States,
whether called ivory, pearl, rubber, horn
or bone buttons, are manufactured from
the ivory plant. The cultivation of this
plant rewards its growers with no in
considerable returns.
The best ivory nut for commercial
purposes is found on the banks of the
Magdalena river, in Colombia, where it
is called the Tagua palm. The fruit
forms a globular head about twice the
size of a mans Uranium and weighs from
20 to 80 pounds. The head forms what
might be called a cluster of bulbs, con-
tanning from so to so seeds, The seeds
are allowed to dry and are harvested
several times each year by the natives.
The ivory plant also grows in Califor-
mia, but the nut there found is Of an in
ferior quality to the Colombia variety
and will not make up as well into but
tons. 1t is, however, believed that with
cultivation the California nut may be

FIRST ROMANoFF CAR.
II, resting Chapter Of Royal His.orJ
of the Ruling Family Of
Pussia.

The Romsnoff dynasty OF cars, OF
which the present emperor OF Russia Is
a member, has ruled the empire since
1913, when Michael Feodoroyitch Ro-
manoff was elected czar by an assembly
of representatives, following a national
uprising.
The previous rulers, the descendants
of Ivan Ill, who threw off the yoke OF
the Mongols in 1862, became extinct
about 1892, and the country had been
torn by wars among the mobiles and by
popular risings against them. 1t was
as the champion of the last of these
risings that the Romanoff dynasty
came into power.
The steady growth of the Russian
empire began about that ime. Michael
purchased peace from the Poles and
devoted himself to strengthening the
empire, but under his son the terri
tory given the Poles was recovered AMI
his grandson conquered the Cossachs
and fought the first successful war with
the Turks.
Another grandson of Michael, Peter
the Great, is considered in many re-
spects the real founder of the empire
as a modern power. 1t was he VINO
introduced into the semioriental cus-
toms of the Russians Of his day the
occidental customs which have been
so fruitful a source of trouble yer
since. Under Peter the empire wrest-
ed territory from the Turks, Poland
and Sweden and the internal admins
tratiOn of the government, as well as
its foreign policy, was placed practi-
cally on the footing it now occupies.
The next period of rapid develop
ment in Russia came under Catherine
ii. Q762-96), who assembled the throne
after causing the murder of her hus-
band, Peter III. She furthered the
spread of western civilization in the
empire, enacted laws favorable to the
development of m and indus
try, and introduced administrative
changes. She was the guiding spirit
in the spoilation of Poland, and fought
the Turks in two successful wars.
Her son, Paul |, carried on a con-
slant fight with his aristocracy, and
established the censorship Of the press
and the secret police system. He was
preparing to make war on England
when he was assassinated by conspir-
ators.
Alexander l.. who assumed power in
1901. was a lover of peace, and abol-
ished serfdom in the Baltic provinces.
1t was he who fought Napoleon, and
led him into the disastrous invasion
of Russia. The latter years of his
reign were less liberal, and his son
carried IN a reactionary policy.
His grandson, Alexander H., how
ever. proved the most liberal of Rus
sia's rulers, and. while prosecuting the
expansion of the empire in all direc-
tons, instituted many internal re-
forms. He abolished the secret police,
and was said to be about to propose
marked changes in the form of govern
ment when he was assassinated in
1881.
His son, Alexander ILL.,, took as ad-
visers the extreme ~reactionaries and
autocrats. He was succeeded in 1894
by Nicholas H., the chief feature of
whose reign has been the development
of Asiatic Russia.

THE BIGGEST FERRYBoAT.
Southern Pacific Steamer Is the Larg-
est of Its Kind in the
World.

The steamer Solano, the largest
Eerryboat in the world, crosses the
Straits of Carquinez. carrying the
trains of the Southern Pacific between
Port Costa, Contra Costa county, and
Benicia, Solano county. Cal. The ves-
sci, says the Scientific American, was
built in 1879 and launched in Noyem-
Der of the same year. Her construc-
ton resembles that of a huge scow,
stiffened lengthwise by four wooden
trusses. one under each of her four
tracks. Her hull measured Ga feet 10
inches in beam and ZIG feet S inches
over the guards. She Is a double
ender, with four-balanced rudders at
each end, controlled by hydraulic steer.
ing gear. The Solano is propelled by
two simple walking beam engines of
inch cylinder, with an 1l-foot stroke.
and its horsepower is 2,252. Each an
CINE drives one wheel and works in
~dependently of the other, The wheels
are 30 feet in diameter and each has
"A buckets.
The steamer has eight steel boilers.
"a feet 10 inches long and 81 inches
in diameter, and carrying 40 pounds of
steam pressure. Six of these boilers
are in use every day. Once in three
weeks two are laid off, when the scale
that has accumulated is removed with
crude soda, Petroleum is used for
fue!. Every "A hours 5000 gallons are
consumed. The tanks hold $500 gal
Ions. 1t takes so minutes to fire up.
The Solano has 424 feet of deck
length and is 406 feet Z inches on her
keel. approximately she has been
handling 10000 freight cars and $4,000
passenger cars a year. She is double
crewed. with II men in each crew. and
runs night and day, making from Sc
to 46 crossings in "A hours.
The length of her trip is n mile.
The average time of transfer, includ-
ing time required to cut trains, place
them on the boat, cross the straits.
unload and couple on the other side, is
about II minutes. Road engines ham
die one cut on and off the boat; a
switch engine handles the other cut.
The boat draws, light, 6 feet 4 inches,
but draws 10 feet 7 inches when
loaded.
The hinged steel aprons, weighing
1870 tons, over which the Ears IRE
transferred from the dock to the boat.
are four-track spans, 100 feet long.
These are controlled by air-tight pom
toons and counter weights which are
handled by hydraulic power from pres-
sure pumps located on the boat itself,
connection being made by means of
pipes and ordinary hose coupling.
As the boat enters the slip the coun-
ter weights are raised by hydraulic
power, leaving part of the apron un-
balanced. This sinks the pontoon.
The apron descends to the level of the
deck, the end fits into a recess on the
boat and is firmly latched down. The
counter weights are released and the
apron and the boat are free to rise
and fall with the tide.
