Money That Talks.-The question OF
protection against counterfeit. bank
notes is one which is being discussed
in England just at present. A member
OF the Royal Society recently showed
the results Of a discovery which he
made, and by this means he is able to
I'M tate copper or steel engraved bank
notes so perfectly that the president OF
large bank was unable to pick The
single genuine bank note out Of a lot
Of ten, which included nine Of the kind
reproduced by the author. This was
intended to show the error Of the pre-
vailing opinion that bank notes cannot
be initiated. ..... ..E ... d,
At the same time that this somewhat
disconcerting news comes out, a new
remedy against counterfeit notes Is
proposed, this being the speaking

the kind be adopted, the note will not
only concern the eye, but will assert its
genuineness in a loud and ineligible

In fact, the note carries a given
phrase, which is inscribed on the edge
just as on a phonograph cylinder, using
a specially prepared paper for this
purpose. Any kind Of phrase can nat
urally be used. and its purport is Of nc
little Importance, as 1t is designed SIM
ply to have a check upon the quality
Of the bank note by the use Of the
voice.
: All that Is needed is to put the note
into a properly designed phonograph
when 1t will speak for itself, according
to the present idea, while counterfeit
remains silent. The method is certain
ly an original one, but it would not
seem a very hard matter to counterfeit
the phonograph record as well as the
note itself.-Scientific American.

OLD BROAD CREEK CHURCH.
1t is In Ruins Now, Vet Washington
Once Worshiped There.

Within eight miles from the national
capitol at Washington is an old church
which was built in 1894. Its parish
was founded even before that. Very
few people have ever heard of this old
church, for the simple reason that for
the past fifty years the place has been
falling to rack and ruin.
1t is famous church. and in the
early days it was a well known parish.
for it was the first that was founded
near the city of Washington. OF late
years the old families have all moved
away, and their children have had in
terests elsewhere. They have all for
gotten the little old church where their
ancestors worshiped
1t was this church Of st. Johns that
George Washington attended on his
frequent visits to its side of the river.
A few years back those old parishion-
ers who could remember their fathers
stories of having seen Washington row
ed by his slaves over from Mount Yer
non to service there, put on Washing
tons pew in the old church silver
plate as Il memorial TO him.
The old graveyard is overgrown with
honeysuclle. but beneath the masses
of vine there are many famous old
Maryland people buried.
The church itself is a curious old
structure. 1t is nearly square and the
bricks. which are of exceptional size,
were imported from England. The
hardware was also imported.
There is no chancel at all in the
church. There is a place where the
altar should be that is set apart from
the church by small rail. At one
time there was a great high pulpit but
this was taken out by some rector who
thought that it was unnecessary
