States at the present time. No road uses
less than 2040 ties a mile, and some lines
over which traffic is heavy lay 2810 or more,
The average life of the tie Is about five
years, so that the yearly consumption of
ties is about 85,217,616.
During the year 1800 nearly 5800 miles
of railway have been completed iu this

Counterfeit 88 ltllU.
The following is the description of the $2
counterfeit bill which Is now circulated
largely throughout tbe country : It Is on ibo
Issue under the act ofJAuK-4, 1880, Depart
ment series, 1880,and bears the large spiked
seal and also the check letter B and plate
number 2,23."), Ills signed W. S. Rofen-
crans, .Register of tho Treasury, and James
IK. Hyatt, Treasurer of the United States.
It Is well executed and Is likely to deceive
even the experts at handling money. Tbe
blue figures or treasury numbers arc clear
cut and closely resemble those on the genu
ine note. The portrait of Gen. Hancock
Is well engraved, but tbe b.ilr and mous
tache do not appear brushed as smoothly
as In the genuIne;also,the star on the right
shoulder Is imperfect. Tbe color of the
seal is good, butjis a shade lighter than tho
genuine. In the upper left and lower right
corner in the figure "2" of the genuine are
engrayed ln three places the word "two,"
Under a good microscope It will be observed
that in tho ball of tho "2" on the counter
felt the letters "owl" are engraved, but
this defect would not be discovered except
by tbe aid of a good glass. In the word
"United," in tho treasury of the United
States, under the signature of James W.
Hyatt, the "1" and "t" extend a httlo bo
low the other letters. An attempt bas been
made to Imitate the silk fibre by drawing
fino blue lines through the body of this
counterfeit. Tbe back ot this countrrfelt
is exceedingly well executed.
