D angerous I nventions . — Many
years ago a gentleman in a subordi­
nate department of the bank of Ire­
land discovered a device more useful
than hair-splitting, though of like na­
ture. He found out a way of splitting
bank notes, so that each note became
two, and to all appearances were the
same as when they were one, includ­
ing, of course, the water mark and al!
the rest of it. He is an honest man,
and informed the government of the
result of his ingenuity; whereupon, on
his solemn promise of never revealing
the secret, they made him governor
of the bank. Another gentleman,
but who, unhappily, is a rogue, has
lately made his appearance in London)
he has invented a certain acid which
causes the writing to disappear from
the check, and then he fills up the
blank space according to bls aspira­
tions. His modus operandi is the fol­
lowing: He procures a real check,
drawn by a good name, for seventeen
or nineteen pounds; the word
“pounds” is obliterated so completely
that no trace of the original writing
can be discerned even under the mi­
croscope, and the words “hundred
pounds” inserted in its place; two ci­
phers are added to the figures, and
then the thing is done, since all the
other parts of the document, includ­
ing I be signature, are quite correct.
This ingenious plan is causing great
consternation in London, and the
gentleman who invented it could get
a round sum to retire from business.
