WHY DO MEN BECOME COUNTERFEITERS?
(New York World)

Has anyone ever made a fortune by counterfeiting money? Has any counterfeiter, indeed, ever made living comparable with what he might have earned by the exercise of a simi- lar degree of skill and industry?
 The question is prompted by the seizure by Secret Service agents of an elaborate plant on Staten Island. ap- parently designed for the manufacture of bogus Treasury notes and silver certificates. The equipment included an expensive photographic apparatus, Photographic and other presses. etch- ing, engraving and electrotyping out fits and supplies of costly paper and ink. It embraced, in fact, all the fit tings of a complete printing and pho to-engraving business. In the hands of men of honest Industry, with far less technical skill than that required to run the plan successfully on illegi- innate lines, it could have been made to yield an immediate income and could probably have been developed into a lucrative business.
 As it is, the costly machinery is coffiscated before operations are be- gun. It is O trite saying that crime does not pay. But is there any branch of crime less profitable in the long run, and as measured by the tal- ent and preparation needed for 1t, than counterfeiting? Burglary necessitates no apprenticeship. But counterfeit CT must be a skilled workman, to be- gin with, and once embarked on his nefarious calling he is suspected, not alone by the tradesmen who change his bad bills for him but by the most efficient of detective institutions, the government Secret Service. From the time he first falls into the clutches of the law until he dies he is watch ed, and the amount of money he can make and circulate under the most favorable conditions is negligible by comparison with what he might earn honestly.
 Why men should aspire to be coun- terfeiters while possessing a skill that is readily marketable for excellent wages is one of thes mysteries of hu- man nature. Does 8 perverted pride of craftsmanship of the old order sur- fvive in the counterfeiter and actuate him in the error of his ways?

of the very few diversions.

of the very few diversions.
 In our times there has been a re- vival of interest in all forms of na- ture study. The fields and woods are full of girls with opera glasses and bird guide books. You find them in rural walks analysing roadside flow CTS with botany text book. At night you see some of them in lonely coun- try roads or city squares, with heads craned to deAect the mysterious groups that the ancients marked and named as consultations.
 Scientific research has made astron- omy a much more interesting study. The operation of orbits and eclipses and seasons has all the fascination of any finely built and smooth run ings of that mechanism gives one a most marvellous sense of the infinite wisdom, skill, and power of the crea- tive intelligence.
 The study of such nature subjects as astronomy is a wholesome occupa- ton in this restless age. People are never excluded from it by lack of money. The pursuit can be followed in the remotest prairie village, and by the loneliest dweller in the great cities. Every star, bird, or flower identified becomes a lasting friend, whose periodical appearance is one of the landmarks of life. Those who are weary of the fret and strife of modern living should cultivate these peaceful and rewarding stydies.
