Over 100 tools and processes, which are
marvels of ingenuity and scientific
knowledge, have been invented by safe
burglars. A recent burglars outfit capt
ured by the police consisted of little
giant knob breaker, diamond drill and
q high explosive Of the nature of dyna-
mite, but put up in the form of a pow
der. 1t would open the strongest bank

carried in the pockets of an ordinary
coat.-Rochester Democrat.
