There arc n great mtny persons In tills
country , relates the ( Jlobo-Deniocrat , who
I have no lilca of tlio system thnt Ui\ctc Sain
keeps with regard to the Intorcflt check * that
ore raid quarterly on registered bonds. Thcro
are numerous Instances , Incidents that happen
every day In the register's olllco of the Trcas
ury drriirtmcnt , that go to orovo this asser
tion. A man will write to the olllco saying
that ho has not received his check for In
itercst , payable , oei'haps , eight or n'.eio years
"ago " , and that ho would bo very much obliged
1C 1)19 ) department would make him out an
other check for the amount , The clerk to
whom thli letter Li referred pocs to his
bcoks , finds the report number and then goes
to the flic room , whcro the old checks are
Itept , and nlnoty-nlno times out of ono hun
dred , or U would bo more correct to say 999
times out of 1,000 , picks up the check which
the gentleman swears ho did net receive , en
dorsed by him and returned to the Treasury
department as having been paid to the In
dividual In question , There are very few
times that the department Is found to have
skl ; oed any ot the thousands of holdem of
United States securities In the shape of reg
istered bonds.
The system by which this accutaey Is pos
sible Is not a. corroUcatcil one , except that
! It deals with numbers embracing the third
' period. The loans of the government are In
two forms registered nnd coupons.
Of course. In the case of the coupon bonds
no such record Is kept , but In the case ot the
registered bonds an Individual account with
every holdur of any and all such securities
ever Issued by the government Is kept In the
cfflio ot the register of the treasury. When
the tlmo conies for the quarterly ixiymeot the
register's olllco prepares the schedule , which
Is then sent to the treasurer's office , where
the cheeks are drawn. The checks are then
sent out and arc returned In duo tlmo to thu
register's office after payment has been made.
Checks are not always csi'hed In nt that time ,
however , many oersons who are careful with
their money holding them and oorhaps send
ing them to the treasury for payment years
after the original quarterly payment. When
an old chock of this description comes In it
Is referred to the register's office In the same
manner that a complaint would be and the
matter Is carofjilly looked up to BOO that there
Is no pasnlblo chance of the government payIng -
Ing Interest twice. When the checks ore
finally returned to the register's olTlce the
number Is carefully entered In bsoks for that
p'jrpMe and the checks themselves are then
tagged and placed In the flic room , so that It
Is a matter oC a. very few minutes for a clerk
who ! s familiar with the routine to flnd any
check that has ever been returned to that
olllce.

SOME OLD CHECKS RETURNED.
As an Instance of how persons retain
chocks made payable to them for Interest
and do not cash them Inl until years after
the payment Is made , one of Uio checks
under the funded loan of 1881 fop $6.25 was
turned In last yoir , while four aggregating
$3,394 under the continued' loan cf 1881 an ]
sixteen aggregating $9,975 under the Icani of
1SS2 were received during thla year. There
have not been any checks under the first
four loans received at the register's office
for seine time.
There are more ways than the one outlined
in tlio beginning to which persona resort
to defraud the government In the matter
of bondii nnd riiecks. Hulf bonds are re
ceived , the other half , it Is alleged , having
been destroyed by fire. Then during the
course of years 'along conies the other half ,
the sender , often the same In both cases ,
alleging that the other half , previously re
deemed at tlio department , had been de
stroyed by fire. Hut the trick Is alwnyij
found out , so complete Is the system now In
use.
use.It Is pnictlcally Impossible to pass a
forged check through the office. It Is often
the casc > that checks como In with signa
tures that are Immcd'latly questioned or
with Imperfect Indorsements , or , perhaps ,
with a forged Indorsement. Then they are
Immediately sent to the register's olllce , and
a comparison la made with the check1 Issued
under the last previous quarterly piyment.
Should the check bo Inadvertently passed
by the treasurer's office It rarely , nnd It
may bo said never , gets through the audi
tor's olllco , through which It has to pass on
Its \vuy to Wio final resting place In the
file room of the register's division. When
a check Is caught In this way , payment Is
Immediately suspended , and the paper Is sent
back to the bank that paid , out the money
on It. This , of course , la all connected with
registered boncla , the holder ot a coupon
bond -merely cutting off the coupon when It
matures , and sending It to the treasury or u
subtrcasury for payment.
With all the precautions , however , the
government was raught napping once. When
a bond Ha certified-as having been destroyed
the government Itsues a bond of Indemnity
to protect Itself from paying the simo twice ,
In the COs a bond for $1,500 , Ifsued under
the act of February 25 , 18G2 , a 6 per cent
loan , was reported as having been destroyed ,
and affidavits substantiating this claim were
filed with the department. The bond , of
course , was made- good by the government
and the substitute was In duo tlmo cashed
tn. Shortly afterword , however , the original
bond , which had not been destroyed , oa
ehown , turned up , and -tlio substitute bond
not having been saved , as they are ; now , the
amount was paid a second time.
The treasurer lot the United State *
waa , of course , required to p > y the
amount ; but ) a special act was passed by
congress reimbursing him , This Is the only
Instance on record .where the government
ever made a mistake or where any Individual
got ahead of Uncle Sam bythis method. This
record Is really remarkable -when It U con-
aldorod that Bomotlmea a score of attempt *
of ( his character are made every day by men
who are the smartest and ahrvivdcdt in the
world in'tbls line , und It 1 probable that
this ono cai-o woiiM not Iwvo occurred hml
the bonds boon kept on fllo then na they
are now. When an laiuo of .bonds Is cnllnl
In nt the maturity cf the Iftan now the
Bccurltlos arc wrcfully tnRRod and filed In
much the same manner ns the checks , nn-1
this preludes nny possibility of a forged bender
or ono that has < bcen certified as having been
destroyed being p.ild the second time , as
Inthe case quoted ,
I'ROSI'BCTIVB CIHANINO ; OUT.
In the course of tlmo the fllo roomn will
he cleared out , but not , , ln all probability ,
until ex-cry check thnt could possibly stir up
a controversy had been turned In nnd the
account clescd. The bonds -will probably be
kept much longer than the checks.
The work of registering nnd filing the
checks Is rot so complicated now as It used
to bp. as the only aetlvo loans of the gov
ernment on which Interest Is being paid
quarterly ro the conwls of 1907 , 1301 and
1925 , and the continued loan of 1SD1 , thus
entailing the work on but four sots of
checks.
The file rooms are mo t Interesting places
to visit. The rooms are Riven up to shelves i
shelves on every side of the rooms and
cabinet. * packed as closely as possible In the
center , consisting of n6thln but shelves.
Kach set cf checks Is wrapped In a separate
bundle , each bundle bearing a tin label thai
determines at once the' nature of the loan ,
the amount and the report number by which
the bundle Is referred to from the book.
In connection iwllh the loans ot the gov
ernment It Is Interesting to note that the
highest amount of Intcrc-st paid by the gov
ernment on any loan wan on 'tho consols ot
1861 , 1SG4 and 18C5 , under which coupon
bonds were Issued. Tliorate of Interest on
these securities was 7.3 per cent. U Is also
Intcrci'tlng ' to note that the 'best counterfeit
ever made In this coilntry ot a government
security was ot 1he e 7-30 notes , ns they
wore called , but the author of the work was
caught with nil his tools and the notes In
his posrfsslon before ho had tlmo to circulate
any of them. It Is probable that had they
been put In circulation the , genilus who made
them would have secured millions of dollars.
The Interest checks on file nt the depart
ment show some enormous holdings of
United States securities by Individuals ,
The largest check over drawn by the gov

Interest on loan waft that drawn In favor
of William H. Vnnderbllt , ns n quarterly
payment on his holdings of the loan ofI
per cent consols of 1S77-1D07. The check
was dated April 1 , 1SS2 , but It was only
0:10 : cf a series of a llko amount that the
famous financier received quarterly for sev
eral yeas , nud was signed' by James 011-
fillan , then United Suites Treasurer , , and
countersigned by W. H. Qlbson. Mr. Van-
dorbllt received n yearly Interest of $1,922-
000 on his holdings , which amounted to
J18,050,000 , payable In quarterly Installments ,
no that the check In question called for $150.-
500. It Is now In the possession of the
Currency bureau of the treasury , and Is
shown as n curiosity to the many visitors
who dally throng the corridors and rooms
of the building. It Is endorsed "W. II. Vnn-
dcrbllt , " nnd turned over to the Dank of the
Metropolis in New York for deposit.
U Is rather nil Interesting occupation to
compute the Interest Mr. Vnnderbllt wns
ccelvlng on this ono great loan. Rvery
year ho received $1,922,000. which amounted
to $480,500 'quarterly , $1GO,1GO.GG monthly ,

lay. ai'd $3.65 per minute.
Under the present active loans of the
government , the largest holdings do not en-

per quarter , the amounts ranging from $5 to
that amount.

Paris Is recognized Ihoworld over ns the
Ideal plnca for showingnnd consequently
Its large shop * .have become the tlnust In
stitutions of their kind In existence , built
up ixs thpy have been by foreign trade.
There are five great department stores In
ParlH that absorb nearly all the trade , ami
which are f.ist crushing out the little shops.
These huge bazaars , s.iysji writer in LeslU-'s
Weekly , are conducted oiYV 'e most approved
plan , quite different from other s = hovin of
the world , for Instead of belonging- , like the
American rliops , to rich merchants , they ure
made into huso stock convpanles , , Hli the
almost countlMS employes as shareholders ,
uU directed by n central orfjanizitlon , re
ceiving their share of all the profits , and
consequently Inking- the utmost Interest In
tha establishment andl Its sales ; for It's their
own pockets tney are looking after.
Everything to marked aTjiTlxed price , and
everything- possible Is Jonb to please and
accommodate thti customer , so thnt she will
return again and again. A womin may shop
all ona day ami the next day fetch ovi-ry-
thliiB1 back and have , all her money re
turned amiably , . .vlthout a question or a
moment's bother. Even things that are cut
a anetro of lace or ribbon , or a few niotren
of cloth are taken baric Just the same nnd
afterward sold as coupons. Purchases are
delivered promptly and In perfect condition ,
with the most cmitnnt ! ! ; packing arrange
ments ofiwhlte tissue paper , attractive boxes
and llttla ribbons.
In the- old days In Paris everything -went
by barter In the shops , and this form of
trailing still exists In the small shops , so
that ono Is never quite pure. In trading In
thorn , of getting- her money's worth , for ,
after having : beaten thu prlrc awuy down ,
onel.i still haunted by the thought t.iat It
might have been bought cheaper olsci.\hore
The merchants of these fcmall shops com
plain bitterly because -the grwit miBa lns
tnko away their trade , but It Is easy to
understand that the public does not care to
bo cheated when It can be sure of a fair
bargain In a comfortable shop , where all
the novelties are sure to be offered first
The Institute of France has given a
prcat deal of attention of Into to this
crushing down of the small shops by the
large mneaslns. nnd It has determined to
levy larger taxes on thegreat establish
ments , being , as they are , u menace to the
accumulation of petty shops , The nuiga-
slns can afford easily to far undersell fie
small tradesmen because the genornl ox-
pensut ) are groutly reduced by being maHfcil
together , nnd becalms the buying Is done
In such immense quantities nt the manufac
tories. Some of the deputies went so far
even as to pay that thu great shops wore
socialist breeders nnd thnt a second com
mune might eventually result.
Of lute , 'however , ninny of the small
shop keepers of the boulevards have closed
thnr business and applied to the great
buzaara for employment , and have srown
to bo richer and better even In coiiscqui-ni'i' ;
for bartering ruins a man's disposition ami
makes him mean and dfucllful.
In the large Hhopa rneh salesman receives
a commission on each sali > , besides his
salary , which for n new employe Is M a
year with his lodging and meals. Ills com-
nilHaloiiH usually nverugu nbout equal to
his salary. These commissions keep a man
from being lazy , for It Is for his own. . par
ticular Interest to sell , The more sales
liu makes the quicker be Is advanced , and
as the position of ohef de rnyon , or lienil
of a department. Is looked upon ns a very

All the employes reoclvii their meals In

and It Li only by continual vlKllauco that
they make a living. In hunting for food
they fly heavily twenty or thirty feut nbovo

which depends n capacious pouch , pointing
downward , tlio small brown i-yes on thu
watch for the p\i > octiiiit school of tlsh.
Should It appear , the bird apparently
throws Itself over , then plunges down
ward , bend first , with mandibles npnri.
The helpiht of the dive carries thp bird In
ninny Instances completely out of sight
beeneath the water , from which It rises
In a few seconds , und If It has been so
fortunate ns to engulf a sardine or several
In Its capacious mouth. It tosses them up ,
seemingly from the poiteh , by throwlnr the
bill aloft , then swallowing the morsels with
sdf-congrntulatory wagging of the diminu
tive ti'll , suggestive of Its satisfaction.
The capture of pnine Is not always a
guarantee of n feast. The laughing gull , [ 1
common In thcs ? waters , preys upon the
pelican or robs It systematically whenever
It can , This It accomplishes by nllKhlliiR
on the pelican's head or back as It rises ,
and ns the clumsy bird attempts to ar
range the morsfl n Its mouth preparatory
to swallowing It , the gull reaches forward
nnd snatches It from between the long
mandibles and tiles awny with exultant
cries.
It has been supposed by many that tlio
brown pelicans make their headquarters In
lower California , coming north In the
spring , but during the past season the
writer , during a cruise among the Islands
on" Santa Barbara county , found the rook
ery of these birds. The islands which con
stitute the group nrp divided Into two
series tlio Santa 'Cntnllna ' , off Las Anneles
county , lying , according to the chart , In
what N called the Santa Catallnu chan
nel. Thest ! Islands Include San Cl-menU' ,
Santa Catallnn , San Nicolas and Santa M.ir-
bara. Seventy-five miles to the north IU s >
the sec-ond division , comprising Sinta Cruz ,
Santa Ilosa. San Miguel and Anacapa. Tin ?
latter Is n long , slender , rocky Island , rising
from the water's edgtt to u IIIOPU between
100 and 200 feet 111 height at the east end.
The highest portion recalled the famous
enchanted mesa , as It was evidently Inac-
cp alhle except bv using ropes and a kite.
The Island Is divided Into three d'.itlnct '
portions by tlio > a. The extreme end Is
Hat. terminating In a pinnacle of roek. while
through the center 1 a lofty arch , high and
broad enough to admit the passage of n
largo yacht , through which the s > .a riin .
The mesa svns covered with bird. " , and as-
we ran near and fired the yacit's cnnnnn ,
there arose a cloud so vast that It fr.irly
colored the air. Every bird bad a long bill ,
and It suddenly dawncil upon us tb.it her , '
wns the homo of the brown ipellc.in on the
southern California eoftst. The gre.it Ic-tl e
of rock , flat on ) tap , was colored i.xliltcby the
guano of the birds , and wn ill.stlnQnlih.ib' > -
live or six miles distant. As we approached ,
thu side of thu cllIT , which formed a EMirht
angle , was -seen to be covered with pellc.ini- .
They scrambled up the rocks from the lower
portions , waddling with bills partly open and
wings expanded. As the sound of the gun
reached them the very ground seemed 1o
rise , the birds whirling slci.xly upw.ird In
Erf.it circles , then slowly settling ngaln.
The rookery. Isolated and Inaccessible , oc
cupied probably four or live acre..vberc thn
birds scorned to be packed In ; and that It
was an ancient one there isvas every reason
to believe. Here In all probability the youiu ;
are reared In May. At the time of our
visit , the ml'ldle of August , the rookery
appeared to be occupied by old birds and
two-tilrils } grown young.
The -pelicans here nest on Hit- ground ,
there being no trees of any kind on thin
wind-swept Island. This Is In direct con
trast to the brown pelican of the Florida
keys , at least in Instances observed by the
writer , where the nests were In mnnijrovo
trees , which were grooving almost In the
m-ntcr. The ucst.a were of the erudot de
scription , the eggs retaining their position
by virtue of good luok.
Not ten miles from the rookery of Anacapa
\\-IIK seen a series if remarkable caves , in
tno cn'rance-s of one of which was a t Jir
rookery. This MIIS discovered toy the aid of
the odor rome distance off. Upon approach
ing a remarkable overhanging cliff , \tv <
seen , the summit of which was po rfluly .V > 1
fn nbnve the water a stupendous plli > of
rock. No1" ! ' the base It bad been oitPn
away by the sea , leaving .1 . 'urle cf routr'j '
shelves or k-dgcn which \vero occupied by
shags , old and young.
Lending directly Into the cliff was n larcrc

empted by Ptiags , who were ! n the ma'n U\o-
thlrds grct.vn.
After some dllllculty the writer lai.ded
and climbed Into this * roo'Mrv. ' "hu i.ests
were of kelp and other ne.uvi" > d loiiKl.ly
thrown together , and strewn about on tin'
rocks were numbers of young birds , KIHIH-
nearly devoured and others partly torn In
pieces , showing that some animal preyed
upon them. After a careful examination of
the surroundln'ss ' the writer was forced to
think thnt , half starved , the birds ! 'ad
preyed upon each other , and that It ' .vas a
cao of a. literal survival of the fittest. On
the wa'er In tbf > cave floated numbers i f
dead young shags -which had evident' } *
fallen In , and , unable to u.\im , had bc < n
drowned. Yet the young bnndliil were
strong and powerful nnd u. cd their shani
be.iks to good advantage.

being fastened to thn walls. They wen-
made almost entirely of the feathers of sea
birds , covered on the outside lAlth a light
