the tramway committee of the Glas

ed the contract for tne supply ard lay
ing of the conduit for convejlng the
cable for Glasgow municipal tracways
to the National Conduit and Cable
company of America. The work of
laying the Ipe under American super

navies are being employed. This con

the most important one ever placed
outside of England. Already 2,000,000
feet of piping have been ordered, and
it is said that the chances are that the
entire requirements in this line will be
filled by the Americans, and that the
cable on the superior manufacture of
which English manufacturers have
long prided themselves will also be
ordered from the United States. The
curious part of the conduit contract is

We do not remember to have seen
for a long time a more curious case of
a thiet s cleverness than that which
was recorded at Clerkenwell. Solomon
Buffler, who, with a companion, was

when he was in the cells, "putting It
Into her mouth by means of his tongue
when kissing her." The other he kept
under his tongue all the time he wa.
under arrest, and it would probably
never have been found at all if bis
