Burning Bank Notes

bank notes life averages 6s days. Once the Bank of England receives d note back from the public it is never put into circulation again. The moment it Is accepted across the counter the cash matically becomes cancelled. says Tit Bits. At the end of one day a heap of signatures weighing 20 pounds has sometimes accumulated.
 The mutilated notes are kept at the bank for five years, and are then burnt in furnace. This expensive bonfire consumes 42,000 notes per week, and the five years supply of redeemed notes waiting to be burnt totals about 9o.0Oo,- o60.
 To balance this, however. 6o,ooo notes arc printed daily. and the values of the nctes in circulation at any one time is rarely less than 30O00,000 sterling
 Fourteen different ways of distinguish Ing good note from a forgery are known to the bank officials, but some Of these tests are carefully guarded and are not divulged even to the cashiers of other banks
 termark provide the simplest tests The raper making has always been in the lands of one particular firm, and great precautions are taken to keep it's com position secret cashier can tell genuine note in the dark, simply by the feel of it. The notes edges also provide a good test Three are rougt, and one smooth, the reason being that hank notes are printed in couples and separated by a guillotine afterwards One of the bottom corners of the not. Is also thinner than the other.

London to Haue Up-to-Date An1bu1arces
i. hospital bed within 10 minutes.

a hospital bed within 10 minutes.
 The progressive London county coun- cil, however, is still scared of the expense. It has decided to install a service Of motor ambulances, it is true, but it is a service that might be adequate for new Canadian city, or boom town in Amer ica. For London, with it's population @f nearly 6000,00o people and its area stretch ing nearly 20 miles from north to south and an equal distance from east to west. the London county council proposes to provide six ambulances, three of which are to be stationed south of the Thames and three north of the river. Each am bulance is to have driver and one at tendant, who is to be trained in first aid"-but no doctor-and there is to be no system of call boxes. Instead, it is suggested that when an ambulance is needed tn epolice should go to the nearest telephone and call up the central ambu- lance station which will then transmit the call to. the nearest ambulance.
 It Is naively suggested that house. holders will be glad to allow the police to use their telephones for. this work of mercy and will display signs outside their houses stating that their phones are available. It is true that in the absence of call boxes some such scheme will be absolutely necessary for nearly all the public telephones In London, outside the hotel and theatre district are in the branch postoffices which are closed from s D. m to a. m A few ''penny-in- the slot' telephone boxes are provided at railway stations but they are nearly ~tl& erwise out of order
 It is estimated that the whole cost of this precious system will be about s50,- 900 a year and the London county coun- cl proposes to spend the munificent sum of S270oo in starting and equipping it. This works out at about ons-shird of cent a year for each of the inha bitants of London.
 Statistics of street accidents which have just been issued by the home office show that in London, excluding the city, last year there were 579 fatal and 1s,365 non-fatal street accidents. The London county council estimates that its new sfnbulances will be called on about 30,- 900 times a year That means that each of its six ambulances would have to an-
 
 of the accidents occur at well defined and restricted periods of the day they will be kept fairly busy
 Much of the credit for inducing the London county council to move even as far as it has done is due to Dr. Natchel of Paris, who is a recognized world authority on ambulance work. He organized the ambulance in Paris during the commune and is great admirer of the ambulance system of New York.
 Tn 1SS0," he said recently, "I read paper before the Paris Academy of Medicine on the New York amb ulance system. My paper was brought to the notice of the English public by several articles which appeared British Medical Journal in the same year or in 1881, and in 1882 In the following years I made many efforts to interest the London au- thorities. but although much sympathy was shown, practically no progress was made towards the desired end.

the motto over his office building in Hamburg: My Field is the World
 When Ballin joined the Hamburg-Amer- ica the capital was s7,500,O00. When Bal lin's silver jubilee came in 1911 it was s37. .O00,O00 In 1886 the largest of the Ham burg-America ships had a tonnage of S96s. The modern Inperator could store this ship on it's deck. The big firm of Blohm & Yoss is now constructing the "Vaterland," for the Hamburg line, with 5s.000 tons burden Among shipping com- panies the Hamburg America line is first Financially. In 1902 at about the time when the Morgan shipping trust was starting on its unprofitable career, the Hamburg paid AZ per cent It now pays 10 per cent. Only in one intervening year did it pass it's dividend. This was in 1s0S-as a result of the American crisis. In 1913 the actual profits of the Ham, burg-America were 40 per cent.
 Ballin achieved these triumphs because he is essentially a fighting man. He fought in the right direction-with his friends. With rivals he has always been against cut-throat methods. That was why his recent termination of the Atlantic pool caused such surprise. When necessary to fight he has fought-wit- ness the eight months struggle in 1903 with the Cunard line, in which Ballin easily came off best. The history of the Hamburg America is series of agree ments and conciliation. As Ballln hlanched out into enterprises he always took measures to secure their future by agreements with other lines. Gold terms were kept with the North German Lloyd the Hamburg-America' only German competitor for the transatlantic traffic Aallins cumulative abilities were directed against his own drones and obstruction ists. That is, men in the Hamburg Amer ica itself. Until 1900 when he became nndsputed chief of the company. every one of his measures for the Hamburg greatness was distrusted and opposed Opposition faced his plan to build big and fast ships for the transatlantic traf- fic. his plan for the magnificent emi- grant station and homes at Hamburg and his incursion into the tourist business. Some enterprises were delayed for years owing to the obstinacy and lack of imag- ination of the Hamburg. directors. Ballin beat them.
 Ballin always came out on top be- cause, more than any other European, he studies the trend of world commerce and world politics. The study of these things Is his chief recreation. Balin is a great reader of economical literature with an enormous store of facts and doc trines as to the course of world trade and finance, the cycles of prosperity and depression and the causes of crises. A large staff of experts in the Hamburg America line office is engaged in col- lecting and collating material for this. Ballin never gets caught at loss. Ex- traordinafy provision is made for future development of trade in every country visited by the companys ships. When Ballin was urged by Kaiser Wilhelm to publish in book form the result of his studies on the question of cycles of com mercial depression. he refused He de- clared that the time spent and the ma terial which had led him to certain con- clusions were the property of the Ham

American Line will be put at the dis posal of the navy department. In pay ment for this Ballin has refused state burg-American Line could easily get a burg-America Line could easily get a large state subsidy. It's English rival,
 the cunard Line, gets subsidy of s750,- o0O from the British treasury for much smaller services. Prince Henry of Prus- sia said that Ballin's greatest service is that he has shown Germans the value of independence of state aid. Ballin has been offered the rank of nobility, which Is given to many less distinguished Ger mans. This he refused. An autographed photograph from Kaiser Wilhelm is all he has to show as the fruit of 15 years of intimacy. Kaiser Wilhelm appreciates this. He practically makes Little Tots dam'-so the natives call Ballins villa his headquarters when he visits Ham burg. This causes trouble with anti-Sem-
