HOW SLEUTHS MARK MONEY
Currency Gives Evidence That
Usually Convicts.

In their surveillance and apprehen-
sion of suspected persons government
secret service officers often find It
necessary to make the money" ham
died by such persona There are va
rious methods of 90 making the ma
tonal currency, one OF the most novel
Of which Il tho pinpYick.
The note to be marked ID, say, the
S. silver certificate bearing the VI
gnette Of an Indian chief in his full re-
gala Of feathers and trappings and
presenting a full-face view. With the
aid Of pin the secret service man
makes two punctures In the bill d.
rectly in the pupils Of the Indians
eyes. To the casual and sometimes
even critical inspector of the note
these pinpricks are invisible. If raised
to the light, however, the bill will
distinctly reveal them
The markings are complicated by
the following process: The pinpoint
is applied in the twist" Of the large
figure s at the two upper corners Of
the note. These tiny twists do not ap-
pear in the "necks' of the two fg-
ures that are at both ends Of the
bottom of the note. The note is now
pierced again, this time in the ends
of the scrolls on each side of the word
five" in the lower center of the bill.
The marking is now complete. In Sc
cret it is exhibited to one or more per-
sons for purposes of Identification and
is then placed in the till or money
drawer to which the suspected person
has access.
1t is said that the pinpricks win re-
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their markings are explained under
oath, conviction is practically certain

PInIoned, Saved by Penknife.

Caught beneath a falling tree,
Thomas J. Todd, farmer, near Fed
eralsburg, Nd, had a narrow escape
from being crushed to death. He was
passing through woods on his farm
when a large tree suddenly fell, knock
ing him down and pinioning him be-
meath it.
Realizing his perilous position, with
no help near, he reached in his pocket
and managed to get his knife. Lying
on his back, undergoing severe pain,
he cut down two saplings and with the
prongs Of these, after an hours work,
succeeded in prying the tree on his
lower limbs far enough to let him
squeeze out.
He was brought to q physician In
fredericksburg and his wounds dressed.

Combating Gas Fumes.

Tho armies Of the allies are using
sponges or gauze soaked with some
solution to absorb the chlorine and
bromine gases employed by the Ger
mans In trench warfare. Ordinary
"hypo." or sodium thiosulphate, is
widely used for this purpose and it
gives generally good results except
that the reaction between the hypo
and the chlorine or bromine ltberates
some hydrochloric and sulphuric acid.

To Supply British Juror Shortage.

How Is the shortage of jurors occa-
stoned by the war to be remedied? Sir
George Lewis proposes, in cont ou-
ton to the Law Journal, the imme-
date adoption Of the recommend tsn
made by Lord Mersey's committee tat
the right to trial oy jury shou se
restricted. The committee. or rather
the majority of its members, proposed
that the question whether an action
should be tried by jury, except az ac-
ton affecting personal character,
should be determined by judge.
Thus the supply Of jurymen would be
made sufficient by reducing the de-
mand upon their services.--LondoA
