Burning Hundred Dollar Bills.

From the New York Sun
Twenty years ago there was still a
large supply of the paper money issued
by the Confederate government during
the civil war. Today not much of it
is met with and even the confidence
men have to resort to real counterfeits.
What has become of it?
There is a man in Atlanta who can
answer that question, for he has dis
posed of millions of it, Through some
scores of commercial travellers with
whom he was acquainted. he was, for
some years, buying up all the Confed-
crate bills that could be procured, at a
price that seemed to many too high
for what was after all worthless paper.
In turn he sold it to the Edison
Electric Company for good price. For
certain small incandescent lamps which
the Edison people were manufacturing
certain kind of carbon was needed
which could best be obtained from
paper made out of sea grass That
kind of paper is not made any more
But the Confederate money was all
made out of sea grass paper From
this the carbons for the lamps could be
manufactured. Now that the sea grass
paper can no longer be had. bamboo is
being used instead, but it Is not quite
SO good.

What has happened during the 1873

Britain has dispatched a greater part

ing the past week. The Germans have
made several gains and the French
have fallen back to the west of the
Meuse, but the new week begins with
the French in decidedly better strate-
gical position than eight days ago. The
Bethincourt salient into the German
lines, which during the present terrible
battle for the famous French strong
hold has been known as The Sack,
has been forsaken by the French. and
they have Strengthened their line between
Avocourt and Dead Mans hill and Gu
mieres, having forsaken the village of
Bethincourt This position always has
been held a menace to the general
scheme of defense and the withdrawal
of all French forces from this danger
Gus position was to be expected.
Under present conditions the French
occupy positions along this section of
the battle line which mainly are on
high land. To reach them the Germans
must storm up hill and over compare
lively open land. This means that ad-
ditional tens of thousands of German
lives must be sacrificed if the crown
prince is successful In driving the
northwestern flank of the Verdun de-
fensive armies to point where the
evacuation of Nerdun proper will be
necessary. According to French mill
tary experts, even the crown prince,
with his established reputation for
recknessness, will not continue his as
saults in this direction much longer.
That there may be some truth in this
surmse is borne out by events of the
week. The German armies. time and
time again, attacked the new French
lines over a stretch OF thirteen miles
early in the week, notwithstanding the
fact that they were constantly forced
to move against French curtain of
fire. which already has proved decid-
eddy deadly to the assailants of VeEdun.
