past few days there has been a gentleman
in town selling n patent burglar-alarm
which works something on the style OF n
pistol. 1t is fastened on the door or win
dow, and when either is opened spring
is thrown against a blank cartridge, caus-

After explaining the mechanism to his wife

accompanies the machine he placed in it a
No. 81. He then went on the outside and
attempted to enter. The thing worked
like charm. His wife heard the eXplO-

head. The bullet was extracted by ply
sician, and William says he is satisfied with
its workings,
