Against Counterfets.

Speaking 5anknotes as a Protection
Against Counterfeits.
The question of protection against
counterfeit banknOteS is one which is
being discussed in England just at
present. \ member Of the Royal So
ciety recently showed the results of a
discovery which he made, and by this
means he is able 10 initiate copper or
steel engraved banEnoteS so perfectly
that the president Of II large bank was
unable to pick the single genuine bank
note out of lot of ten, which incmd-
ed nine of the kind reproduced by the
author This was intended to show
the error of the prevailing opinion that
banknOteS cannot he initiated.
At the same time that this some
what diScOnCerting news comes ont II
new remedy against counterfeit notes
is proposed. this being the speaking
banknOte, and should Il system of the
kind be adopted the note will not only
concern the eye. but will assert its
genuineness in loud and Ineligible
voice should it be placed in phonO-
graph.
In fact, the note carries a given
phrase, which is inscribed on the edge
just as on phonOgraph cylinder,
Nusing specially prepared paper for
this purpose. Any kind of phrase can
naturally be used, and its purport is
of little Importance, as it is designed
simply to have a check upon the quail
ty of the banknote by the use of the
voice.
All that is needed is to put the note
AltO n properly designed phonograph,
when it will speak for itself, according
to the present idea. While counter
felt remains silent, The method is
certainly an original one, but it would
not seem very hard matter to coun-
terfeit the phonograph record as well
as the note itself.-Scientitic American.
