to Contend Nitroglycerin In Safe Bursting In the expressive slang that per meates police circles throughout the country a yegg is one of the dan gerous criminal class The question is often asked What Is a yegg and how did the expression originate An answer to the latter part of the query will lead to an eluci dation of the first Some years ago when the United Slates government was experimenting with high explosives wishing to secure some death dealing and destructive shell that would cause more damage than any hefore manufactured some one suggested that nitroglycerin he tried Up to that time this most pow erful of explosives had not heen util ized in this way Tho government experts went to work and the results of their experi ments were from time to time pub lished broadcast through the commu nity At last they succeeded In mak ing a shell in which nitroglycerin was the chief component part and which made all former ones sink into insig nificance In a town in the middle west at tho time there lived a man named John Yegg In his earlier days he had been one of the most expert electricians as well as all round experienced mechan ics in the country Later through drink and bad associates he had descended to a life of crime his principal art be ing that of safe blowing He was attracted by the published accounts of the experiments of the government authorities with nitro glycerin The thought struck him Why could not this be used in blowing safes The method at that time was to drill a hole iu the safe to be wrecked Gil this with powder or dynamite and then touch the fuse This method however required considerable time to pull off a job and was noisy and dangerous Yegg went to work on the nitro glycerin method Lie tried it and it was a complete success Furthermore after he had performed job after job he had the police of the country baf fled They did not know how the work was done Yegg instructed others in the art and soon from one end of the country to the other safes were being wrecked but by what man uer no one knew Yeggs method was to take some of the explosive which he and those with him called soup and by the way this term is still extant and pour it in the crack of the safe near the hinges of the door The small aperture was then covered with soap to hold the explosive in place The fuse was applied and with the explosion off went the doors slick and clean The entire job took but a few minutes It remained for a young Pinkerton de tective to solve the matter on a safe that was blown in Coldwater Mich where a bank was wrecked and many thousands of dollars secured The crime was traced to Yegg and some of his companions and they were found guilty and sent to prison Thereafter those who employed the nitroglycerin instead of the older methods were called yeggmen or yeggs This was the beginning of the term but since that time the application of it has grown greatly Today a yegg viewed from whatever aspect is the most dangerous criminal with whom the police of the country have to deal He is one who rides the country oer on freight trains working through the south in the winter and migrating to more exhilarating climes during the summer Lie will beg when he is hungry and will steal and commit murder when he sees an opportunity of benefiting himself Today there are thousands of yeggs scattered throughout the country Mos of them belong to some certain band each one of which has a leader He is the king It is his duty to enlist recruits To him also is shipped all the loot and he in turn converts it into money and places the amount to the credit of the member sending it in For this the king receives a commis sion Most of the yegg gangs carry what is known as a kitten with them The kitten is a boy young man or crip ple whose duty it is to visit houses and places of business apparently beg ging food or selling shoestrings lead pencils etc and who then reports to the gang the lay of the land so that when the time comes for pullimr off the job all are familiar with the prem ises The kittens are often runaway boys and later become yeggs them selves destined to follow a life of crime and degradation Pittsburg

Filmy Dust Train Is Tossed About by the Sun No bridal veil was ever so filmy as a comets tall Hundreds of cubic miles of that wonderful appendage are out weighed by a jarful of air By means of the spectroscope we have magically transported -this fairy plume to our laboratories and have discovered that it Is akin to the blue flame of our gas stoves for the gas by which we cook and the delicate tresses of a comet both consist of com binations of hydrogen and carbon ap propriately called by chemists hydro carbons When it first appears in the heavens far removed from the sun a comet is a tailless blotch of light As a comet swims on toward the sun the hydrocarbons of the tail split up under the increasing heat into hy drogen gas and hydrocarbons of a higher boiling point With a still closer approach to the sun these more resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield to the increasing heat and are decom posed in the form of soot Interplanetary space is airless hence the soot cannot burn It must pursue the comet in the form of a dust train The particles constituting that train are small enough to be toyed with by the pressure of sunlight No matter where the comet may be in its orbit whether it has just entered the solar system or is speeding away that plume is inevitably tossed away from the sun just as if a mighty wind were blowing it from the central lu minary The appendage of shining dust Is the symbol of the triumph of light over solar gravitation Harpers Magazine THE PLANET JUPITER What the Man of Science Has to Say About Its Wonders The jolly Jovians are said to be real ities and not myths Not only are there said to be inhabitants on Jupiter but also on some of his moons in the midst of which the vast planet 1300 times the size of the earth spins at such tremendous speed that it causes around the equator a furious wind that blows perpetually at the rate of 230 miles an hour Those who believe in the Jovian say that his height runs from fifty to fifty five feet and that he exists for about S00 to 1000 of earth years The Jupiter year how ever consists of 144 months The oceans of Jupiter torn into fury by the hurricanes would pay no attention to one moon such as moves the tides of our earth and it takes no fewer than five of these satellites to perform this work for Jupiter They travel at va rious rates of speed some flying close to Jupiters surface others far off They have atmospheres like ours on earth and a moonlight on Jupiter is indeed a glorious sight for these moons have a variety of color two are blue one is yellow and one red Jupi ter needs all her moons at night for illumination for without them her five hours of darkness would be black in deed So distant is the sun that broad daylight is hardly brighter than twi light on earth and one lone moon would not reflect enough of the suns rays to guide the Jovian footsteps The Human Touch Janie had a doll that would say Papa and Mamma What became of it Janes mother is an advanced per son and she said the doll was an inex cusably childish reminder of a grossly benighted period And what did she do She threw it in a dark closet where Janie didnt dare to go And then a day or two later she happened to step on it in the dark and it shrieked Mam ma so naturally that she fell over in a faint and bumped her head and had two buckets of water poured over her before she recovered consciousness Cleveland Plain Dealer An Anticlimax Sir Henry Irving was frequently a victim to the interjections of gallery gods When playing Macbeth one night he had reached that dramatic moment in the banquet scene when in dreadful fear he bids the ghost of Banquo to vanish Hence horrible shadow Unreal mockery hence he exclaimed and shuddering convul sively dropped to his knees covering his face with his robe As the ghost vanished a shrill voice in the gallery broke the momentary silence Its all right now Enery hes gone London Bellman Achill Island There are few people who once hav ing seen the island of Achill can for get its beauty The island lies close to the west coast of Ireland When the skies are blue mountains green and smiling bogs clad in purple and pink heather and the whole pictur esque

she was just twenty two and she sticks to the same figures today Cleveland Leader In His Line First Ball Player I was out so late last night that my wife wouldnt let me in Second Ball Player Well you
