A MOUNTAIN THAT MOVES.

Over in Churchill county, Nevada, there
Is great curiosity, mention of which we dc
not remember to have ever seen in the
papers. This curiosity is nothing more nor
less than travelling mountain of sand. The
winds have gathered together great heap
OF sand and keep it constantly moving like
an immense glacier. II crawls steadily
along over valleys and through canyons,
never ceasing, the sands making low musi..
al sound as they rub against each other.
much as they do around the Sphinx every
morning at sunrise, which gave rise to the
legend that the stony statue was greeting
the morning sun with song.
But the moving mountain Of Churchill
contains still another popularity. While
Its sides are symmetrically formed and lay
in folds like solidifed waves there is no one
at the top. Instead Of its going to a peak
there is hole there made by counter winds,
and whoever is rash enough to scale the
ridge and pass into that hole pays for his
rashness with his life, for the tickle sands
yield beneath his feet, and the more he
struggles to get back the faster he sinks
until be is smothered to death. The In.
dams tell of several Of their tribe having
been thus swallowed up. and no trace has
ever been found of them since. Reese Rieer

HOTEL THIEVES.
Clever Criminals who nre Intelligent
Adr0it and with Plenty of Nerve.

Clever Criminals who nre Intelligent,
AdrOit and with Plenty of Nerve.
81 see by the dispatches that the hotel
thieves are making business for the detec-
lives in Chicago and the West generally"
says the Philadelphia Chief of Detectives,
Kelly. Aside from the expert bank burg
lar and the house breaker, the only crimi-
nails who can command any respect from
the detective is the expert hotel thief" add
cd the Chief, rehectively. "Why? Be-
cause he must be intelligent, adroit and
possessed of a perfect nerve. In point OF
intelligence l would even rank the hotel
thief above the bank burglar or sneak, who
are accorded the front rank in the criminal
profession. Prerequisite to the hotel thief
ire education and good address, which is
usually obtained by travel. He is generally
dignifed, well but quietly dressed, and
with the general appearance of man OF
business. The crack hotel thieves ordinarily
travel in pairs, although they are, to oil APP
pearances, unknown to each other.
Tho first night after registering at o
hotel they sleep late, and, when reused by
the chambermaid, request her to call them
at noon. When the maid has completed her
labors in the corridor in which their rooms
are located their business begins. The
vacant rooms are located, and while one
thief stands on watch his confederate effects
an entrance to an unoccupied room by
means of skeleton key and closes the door
behind him. He then rapidly bores a hole
Immediately over tho bolt and fills up each
end with white putty. If the lock is dou-
BILE one, as is the case in many first clnss
hotels, small hole is drilled through it, so
that nippers can be used ON the inside lock
in turning the key after the victim hns re-
tired. A half dozen rooms can be fixed
in this way within an hour. This completes
the work for tho morning. The afternoon
is utilized in making themselves solid
with the regular guests over the bar and in
watching tho register for guests assigned te
!he fixed rooms.
When every one has gone to bed one
thief resumes his watch and pipes off tho
watchmen while his confederate works the
rooms. This is done in short order and the
thieves are away by daylight. The toolf
used by the hotel thieves are of the finest
tempered steel, and consist of bar key
used for opening big locks; set of sis
bits, arranged for either stem or tumblef
locks small drill, file, sectional stem
or wildly several pieces of wire and
pair of nippers. Some putty or pigrsent is
also included in the kit, which is easily car.
ried about the person. am glad to say
that we have not had o professional hotel
thief in Philadelphia during the past year."

The PHILOSOPHER.

The Philosopher.
Canst tell me, o philosopher
When ken beyond all common things,
How cleave the air the swallows wings2
The lark that, soaring upward, sings,
Still TO its equipoise II clings
Nor falls within thy reaching, sir.
OF life, o thou philosopher
ofnyTiads we cannot see,
Down in the deep unfathomed sea-
In broad dominion roaming free,
In mighty citadel to flee
Beyond the line and plummet, sir.
And say, o wise philosopher,
How rears the plant, its flower disclose?
Why to the sun its perfume flows?
And when Its petals fade and close,
Is it the last OF that poor rose,
And hath 1t bloomed In vain, sir?
And o, profound philosopher
Who built the earth who arehed the skies?
Are starry worlds our destinies?
And are we but poor, simple flies,
On wheels OF earth, or paradise,
Whose guider heedeth not, sir?

The RlYes Rom, Ahead.

Agood joke Is told on John Cummins,
one Of the popular engineers on the ionrth
division oil the Baltimore & Ohio road.
John has been anxious TO have race
with the Ohio River road, and has boosted
that he could beat any oil their engines
with 72l. On Wednesday night word was
sent 10 the Baltimore & Ohio depot at
AEoundsyille that the engineer Of engine
No. 0, OF the Ohio River road, would like
to try the speed OF his engine with the one
on train No. 4on the Baltimofe& Ohio.
AS engine 72l, In charge OF CUMMING, hap.
pened to be on No. 4 that night, he was
notified Of the fact and seemed only too
glad To run. Both. trains left Moundsville
ut 1926, and kept even until near Glen.
dale, when engine No. 5 shot ahead, leay.
ingthe other some distance behind. When
the Baltimore & Ohio train arrived at Ben.
wood the Ohio River train was blowing
for the blast furnace, half mile ahead.
Cumming feels very much mortified over
the result but still thinks BIO can beat the
Telegram. ~ 49, "
