COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
The Check Letter Test on United
States Currency.

The Check Letter Test on United
States Currency.
The United States government prints
its currency and numbers its bills in
series of four, so that every piece OF
paper money turned out bears one Of
the check letters-A, B, C, D. One of
these letters is always found in two
places on a United States bill, in the
upper left hand corner and in the low
er right hand corner. The placing of
the letter on the bill is not determined
by the number of the bill. The rule is
to divide the last two figures on the
note by four. Should the remainder be
one, the check letter must be A; should
it be two, the check letter is B; three,
the check letter is c, and nothing, the
letter D.
For example, I have before me a
five dollar certificate. Its number is
614S9730 The terminal number is 80.
Divide by four. The result is seven
with two over. The check letter Is B.
Here is yellow back gold certificate
with twenty-three as its terminal num-
Der. Divide this by four, and we have
five with three over. G is the check
letter.
Should this rule of four fail to work
on any United States currency note
you may bet all you have that the
money is bad. Some counterfeited bills
are right to their check letters, but
great many are not SO If the rule Of
four works. The bill may be still bad,
but if it doesn't it is surely bad. This
rule applies only to United States cur
rency and not to national bank notes.

Spain's Buried Wealth,

The Carthaginians and the Tyrians
regarded Spain as Ell Dorado. 1t is
but poor country today, but potential
wealth lies in its rock bound hills, just
as in the days of the ancients. When
those acquisitive mariners, the Phoe-
nicians, first set foot in the country
they exchanged their commodities,
says Aristotle, "for such immense
quantities of silver that their ships
could neither contain nor sustain the
load, though they used 1t for ballast
and made their anchors and other i'm
plements of silver" So rich in silver
was the country then that the people
are said to have made their commopest
domestic utensils of the metal and
even their managers. The Romans
found that their greedy forerunners
had sadly diminished the precious
store, yet enough was left to satisfy
not few proconsuls.
