A TWO SIDED BILL.
It Created a Tr.-iiH-ik’ouH Sansation in the
Treasury department.
Then* was received at the treasury
department on<- of the most peculiar
bank notes overs' namong the millions
upon millions of •.•hit -ncy notes printed
by the government. it was a §2O note
or a §lO not“, just according to which
I side was up, for by some remarkable
mistake the one side was printed with
the figures and devices cf >a>§2o bill.
, while the other had all the figures and
devices of a §lO bill.
The not'; was returned to the treas
( nry by ashler of the First Wash-
I ington National bank of Jersey City,
who sent it v. ithnrath r sarcastic laite.
intimating that his bank was not going
into the freak ba- in - ~ and added that
as the treasury had counted that bill
for §2O lie would trouble them to send .
, him an ordinary §2O note. The affair >
I created a sensation, for no one had ever
I seen such a wonderful note before. I
The matter was referred to the depart
ment of issue, from which the note had
been sent out to th;.* Jers y City bank.
< The mistake was promptly corrected
and an immediate hives'.igation begun.
The investigation was prosecuted
with vigor, and Gen. Meredith found
the cause of the trouble. It seems that
the tour notes printed on a sheet are
not all of one denomination. There
are always three of one kind and the 1
fourth of another; thus, in this case,
three tens and a twenty. It was an
easy task to learn just when this bun I
die had been printed, and by which
plate printers. They were examined,
and it developed that one sheet of lorn
notes, after having been printed on one
side, had fallen olf the bundle to the
lloor. The assistant who picked it up by
some unfortunate oversight turned the
sheet upside down wlicn she placed it
on the bundle.
The rest is easily understood. This
sheet was printed on the second side
with a2J face on the r verse of a ten,
and one of the three 10 face on the re
verse of the one 2'l of the st. el. lienee '
(here were two - ‘lO 20s” in the lot. (
Thus the mistake was correct I. But no
good explanation was offered, or can
I bo offered, why these two bills, passing !
; through a score of hands, each one of
. whom is supposed to examine every bill
■ most carefully, should not have been
discovered.
Every person in the bureau who
handles a note is held responsible in
the strictest way. and ft is almost in
credible that none of these jwople
should have discovered the mistake.
In the department ot issuo are not less
than six counters, whose business it has
keen for years to count the notes be
: fore issuing them to the banks. They
ar • considered the most expert counters
1 in the world, and yet all six of these
i wonderful experts allowed such a bill
to pass through their hands. No trace
has been found of the second hybrid,
i so that it must be wandering around
I the country. The two notes will lie 1
kept in the treasurer's office as curios
| ities.—Baltimore Sun.
Experiment with Hopes and Wires.
Some interesting experiments have
been made by a French engineer to as
certain definitely the strength, extern i
| bility and elasticity of round and Hat
i ropes of hemp and aloe, and of iron
■ and steel wire. In these investigations
: there were employed a horizontal by
I draulic press and weighing apparatus
consisting of a steel yard and sliding
weight by which tension of 130,000
|M>unds could be recorded, and for
i higher pressures a gauge on the body
i of the press was used. Specimens were
| fastened by winding each end on a
■ grooved pulley of special construction,
the usual length of the specimens being
thirteen feet.
The result of all the tests gave for 1
! the average tensile strengths of ropes
tho following: White hemp, 10,500 to
I 11,200 pounds per square inch; tarred
hemp, 7,700 to 8,400; white manila,
9,800 to 10,1100; white aloes, 5,600 to
I 7,000; flat tarred, hemp and manila,
j 7.800 to 8,100. A factor of safety of
; four, or even three in some cases, is
I considered a safe rope. A rope of un
annealcil wire has an ultimate strength
of about 55,000 pounds per square inch
of section of metal. When annealed
tho ultimate strength is reduced to
about 15.000 pounds; but tho elonga-
I tion is nearly doubled, being nearly 1?
to 15 percent, in annealed wire. The
I best wire ropes for mining purposes
have a Hiiii'li higher teusile strength.

Burning Yesterday Morning;.
Yesterday morning about 5 o’clock
Mr. R. S. Lambert, who is connected
| with the clothing store of E. H.
llirsch, on Newcastle, went down to
I the stoic for some purpose, and on
! opening the door, was almost stilled
by tho dense volumes of smoke that
■ met him.
He knew the) • was fire somewhere,
and lushing in discovered a counter
:of gents clothing a. blaze. Quickly
procuring several buckets of vvater
he succeeded in extinguishing the
tire, which appeared to have just
originated. The loss will be only
nomin il.
Nir. Lambert thinks the clothing
caught from an arc light which hung
i just overhead. He says that the
floor was burned a few nights ago
just, under the light. Mr. llirsch
was sway at, the time, having left for
: Atlanta on Saturday night.
