Banknotes made In prison forms the
recent astounding discovery made at
the prison in Peterhead, Aberdeen
shire, the largest convict establish
ment in Scotland. For some time
tradesmen in the district have been
defrauded by counterfeit Bank of Eng
land notes, and the police were
puzzled and baffied. Two Scotland
yard detectives were despatched to
Peterhead, and their investigations
show that the counterfeit notes eman-
ated from the prison, where they were
made by convicts. The convicts, af-
ter making the notes, passed them to
workmen, who were building a break
water in the vicinity, and received in
exchange tobacco and other articles.
The spurious notes were cleverly made
on paper that had been used in wrap
ping butter supplies for the prison. So
far, the police have failed to discover
the men who actually circulated the
notes. The prison contains 400 con-
victs at present, including about a
score Of well known forgers.

A striking warning against the

At one of these narrow points a

Sink Or Swim.

A correspondent commenting upon a
recent case involving the age and
quality of eggs which came before the
supreme court, remarks: 1t is un-
doubtedly true that the most certain
way to determine the question is for
the court to break and smell of each
egg in the 443 cases seized; but, as
this method may require more time
than the court can well devote to the
case, having other grave (smelling)
questions to determine, I suggest that
the court adopt the rule which the old
woman insisted never failed to guide
her in testing eggs. She said: 'Tn
order to tell whether an egg is good
or bad, you take some warm water
not too warm, but just nice and warm
and put the egg In it, small end up.
and if it's good egg, it will either
sink or SWIM" And she didn't remem-

Will Keep Cross Clean.

Now that the cross above St. Paul's
has been regilded it is not likely to be
allowed again to gather the accumula-
tons of London's smoky atmosphere.
Hydrants have been placed in the Ian
tern below the ball and cross, and by
means of high-pressure supply they
will be utilized periodically to clean
the golden cross. The hydants have
been introduced as a result of an ex-
pertinent last year, when it was found
that two powerful motor fire engines,
coupled together, were unable to throw
water from the ground level to the top
of the dome with sufficient force to be
of any use in case of fire. Dry mains
have now been laid to considerable
height, with outlets at different points,
and from these the firemen will work
should the necessity arise, the engines
being coupled to the other ends of the
mains.
