San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE name of
the man arrested last night by Detec-

ago robbed Wells, Fargo & Co.'S safe
at Meriden, Miss, and secured $4,000.
Sommers was convicted and sentenced
to FIVE years Imprisonment, but made
his escape last August by hoodwinl1ing
the prison guard $3.50 reward offered
for his capture. Mr.. Pinkerton stated
that the story about his attempted as
sassination was without foundation.

English Farm Hands.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come to this country, they
find it extremely difficult to accommo-
date themselves to the current American
custom of eating but three meals day.
An English maid servant and nurse who
lived to be more than a hundred years
old averred that she had always been
accustomed to "a dew bit and break
fast, stay bit and dinner, a nommet,
a crummet, and bit after supper. !"
Extra meals are common enough during
the harvest season in this country. The
hasty breakfast at half-past three in the
morning is followed by ''stay Bit at
eight o'clock and by luncheon be-
tween the MONDAY dinner and the
after-sunset supper. In parts OF south
ern Pennsylvania the dinner hour is
eleven O'Clock IN the morning, and it
would not be difficult to show that
Americans living on the same meridian
are dining all the way from that hour
until seven in the evening. The great
mass Of country folk still dine at noon.

PROGRESS IN BURGLARY.
Safe-Cracking Has Become Science and
the Jimmy Is Obsolete.

Safe-Cracking Has Become Science and
the Jimmy Is Obsolete.
Burglary is trade. 1t has it's tricks,
its tools, and it's ups and downs. It is
a trade which, according to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, is continually
changing and improving. Methods of
high-class burglars that were in vogue
twenty years ago are hardly known
now. The thief's ''jimmy" is out of
date. Safe-blowing has given way to
safe-cracking. Four or five men, with
a few sticks of dynamite, rob a train
nowadays as easily as twenty men,
armed to the teeth, did it dozen years
ago. But in spite Of the changes the
motto of all low-grade crooks is: ''The
way to steal is to steal.'' They en-
brace every opportunity, and steal
whenever they can, often making a
bnngling job and getting nipped. After
a few terms in the penitentiary, how
ever, they are no longer low-grade
crooks, but have become educated pro-
fessionals The penitentiary is their
school. There they are taught all the
improvements of the s'trade,'' and there
many burglars devices are invented by
brainy but vicious men.

ORIGIN OF THE GREAT LAKES.

How Biologists Account for Their For
nation.
The question how the chain of great
lakes between the United States and
Canada originated is one that has long
occupied the minds of biologists. One
theory that has been widely circulated
asserts that the basins of the lakes were
excavated by glacial action during the
age of ice.
Another theory, more recently set
forth with great fullness, holds that the
lake basins were originally valleys hol-
lowed out by the action of water ages
ago when our continent had an eleva-
ton three thousand feet higher than it
has to-day. A great river appears to
have flowed at that time through the
depression now occupied by the lakes.
Later, when the glaciers came, an ex-
tensive sinking of the land occurred,
which was followed, after the disap-
pearance of the ice, by an elevation
again, but not to the height occupied
before.
During these changes. of level, and
especially when the reelevation of the
land occurred according to the theory,
the ancient valley or series Of valleys
was divided into basins by barriers of
rock and of glacial deposits thrown
across it. There is evidence that the
land toward the northeast was elevated
more rapidly than elsewhere, and this
fact is considered to account for the
broad barrier of rock which cuts off
the lake basins from the Atlantic, and
through which the St. Lawrence river
now drains off the surplus water of
those great inland fresh-water seas,
which have been formed in the old val
leys behind the vast dams that nature
