Un the face are three colours with blue predominating, and on the back are two, with blue again. Blue bafiles the photographer, and is a favourite medium for notes all over the world.
"You can hardly conceive of a combination of talent among forgers sufficient to produce a nic like that," said an experienced printer. "You want.first of all very fine and costly machinery for engraving, because photography will not do it. Hand work will not do. You must have one man to engrave the portraits, another of a different genius who can do the scenery, another who can do the extremely difficult line

salifed with the notes and the methods of de- tection,
It can always distinguish the true from the false by secret marks, and so protects itself; but the discovery is not made until some member of the public has paid for the note and lost his money.
THE SCIENTIFIC FORGER. For three-quarters of a century the Bank has been printing the note in virtually the same style, with fine black ink, in a simple design, on pure white paper having a complicated watermark. The forger is a scientist of a sort, and science has advanced while the Bank has stood still. Bankers, bank inspectors whose business it is to deal with forgeries, engravers, and bank-note printers agree that there is no essential difficulty in sucessfully forging the
nole.
An inspector of great experience, who has spent a quarter of a century among forgeries of notes and cheques, said in answer to an in- quiry: If Baníash and his gang had pos sessed £5,000 or £0,000 10 take up the business thoroughly they could have made notes as good as the real ones. They lacked machinery for perfect printing, and one who knows the minuting of the engraving could tell their notes were bad. But those delects could have been
overcome.
"The watermark was very good, though de-

THE OLD ARGUMENT.
A banker of wide experience expressed the general opinion of the experts consulted when he said: "The Bank of England has been using this note for a very long time, and it ↑. would not listen to the idea of changing. It is ton conservative in this as in its other methods
of business. We know very well the note can be forged and is forgeal. Our tellers can detect most of the forgeries, though I believe Deven- port's notes pas. ed at several branch banks.*
The Bank of England stands alone in its reliance on simplicity, Other banks and note- issuing Governments depend upon complexity. of desin, the difficulty of reproducing the fine engraving, and on the help of colour-printing Recent events show that the superior safety of the century-old English method no longer holds. The printing safeguard is shattered, the paper has been imitated, so that the only security against forgery is the terror of peual
servitude. It seems to be the duty of the governor and company of the Bank to consider whether the methods of three generations ago are adequate for the twentieth century.

was too near London, for the notes reached the bank the next lay, and the forgery was detected. They had various blemishes, but these would not be observed by one unaccus tomed to scrutinise notes. The paper was nearly perfect on the face, hat on the back it was what may call 'soapy. It lacked crispness. Again it was too yellow for its age. A rew bank-note is snowy white, but with age it becomes tinged. These had tinged too soon. In the genuine notes there are many little points in the engraving that bankers know, and some that only the Bank of England tellers recognise. A few of these were exaggerated;

ideal conditions for a forger who relies on photography. To take a photo and reproduce it on a plate in raised letters for printing is no very difficult maller. Where many men have failed is in reaching the excellence of the original, and that is due to their want of means." WHAT THE BANK TRUSTS TO.
The great safeguard on which the Bank of England relies is the difculty of imitat. ing the paper and the watermark, but that has been overcome, as we have seen. In these Devenport notes the watermark was very well done. But with a strong light one can easily photograph the watermark, and that done the way is clear for reproducing it on the paper. The paper is hand-made in the country, and the mark is impressed on the soft pulp by a raised design on the wires form. ing the bottom of the frame. Fine linn rags and threads are the basis of the paper, and there is some secret in the composition, as there is in many other papers; but that does not pass the skill of the farger, and he can with money, time, and a little talent reproduce the design of the mark.

The original sheets contain four notes. They are cut in half and two notes are printed at a time and numbered automatically. Then they are cut again, and in the result cach note has two rough edges and two smooth. It is said that the Bank people know which edges on a note of a given number should be rough and which smooth. At any rate, that could be quite | easily done. The infurmation guides the Bank, but does not help the public, who obviously Cannet know.
