The plan Of holding a FIVE days

also the plan Of having the insti-

county. One or both Of these may
be tried later on, but from the

Seamen.
Next morning broke a of desolation
such as we may picture only of Valparaiso and
other Chilean cities during the recent catastrophe.
We found ourselves in small indentatlon
in the coast line, having been swept five miles up
the coast and nearly two miles inland. The wave
had carried over the sand dunes bordering the
ocean, across valley and over the railroad leav-
the Andes. On the perpendicular front of the
mountain navigator discovered the marks
of the tidal wave, and by measurement found
it to have been forty seven feet high, not includ-
ing the comb.
Stranded High on Land
THERE we lay on even keel as if still af1oat,
with our bow toward the sea, our flag still
flying and our starboard anchor and hundred
placed it there. Was it possible this heavy anchor
and chain should have drifted with throughout
all the of our extraordinary voyage? And
why not the chain parted at least by the last
shock as the other four? Vain queries, impos-
sble of solution.

bark, the Chanacilla, with of her chains wound
around her many times it would go, thus

Good Pay for Engravers

THE engraving force is well paid. Vacancies may
be filled either by direct appointment through
examination as to skill, or by promotion from the
lower grades The lowest posts those of appren-
tees, held by boys of from fourteen to twenty who
receive from fifty cents a dollar day. Next
transferers, who attend to the transfer presswork
described, and plate cleaners, who go over the
plates and reengrave the lines when these become
receive from twenty-five hundred to six thousand
dollars year.
When the plates of four notes leave the engravers
taken by hand presses this being necessary SO it is
claimed to allow the time essential for careful work.
The printer inks his plate with a small hand roller

Next the notes are trimmed pressed smooth by
hydraulic presses and tied in bundles for sending
over to the treasury At the latter place, the
seal of the United States, Uncle Sans signature,

which have been together since they came
from the press are cut apart.
All the work after the printing and before the ship
ping is done by girls who have been promoted from
the ranks of the printers assistants and known
place through competitive examination of two
kinds, conducted by the Civil Service Commission
High Standard in Examination
THE first kind consists of an educational test
for which public school training is sufficient
physically, to be that they can stand the
strain of the work. Although only women are
eligible to these posts, the applicants numer-

ment. Eighteen is the minimum age of appoint
ment. The pay is dollar and twenty-five cents or
a dollar and half day
AS was said before, every sheet of bank notes is
counted over fifty times, and examined nearly as
often. These numerous countlngS not much
to insure accuracy in the count as to prevent loss
from accident or theft Every time a stamp or a
note passes through fresh pair of hands goes
through another process, it must be counted, and
a tremendous amount of trouble The loss of a sim
gle note will lead to the entire force being kept in
until it is found it's face value charged up to the
person responsible for its loss.
All the counting is done by women, who grow
traordinarily expert at it. They will throw out
rapidly that average person could scarcely have
seen the note itself let alone the mpertecton which
will usually remain invisible to most people even
after it has been pointed out to them.

Paper to Foil Counterfeiters

HIS precautions start with the blank paper on
IL which he prints his notes. 1t is peculiar paper,
with silk threads running all through it, paper that
be manufactured only by powerful and expensive
machinery, out of reach of the ordinary counter
feiter Experience has proved that this paper the
greatest safeguard of all that surround the work;
for, as far is known, counterfeiter has ever
perfectly initiated it. The nearest they have
come has been to paste two sheets of thin paper
together with silk threads between them. Any
thing better than this has always been stolen not
manufactured.
So Uncle Sam has established the most rigid rules
about this paper. He contracts with certain firms
to supply him with it, and others allowed to
make it at ALL and the favored only under the
most rigid bonds for its safekeeping; anybody else
having it in his possession is liable long Jail
tence. Every sheet that is made is counted and
recorded again and again just carefully though
it already thousand dollar bill After it is
delivered to Uncle Sans representatives. it is fol-
lowed even more carefully than before Between
the manufacture of the paper and the finishing of the
note each piece of paper is counted more than fifty
times by many different counters.
Before the paper reaches Uncle Sam the plate with
which the printing is to be done has been engraved.
To the plate duplicates are used in printing.
The process begins with the preparation of designs

wipes it first with a rag
and then with his hand,
and places it upon the
press. His assistant, who
is always a girl, adjusts
the sheet. After it has
been passed under the
roller, she removes the print
and examines it for i'm
projections, while the prin-
ter removes the plate and
re-inks it. The backs are
printed first, and then
their faces. From the
printing room they go to
girls, who put on the
numbers by curious ma
chimes which change their
numbers automatically.

large scale, perhaps two feet long These are
reduced to proper size by photography, and sub
mitted for approval Sometimes several sets are
submitted before satisfaction is given
Then the designs are turned over to the engravers,
who prepare plates from them Several work
on each plate, one engraving the portraits another
Each prepares separate die all Of Witch s are assem-
bled fitted together, until the whole is completed.
Then the imprint of the original print is transferred
and from it, in turn, made plates which exact
duplicates of the original, from which the printing
is done.

their pernicious activity. He calls these people
counterfeiters and when he catches them he sends
them to Jail for many years

it with scrolls and devices that it takes sklful

Tense for anyone to have to pass imitation and

TN most of his lines of
work Uncle Sam has a
clear field. Nobody in
terferes with him in carry
ing the mails, or collecting
the tariff duties, or build
ing the navy. He goes
about all this work almost
without reference to out
siders. But when it comes
to printing the money, he
has a small but clever and
energetic body of competi-
tors who are always inter
fering with his work and
trying literally to make
money at his expense. So
persistent are they that his

AWAY With Headaches.

1t may seem all nonsense to you.
our claim that headaches will disap'
pear after wearing glasses; that the
dull headache which has persisted fOl
a year will disappear as if by magic.
But 1T is all true; ask your doctor,
and if he says so, then come and be
examined for glasses. We believe
that nine-tenthS Of all headaches viii
be relieved by glasses. and il you are
a sufferer and your doctor gives it up
as a bad job, you al try the glasses.
We make a correct examination and
give the correct lenses. Isn't 1t
