PAPER FOR MONEY.
Extreme Care and Secrecy Used In Its
Manufacture.
The various great nations devote
much study to the Improvement of
their secret processes of manufactur¬
ing paper for money and banknotes,
the principal object being, of course,
to render countei teitwig more and
more difficult.
Our own government guards with
extreme care every detail of the man¬
ufacture of this paper, laying special
importance upon its secret of getting
silk thread into the composition of the
paper itself.
The efforts of this government, how¬
ever, are not uearly so painstaking as
those put forth in making the tiiiusy
paper used for Bank of England notes,
which are probably the fiuest paper
money in the world These notes are
manufactured from Hue Irish linen,
and the peculiar properties of the Tost
water (so called from the river of that
name) produce paper of a purity and
texture unsurpassed. The secret of
the security of the Bank of England
note against forgery and counterfeit¬
ing is said to be entirely in the paper
itself and not in the printing.
In addition, the notes show a water¬
mark so cleverly devised that an ex¬
pert from the mill can tell by a glance
at the date of manufacture the very
name of the employee who made it.
The watermark is produced by a de¬
sign countersunk Id the woven wire
bottoms of the trays in which the hot
paper pulp Is poured and dried. It has
never been successfully imitated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as of every¬
thing in the mill. There Is. of course,
a staff of police constantly In attend
ance and a private wire to police head
quarters, nine miles away.
The watchmen who patrol the mill
corridors every night must pass at
each quarter of an hour clocks of won¬
derfully Ingenious construction, the re¬
volving dials of which ore pierced with
holes, which at the precise moment
the watchman is due before them pass
over a slot. The watchman pushes
through a peg he carries, and the clock
ticks on. Should he not present him¬
self at the moment scheduled for him
to appear, however, the timepiece im¬
mediately sounds an alarm.—New York
Tribune.
