Is ooe thing which ^CSflet ee' will point to ja-ben (key say conn terf eft lug Ik yea IIy an amazingly simple undertaking. Yet Arthub Taylor and Baldwin S. BredelL expm engravers and ciiemlsta of no mean ability, bit upon a device for duplicating tbe currency of the land that marked a new epoch In tbe history of counterfeiting In tbla country. In nlddle nineties at the Philadelphia eaaury one day there turned up a “Monroe" hundred dollar bill on which tbe red weal on tbe face appeared to be altogether too light In color Otherwise tbe bill waa to all tntenls and purpowrs perfect. But It wouldn't go' through with the light red seal, and It was Sent to Washington for examination. There tbe government experts took It. submitted It fare and reverse to every

through say of tbe recognized rymptoma the counterfeit, and finally. aa tbe last resort, split It. to Cod to their great astonishment that tbe “Monti 00 was as a matter of fact tbe ha!res of two one dollar bills which been split, as ooe splits a- bit of btrrb bark, and pasted together again.
