That deaf mutes, by means Of improved syS-
TENS Of education, are now enabled to take
part in many ordinary vOcations which u few
years ago were closed to them is a subject
for congratulation but it is doubtful whether
the case Of Antoine Fournier, who was
arrested last evening for pocket-pick'ng, will
afford much encouragement to the philanthr0-
pically inclined. AS d lady was awaiting tho
CLAIMANT omnibus near the Church of Saint
German des Pres she was approached by
Fournier, a young man of twenty-five, who
carried a card inscribed, Take pity on a poor
deaf mute" She gave the man a penny, but
instead OF going away he mixed in the
crowd surrounding the omnibus Office. A
few moments later the same lady felt a pull
at her dress, and looking round saw the deaf
mute with his fingers in her pocket. By
some extraordinary accident he had been
able to get his hand into it, but was quite
unable to withdraw it owing to the volu.
minous folds Of the skirt. Fourier, who was
at once ARRESTED and taken to the police
station, made q written confession OF his
guilt.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC THIEF DETECTOR
From The Times Weekly Edition, Aug. goth

For some time past Mr.. Triquet, a cigar
merchant, of Toledo, Ohio, has missed cigars
from his showcase in his office, and although
the premises were watched by detectives
for several days nothing unusual was observ-
ed. AS a last resort he applied to an inven-
tor Of a Aash-light Photographic apparatus
worked by electricity. The apparatus was
placed in the office and left to itself. A few
DAYS later it was found to contain q fash
photograph showing two boys opening the
glass case. The picture led to their appre-
hension by the police and subsequent com
INITIAL to prison. The apparatus consists of
a camera placed in a box, which is closed by
a shutter operated by a spring and escape
ment released by an eleetro-magnet. The
necessary flash light is got by means
of a match which presses against a rough
disc. An electromagnetic on the top Of the
camera box when excited by Il current re.
leases a detent, and allows the rough disc
10 strike a light with the match aud ignite
the flashing powder. All this occurs
in a fraction Of a second, and the shutter
closes on The camera, retaining the photo
graph. The current is supplied by a bait
ery and is started in the circuit by an ar
rangem ent of contacts which are unconscious
" closed by the thief. Thus the boy in opens
ing the glass case unawAI es completed the
electric circuit which immediately exposed
the camera, and kindled the fash light much
to their amaZement.

The municipality has to day voted asum

adding the daily official returns up to the

onca. The Sanitary committee have received
full powers from tho corporation to act in
case of emergency, and an assistant to DR.,
Hope has been appointed, and reports will be
made day by day to the committee as to the
health IF the town and port. Southampton,
happily, has an ample and pure water supply,
it being drawn from the Hampshire chalk
downs, at Otterbourne, three miles from Win
chester; while the p~opulOus suburbs of Free

as we'll az most of the villages, have an equal

Teegraphing last night our Grimsby cor
respondent states: The two sailors from the
steamship TalaveraI who are now on board the
floating hospital at Grimsby are progressing
favourably. There is little doubt that they are
suffering from Asiatic cholera, one of them be-
ing collapsed and lived when removed.
This morning a public notice, posted on
the street pillars used for advertisements,
announced to he inhabitants Of Berlin that
one case of cholera had occurred in this olty,
namely, the wife Of All innkesper IN Hamburg,
VINO arrived here last week and on being Ia
ken i'll was Immediately transported to the
Toabit Hospital The population of the town
were, however, treasured by the official as
s@ertion that no other case had been registered
and that the precautions that had been taken
led one to hope that Berlin would be protected
from further Invasion. The discussions held
bv the Federal Governments have been OF a
satisfactory nature. and 1t Is now known that
the authorities are forearmlng themselves to
the utmost. All the chief municipal authorl-
ties have returned from leave in order to DO
ut their posts. Great reliance is PLACED in
Berlin on the purity Of the water supply and
/ may here mention that this is due to the
old English water works company, and that
the former manager Of that company, Mr..
Henry Gill is still the able manager of the Ber-
lin municipal water works. l may mention
too, that the English engineer who has drain
ed Warsaw is now in Berlin, and has assured
his friends that no case of cholera has OCCUR

there are and have been cases of real Aslatic
cholera in Paris and other French cities,
but on that account there is no ground for
exaggerated alarm. The wisest plan is not to
attempt to conceal the disease, but to oppose
It's spread by judicious precautions.
The inhabitants Of Havre, who since the
outbreak of the cholera in their city have
behaved with praiSeworthy courage-persls-
tently refusing to become panic-strlken, and
going about their daily occur atoms as if the
scourge did not exist-are very justly In

The Mouth OF the Pope.

An Italian daily supplies the world
with pleasant little anecdote upon the
personal vanity of his holiness Pope
Leo XIII. The nuns inhabiting con-
vent near Rome had joined in en-
broidering magnificent carpet, the
center Of which displayed likeness Of
the pope. When the clerical messenger
unrolled the splendid gobetn before the
eyes Of Leo the latter scrutinized his
likeness and pulled face, saying,
querulously; THAT mouth is twice Is
large as mine. would not have 90
ugly face said 70 be mine, even to be
trampled under foot Take IL away!"
The messenger was speechless. Then
one Of the papal courtiers said: WON
an is talkative. 1t is not surprising that
even the mouth Of your holiness under
female manipulation should have
grown beyond all measure" The pope
laughed and ordered the carpet to be
accepted with thanks

They Don't Brag, But When Nerve IL
Wanted, They Have 1t.
81 was one of the party of eight once
held up by q lone highwayman," said
p. j. Marlin, a bridge contractor, to a
'Globe-Democrat man. 81 was travelling
by stage in Montana. The party con-
sisted of two army officers, aspeculator,
four miners and myself. The stage had
been held up pretty frequently, so we
all went fixed for trouble. Every man
had brace of six-shooters and we were
just aching to have the road agents
tackle US, at least we talked that way.
We commented very unfavorably upon
men who yielded to the demands of the
'freebooters without struggle, and
promised them a warm time if they
tackled us. One man had little to say.
He was the speculator, a red-headed
man with squint. Finally one of the
army officers asked him what he would
do If the robbers attacked US, and he
replied that he did not know.
'As we swung around sharp bend
in the road the stage pulled up with q
jerk, the driver threw up his hands, and
almost before we knew 1t we were look
ing into the barrel of Winchester. Well,
sir, that lone robber marched US out
and stood us up in line with our hands
above our heads. Then he threw each
man small sack and made him pull it
over his head We all complied but
one. The red-headed speculator pulled
his gun and shot the bandit so full of
holes that he died before he could touch
the ground Then he climbed up,
knocked the driver off the box and
drove the stage into the next station
with the most crestfallen lot of brag-
.garts aboard that ever wore gun and
neglected to use It,"

BAD AIR IN THEATERS.

II IL the Worst That Is Brcathed Any
where, Except In Mines.
Theater-going constitutes The chief
amusement perhaps OF majority Of
the people in our cities and larger towns,
says c. S. Montgomery IN the En-
Eineering Magazine for May. Even
Villages have Masonic hall OF school
building that can be equipped with
scenery and footl!ghts or an "opcra
house," perhaps on the second floor OF
a wooden structure in proximity to the
tavern or the livery stable. Yet ser
les Of fatal disasters was required to
make even the best theaters of this
country safe. The suifocation and Gre
nation of nearly two hundred people
IN the Brooklyn theater SO dismayed
the public that the attendance at
Amusements in halls was meager until
the managers widened and increased
the number Of their exits, hinged their
doors to open outward, built brick par
titions between stage and auditorium.
hung asbestos curtains in the arch, put
wire protectors over gas jets, placed
sprinklers on the roof and hose In the
orchestra space, and had firemen ON
duty about the premises at every per-
,fornance. Theaters in America are
safer now than they ever were before,
and while q number of s'death-traps''
are yet among them the disfavor
these incur is slowly relegating
them to do service as shops,
factories, and warehouses. It is al
legged on scientific authority, and
seems quite worthy of belief, that the
air of theaters is the worst that is
breathed, except in mines, for there are
no other buildings into which people
are SO closely crowded for hours at q
time. Prisons, barracks, schools, fac
tories, hospitals, offices-places that are
occupied constantly or which, being
used in daytime, require lighting by
many windows, that do some service as
ventilators-ere bad enough; yet in
many mills, with their thousands of op-
eratives and with chemical fumes and
floating dust in the air, the lungs take
in less impurity than is received in the
theater and the concert hall That the
mill, with its air containing fifteen per
cent of impurity, works more harm
than the theater with thirty per cent. Of
poison in its atmosphere, both nlustra-
tions being extreme-is due to the fact
that the operatives breathe the fifteen
per cent. adulteration, say, sixty hours
a week, while the theater-goer, who
perhaps attends a performance two
nights in the seven, takes but six or
seven hours of his mixture. Still, lack
Of immediate bad results at the play
does not excuse managers and owners
from their neglect to furnish air for
their patrons

A locomotive to tho North Pole.

A new means to reach the north pole
has been proposed by Prof. Damaskin,
of Athens, Greece. He has constructed
q locomotive the wheels Of which have
sharp edges on the outside rim, which
easily cut into ice and are shaped in q
manner to hold fast in it. Thus they
move forward. The locomotive Is moved
by steam, which serves at the same
time to warm the entire space in which
the travellers live. The inventor says
his engine will run thirty-one miles an
hour; that means that the pole can b
reached from Spitzenbergen IN twenty
hours. supposing all was trus thaG the
inventor says bis engine could do, how
