An Innovaaion in Telegraphy.

A recent invention that will eventual-
~ displace the Morse system of tele-
graphy is the Kent telegraph type-writ-
Ell. The typewriter idea of telegraphy
has been experimental on for years
but without appreciate success. The
Kent system, however has passed the
experimental point and Is now an as
sured success. Patents covering all the
salient features OF the machine have
been tn'rcn cs,t. BY this system the op-
orator -. ates the keyboard OF the
typewriter, yet having the advantages
OF visible writing and lightness Of
touch, the machines being connected by
electric current, the writing is reproduc-
ed by the receiving machine on a c0n-
tinuous roll of paper. The most Inn
portant feature or this system IL the Ina
possibility of making mistakes In re-
ceiving. The electric current giving the
operator complete control of the re-
ceiver.-Progress.

Roughly speaking, burglars practice
either as housebreakers or warehouse
burglars. In the case of the Iast, the
iron safe Is the object OF attack, and

and their use is not unaccumpanied BY

holes into the locks of safes, steel wedg-

canIsters of glnpowder for blowing out
the locks, are part Of the equipment of
the safe burglar.
Family burgling" Is a ser alate
branch OF the art. The tools are far
more delicate, and means of escape
must be provided in addition to those
of forcible entry. Neat ladders of
tarred rope for fixing TO porticos as a
ready means Of descent are IL old pre-
caution. But the wire ana string en-
tanglements. which are now Invariably

women play an important and usually
an unconscious part.
1t Is not difficult for a nice spoken
young man to get on friendly terms
with the maid servants Of a large es-
tablishement, and servants take a spe-

house. A judicious appreciation of the
taste displayed in the mistress bou-

bed room, and not seldom to voluntary
information as TO the position OF the
jewel box or safe. Nearly all the re-

several Gowns I'm ONE.

An ingenious woman contrives an
almost endless variety Of toilets from
a single foundation of q very handsome
gray cloth suit. The jacket bodice, In
tended for early spring wear, is open
to show a chemisette, and it is the
changes rung upon this that afford the
diversity.
To begin with, the jacket opens in
two ways, either a nigh double-breasted
reyers effect or laid back like a mans
coat, with a roll reaching to the waist.
For wear with the first she has numer-
Gus plastrons, which r merely soft
crepes and silk shirred on a piece OF
cambria and finished with a high, soft
collar. These are very easily made,
and as they are quickly discarded,
soiling easily, they are put together In
hasty fashion. She has them of red,
pale pink, helitrope, white, magenta
and the rest Of the list.
A hat of gray chip, with bows of
gray velvet. changes its flowers to
match the neck finish, a violet plastron
being worn with a bunch of violets i'm
the hat. One OF the yokes of black
silk is embroidered in pink rosebuds,
and the hat on that day has an &C
companying bunch Of roses.
For warmer days large, loose blouse
plastrons are provided of white silk
and dark gray, powdered with violets
and various other designs, and the jack
ct is rolled widely back. A gray para
sol is carried, and, on gay occasions,
ribbons to match the plastron and hat
| flowers are tied on the top with fail
ing ends.-New York Times.
