MoneY In BOGUS pennies.

Strangely enough. the most profit
able coins TO counterfeit are pennies.
because for an expenditure of rs cents
100 Of them can be made. which leaves
a profit Of 50 cents on the dollar. The
chief difficulty is in getting them into
circulation. 1t also takes expert work
manship to make these pennies. be-
cause they must be made with die.
The best counterfeiters pay most of
their attention to the making Of guar.
tiers, half dollars and dollars. With
silver at 60 cents an ounce a counter
feiter can make five quarters from
every ounce. quarters that ring true
and have every appearance Of the real
thing.--New York World.

height OF THE CLOUDS.

One to Six Miles Away.


When the Illuminating tests OF the
new highpreasure fountain In the
Schwartzenbergplatz. Vienna, were
made a remarkable cone Of light was
observed. appearing as though pro
jected by searchlight. says the Lon.
don Post When this beam of light
fell on a cloud an exceedingly bright
spot appeared in The heavens. DR..
Rhaden, assistant at the Vienna OBJ
servatory. observing the angle which
the bright spot made with the horizon,
had the happy thought of using it TO
determine the height OF the clouds.
A simple geometrical calculation per
mits OF this and from a number Of
observations cloud heights were de-
dueed ranging from 1850 TO 1000
meters, or from one to six miles APP
prOximatcly. A peculiar fact was that
sometimes during weather that was
apparently perfectly clear bright
spot would appear in the projection
OF the beam of light. showing the pres
ence of a stratum of fine vapor ordIn-
arily visible with difficulty or entirely
Invisible. On one occasion this yapor
stratum proved to be more than six
