GET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS liuiik Take to Protecl Thnlr Trea»nre from Thieve*. It is said by a police official at city hall headquarters that some of the city br.tiks. whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely of late, have U-en experimenting with an ex pedient long in use by the Bank of England offlcla's cf paying known crooks for information of any contem plated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's hrst experiment of this kit >1 dates f. \ 1850, when the direcio!1; of the bank listened to a star;:.:pioposiMon made by a "ditch digyu." l i e laiorer toid the directors that it had discovered a new and un su.ptfled method of getting into the cedar vaults, where the gold and sil ver bars were kept, and that he wou.d seii his secret to them for money. The dhcvtcrs hesitated, believing that they had taken every precaution against It s f:oin the vaults In putting up btrvy masonry, with plenty of iron La .-, and by manning the building w: h armed watchmen. But finally they f.:anted the man, who seemed to talk f. ,ily, a chance to try his plan, and a i iit was named for the undertaking. / . 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 boLbed 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 currency. Despite the fact that these expenditures have 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 Kegutnted the City of llouen. Rouen, one of the principal cities of France, and the great seat 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 of 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 tho 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 “foliot," an apparatus unknown to the majority of modern clockmak ers. The pendulum in clockwork was introduced in 1669, but bo 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 "foliot.” Equipped with this new apparatus It has continued to this day to strike the hours and chime the quarters. St. Winifred's Well to Be 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 gical appliances. His lordship held that, although the board were the cus todians of the well, they had no right to carry off Its 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. Some 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 of being asked foolish questions.

MORE GLACIERS THAN GOLD Scientists Found Many Natural Wonder* Up In Alinku. Two members of E. H. Harrlman’s scientific party that has been explor ing the Alaskan coast for some month; past have returned to Vancouver and bring accounts of their cruise on the steamer Elder, which Indicate that Mr. Harriman and the scientist wju return laden with many laurels. They seem to have developed a mania for glaciers, having visited and explored more than thirty, some of 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 hay. It was here that the Elder maneuvering among the cakei of ice broke from the glacier, broke » propeller blade, making it necessary tc return to Orca, where repairs were made. At the head of Dlsenchanr—ent 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 of three-fourths of a mile. This was named Harrlman’s glacier. Observa tions taken In the vicinity of Grand Pacific glacier showed that its ice wall had receded three miles during the 2f 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 othet In existence. Ornithologists have had phenomenal success and are able tc show new bird specimens. lilt Heart la on the Right Side. Physicians in a hospital at Omaha discovered that the heart ot John M Murphy, one of the Inmates, lies on thf 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 me center oi bis body, and then it passed distinctly over to ;he right side. The doctors performed an operation. They found his heart had been crowded out of place as the result of the formation of pus in the natural heart cavity. 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 tnr»p« from lleath.

As the population of the world is estimated at l.r,00,000,000, 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 800,000,000 people who worship strange gods or practice curious rites indieu 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 Son's Carbon RhelL Tt has often been suggested that the bil’liance of the sun’s disk is due to in car’descent particles of carbon, and ’ bin a few years past the presence of ; : bon in the sun has been demonstrat d by the spectroscope. irately Prof, i le, the director of the Yerkes ob servatory, has shown that there is a ■h‘n layer of carbon In the lower part the sun’s atmosphere. It surrounds the solar globe like a luminous shell, and, under normal conditions, is prob ably not more than 500 miles above the attn’s surface. But when an eruption t'kes place, from beneath, the carbon ln-er, like all the other constituents cf the solar atmosphere, is broken up and locally dispersed by the tremen dous agitation. I.arReat American Flaga. George Main of thU 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 flags for the Pierce and Bu chanan campaigns.—Concord Patriot. Monkeyi Escape. Two monkeys have escaped from their cage In the garden of t'he 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.

An account of the blue rose has been given by the German gardeners in Slavonia, Chwclka and Bitz, who are cultivating It. Reports came of blue roses that grew wild in Servia, and a speolmen 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 roses retain their blue, the plants will be for ! sale In 1901.—New York Sun. I - A Sure Coffee Tut. There Is no drink more delicious than a cup of coffee when the beverage Is made from the beet seed. To test «ffee put a spoonful gently on the top of a glass of water. If the coffee la 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. i A Wonderful Natural Urldga. Down on Pine creek, near Camp Verde. Ariz., 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, an 1 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. Carrier Pigeon* Armed. In China carrier pigeons are pro tected from birds of prey by apparatus consisting of bamboo tubes fastened to the birds' bodies. As the pigeon flies the action of the air passing through the tubes produces a shrill whistling sound, which keeps the birds of prey at a distance. Preferred Water. One sensible man in YVinterport.Me., 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. THE MADSTONE SELDOM FAILS Wonderful Properties Claimed for n Memphis Possession. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: There is in the house of Mrs. H. It. Beebe of 73 Dunlap street, Memphis, Tenn., a wonderful madstone, which for 75 years has enjoyed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cures of hydrophobia. Mrs. John Shelton, the sister of Mrs, Beebe, is the owner of the stone. It was willed to her by her father, a minister in the Chris tian church, to whom it was presented by a poor German woman in his par ish. The pastor made good use of It for more than half a century. In all those years only two persons treated with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for over nine days; the other was a farmer, too busy with his crop to permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel ton lost her father twenty years ago. She has used the madstone constantly since and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treating. People come from far and near to be treated. In many instances dumb brutes that have been bitten by rabid dogs have died, while people bitten by the same dogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the animals were mad. The stone is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was being treated for hydrophobia. He had been bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawed the stone off, but tried to chew it into bits. The stone is applied by being first put in hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there is more than one wound the treatment is extended to twenty-four hours. Lottery Scheme for Spain. Under the auspices of the Spanish government a great lottery scheme will be launched in Madrid August 1, the receipts of which, minus the prizes, will be turned over to the government for its most pressing needs. It is thought that by September the sala ries of civil and military servants re cently suspended can then be made good. Circulars are being sent out all over Europe, and it is expected that 500,000,000 pesetas, or about $100, 000,000, will be netted by the govern ment. There are five capital prizes of 600,000 pesetas each. The lottery Is now new in Spain, but Spanish lot tery has never been popular in other states of Europe, investors preferring to take their chances with the Dutch or Prussian lotteries. The Spanish lottery in 1897 brought ths treasury 3,000,000 pesetas, in the same year the Portuguese lottery gained 1,750,000 milrels (nearly $2,000,000). The lot tery is authorized in other countries of Europe. In Italy last year the government gained 62,000,000 lire ($12, 400,000), showing that the poor lazza rone was not without his savings. In Holland the ofllclal lotteries gained $300,000; in Denmark the winnings amounted to about half a million more. But the Prussian lottery, which is annually operated under the direct authority of the state, is the most pop ular. There are a number of prizes of 500,000 marks every year, and in 1897 the receipts of the treasurer amounted to over 100,000,000 marks.— New York Times. Mot Infallible. Harriet Martineau, the English au thor, was shrewd and practical, and had what men are pleased to call a “masculine intellect.” But she was not always correwt in her deductions, a fact illustrated by the following anecdote, told in her "Memoirs” by Sir Charles Murray, who was then the English con sul-general in Egypt: One afternoon we met at the villa of my old friend, S. W. Larking, on the banks of the Mahamoudieh canal. In the course of our stroll through the garden we came to a small gate, the pattern of which was new to Miss Martineau, who was walking in front. She stopped, and looking at the gate in an attitude of Intense admiration, exclaimed: “How truly Oriental! What wonderful taste these easterners have in design!” She went on, and as Larking and I followed through the gate, he whispered to me, “I got it out last week from Birming ham.” Advantage or Being a Kalner. “Vaterlandlose Geselin, ’ '‘fellows without a country,” the phrase used by the kaiser to designate the social dem ocrats a few years ago, has been ad judged libelous by a Prussian court If used by a less exalted person. The phrase was applied in the late elec tion by a conservative candidate to some electors who voted for his Polish opponent, and he has been condemned to pay for it. Life of a Queen llee. The life of the queen bee 13 from three to four years; that of the drone is not easily estimated, as it dies from violence, while the worker lives from three to six months. Bees have been known to occupy one hive for 46 con secutive seasons. Explosive Power of Water. It has been demonstrated that the explosive power of a sphere of water only one inch In diameter is sufficient to burst a brass vessel having a re sisting power of 27,000 pounds.
