cabinet work. There are between 500
and 600 different species Of the cac-
tus family and the actual number
probably greatly exceeds this. They
are without exception natives Of Amer
lea and their extraordinary forms con-
stitute remarkable feature in the
vegetation of the warmer regions. All
of them have fleshy stems, often very
soft and juicy, and in numerous in
stances suitable for good. Most of
them are leafless, only few species
having true leaves. Instead Of leaves
most OF the cacti have clusters of hairs
or thorn.
The whole organization of the cac-
tvs adapts it to withstand long
thoughts. They vegetate vigorously
during part of the year when mois-
tnre is available and then rest for y
long time. Some of the cacti family
grow Oh high mountains reaching
nearly to the limit of the snow, while
others thrive only In torrid districts.
The plants of this botanical order are
great boon to the natives of the dis
tricts in which they grow, generally
regions destitute of water. The stems
of many of the varieties contain a
wholesome Juice Of which both men
and livestock avail themselves, and
some species produce pleasant fruit.
The cultivation of edible cactus is
still In the experimental stage.

Bankers Quick to Detect Bad Money

THE exact chance of any one per-
] son having bad piece OF money
Is hard to determine, for the reason
that no one, not even the secret serv-
Ice, knows at any one time just how
much counterfeit currency Is In circu-
lation. But from years of experience
the government agents at Washington
have figured out that In paper money
the proportion OF bad to good is about
81 to 100000, and in coin somewhere
between 81 and So to 100000.
The larger the coin or bill to be
counterfelted the greater the danger
of detection and the need of more
expensive plant. The commonest way
Of making spurious money is the turn
Ing out of base metal coins-but the
operation Is expensive. Silver, for in
stance, cannot be successfully cast.
Base coins with silver in them must
therefore be struck off In a steel die
a die representing days of work on
the part Of an expert engraver. Then
there must be powerful press to
make the Impressions.
In the counterfeiting of paper money
there are three methods used, copy
Ing by hand, Photographic reproduc-
ton, and the raising Of genuine bills
from lower to higher denominations

The White House Is Closely Guarded

to the private apartments of the
president and his family on the upper
floor.
There is policeman always in the
basement, the entrance to which is
from the east wing Of the mansion.
At night policeman guards the base
ment corridor of the interior, another
the corridor of the main floor and an
other the corridor of the upper private
floor.
Outside there is constant vigilance
in front and in the rear, if the White
House may be conceived as having
any rear. The south front is as beau
tiful as the north front and indeed
more SO.
That the White House should have
to be thus carefully guarded may seem
strange to Americans whose chief ex-
ecutive is after all only a democrat
who is citizen temporarily, holding
high public Office. But it is neces-
sary. Three Presidents have been
assassinated, although none ever at
the White House. 1t would seem
none ever could be because Of the
vigilance kept there. But fierce
light plays upon the White House and
the occupants of 1t. especially the
president. 1t attracts all kinds of
people, and cranks are ever danger
