STEAM SAFEs.-In another column will be
found an advertisement of Sanborn's Steam
Fire-Proof Safe. The principle involved in
the construction of this safe is entirely new
and one which is peculiarly adapted to effect
the object intended in the construction of all
safes, viz, to render them .fre-proof. Various
degrees OF approximation to perfection in this
respect have been attained by the inventors Of
other safes, but Sanborn's invention has been
proved by the most satisfactory tests to be ex-
actly what it's manufacturers represent.

WE saw by the Boston journal last week,
that Mr.. Newcomb, of this city, had made a
plan of an Opera House, to be erected on Tenn
pie street the coming season. This is mis-
take, and probably the correspondent got his
idea from Mr.. Newcomb receiving plans OF two
new opera houses in Paris,-the Theatre
Imperial Du Chatelet," and the Theatre
Lyrique Imperial The plan of the latter
shows about what we need here with the ex-
ception of few aute-rooms, that would, per-
haps prove unnecessary.

Discovery Of sauriaB Remains In Scot
land

The Inverness Courier says: ga
very interesting addition has just been
made TO the Elgin Museum, of por-
ton of jaw of an extinct crocodile or
allied saurian animal, from a sand
stone quarry at Alves. 1t has the dou-
BILE row of teeth of the modern inhab-
itants of the Nile and Ganges; large
spec men of one of which has been
placed beside Is for comparison, but
the teeth of the one In stone are at
least double the size of the recent ones.
In other respects they are exactly anal
agous-the Two rows OF teeth being
similarly placed and striated alike. In
the fossil specimen several of the teeth
have fallen ont, Dut their deep sockets
have been preserved, aud are faithfully
exhibited in the stone, while the others
have been well used, and are rounded
on top by bones which it had crushed
in its tremendous jaws when alive.
This unique relic was saved by one of
the quarrymen while in the act of put
ting 1t on a cart to be sent away, and
noticing curious projecting mass at
one corner he broke it off, and so saved
it for the very valuable collection in
which 1t has now been placed. There
can be no doubt of the rock at Alves
being of the old red sandstone, and
our Ecglish scientific friends will find
it difficult to assign this fossil to any
newer formation, as they have done
with the other bone beds at Moray
shire. This saurian, in fact, will likely
establish that the seas of the old red
period had shores with large lagoons
or estuaries rich in a tropical vegeta-
ton, and Astounding in auphibious
reptiles We are glad to understand
that, on the representation of Sir Rod
erick Murchison, the Royal Society of
London have lately voted a handsome
sum toward the exploration of the
bone beds at Lossiemouth and other
disputed or doubtful localities of
Morayl and.

A DIGGER's WEDDMG.--A curious
circumstance recently occurred at a
"digger's wedding" at Ballarat, Aus
tralia. The bridegroom on arriving at
the church waited for some time, but
all in vain, for the coming of his bride,
upon whom he had literally lavished
some ESQ to 9200 in jewelry, dresses,
ETC., and it at last became evident to
him that she had no intention of keep
ing her appointment. This being the
case, and being DESTROYS of not having
his journey and trouble'all to no pdr-
pose, he proposed to one of the brides
maids-to whom he had previously
made tender of his hand and heart,
but who had rejected HIM that she
should reconsider her refusal. Admir-
log, probably, the philosophic spirit
displayed by our friend, the young lady
did reconsider, and retracted her re-
fusal, ana, apparently very much to
the satisfaction of both, and certainly
to the amusement of those present,
they were made man and wife.

A PROFESSOR AS A DEAD BEAT. "A

his love of Joke, even if it be against
himself, bought railroad ticket at the
depot in Pittsfeld, Mass, on Monday
morning, the 9th inst, on his return
home after his Sunday labors, and, as
he retired from the window, s5inadvert-
entity put his wallet into an uaaccus-
toned pocket. Discovering shortly
after, as he thought, that it was gone,
he returned to the window, where he
found an inoffensive young man in the
act of paying for ticket from wallet
which was the counterpart of his own.
Instantly he seized upon it, to the ut
ter amazement of his victim, The lat
ter, however, Tegaining his wits, Crap
Piled with the Professor, and soon had
regained his property. About this

A VICTIM OF THE ILLINOIS INSANE
ASYLUM. - Eldridge Bean, foreman
In Pitts lumber mill, in Detroit,
we are informed, was a victim of the
barbarous cruelties practieed on the
patients in the Illinois Insane Asylum.
Mr.. Bean removed from this city to
Kankskee, III. During his residence
in the latter place, he suffered from an
attack of brain fever, which affected
his reason. He was placed in the State
Insane Asylum for safe keeping. Hear
ing of the reported cruelties his
friends recently procured his relense.
His face was terribly SCARED, and his
ankles were liberated where the fas-
Jennings had been adjusted. On hear
ing the name "Charlie" pronounced
he would fall into paroxysms of terror.
1t was afterward learned that Charlie
was the name of his former keeper,
who had been accustomed to beat him
violently. The unfortunate man has
been very harmless and docile in the
care ofahis friends but is extremely
filthy in his habits. He is in dying
condition from the effects of the treat
ment received in the asylum. Detroit
Post, 1911.
