In1 reau of Engraving and Printing is
w the most attractive to strangers.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about the place is the ease with which ac-
cess is had to the building. Visitors enter
without being challenged, and are shown
through without being watched. 1t looks
as if there were nothing to prevent any one
from pocketing two or three million dol
lars, and when the visitor is ushered out
by the polite guide, he generally leaves with
the idea that Uncle Sam is very careless in
deed.
But he isn't. The visitor is watched from
the moment he sets his foot in the building
and if the guide did not accompany him to
the door, the visitor could not get out without
a written pass The visitor is prisoner
and if he touches a plate or note he will
surely regret it.
All the employees, without exception, are
prisoners during the day, having no freedom
to leave the building until they have rendered
a full account of all that has been placed in
their keeping by the superior.
the watchmen sit silently all day, there is
a metal plate set in frame in the wall. In
this plate there are twelve little round holes,
one under another. Each hole is labeled with
a name,. as wettng-room, mess-room, vault,
and SO forth. Each hole represents one de-
partment of the bureau and as long as the
hole remains empty the watchmen will per
nit no one from that department to leave
the building unless he has special permit.
When the force of one department are
through work for the day. and all have rem
dered their accounts straight, the superin-
tendent in charge of that branch marches
down at the head of the whole force, and,
while they wait, places little straight key,
with button at the end of it, into the hole
designated as his division. Then there is
loud ringing of an electric gong that sounds
throughout the building, and the watchmen,
seeing the key in the hole, permit the men to
pass out.
This is repeated as the days work of each
division is done. The last key to be put I'D
is that Of the custodian of the vault where
the plates are kept, and when it is there the
building is supposed to be empty except of
watchmen. Any one found in the building
after that would have to remain there until
there was an order from the proper authority
to let him ~out.
The closing scene at the end of the day in
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-09
WHERE BANK NOTES ARE MADE

this great money factory is interesting In
the morning each man and each woman has
been given the proper assignment of work
The women are the counters, testers, wetters
and helpers to the pressmen.
Each employe on taking the material for
work, whether it is paper or plates, gives a
receipt forNit to the custodian. No one ever
gives anything to any one else without a
receipt.
The paper on which the money is printed
is counted as so much money and every time
it changes hands must be counted and re-
ceipted for. Even the girls who act as help
ers. and carry the paper from the wetting-
room, have to count it for their own protec-
ton, and give a receipt to clear from re-
sponsibility the superintendent of that room
AT the end of the day, each must return
in one. form or another all that his receipts
show hlm to have had during the day, and
until he has check showing that this has
been done he cannot leave the room.
When the paper and the notes and stamps
have all been turned in by those working on
them, they are taken to the custodian of the
vault, IN whose presence everything is count
ed and checked off. Every scrap of paper,
blank or otherwise, which was given out in
the morning must be returned. This be-
ing done, the custodian puts it all in the vault
Then the keeper of the inner door of the
vault must pull that door to without as much
as putting his foot inside the vault, and,
while the rest stand apart from him, SO as
not to see the combination, must lock it Sc
curely.
The custodian of the vault then locks the
outer door, which is provided with time
lock- SO that, being once fastened, it cannot
be opened before the next day at the hour
set.
This being done, the custodian and his
assistants are free to. go after the key has
been put in the board at the main door.
Then all the plates which have been in use
and all those which are in process of en-
craving, and all rolls and parts of plates
have to be returned to the custodian of the
plate vault.
No man can leave the room until every bit
of engraved metal has been returned to the
missing, not soul would be permitted to
leave the building until it was found.
1t is almost impossible for anything to go
a moment, without the change being made
Of record Each man takes sole response
bility for whatever he is charged with.

Tho Watchful Rangers and the Way

You Will find them crossing the high
Slerras In California, In the Crazy
mountains OF Montana, among the
Olymplcs In Washington or following
the old Apache trails along the mesas
In Arizona. Wherever he Is, the ranger
keeps keen lookout for the smoke of
forest fires, and In the clear western
atmosphere even n little smoke column
can be detected from afar. AS soon rs
he discovers IL the ranger takes his az

there are others which take many men

there are fires I'm the big timber among

ARTILLERY CURI0SITIES,
Old Time Cannon That Were Made OF
Leather, Wood and Rock.

Leather, Wood and Rock.
Among the curiositiss of artillery
odd inventions have a great place
Cannon have been made OF the mos
unlikely materials. Leather was USED
as early as Henry Wills day at the
siege Of Boulogne. The very articles
were stored In the tower once, and
Evelyn saw them there. inscribed
"Non Marti opus est cui non deficit
Mercurius" Are they still lying In
some corner of a forgotten lumber
room? The Scotch employed leather
guns In 1910 to batter Lord Conway's
Notifications at Newbourne, and they
did the work well. Describing the fe-
verish alarm In Paris In 1902, Carlyle
says: zone citizen has wrought out the
scheme OF wooden cannon, which
France shall exclusively profit by In
the first instance. 1t Is to be made OF
slaves by the coopers, Of almost bound
less caliber, but uncertain as to
strength"

were the only artillery procurable for
the attack on the Bastille-of eccentric
model no doubt, adorned with dragons
and golden inscriptions, but efficient
workmanship. We read Of gold cannon
in India. There were two so de-
scrlbed at Baroda In Burton's time
"to which regular alteration was Of
fered." In fact, the tubes were OF
steel, but the massive gold casing cost
10000.
For the defense OF Malta In the old
days the knights Invented kind OF
ordnance OF their own, unknown to all
the world beside" says Brydone, an
eyewitness. They followed out the nat
ural rock here and there In such fash
ion that the cavity was like a mortar,
put q barrel Of gunpowder into the
hole, plugged It with a wooden disk
exactly fitting and heaped miscellane-
Gus proJectiles thereup6n. About fifty
OF these singular cannon defended
creeks and landing places. Some Of
them were six feet I'm diameter and
threw 10000 pounds weight Of iron or
stone into the air. Doubtless II all
went well they would do tremendous
execution upon an enemy trying to
disembark.
But there are eccentrlcitles still more
curious on record. In a tomb on the
island OF Chinal, near Usumaclnta,
Mexico, was found a cannon four feet
eleven inches long of terra Gotta, with
terra Gotta bullets. 1t is suggested
that when Cortes retired after his
great flight at Ceutla, Tabasco, the ma
tives copied the Spanish guns In clay,

State Commissioner OF Forestry
Jesse B. Mowry in his annual re-
port lays stress upon the present un-
appreciated value OF forest land in
Rhode Island. There are about
7so,ooo acres of unim proved land. a
large part of which may be classed
as forest land, capable of bearing
forests, he says,and he adds that this
area should yield, under suitable
management, about 10000, 900
board feet of lumber and 5000
cords of fuel per year, at value OF
$I,r75,ooo. He based his estimate
on a sustained yie.d and a gradual
improvement of the forest.
