They Have Peculiar Qualities Which
Battle the Counterfeiter.

6aHiS IHS SOuHbSTIS'bSI
About the year 1919 a great out
cry was raised against the Bank of
England for not adopting a style Of
note that could not be initiated and
at the same time preventing the
sacrifice of life which at that period
was common, the punishment for
forgery being death. The subject
at last became so pressing that the
government appointed commissions
ers to investigate the cause of the
numerous forgeries and whether a
mode could be devised whereby the
forging of banknotes might be pre-
vented.
Previous to this investigation the
directors of the bank had been en-
deavoring to remedy the evil, many
plans having been submitted to
them, all Of which they were
obliged to reject, says the Scientific
American.
The bank placed before the COM
missioners $50 different projects
that had been recommended for
adoption and seventy varieties Of
paper made by way of experiment.
The result Of all this labor was the
banknote of today.
The color of the paper is peculiar
and cannot be initiated exactly by
counterfeiters except at great ex-
pense. The combined thinness and
strength of the paper are also
unique. 1t is made in sheets large
enough for two notes. Each note
before it is sized weighs about
eighteen grains, and then if doubled
it is strong enough to suspend q
weight of thirty-six pounds.
The texture Of the paper is also
peculiar. 1t has a crisp feel inva-
riably the same and such that bank
clerks of experience can readily de-
tect forgeries by this test alone
Then the wire mark impressed in
the making by a frame, costly tc
make and difficult to use, is prac.
tically inimitable.
Each note has thin, rough edges
uncut, not to be produced by any
mode Of cutting paper that is moi
devised expressly for the purpose
The paper for printing is dampeneJ
with water in the exhausted re,
ceiver of an air pump. The ink used
IN the plate printing is made Of
Frankfort black. which is composed
of the charcoals Of the tendrils a1e
husks Of the German grape ground
with linseed oil. This ink has I
peculiar and very deep shade d
black, common black inks being
tinted either with blue or brown.

A provision has been added to the Postofice Ap- propriation Bill by the Senate Postofice Committee without proper notice or public hearing; it provides for an unjust discriminatory and confscatory tax OF the popular magazines. By attaching this prov sion to the Postoffice Appropriation Bill at the eleventh hour, all opportunity for open discussion and consideration by the people, the publishers and the Senate was cut off, t was an un-American, star chamber proceeding accomplished under presidential and political coercion.
 If this bill is passed with the provisions which practically exempts from taxation magazines which have not spoken boldly on public questions many of the popular periodicals will be put out of business a together and the others without exception will be seriously crippled.
 Even if it possible for the magazines to continue in business under these new conditions the people would derive no benefit from the measure; for until the Posolfice Department is taken out of poi- tics and business-like management installed it is improbable that any additional revenue collected will be used economically.
 We urge every friend of honest politics. econom- ical government and free press to telegraph or write an immediate protest to their senators and representatives

Long islander Sells Piece OF Furniture

An elderly Long Islander once at

Among the articles for which bids

One day a clerk from q furniture

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty-seyen Big Timhers Arc Cut
Through In One Day by Aid Of
Electricity.

One OF the most ingenious uses to
which electricity was ever put was in
the wrecking Of a bridge over the Wa
bash in Indiana
This bridge had been purchased by
the county authorities, who intended
to replace it by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and abutments.
The owner agreed to remove the
bridge In 30 days.
The chief difficulty lay In the short
time agreed upon for the removal Of
the bridge. Several wreckers to whom
the matter was submitted declared
that 1t would be impossible within 80
days to pull down the old bridge with
out injury to the piers.
The structure might be blown up
with dynamite. but the explosion
would also destroy the piers. Were ii
fired, the heat would crack and injure
the masonry Of the bridge The 80
days expired, and an extension of one
week was granted.
The owner was at his wits end
when he CHANGED upon an electrician
who proposed. not to blow UP the

Each span of the bridge was COM
posed of nine chords Of three timbers
each. The 81 stills were to be cut
simultaneously, SO that the span would
drop between the piers into the river.
The cutting was to be accomplished
by burning through the wood with
loops of iron resistance made red-hot
by the passage OF the electric current.
Fifty-four resistance loops were
heated to wreck each span, and the
spans were wrecked one at time.
