BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
Qualities Which Prevent Successful
Counterfeiting.

About the year 1919, a great cutlery
was raised against the bank Of England
for not adopting 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 commissioners
to investigate the cause of the numerous
forgeries and whether a mode could be
devised whereby the forging Of bank
notes might be prevented
Previous to this investigation, the di-
rectors OF the bank had been endeavoring
to remedy the evil, many plans having
been submitted 10 them, all OF which
they were obliged TO reject.
The bank placed before the commits
sioners 1870 different projects that had
been recommended for adoption and 20
varieties OF paper made BY way of ex-
pertinent The result Of all this labor
was the bank note of to-day.
The color of the paper is peculiar and
cannot be initiated exactly by counter
feiters except at great expense. 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 Is
grains, and then if doubled it is strong
enough to suspend a weight of SO pounds
The texture OF the paper is also pc
culiar. II has a crisp feel invariably
the same, and such that bank clerks of
experience can readily detect forgeries
by this test alone. Then the wire mark
impressed in the making by frame,
costly to make and difficult to use. is
practically inimitable.
Each note has thin, rough edges, uncut,
not to be produced by any mode of cut
ting paper that is not devised expressly
for the purpose. The paper for printing
is damped with water in the exhausted
receiver of an air pump. The ink used
in the plate printing is made of Frank
fort black. which is composed OF the
of the tendrils and husks of
the German grape ground with linseed
OIL This ink has a peculiar and very
deep shade of black, common black inks
being tinted either with blue or brown.

compete with other kinds of stone. The
reply to be made to them is that in az
far as eut marble is concerned, even
with the advantage of all the new ma
ehinery in that business, that on large
contracts the prices for cut granite are
lower than for marble The quarrying
and handling OF granite is helpful TO

We're low: employers pioneering in mon

SENT TO ASYLUM.

D. c. Stweart, who has been in the
receiving station since the 9Th inst,
was this morning sent to the Insane
Asylum. Stewart was arrested some
little time back on a charge of drunk
enness but was in so unsettled con-
dition that it was deemed advisable
to hold him at the station for treat
ment. On the 5th inst, at the re-
quest of his wife, Stewart being ap-
parently in possession of his mental
faculties, he was released but he
broke out again and his wife asked
the police to take him into custody
again. Stewart was then drunk but
since the sixth he has shown signs
of being much better and yesterday
seemed as we'll as possible. However,
this morning he was worse than u.s.
ual and was then sent to the asylum.

Jumping from the amateur into the

of Kubo, a young man who won
plaudits and applause on amateur
night at the Bijou last week. After
his playing of Annie Laurie and River
Shannon upon a one-string violin, the
violin consisting of cigar box, he was
engaged for the whole of the present
week. He made good last night and
was encored. The two African lions
were given their first appearance at
the Bijou last evening and their per-
Torrance was thrilling, although the
beasts were kept in control by their
charming little tanner. The Hidalgos,
Spanish dancers, gave four pretty
dances, the first having a song &C
compartment rendered by Senorita
Hidalgo. The "Madrilena" is one of
the prettiest and eatchiest of all their
repertoire. The program will be re-
peated tonight and tomorrow.
