IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Vice Admiral Andrew T. Long, D. s. N., who has gone to Constantinople to direct the operations of the United States naval force in Turkish waters, Is regarded as an ideal man for such an assignment, since his past service in the navy has included considerable -experi- ence in the field of diplomacy. A native of North Carolina, Admiral Long, began his career in 1887 with his graduation from Annapolis. In the war with Spain he saw active service on the cruiser Minneapolis. Since then, in addition to the routine duties of his calling, he has served as naval attache at Rome and Vienna. From 1so5 to 1907 he was in command of the presidential yacht May flower and in 1909 he was on duty at the office of naval intelligence. In the early period of the World war he was superintendent of naval auxiiiaries. Then he commanded in turn the battle ships Connecticut and Nevada, before becoming comnapder-in-ehief of, the At lantic fleet.

CROSSING FATALITIES

As you recall the fatalities at ts1is or that grade crossing you are undouoted- ly disposed to think that the very cir cumstances surrounding those affairs should be sufficient warning to all oth- CTS to bring about quick end to aecs- dents of that character. From the way in which they oontanue to figure in the news of the day it is quite evident that spch a suppositon is unwsrranted Those who have gone through the lex- perienee and live may exert more eau tion in the future, but those who have only read about what others have done seem tc clamor for that personal touch which means taking chances with death.
 Accidents at railroad crossings woald seem to be sufficiently horrible to make drivers anxious to prevent them. That they do not is indicated by the fact that n the national campaign for greater care at crossings there has been shown an increase of 30 per cent in crossing accidents during the first three months over the same period of last year,
 It Is true that the numher of arto- mobiles has greatly increased, but here Is a condition which has grown vo-se at a time when increased efforts were being made to surround the greater number of auto drivers with increased safety. If the increase in the number of autos is being accompanied by a 30 per cent. increase in careleasness by ths users of the highways the situation i indeed booming much more serious than might otherwise be believed. The desf-s for speed and the ladk of resDAet for fho rights of others seem to totzsls eelipsc Inc fact that the individual driver has q most responsible duty to perform in 4n. turing the safety of self and others h Inc highway

FINGERPRINTING.

More and more importance has been attached each year to fngerprinttng. It provides a means of Identification which is infallable. The fingerprints of no two persons are alike and consequently the value of such prints in establishing the identity of an individual is great.
 With a view to getting the benefit of hngerprinting to a much greater extent than is now secured, it has been recom- rnended by a committee of the chamber of commerce of New York state that the system should be made compulsory for all aliens and that there should be per- nissive fngerprinting for everyone else. The idea is one that will call forth g variety of opinions.
 As to the benefit of such a plan there can be no question. Tho matter of iden- tifcation is important. There are banks which now require it of depositors to ln- sure the protection of their money and Go make it impossible for others to draw on their account. This is especially val uable in connection with foreigners and strangcrs. There are likewise cities which require that all residents must be hngerpriHted. and it is boast made in connection herewith that 1t is possible 10 give the name and address of the person whose fingerprint is submitted five minutes after it is received.
 Many are the instances where it is lm- possible to ten who persons suffering from aphasia, sickness or mental trou- 5le arc. Likewise it is frequently the case that persons found dead cannot be identified for a number of days and ia many instances never. It doesn't mean that fingerprints would prevent all such eases but it can be appreciated that it would furnish the means of clearing up more of them.
 The one great opposition to finger print is the fact that 1t is used in con nection with criminal cases. Because it is of immense value in that connection doesn't justify the feeling that, there is any disgrace to be attached to such a system. On the other hand if it can be of value in one direction there are ex- cellent reasons for believing that it can in others.

OUR MONETARY SYSTEM EXPLAINED

gether in one powerful organization under the supervision of the federal reserve board at Washingtnn There are now nearly 10000 banks in this organization. | The country is divided into twelve dis | triets. in each of which is central insti- 1 tuition, known as the federal reserve bank, | which does no banking business with the | public, but only with the ether banks. l Federal reserve notes, isEued under this | plan. are free from restriction. imposed by laws upon national bank notes, of be- ing secured by deposits of government bonds, and thsy thus provide more elastic paper eurrency-ene that ex- bands and contracts more readily in ac- cord4nce with the needs of business They are secured, however, { by deposits of gold and of commercial paper. Some Money Facts-The minttng of money is described at length Following are some of the many interesting facts revealed:
 Metal used for coinage Is hardened with copper, the-gatio being one to nine. The milling" or raised edge around the coin is put there to protect the de- sign from abrasion. ~
 The edges of the coins are 'notehed to
 make it difficult for a, lawbreaizer to file away small amounts of metal
 One hundred and seventy-fve tons pressure are required in the stamping of gold coin f5o pounds for silver. -s Sweepings at the hints are saved and
 burned, and the gold and silver in them thus recovered. At Philadelphia this sav- ing amounts to approximately $1e,0oofa year. ~-'-i-- Paper upon which government notes
 are printed is made at private mill in
 Massachusetts. from a secret formula. It contains f1bers of eelere6, silk as a. guard against counterfeiting. Unauthorized pos E Ssion of it is a penal, ,offense. An eiabs crate system accounts for every sheet of it, and imitation of it is puniShable under the law.
 The engraving of . design from which bills are printed takes over six months. Notes are printed, from replicas; nevee from the original plate. The preparation of a piece of paper money takes about thirty days during which time it is
 counted more than fifty times.
 What Happens to old Bfns-Of the vast amount of paper turned into the treasury for redemption, part Is reissued
 and the rest destroyed. Shreds of money
 have been rescued from a threshing ma
 chine, a cows stomach, and various other
 odd places If enough fragments can be
 assembled to make thrte-fifths Of bill, it is redeemed at full face value; if be-
 tween two-fifths and three-ffths, at half
 value. Any smaller fragment is not re-
 deemed unless proof Is presented that the rest was destroyed.
 Bills to be destroyed are counted and
 made up in packages which are then sliced in two. lengthwise, after which the
 half-sheets are counted separately. The : notes finally go to the "macerator," 2 , huge steel globe, in which they are
 ground into wet pulp. The lid of the macerator is locked with three locks, the
 keys of which are kept by three treasury
 officials. It is opened every morning tt receive condemned currency.

When attention was called to the fact that American ships were carrying and selling beyond the three-r1ile limit it was evident that unless there was something that would show t to be legal and not in opposition to the dry aaw a change would have to be made. American -ves- sels are American territory wherever they happen to be, whether it is inside or outside of the three mile limit
 The excuse for the szae of liquor on them Is that they are h competition with vessels of other countless and n order to prevent the driving cf passen- gers to other lines sales should be per mftted outside the three-miIe limit. That would be treating them no differently outside territorial limits than others are treated within.
 According however to the decision which has just been rendered by Attor- hey General Dzugherty the transpcrta- 1 ton and sale of liquor on American ships is illegal and that the same applies to foreign vessels within the territorial limits of this country. That is the in- terpretation of the law by the head oi the department of justice. It fs dec.s- ion that was to be expected if the pro hfbition law is to get the same atten- ton on water as on land.
 There has been no effort to say what foreign vessels should do outside of the three-mile limit, except to have the H. quor limit fixed at twelve miles, but now it is set forth that they are violating tho law when they bring liquor within three rnssAa Tr xriazv aS tha fa>f that ffA seal ed bars have been permitted within thai 1 territory in the past it doesn't appear that the attorney generals ruling would upset that situation, even though 1t wal that which created the idea that Am ar; can vessels ought not to be expected t do any different.

The Anchor.

Which hope we have as anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that whhin the veil.-Heb. 6-1s.
 In these times when doubts arc 60 painfully preyalent-doubts of the in spiration of the Bible, doubts of the fu- ture life, or the wisdom of Gods provi- dences, or the success of His gospel there is nothing that will stand but a firm hold on Christ. 'T know whom I hays beqieyed'' held Paul. It will hold you and me. We do not see what holds vessel when the storm is smiting her; 1; and in like manner, when child of God is assailed by doubts or adversities, or Satanic temptations, we do not see what it is that holds him that he is not | moved as others are. But God sees an anchor sure and steady, down in the ss- 9et depths of his soul. It fastens him to ornnipotence.
 There is danger which sometimes proves far greater than the storms of adyersity, or the assaults of enemies. It | is from the stealthy undereurrent of temptation. An unanehored vessel maJ | be lying on a calm water as smooth as glass, and yet. before the shipmaster is aware the Keel may strike a hidden rocki Had wind began to blow, the master would have taken the alarm; the | undercurFept was slowly drifting and he did not heed the danger.
 l So are thousands of professed. Chris tians carried on the rocks, not by tenn l pests or trials, but by the strong and 1 invisible currents of temptation. One church member drifts into neglect ef prayer, or into iaxity in regard to Sab undercuTrept of social customs; if swings him, slowly but surely, away from spiritual life; no sudden shock
 is felt, but when we look for this pro- fessed Christian where he used to be and where he ought 10 be, he Is not there. When the world got hold of the
 keel, the anchor had lost hold on Christ I and so the man began to drift. Whai
 we call "baeksliding" Is really the drift
 heart, is not anchored
 It is not strength of brain that saves 8 man, or orthodoxy of creed or con
 neetion with 2 church. They are not
 proof against the tides of temptation
 These must be firm, hea1en-implanted
 principle; for no one is safe in business
 or in politics, or in social life, or any
 where, when conscience is unloosed
 from God. The parting of the cable may be unseen for while but 1t is a mere
 question of time how soon the 1acksIidel
 may strike the rocks. Christ never en.

 In a report made to the state public welfare commission the fact is brought out that the sheriff of Windham county jail is no longer in a position to hire prisoners out to farmers as formerly owing to the small number in the jail When Secretary Charles P. Kellogg, of the commission, visited the jail this week there were only twenty-thres prisoners in the custody of the jailer and of this num- Der fourteen were bound over prisoners, leaving only nine who. could, be hired out to farulers if they could have been. spared.

 Secretary Kellogg found the prisoners contented with their lot and one or two reported a gain in weight since his deten- ton began. While Secretary KeliogE thinks the prisoners at Wtndham county jail are better fed than those al any other jan in the state the taking on of flesh by a few of them was due more to the fact that they had not exercised enough than to anything else.
