ingenious Methods of Detection Em.
 pieysd by the Export.

PsVySo " s"S @~RSsSs
 Most ingenious means are nowa- days employed in the detection of forgery. It is a very clever forger indeed who can deceive the up to date expert in chirography.
 As has been pointed out by Sand berg, the expert may put a juror to the proof that out of dozen sigma lures of his own name no two will be alike in general form. Then the expert may turn to the authentic and forged signatures in almost any case and show to the layman that the first question of forgery arose from the fact that these two sigma lures are at first glance identically alike almost to the minutest detail. The forger has been too skillful. He has held to the old principle of copying the authentic signature that he has at hand, and the con- sequence is that the more nearly he can reproduce the signature in every proportion the more readily can the forgery be proved.
 4 most significant fact upon which the expert may base his in vestigations of possible forgery is that every one has his "pen scope" This technical term describes the average stretch of paper that one may cover without lifting the pen from the paper and shifting the hand to continue the line.
 In the case of signature it should be. one of the easiest and least studied group of words that the writer should be called upon to put upon paper. In writing a letter, for instance, the pen scope through out may exhibit an average stretch of one inch for the text of the let ter. while in the signature the whole length of the name. twice as long, may be covered. But if the writer covers the full stretch of his name in this way the expert may prove bv the shorter pen scope of the copyist that the studied copy is d forgery on it's face. for. however free of stroke the forger may natu- rally be, his effort to produce fac simile of another's signature will render his scope shorter than that of the original signer.
 A common means of reproducing a signature is to place the original signature on a piece of glass. lay another piece of glass on top of it and flsten the paper that is to re- ceive the forgery on top of that. Then by holding the glass strips to a bright light the original sigma ture casts a shadow through. and this may be traced in pencil. From this the ink forgery is made. When. however, forgery accomplished by this means is placed under strong magnifying glass it will not pass muster. If the original has strong down stroke on the capital letters the movement will be free and will leave the pen lines with smooth edges. The individual who is trac- ing such letters cannot trust him self to the same free movement of the pen. and the result shows under the glass hesitancv and uncertainty. -Harper's Weekly.

 "They helped me to make lhis building pOssiblc,' he said. "Thr business from which this buiId- ing has grown began with a five cent piece.

 "Therc has been much sprcu- lallon as to the height of the building. When Cass Gilbert ask ed how high the building could go. 1 told him about 75O feet. iie wanted to know if that was the limit. told him it was the min imum. When l returned from Europe last summer and asked how high he had made it. he re- piled:
 "'l can't tell within a few inch es, but it is about 787 feet Well, put a corps of engineers to work measuring it, and they found that the Park Place corner to the top of the tower, was 79I feet and l-2 inch: the Barclay street corner is !792 feet; Broadway front 79I.6: Park Place entrance 1885, mak- ing an average of 1921. It is 9f7 feet above sea level at high tide. This structure is due to the efforts of Cass Gilbert, who has brought into commcrrialism the arI> of beauty"
 Replying to Mr. Wonlwnrth, Cas~ Gilbert said:
 i This building and the sue cess its owner shows that this is lhr lanu # equal upportuni- ties: that a man may start with
