scopic plants are what the botauists
call "bacteria," the smallest form of
vegetable life. So small are they that

extend one inch. They have different
forms. some being round. some oval.
some rod-sbaped, while others are
much the shape of a corkscrew. In
all cases they are so small that one
needs powerful microscope to exam
inc them. and in no case can we per-
ceive them singly with the naked eve.
When countless millions of them are
grouped together in u mass or colony
we can see them about rs we are able
TO see an approaching army OF which
we are totally unable to distinguish u

bacteria move about; and this is truo
of most of them. although there are
some which do not appear to move at
all. but remain fixed wherever they
find good feeding place. Those that
have motion behave in very peculiar

The curtain of life falls in many de-
ceptive folds over countless sad and
tragic happenings in this mad, restless
and feverish struggle for social posi-
ton and worldly possession, which re.
main forever covered by the shield of

sor from conviction, but send him forth
conscience-striclen wanderer from

little while. will draw aside the veil
wee bit and picture to you life after
dark.
The bank craftsmen lead the crimi.
nal procession, the vocation requiring a
high degree Of mechanical education, a
knowledge Of character, fearless &C.
ton, and fund of 'intuition," for they
can see more through steel plates than
many can through glass. They mostly
travel in trios, dress well, live at the
best of hotels, enter into the charmed
circles of society; in fact, gain the con-
fidence of the best people in the locali-
ty. By long odds they are the most
desperate of criminals, as they place
no value on human life, and when at
bay they shoot to kill every time. They
take dangerous chances to secure their
plunder, knowing full well that the
law is most exacting in their case,
and if caught it means long penal SER
vitude.
Of all the criminal pursuits the pre-
vailing fad bracing the bank in broad
day, is the most exciting, uncertain, as
well as foolhardy. Desperadoes of the
plains indulge in these pranks, and
never the genteel expert. 1t requires
but little previous preparation. Lunch
hour is the most favorable time, as GUS
toners and the clerks are absent. The
knife and blackjack are the only
weapons used, as the job must be done
quickly and quietly. In this game of
chance the life of the cashier wGvers in
the balance.
