HOW MONEY IS DESTROYED
Various Processes Were Tried on
Bank Notes by the German Inn
perial Printers.

As the great difficulty which most
people meet with in regard to bank
notes is that of being able to keep
them, it will probably come as sur
prise to many to learn there are yet
others for whom the difficulty is how
to get rid of them. The difficulties en-
tailed in destroying such paper are
well illustrated in very interesting
article upon paper destruction by the
German imperial printers, the Kansas
City Journal says.
The methods previously available
were three-burning, boiling and pulp
ing In the first process it has been
found that even where special fur
mace has been used it has not infre-
quently happened that while the outer
parts of packets were destroyed some
of the contents were not even singed.
In the case of stamped or gummed pa
per the matter was still worse, for the
packets baked together into solid
blocks, the interiors of which were
quite intact.
In the second process the paper for
destruction is placed in iron boilers;
I've is added and the contents then sub
jected to the prolonged action Of
steam. AS a destructive process for
small quantities this is quite effectual,
as is also that of pulping, a process
in which the paper is cut up by revolv-
ing knives in water.
In both of these cases there is, how
ever, another dificulty-that of dispos-
ing of the product 1t cannot easily
be sold, it will not pay to transport
and on hand the sodden, stodgy mass
quickly goes bad.
The German imperial printers there
fore decided to try new way-grind-
ing it up dry. To this end they in
stalled forty horse power mill, which
by a process of hurting. crushing and
tearing reduces the paper to an almost
powderlike form, in which it passes
through sieve into collecting cham
Der beneath the mill ready for pack
ing.
This, however, was accompanied by
very Objectionable feature, especially
when dealing with gummed paper in
the grinding. Such dust was created
that though the workmen engaged
wore protectors, it yet persistently
filed and blocked their eyes and nos
trils.
AS the work of packing was on this
account not only unhealthy, unwilling
ly performed and also uneconomical,
efforts were made to find some me-
chanical means of doing it Difficulty
after difficulty arose.
Among such may be mentioned that
a spiral feeder having been devised it
was found that the paper would some
times form into balls solid as blocks
of wood, which defied the efforts to
move them by the 90 horse power mo-
tor.
The imperial printers, therefore, are
now to be Congratulated upon possess
ing machine perfect in its kind. It
takes the paper, grinds it up to any
size desired and bags it.
Finally, though, the paper in this
form fetches but little on account of
its consequent shortness of fiber, the
mill is yet not only paying off the in
itial outlay, but is also saving some
$3.50 year in workmen's wages.

TRAVELLING MEN PROTEST.
Against Radical Advance by Railroad
Commission.


Natchez-At the business session the
Mississippi Travellers adopted a resolu-
ton making an earnest appeal to the
Mississippi Railroad Commission not to
carry out the proposed plan Of increas-
ing the assessment of property of rail-
roads 40 per cent fer the current year.
The debate on the resolution was brief,
only one or two members expressing dis
sent. Hon. Ben r. Holder, chairman of
the railroad committee, and former pres
ident of the organization, who presented
report recommending that this action
be taken, and who is perhaps more faA
miliar with railroad conditions than any
member of the organization, presented
the resolution.
1t was the almost unanimous opinion
among members that if the railroad COM
mission deems it necessary to advance
assessments, that it should be done grad
ually and uniformly and that it is both
unwise and inexpedient to make rad
ical advance at this time.

Worms Damage Corn Crop.

Laurel.--Complaints are coming from
the farmers that the worms are making
serious inroads into the young corn. The
merchants are unable to supply the de-
mand for June corn, and the farmers
are planting every available acre in the
great food crop. They had much land
still implanted few weeks ago, but the
favorable weather has enabled them to
get it all plowed. Most of it was planted
in late corn. The work of the corn worm
is adding another to their long list of
misfortunes.
