Startling Fire-bug INDUSTRY.

"Burning houses and stores to orde,
Tor the purpose of securing insurance
money is anovel and startling industry, "
said Inspector McDevitt of the Insurance
Patrol to Philadelphia Time, reporter.
1T IS estimated that fully $50 of the
9oo FIRES that on an average occur an
nuaily IN this city are the work of pro.
iessloaal iire-bags, or, rs they are styled
IN their own circles, fireworks men.
the headquarters of the gang has been
located in New York city, and its mem.
bers sc supposed to operate through
agencies In philadelphia. Boston, Balti.
more, Washington and all the principal
cities Of the Fast"
The business guise of these agents and
their employees is generally that of u
glazier. The pol &C authorities of this
city are confident that there are several
"glnziers" i'll this C t., and that they
constitute regular agency for u New
York concern. These GLACIERS nomi-
nally go about to put glass in windows. "
said the Inspector, land they make a
practice OF stoppinga, the retail clothing
stores. and, with knowing wink ut the
proprietor, ask if thee is any business
on hand for them Fires made to orde,
by these agents generally happen among
the small retail clothing stores.
The New York fire furnishing firm
controls large clothing stores, from which
new and second hand goods are supplied
to tho roprictor, who wants to have his
establishment burned out. These goods
are sent in trunks to the business man,
who expects to pay n certain price for
them if they shall be consumed by fire.
II the goods are only partially destroyed
or damaged by water nominal sum is
paid for the hire Of them. The methods
OF firing houses pursued by these fire =
bugs are varied and they battle many
attempts to solve them. 1t is an or
roneous impression that the incendiarics
perform their work bv some kind of
machinery, for that would disclose their
business
The authorities feel confident that
many of the mysterious fires are started
from chemical combinations. Chem calls
are combined by these "glaziersr in pro-
portions that will explode ut almost any
time desired. x common way ofstartine
fire employed by the ire-bugs is by
filling lamp with combined coal oil
and henzinc. In almost all of the in
cendiary fires the lamp methods are
mostly used.

A Cure for Slooped Shouldcrs.

How often one hears the remark
"What fine, big fellow Mr.. So and-so
would be if he didn't stoop?" And still
such misfortune can easily he cured
The stopping figure and hating gait,
accompanied by the unavoidable weak
ness of the lungs, can be attended to and
finally cured by the very simple and
easily performed exercise of raising ones
self upon the toes in perfectly per
pcndicular manner several times da ly.
To take tins exercise properly one must
take IL perfect position, with the heels to.
gcthrr and the toes ut an angle of forty
five degrees. Then drop the arms life
lessy by the sides, animatng and ras-
ing the chc,t muscularly to its full ca
pacity; the chin should he well drawn

the ceilingahovc. Slowly raise upon the
balls of both icet to the grc.t.s posi-
bic height, thereby exercising MI the
muscles OF the legs and body; this done
then rcassumng the standing position
without swaying the body back ward out
OF the perfect line. Repeat this exercise
iirst on one foot and then on the other.
The result will be surprise to many to
know what powerful Strengthening. out
power this exercise has upon round and
stopped shoulders, and it will soon be
apparent that the lungs will begin to
show expansive development. lHiia-

of America. Some have been incl ned
to dispute the title with him, and the
result of this was a wager that Randall
could kill and dry pick 100 geese in ten

eighty geese. The novelty of the con-
test brought together great crowd.
Randall went confidently to his work,
and from the time he started little could
be seen of him in the cloud of feathers
which envcloped him. He won, how

sand-Covcroa Graves in the souaan


The tombs on the hill opposite As
souam, Egypt, opened in 1855 by Sir
Francs Grcnfell, Commander. in Chief
OF the Egyptian troops, are being rapidly
hidden again and covered with sand.
General Grenfell observed q stone step
at the edge of the river, and concluded
that 1T must he part of an ancient
stairway. Diggings revealed the truth
OF his conclusion, and the stairway, with
ninety two steps, was found to lead up
to a number of tombs, which the sand
from the desert had been completely
hiding from view for centuries. The
chambers are capacious tone measures
100 by 30 feet, and richly painted. The
sand has encroached again so rapidly
that entrance can be had through ONLY
two OF the portals except on hands and
knees. The hill is thought to be honey
combed with tombs still unopened.
One of the spots. near Assouam re-.
Gently made interesting, especially t.,
the English and American tourist. is
the English cemetery. 1t is situate
near the old syenitc qunrrics and tho
great obelisk, which still clings OH its
underside to the native rock. A mud
wall, whitewashed, encompasses it.
Since 1884 one hundred and forty
graves have been dug and filed by Eng
lish officers and soldiers. a white
wooden cross or stone slnb, inscribed
with name, age, birthplace and regi-
ment of the sleeper, marks every mound.
A tender feeling has arranged on the
mounds, in tasteful designs, fragments

rious change in some departments of our

niturc that will take up comparatively
no space. As rooms have grown smaller
and smaller, we furniture maker, have
had TO devise beds that take the place OF
whole set of furniture of the old style.
Some Of the beds made nowadays look
like bookcase when not in use for slccp-
ing purposes. You touch spring and
down comes n bed cudy made, with tho
bed clothing all in order; you touch
another spring and out comes wash
bowl and pitcher, and If you want TO sit
down, chair will be evolved from
another recess. Then there are dining
room tables that fold up against the wall
after the meal is ovcr, the sidcboard he.
comes n seat for several people, and cnmp
chairs enable the guests to crowd around
the festive board after the table is in
place. In the parlor the same sort of de-
vices are i'll use. The sofa folds up the

collapscs except the rent, VIII ch remains

''As the rooms in most flats havo now

Improving on the Mariners Commas


1t appears incredible that anv i'm
provemcnts could be made and talented
on that ancient ard phenomenal instru-
ment The mariners compass, but such is
the case, us was proved recently in an
English court of law. 1t has been shown
beyond doubt that when the compass is
used On steel built vessels or is placcd in
the vicin ty Of huge steel ordnance the
needle vlbratcs i'll such n rapid and
cratic manner rs to perplcx and mislead
the most cXper!en cd stecrsman and
pilot. ii was also found that Mt the
bombardmcnt Of Alexandria the com
passes of the warships were useless
through the tremendous vibrations.
while instruments invented by that
eminent scientist, Sir William Thomson.
in order to meet these perplexities, be-
haved in Il true and admirable manner.
The merits of this improved compass
were readily recognized by the members
OF the honorable guild of compass
makers. The members speedily avniled
themselves of these valuable improve
ments put the inventor has succeeded in
obtaining an injunction against them
and other makers unless they paid n
royalty. 1t is curious TO think that this
useful instrument that is said to have
been known 10 the Chinese twelve
centuries before Christ and was intro
duced 10 Europe by Marco Polo in 1860,
should be the cause of lawsuit as to its
ownership in the nineteenth century,
