AMERICAN BANKNoTEs.
Harder to counterfeit Than Those Of
ANY Other Nation.

An official of the treasury department
says that not only do American en-
gravers of banknotes excel all others
In the artistic quality of their designs,
but that they likewise excel in the in
genuity of their provisions against
counterfeiting.
Jacob Perkins Of Newburyport,
Mass. invented the method of trans
ferring designs from hardened steel
plates to steel cylinders and of retrans-
ferring to fat plates, thus enabling the
engraver to devote the time necessary
to accomplish his best work In the
original and reproduce it at will. Asa
another instrument. the geometric
lathe. which renders difficult the sue
eessful counterfeiting of paper money.
Most European governments depend
for the protection of their paper mon
ey upon color work Several of the
gineers in their bureaus of engraving
and printing. a proceeding that puz-
pies American experts, who cannot see
the connection between engineering
and engraving. Many Italian bank
notes are easy to counterfeit. A few
years ago the Bank Of Spain was obllg-
ed to abandon its own plant, since its
notes were initiated so successfully
that the counterfeits were without
question accepted by the bank itself. A
private concern now does the work.
The Bank Of Greece employs the
American method, having suffered
sad experience with notes Of German,
Austrian and English make.
The American experts do not hold to
the popular notion abroad that the
notes Of the Bank of England cannot
be counterfeited. They contend that
these famous notes can be initiated
readily enough, for little attempt Is
made to protect them beyond the use
of watermarked paper.
One practical safeguard Of great ef-
fectiveness is the custom OF the Bank
OF England of canceling every note
that Is retuTaru 10 the bank and issu-
ing another in its place. This and the
practice of keeping record OF the
numbers Of all banknotes used in ev-
cry business establishment keep alive
a keen sense OF responsibility, which
adds to security .-Philadelphia Record.

Madagascar is the home of the cha

We, the People.

The phrase, I'VE, the people Of the
United States" In the preamble OF the
constitution read In the first draft Of
the constitution as follows: I'VE, the
people of New Hampshire. Massachu-
sets. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Maryland, Virginia, North Car
olina. South Carolina and Georgia. do
ordain, declare and establish etc.
Though unanimously adopted by the
convention, the wording had to be
changed to I'VE, the people," simply
because the constitution, which had
not as yet been ratified, was to go into
effect when ratified by nine states. and
not knowing which states were to rat
ify, the naming Of the states was. OF
course. out of the question.
