A bank in a Western state had its safe located within ten feet of the street window, thus making it visible to everyone who passed. In front of the safe at night burned an aro light, while the safe door was arranged so that its opening would ring a bell in the cashier's sleeping apartments by means of an electric connection. After banking hours the burglar called on the occupants, representing himself as an Inspector of the electrio light company, thus gaining access to the top -of the building, where he short-circuited the electrio wires and thus prevented the ringing of the cashier's belL That night after the street cars stopped running, the burglar cut the trolley wire at two points about six hundred feet apart Taking one end of the ploce between two buildings and placing it in a cistern, the other end was connected to the electrio wire, thus making a "ground" and putting out the arc lights in the bank.

"Your letter vou will know it The fleets of all the world are witness to the revolution wrought in naval ships by the American monitor. All the naval powers were quick to see and adopt the armor idea, and they have ever since been engaged in rebuilding their navies, while we have been content to witness the results of their experiments until it was necessary for us to rebuild our own navy. We waited wisely. The great guns, many weighing 110 tons, with which England and other nations armed their monster ships, are now declared by Admiral Hornby to be failures. He says moderate-sized guns of about twenty-five tons each are the best This is another American idea, developed in our new navy.

Our new navy steel guns, long and comparatively light, are undoubtedly the best in the world. the safe is placed is rarely blown with glycerine. It is generally opened by drilling a two or three-inch hole between the handle and the combination lock. This cuts off the locking bolt, and the door opens when the handle is turned. Safes with round doors which are screwed in are often opened experimentally by building a well of putty at the upper part of the joint and exploding about a teaspoonful' of glycerine on the outside, tho result being to cut out the top of the outer plate ot metal.

A large well, embracing the cupped portion, 1b then made, and two ounces of glycerine placed therein, which feeds around the threads in about ten minutes, tearing the door and part of the frame out when exploded. One round door is mentioned, which was found to be so tight in the threads that glycerine would not flow. This was opened by first cupping out the inside plate, as just explained, and pouring half a teaspoonful of glyoerlne into the opening. This soon passed down the joint between the plates, and when exploded brought off the outside plate and some of the screws holding it in place. Glycerine being introduced into these holes and exploded brought off the second plate, and this process was continued until in twenty minutes the entire door was lying on the floor in pieces.
