HOW
COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES
AI!E CLEVERLY DETECTED.—
The old fashioned stereoscope,
which before the days of the mo
tion pictures adorned the table in
the parlor of nearly every medi
um class American home, is still
used In the detection of counter
feit bank and federal reserve notes,
according to M. ,7. Julian, dlrecl >r
of the Better Vision Institute, of
New York city. The stereoscope,
he explained, Is nn optical Instru
ment In which two photographs of
the same object, or of the same
scene, taken from a few feet npart,
are viewed. Each eye sees one pic
ture in the stereoscope. The slight
dissimilarity of pictures causes an
illusion of depth, or solidity, in the
resultant picture seen through the
stereoscope.
When two banknotes printed
from the same plate are viewed
through a stereoscope, each eye
sees a figure Identical to that seen
by the other eye. This combina
tion of figures Is perfect, nnd the
plane of the combined Images Is '
flat. But if one of the banknotes
under examination Is bogus, the
figures seen by both eyes do not
coincide, nnd slight variations nre
npparent Such differences show
up as wavy lines or spots. In this
way even the most skillfully coun
terfeited bill may be detected at a
glance.
Besides detection of bogus
money, the stereoscope has other
Important uses, one of which Is In
aerial military photography. If two
pictures are taken In an airplane
at points about 50 feet apart, and
after developing the photographs
are placed in a stereoscope, the
depth is magnified so greatly that
many works of the enemy can be
detected.

How Time Is Figured on
Vessels That Ply Ocean
Time Is announced on shipboard
by striking a bell every hair hour.
To be able to tell the time of day by
bells, one must know what watch It
Is. According to the system used In
the United States navy, the 24 hours
of the day are divided Into six
watches, as follows:
first watch, 8 p. m. to midnight;
midwatch, midnight to 4 a. m,;
morning watch, 4 a. m. to 8 a. m.;
forenoon watch, 8 a. m. to noon; aft
ernoon watch, noon to 4 p. m., and
the dog watch. 4 p. m. to 8 p. m.
The bells are struck as follows: 12
o’clock noon, eight bells; 12:30 p. m.,
one bell; 1 p. m., two bells; 1:30
p. m., three bells; 2 p. m„ four bells;
2:30 p. m., five bells; 3 p. m„ six
bells; 3:30 p. m., seven bells; 4 p. m.,
eight bells; 4:30 p. m., one bell; 5
p. m„ two bells; 5:30 p. m„ three
bells, and so on through all of the
six watches of four hours each.
How Old Bible May Be
It Is Impossible to ascertain the
precise age of the Bible. The Old Test
ament Is, according to tradition and be
lief, a record of the history of the Jew
ish race, with its laws, regulations
prophecies and much of its early lit
erature. It also contains the Jewish
account of the creation. It Is supposed
to have been compiled and canonized
about 100 B. C. The New Testament
is a record of the coming to earth of
Jesus Christ, the son of God, His sac
rifice and offer of redemption, and a
program of life looking to salvation, by
the Apostles and followers. This was
canonized about 325 A. D. at the Coun
cil of Nlcnea.
How American* Like Bermuda
An American consul at Hamilton,
Bermuda, says that 42.807 first class
passengers from the United States vis
ited Bermuda during the calendar year
1932 on the regular liners. In addi
tion there were 29.324 passengers on
cruise ships visiting Bermuda Inst
year, so that the total number of
American visitors can safely be said
to be more than 70,000. While the con
sulate could not give a figure about
the expenditures, other estimates place
the amount from $S,000,000 to $10,
000,000.

SILVER
Some Pertinent Facts Relating
To Bimetallism.
By William A. Hesse.
(Third Installment)
In the year 1840 during the
monetary debates in Congress
the illustrious Henry Clay
made the following observat
ions :
“The proposed substitution of
an exclusive metallic currency
to the mixed medium with
which we have been so long
familiar, is forbidden by the
principles 'of eternal justice.
All property will be reduced in
value to one-third of its pres
ent nominal amount, and every
debtor would, in effect, have
to ipay three times as much as
he contracted for. The press
ure of our foreign debt would
be three times as great as it i.>;
while the six hundred millions,
which is the sum now probably
due the banks from the people,
would be multiplied to eight
een hundred millions! If cur
rency be greatly diminished,
how is this debt to be exting
uished? Property, the re
source on which the debtor re
lied for payment, will decline
in value, and it may happen
that a man who honestly con
tracted a debt on the faith of
property which had a value at
the time, fully adequate to
wairant the debt, will find i
himselif stripped of all his
property and his debt remain
ing unextinguished. . . . But
if this policy of money be injur
ious to the debtor class it is still
more disastrous on the laboring
classes.”
On the third day of October,
1873, nearly eight months af
ter he had signed the fraudu
lent demonetization bill uncon
scious of what he did, President
Grant wrote to his friend, Mr.
Cowdry, in which he said:
“I Wonder why it (silver) is
not already coming into the
market to supply the deficiency
in the circulating medium. . .
. . . Silver will gradually
take the place of currency, »nd
[further, will become the sta id
up water wtrn a sponge anu squeeze
it out you are performing almost the
same process the living sponge goes
through In feeding. Through countless
tiny openings It sucks In water. As
this circulates through the animal's
canal system minute food particles
contained in the water are absorbed.
The surplus wnter Is then expelled.
How Reflectors Are Polished
Lamp reflectors should not be
cleaned except when absolutely neces
sary, as they are often silver-plated
and easily spoiled. To clean reflectors
use a very soft, cleun cloth or pow
dered dry rouge and a chamois skin,
without using pressure and rub In a
circular motion. If a reflector becomes
tarnished or scratched take it to a sil
ver-plater nnd have It buffed. It can
not he properly polished In any other
way.
How Funeral Flowers Started
The funeral wreath is believed to
be a survival of the. belief tlmt de
parted spirits must be provided with
comforts. The custom of using flow
ers at funerals is very ancient. The
Egyptians adorned their mummies
with flowers and the mourners car
ried them.
ard of values, which will be
hoarded in a small way. . . .
I confess to a desire to see a
limited hoarding of money, but
I want to see a hoarding of
something that is the standard
of value the world over. Silver
is this.”
It was felt at the time by
President Grant that the count
ry which was burdened with an
immense debt and prostrate
from the effects of the Civil
War would soon resume a spec
ie basis and recover rapidly as
a result. He did not dream
that he had signed a bill de
stroying the very thing that
was our only hope for salvat
ion.
On October 2, 1893, •-'on.
James H. Kyle on the floor of
the United States Senate said:
“There is almost a revolution
today, Mr. President, through
tampering with the monetary
standards. The people protest
against the attempt to bring
the country and the world t-* a
gold standard. . . .It has
been proven, I think, that sil
ver is less variable than gold,
and therefore should be pre
served as a measuring stand
ard.”
It has been asked, if the de
monetization cf silver threat
ened disaster in 1893, why
then did that disaster not over
take us? The answer to that
question is very simple. The
discovery of the great South
African gold mines, the dis
covery of the Klondike gold
fields, the discovery of the gold
ores of Cripple Creek, to say
nothing of the discovery of the
cyanide process for the recov
ery of gold from ores, turned
a stream of gold into the chan
nels of trade. It was this alone
that averted a disaster at that
time. Bimetallism is not an
American institution. Silver
and gold together have served
mankind efficiently and faith
fully as standards of value for
five thousand years.
Let us see what some of the
world’s greatest thinkers out
side of America have had to
say about this.
