FORGED,'SIGNATURE!
Ingenious Mothodt of OsUction Em
ployid by tho Export*.
Most ingenious means are nowa
days employed in the detection of
forgery. It is a very clever forger
indeed who can deceive the up to
date expert in chirography.
As has been pointed out by Sand
berg, the expert may put a juror to
the proof that out of a dozen signa
tures of his own name no two will
be alike in general form. Then the
expert may turn to the authentic
and forged signatures in almost any
ca-e and show to the layman that
the first question of forgery arose
from the fact that these two signa
tures are at first glance identically
alike almost to the minutest detail.
The forger has been too skillful. He
has held to the old principle of
copying the authentic signature
that he has at hand, and the con
sequence is that the more nearly he
can reproduce the signature in every
proportion the more readily can the
forgery be proved.
A most significant fact upon
which the expert may base his in
vestigations of possible forgery is
that every one has his “pen scope.”
This technical term describes the
average stretch of paper that one
may cover without lifting the pen
from the paper and shifting the
hand to continue the line.
In the case of signature it should
be one of the easiest and least
studied group of words that the
writer should be called upon to put
upon paper. In writing a letter,
for instance, the pen scope through
out may exhibit an average stretch
of one inch for the text of the let
ter. while in the signature the whole
length of the name, twice as long,
nisiv be covered. But if the writer
covers the full stretch of Ins name j
in this way the expelt mav prove
bv the shorter pen scope of the 1
copyist that the studied copy is a j
forgery on its face. for. however ,
free of stroke the forger may natn- 1
rally be, bis effort to produce a fac
simile of another’s signature will ;
render his scope shorter than that :
of the original signer.
A common means of reproducing j
a signature is to place the original :
signature on a piece of glass, lay |
another piece of glass on top of it
and fasten the paper that is to re
ceive the forgery on top of that.
Then by holding the glass strips to ;
a bright light the original signa
ture easts a shadow through, and
this may be traced in pencil. From
this the ink forgery is made. When. ;
however, a forgery accomplished by
this means is placed under a strong
magnifying glass it will not pass
muster. Tf the original has a strong i
down stroke on the capital letters
the movement will be free and will
leave the pen lines with smooth
edges. The individual who is trac
ing sueh letters cannot trust him
soif to the same free movement of ,
the pen. and the result shows under
the glass hesitancy and uncertainty.

Pot Luck.
In a certain corner of Limoges, j
France, that quaint city of jostling
roofs, there is still segregated, much
as if in a ghetto, a Saracen popula
tion, probably a remnant of the
wave of .Saracens that swept over
F.urope hundreds of years ago. Here
they live in their crooked, narrow
streets, following old customs hand
eel down from generation to genera
tion. There are many butcher shops
m the quarter am) outside* of each
xtearns a great pot of soup over a
glowing brazier. In each pot stands
a ladle as ancient as the pot. Whan
a customer comes with a penny in
goes the ladle and cornea up full of
aavorv broth and chunks of meat,
odds and ends that the butcher has
had left over. And what comes up
the customer Has to take.

Bmith, of W'aterloWn, N. Y.. whom !
he ^aid had taught him his tlrsi i
and best business principles when j
he began with Mirim as a clerk
in'hi country store. They had |<> j
rise and bow their acknowledge- :
merits of the applause.
“They helped me lo make lliis i
building possible,” lie said. “The j
business from which this build- i
ing has grown began with a live- j
cent piece. When I came here in i
July, 1880, my firsl account was j
opened will/ what is now the Irv- :
ing National Bank, and the ae- !
count was so small that they hes
itated lo lake it, although I was
well introduced. I soon became
a director in Ihe bank, and
through Ihe help of Ilia(i inslitii-j
lion I was induced lo erect this I
building. |
“There has been much specu
lation as lo the height of the
building. When Cass (filbert ask
ed how high the building could
go. I told him about 750 feel. He
wanted lo know if (hal was the
limit. I told him it was the min- j
imum. When I returned from
Kurope last summer and asked
how high lie had made it. lie re
plied:
“ ‘I can't tell within a lew inch
es, but it is about 787 feel.’ Well,
1 pul a corps of engineers to work
measuring it, and they found that
the Park Place corner lo the lop
of Ihe lower, was 791 feet, and 1-2 j
inch; th.e Barclay street corner is I
792 feel; Broadway front 791.0:1
Park Place entrance 793.5, mak- j
ing an average of 792.1. It is I
9i7 feet above sea level al high i
tide. This structure is due to the 1
efforts of Cass (filbert, who has j
hrotiR'Ilf into eonunereialism llie|
arts of beauty."
KeplyiiiR to Mr. Woolworth,
Cass (filbert said :

is the land if equal opportuni
