GET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS Uauk f'RIvlals Take Mean* to I’rotrel Their Tnanurc from Tl>levr». It Is said by a polite ofliclal at city hall headquarters that some of the city tanks, whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely of late, have been experimenting with an ex pedient long in use by the Dank of England offleia’s of paying known crooks for information of any contem plated raid upon their vaults. The Dank of England’s first experiment of this kind dates fi i 1850, when the directris cf the b-uk listened to a start.w.g proposition made by a "ditch digger." The laborer toid the directors that he bad discovered a new and un suspected method of getting into the cellar vaults, where the gold and sli ver bars were kept, and that ho wou.d sell his secret to them for money. The directors hesitated, believing that they had taken every precaution against loss from the vaults In putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of Iron Lars, and by manning the building with armed watchmen. But finally they l ranted the man, who seemed to talk fairly, a chance to try his plan, and a night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time a committee of the directors descended to the cellar and heard a peculiar scratching sound under their feet. Two hours later the floor opened and the ditch digger bobbed up serenely, like the evil spir its in the spectacular drama. All around them lay bars of precious metal, totaling In value £3,000,000. The man explained satisfactorily how It was done and as a reward the direc tors assured him an Income from life on an Investment of $10,000. The crook was content and It Is believed he remained honest ever afterward. But other cracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were Inundated with sugges tions and tips on new methods of bur glary and how to prevent them. Among other things, they paid $20,000 for a process, invented by a young chemist, for copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs of the bank notes so perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys tem more satisfactorily and more profitably than their own In the pro duction of their current^. Despite the fact that these expenditures havo run up Into big figures in the last half century the directors of today say that all the money was well invested. FAMOUS OLD CLOCK. That for BIO Years Has Reeulated the City of ltoucn. Rouen, one of the principal cities of France, and the great seut of Its cotton manufacture, possesses the oldest pub lic clock in the world. The great Rouen clock has held its place in that city for 610 years and is the pride of its citizens. Placed in 1389, it has been running without Interruption from that day to this, requiring nothing except cleaning and a few trifling repairs or its accessory parts. The great clock had so accustomed the citizens of Rouen to look upon its exactitude as a matter of course, that when, in 1672, the breaking of a wire prevented its sounding 6 o’clock one morning, the population was in a state of consterna tion. The magistrates summoned the custodian—Guillaume Petit—and re monstrated gravely with him. Until 1712 the great clock had no pendulum. For 323 years it had no other regulator than a "follot,” an apparatus unknown to the majority of modern clockmak ers. The pendulum in clockwork was introduced in 1669, but so well satis fied were the people of Rouen with the time-keeping qualities of their famous old clock that 63 years were allowed to pass before a pendulum was substi tuted for the "follot.’’ Equipped with this new apparatus It has continued to this day to strike the hours and chime the quarters. Bt Winifred's Well to He Protected. Mr. Justice Byrne has thrown the protecting ermine over the High Court of Justice over St. Winifred’s Well, In England, and declines to allow the water of the famous fountain—which Is supposed to be endowed with mirac ulous powers quite as wonderful as any in the Grotto of Lourdes—to be bottled and ticketed for home and for eign consumption, like soda water or lemonade. The High Court of Justice did not exhibit the bottling of Wini fred's mixture out of any churlish de sire to keep her benefactions for the select few, but simply because the ripa rian owners of the stream fed from the spring object to be depilved of their quantum of water to enrich the local board, who wished to sell it for their own pecuniary profit. These owners had enjoyed the rivulet from time immemorial, and preferred its contents to a collection of useless sur ' glcal appliances. His lordship held that, although the board were the cus todians of the well, they had no right to carry off ita miraculous waters, which must remain In situ. Those who wish cures must get them on the spot An injunction preventing any In terference with Winifred was accord ingly granted. Soma Mythology. Detroit Journal: When the maiden In the old Teutonic myth saw the dragon approach, she was much terri fied. “Are you going to devour me?” she shrieked, clasping her hands agon lzedly. “No, Maude,” replied the dragon, sarcastically, “I'm simply go ing to take your chewing gum away from you!" Whence we see that even a dragon eventually becomes tired oi being aBked foolish questions. No Immediate Danger.

When the coal borii. ; .. <3 put down at Dover about six or cl, . > curs ago, by Mr. F. Brady, on tlie site of the old Channel tuhnel works, tl.cie were Indi cations In the cores of the presence of Iron ore In the strata between 500 and GOO feet from the surface. The Indica tions have now proved correct, says the London Chronicle. In the course of sinking the No. 2 shaft a bed of valu able oolitic iron ore br.s just been struck at a depth of rather less than GOO feet. The seam p: o .. s to be no less than twelve feet thick and probably ex tends over a great area, tlie quantity being practically unlimiied. The di un der of the shaft is tw .r y feet and the quantity brought to the surface in passing through tlie twelve feet amounted to about 350 tons. Sv.r.p.O; of the ore have bean r. .!U *•! to a Ai ysls, with highly ratisf •• ! -y r-su' .s. a washed sample of Lie re * 13.S per cent of iron. On \ s lag ti e coi llerv works today I -.t a consili ent ule bulk of tlie o:s tu : m . 11 ger informed me that a .v .aha s < >i;)'e tested at the works yielded betv. ee:. ."0 and 60 per cent of iron. Ti;« atMlysis shows that the ore is f f uta sul phur and phosphorus. The o:e is stat ed to be of much richer ity than tlie Wealden Ironstone, v-v ,. d •;» Kent and Sussex a century ago. \ ilyd Dawkins, in a paper read beforo tiie British association in 1SPL dr/cribed a sample obtained from tim original baring. From this it appears that this bed of Iron ore is Identic.! with that described by Blake and iiud'eston' ai Abbotsbury, In Dorset, whcio it occurs between the Klmmeridge clay above and the Corallian rocks below. It le also practically Identical with tlie val uable iron ore-worked f ir many years In Westbury, Wiltshhe. The Ironstone presents very singular physical char acteristics. It is composed of da id: brown, shining grains of hydrated ox ide of iron, like millet seed, imbedded in a crystalline base, partly of cal cium and partly of iron carbonate. MORE GLACIERS THAN GOLD Scientist* Found Many Natural Wonder* Up In A Ilia lei. Two members of K. H. Ilarriman’s scientific party that lia3 been explor ing the Masknn coast for some month* past have returned to Vancouver and bring accounts of their cruise ou the steamer Elder, which indicate that Mr. Harrlman and the scientists will return laden with many laurels. They seem to have developed a mania fat glaciers, having visited and explore! more than thirty, some qf which were unknown except to natives. In one bay, not shown on the maps or charts they discovered an Immense glacier, not as large as the giant Muir, but much more grand and picturesque. The bay extends inland more than twenty miles and at a point near the glacier a sounding line of forty fathoms did not tench bottom. This inlet they named Unknown bay. It was here that the Elder maneuvering among the cakes of Ice broke from the glacier, broke a propeller blade, making It necessary tc return to Orca, where repairs were made. At the head of Disenchant^enl bay they found four glaciers which had never been seen before by white men In Icy bay, twenty miles across, op posite Carroll’s glacier, the party dis covered a new glacier with a front ol three-fourths of a mile. This was named Ilarrlman’s glacier. Observa tlons taken In the vicinity of Grand Pacific glacier showed that Its ice wall had receded three miles during the 2C years that have elapsed since Muir and Reed visited the place and established their survey. The different scientist? are having gratifying success in all lines. The botanists have found sev eral new plant species and a collection o' marine species made by the party It Is said, will be superior to any other In existence. Ornithologists have had phenomenal success and are able tc show new bird specimens. 1(1* tlonrt 1* on the flight Slilo. Physicians in a hospital at Omaha discovered that the heart of John M Murphy, one of the Inmates, lies on thr right instead of the left side of his body. Operations were at once begur to transfer It to Its proper place. M phy Is accustomed to handling heavy burdens and two years ago he observed some startling change going on around hie heart. The organ seemed to be slowly crowded toward his right side In the course of a year he found his heart beating nearly in uie center ol his body, and then it passed distinctly over to ;he right side. The doctor? performed an operation. They found his heart had been crowded out of plact as the result of the formation of pus In the natural heart cavliy. This was drawn off. a section of the ribs taken out and the delicate organ pressed to wards the left. It could not be moved much, but the surgeons think It will gradually return to its accustomed place. It Is believed to be the only case of its kind In medical history. Remarkable Kimpe from Death.

As the population of the world is estimated at 1,500,000,000, and adding to the adher ents of the four great religions of the world other 53,000,000 for the thousand and one beliefs with comparatively few followers, there are left 800,000,t)00 people who worship strange gods or practice curious rites in lieu of religion, and who come within the definition of the “heathen,” for whose conversion large sums are collected year after year amongst the churches throughout the civilized world. The Ron'* Carbon 8helL It has often been suggested that the brilliance of the sun’3 disk is due to in candescent particles of carbon, and v ithin a few years past the presence of (, rbon in the sun has been demonstrat 1 d by the spectroscope. Lately Prof. Hale, the director of the Yerkes ob servatory, has shown that there is a thin layer of carbon in the lower part of the sun’s atmosphere. It surrounds tlie solar globe like a luminous shell, and, under normal conditions, is prob ably not more than 500 mlle3 above the sun’s surface. But when an eruption takes place, from beneath, the carbon layer, like all the other constituents of the solar atmosphere, is broken up and locally dispersed by the tremen dous agitation. I.arReat American Flags. George Main of this city in 1855 or ’56 made the biggest specimen of the Stars and Stripes ever manufactured, which was flung to the breeze at a reception to President Franklin Pierce. The democrats of Concord were bound to “beat the record," and hired Mr. Main to make for them a flag 120 feet long by 90 feet wide, containing 1,200 yards of bunting. It was hung across Main street, between the state house yard and a building on whose site the New Hampshire savings bank block now stands. Mr. Main made $5,000 worth of Hags -for the Pierce and Bu chanan campaigns.—Concord Patriot Monkey* Kicape. Two monkeys have escaped from their cage in the garden of the Bull and Bush hotel, Hampstead, England, and have been exploring, not only the heath near Golder's Hill,but have also enjoyed themselves in the well-kept grounds of houses adjoining the heath. One of the animals, "Joey,” got into trouble last August, when he and three companions went out on a similar ex pedition. His companions were killed and "Joey” was wounded and captured. On being taken back to his cage his owner bought another monkey to keep him company, and it is this new com panion “Joey” has now led astray. Highest Buildings In the World.

Blue Koaea Grow Wild. An account of the blue rose has been given by the German gardeners in Slavonia, Chwcika and Bitz, who are cultivating it. Reports came of blue roses that grew wild in Servla, and a specimen was sent to them two years ago with violet blue flowers. They have been experimenting to see whether the color is retained under cultivation or whether it is due to the soil of the moors where It is found. If the rosea retain their blue, the plants will be for sale in 1901.—New York Sun. A Sure Coffee Teat. There is no drink more delicious than a cup of coffee when the beverage is made from the beet seed. To test toffee put a spoonful gently on the top of a glass of water. If the coffee is pure it will not sink for some minutes and will scarcely color the water; but if chicory is mixed with it it will sink to the bottom immediately, rapidly ab sorbing the water and also giving it a dark-reddish tinge. A Wonderful Natural Brldga. Down on Pine creek, near Camp Verde. Arix., is a natural bridge that is probably greater than any other in the world. It is nearly five times the size of the natural bridge of Virginia, and has a span of more than 500 feet across Pine creek, which is dry 300 days in the year. The height of the bridge Is about eighty feet, and it is about 600 feet wide. i Currier Pigeons Armed. _ j In China carrier pigeons are pro- j tected from birds of prey by apparatus j consisting of bamboo tubes fastened to j the birds’ bodies. As the pigeon flies the action cf the air passing through the tubes produces a shrill whistling sound, which keeps the birds of prey at a distance. -- i Preferred Water. | One sensible man in Wiuterport.M©., who has wanted city water put In his house, but felt that his Income was hardly equal to it. this year concluded to drop the use of tobacco, after thirty years’ use of the weed, and put In the^ water.
