the moment the hands Of the backslider were

ie%weller, wh"reupon the man tremblingly
acknowledged his guilt and was forthwith

strict its colourmg properties to the hands Of
genuine thieves it would be priceless. But
if all the legal pQssessors Of g%uldens, crowns,
&c., go about the highways and b~yeways Of
life with hands dyed a dark blue it will soon
be as difficult as ever to distinguish between
honest men and thieves. But the police

EVERY THIEF HIS OWN BErRAYER.

1t is a good deal easier, writes a foreign
correspondent. to catch a bird than q thief.
and yet is by no means enough to strew q
little salt on its tail, youthful traditions to
the contrary notwithstanding. So rapid ls
the advance of civilization, however, and SO
ingenious are the applications of science to
our daily needs that q powder has already
been invented, and will soon be patented,
which possesses the marvellous virtue of catch
ing thieves. This is no mere figure OF speech
but a plain prosaic fact, which when duly
realised and appreciated. ought to OBJ
tain for its clever inventor a much higher
place among the benefactors OF humanity
than has been assigned to the German to
whom we owe the blessings of gunpowder.
The inventor of the magic thief betraying
particles. is a Hungarian by birth, Schr0dl by
name, and a manufacturer Of Limitation jew
ellery'' by profession. He would never have
dreamt, be says of devoting his time 10 the
studies which led to this remarkable result
had he not been, so to say, driven to 1t by
the thieves themselves; SO that it Is one of
the numberless cases in which necessity ls
the mother of invention. Day after day
Herr Scbrodl made tie unpleasant discovery .
that these light fingered gentry visited bis
shop, and evidently turning scornfully away
from his brilliant Limitation" %sapphires, ru-
bies, emeIalds, and diamonds, devoted them-
selves exclusively to the money till, which
they rihed. All his endeavours to discover
the identity of the unbidden guest or guests
were unavailing. Il could not continue to
exist op pure loss said Herr Schrodl $50
applied to a professor of Chemistry, DR.. Te-
lex, who gave me a powder with which
sire we'd the money in my safe every morn
ing. This powder, if you touch it, colours
your fingers blue; if you try to wash out the
stain in water it only assumes a more intense
hue, and it is wholly unamenable to the ac-
ton of soap" The very first morning after
the 'jeweller" had placed a layer + this
tell tale powder on his money he noticed the
disappearance Of eighty crowns(about4 3. $50
from the partition destined to hold silver.
Obviously the coin had been distracted by a
person we'll acquainted with the premises
most probably by one of the men. Herr
Schrodl summoned all his workmen, and or
dered them to approach a large water basin
and immerse their hands, sort of ordeal
adapted to the humane spirit in modern times.

TAXES OF FOREIGN TIoys.
The Court OF Appeals Decision bear. on
Them Hard.

Corporation Counsel Clark has received from
Albany the full text OF the decision OF the Court
OF Appeals in the case OF the city against the
Thurber- Whyland Company In regard to the
taxing OF foreign corporations The decision
sustains the city on every point and is far
more sweeping than was at first supposed 1t
simply states that foreign corporations
must be taxed on their property in this
State. and that their bills receivable are
taxable assets. 1t also says that tho
assets Of these corporations in this
state must be taxed in full. regardless
Of the liabilities. This decision means that a
great deal OF money will be added TO the city
treasury every year. the payment of which has
heretofore been avoided and that corporations
which have been organized out OF the city for
the sole purpose Of escaping taxation will have
to pay as much as those organized within the
State. There are now ,4I4 corporations do
in. business in New York. which escaped cer-
tain taxation because they were not organized
here. and the amount of capital invested by
them is nearly Sl+UOO.OOn. other cases are
pending in the courts which are similar IN
every respect TO that OF the Thurber- Why land
COMPANY, but this decision settles the entire
question.
