BANK THEFS EPIDEMIC.
1t Has Led to an Espionage which
DisfrexSex Financial EMPLOYEES.

Disfresses Financial Employees.
The recent bank defalcations which cul-
minated in the sensational robbery of the
Windsor Trust Company in New York by
its model teller, Runyan, have resulted
in bringing into public notice the fact,
already known to men yersed IN the ways
of Wall street, that thefts by employees OF
the great fduciary institutions OF the
city have become so common as to be OF
serious concern TO the controlling inter-
ests Of these institutions
Despite the most elaborate precautions
taken by bank officials to check the RAIDS
upon the funds entrusted TO their care,
the record of entertainments committed
since last February shows that in that
period there have been 100 per cent more
defaIcations in New York than in the
preceding six months.
Several of the large banking institu-
tons which have heretofore exacted bonds
only from those Of their employees to
whose care large amounts of cash were
intrusted have within the last few months
required from every clerk a guarantee OF
his honesty. In the case of a clerk who
does not handle funds a. bond of about
5000 is now required, and the amount is
increased in accordance with the respon-
sibility.
The surety companies, for their own
particular reasons, are cooperating with
the banks and other institutions which
have called upon them TO make good losses
from theft. SO strict a watch do they
keep upon the men for whom they have
given bond that scores of detectives are
being employed to scrutinize their most
casual actions.
Bank clerks in New York City are be-
ing watched as they have never been be-
fore. They are being followed from
their places of employment to their homes
and from their homes to places of amuse-
ment.
From information furnished by one OF
the detective bureaus, reporters have as
certained that stealing has become so
common in the financial district that prac-
tically every man handling funds is now
under surveillance. And the chief reason
for this suspicion is said to be the knowl-
edge that men in such positions are
tempted-here more than in any other
American city--to speculate in stocks.

Money Lust Hopeful Fact,

Bernard Shaw, in his recent essay,
First Aid to Critics" makes the start
ling paradox that "the universal regard
for money is the one hopeful fact in our
civilization, the one sound spot in our So
cial conscience" while poverty he de-
scribes as 1.-The chief crime, worse than
murder" He goes on to explain that
money is a curse ''only when it is cheap
ened to worthlessness for some and made
impossibly dear to Others" Instead OF
spending so much time and energy upon
catching and furnishing our so-called
criminals, Mr. Shaw asks if it would not
be better to painessly kill every adult
with less income than $500 year, and
at the same time fatten and clothe every
hungry and naked child.

THE K1NsH1P OF KINGS.
II Is Not n Very Powerful Tie When

Al As NOT a very Powerful Tie W men
Commerce IL mt stake.
If alliance by kinship could guaran-
tee the peace of nations, Great Britain
Is in a position to maintain friendly
relations with nearly all the countries
or Europe, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The birth of an heir to the
throne of Spain brings that country
Into close association with England, as
rar as royal relationship goes. King
Edward married the daughter of a
ruler who was called ''the grandfather
OF Europe" and British journal re-
calls with much qualification the des-
ignation of King Edward as "the I'M
Gle Of Europe" The British monarch
is second cousin to the King of Bel
GUM, to the King of Portugal and to
Ferdinand, the elected Prince of Bull
garia. Among the nephews and nfeces
or Edward VII. are the present or ex-
pectant rulers of Russia. Germany.
Greece and Sweden. The Kings daugh-
ter Maud was married in 1896 TO
Prince Karl of Denmark, now KING
Haakon VII. of Norway. These are
stro-British royal relationships. A
collateral kinship exists between the
King of Italy and King Edward. and
an indirect connection can be traced
between the British monarch and the
King OF Seryia, the Queen OF Holland
and the royal house of France, If that
be worth mentioning.

ence these direct and indirect bonds
between the British dynasty and con
tinental rulers would have in keening
the peace of Europe II 1t were mem
aced by a substantial dispute. ROYAL
relationshpshave not prevented war in
the past ard most persons will not
place much confidence in such connec-
tons as factors for peace in the fu-
ture. National sentiment counts for
more in these days than the personal
interests Of sovereigns.
Whatever the effort, 1t Is obviously
one OF the purposes of royal marriages
to cement the friendships Of nations.
Such alliances are often affairs of
state rather than of personal affection.
but they have not superseded the neces-
sity for the political alliances, Often
sive and defensive. under which the
nations are grouped. The ties of royal
kinship do not appear as part of the
motive for such political alliances and
we imagine that they would prove TO
be only slight deterrent II they were
the only obstacle to n collision. The
Interruption of commerce In the mod
ern age is much more powerful pre-
ventive of international warfare than
the kinship of kings and commerce is
the only unwrltten alliance that counts
for mucl, as a peace factor.

These data are subsequently tabulated

The method of marking the fish Is
interesting and has been attended with
valuable results. The fish chiefly used
during the few years the experiment
has been in progress have been plaice,
because the proposals which have been
made to interfere with the catching of
them were based on inadequate knowl-
edge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal
surface with very thin convex met
al disk bearing a number. This Is at
tached to a fine silver wire which Is
passed through the thinner part of the
fish near the fin and secured on the I'M
per side by a small bone button. The
fish do not appear to suffer inconven-
fence and their growth Is not inter
fered with in any way.
The thoroughness with which the
North Sea is swept by the nets of the
fishing fleets Is demonstrated. says Dis
eovery, by the fact that out Of 5,OSe
marked plaice of all sizes 992 were re-
captured within a year. This repre-
sents 1871 per cent, OF nearly onefifth |;
but for the medium-sized fish the fig
ures are far higher, ranging from 2S.4
to 80 per cent for the whole Of the
North Sea and to 43 per cent In the
more northern portions
The men of the regular fishing feet
cooperate by forwarding to the labora-
tory of the association at Lowestoft ali,
the marked fish they catch. At the lab
oratory reference to the records easily
establishes how much the fish has gain
ed in size and weight since the previ-
Gus catching. Moreover, the distance
between the spot where it was released
and the place where it was again
caught gives en- idea as to its move
