An ingenious form Of electric safe
~ lamp is now made for use in dan.
gerUus mines, powder magazines and
oil places where an accidental break
age Of the glass bulb might lead 30
an explosion. In order 10 entirely
eliminate the chance of any such
danger the inventor has inclosed the
lamp proper In an absolutely air,
proof lantern, the popularity Of his
device being the means Of switching
the light on and of. The wires are
attached TO terminals on the base Of
the lantern, and underneath the lamp
socket there is a small pair of bellows
which makes the necessary contact
on being slightly inflated.
On the cap of the lantern is an air
valve to which a rubber pear shaped
syringe can be attached. On com.
pressing this the bellows becomes
distended and switch the light ON.
Should the lantern fall and be broken,
the escape of the compressed air re-
leases the switch and instantly cuts
off the current. Moreover, should
the interior lamp happen to be
broken, the superhuous air fills up
the vacuum, and the same effect takes
place. New York Telegram.

The n,eh. Color of a Valuable Cat.

The Persian cat may be seen. in
many colors. Very beautiful is that
shade technically called blue" but
perhaps more familiar to us as Nal
tese. A superb specimen of this color
a few years ago lived royalty in a
house where visited. She was
named after a queen of old, and nc
royal parsonage bore herself more
magnifcently, am sure. One of
very rich colors, also seen in New
York, was deep orange running to
smoke color. Nothing could be more
exquisite to look at, though this mot
tied effect is not considered ''the
thing" and detracts greatly from the
value of the wearer.
The black Persian with orange col
ored eyes is one Of the rarest and
most highly priced of the race, and
the pure white is perhaps not second
in estimation There are also several
varieties of tabbies, and in nearly
every one the deep yellow eye is the
most desired. The eyes should be
large and full; the hair should line
the ears and fringe the legs and even
the toes of this beautiful BEAST

How tho Thief Must Kick Himselr.

Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and
jeweler, was looking over a lot of unre-
deemed pledges yesterday when he
found something which made his hair
fairly stand on end. About year ago
young man called at the store of Mr..
Stone and said he desired to borrow
some money from the Office on some per-
sonal property. The property consisted
of "a valise, an overcoat, suit of cloth
ing and gold watch. The amount
loaned on the goods was $45, and the
man who secured the loan said that he
would call in the course of few days
and redeem the property. The goods
were placed in the vault and have re-
mained there undisturbed ever since.
When the Dlnsty old satchel was taken
out OF the vault yesterday it was found
to be in the same condition as it was at
the time it was placed in the room for
safe keeping. The clothing had been
made into separate package. The va
lise was broken open, and inside was
found red leather belt considerably the
worse for wear. The belt was taken
out, and in handling it was noticed that
it was very heavy and had little pockets
along the side.
Mr.. Stone took the belt out into the
front room Of the store and opened the
pockets. Out rolled gold pieces. double
eagles, to tine number Of "a. They were
as bright and shiny as the day they were
taken from the mint, and they looked as
though they had just been taken from
the bank. The coins were all Of the
same date, 1890. The money legally be-
longs to the finder unless some person
from whom it was taken, as it was ap-
parently stolen, proves his property

Points About Hanging Pioture..

Pictures should never Be hung too
high. You often see a choice little
painting hung SO high that you
would have to mount a chair to see
what the subject is. Always hang
them SO that they can be easily seen
by person of medium height. 1t is
considered to be in better taste to use
two nails instead of one. It gives a
more symmetrical effect, and indeed
it is worth considering as a matter Of
safety. Be very careful to hang pic
lures in the proper light. If they are
to be seen in a strong light, do not
put them in an obscure corner and if
painted in bright colors do not place
where the sunshine will fall ON them.
