A Daylight Burglary.

Joseph Hensell. the 11-year old son
of Peter Hensell, of this place, re-
turned about weeks ago from a
short visit to the House of Refuge.
leaving Il profitable course of educa-
ton IN a sad state of incompletion.
Joe had been long enough at home to
become re-accimated when symptoms
of kleptomania began to show re-
lapse into the immoral propensity
whose indulgence first led him to make
his first involuntary visit from home
People here and there missed divers
articles of mechanical and vegetable
Jric a brac and other useful and con-
sumable memorabilia of "the life that
now is," and all, with united and con-
current suggestiveness, seemed to
connect these losses with the return
of one of the towns prodigal sons.
But last Sunday ternoon, in broad
daylight. Joe laid the last straw on the
patient camel's back of popular toler-
ance of his escapades. He got behind
large bulletin sign standing in front
of the carpet department of Marx
Wineland's stOrehouse and pushed in
wooden window pane, entered and
selected some goods that boy would
naturally fancy and some that Joe,
especially, would have no use for.
These consisted of baseballs and mem
orandum books, amounting in value
to about $3.50. He then easily passed
into John Wiegand's grocery, where
there was better picking-for boy.
Here about about Sc worth of cigars,
tobaccos and wooden pipes, were found
missing.
Later Joe's inventory of goods, as
exhibited to some other boys, caused
the investigation which led to Joe's
depot of supplies.
Monday he was taken before Justice
l.. j. Parker, evidence taken, and the
justice asked
"Where were you, Joe, when away
from home p
"House of Refuge"
did they treat you well down
there ?"
"No, sir"
"How did they mistreat you ?"
'"They made me go to school"
did they feed and clothe you well ~
so, yes, sir"
"They only treated you badly in the
matter of making you go to school 2"
"1es, sir-that's all"
"Well, Joe. you will have to under.
go that bad treatment again. | will
commit you to the House of Refuge
until you are 81 years of age. do
not, however, impose this upon you as
punishment so much as to remove
you from temptation to place where
moral and educational restraints will.
l hope, combine to make you better
and more useful man than YOU are a
boy"
Joe did not relish his commitment
at all. 1t means quite 10 years of con-
fnement.
He was taken to Cumberland Tues
day, where he will remain in Jail about
10 days, subject to any proceedings
that may issue from the higher court.

Averted at Head of Baltimore Street
Yesterday MOrning.-As the Cincinnati
express was coming in FROM the west yester-
day morning there were two locomotives
standing on the main track, at the Baltimore
street crossing, which were hid by the out
going train to Pittsburg. The engineer did
not see them until his train was almost on
the engines but for his presence of mind in
reversing and putting on the air brakes, and
the starting of the engine ahead there would
have been terrible catastrophe. When the
Cincinnati express stopped it was just "a feet
from the engines in front.
The most peculiar point of the whole in
cident was that the "a feet was the exact
width of the lots which the Progressive Lot

Ice Action on the Earth.

Those who refuse to yield to the
theory that the earth has been subject
to the shifting Of her polar points have
always dealt in masterful ambiguity and
most wonderful indefniteness when
they discuss what they term the glacial
period. The vast Arctic bonevards
and the facts of preserved animal car
cases III polar ice are perplexing
problems to those who contend that the
poles always were where they are now
and that life was first developed on the
cooled portion Of the globe. But if
polar frigldity crept on gradually as the
cooling progressed, why did not the
fauna retire or retreat gradually, and
what was it that so suddenly over
whelmed all life and SO suddenly en-
tombed the semi-tropical carcass in
millenniums of, continuous Arctic cold :?
How shall coal measures, the laying Of
rock strata or the forming of limestone
beds be accounted for save on the
theory that there have been advances
and recessions of the sea? The evil
dencc is plain that the earth has rocked,
reeled and rolled, that dry land and sea
have changed and interchanged, that
there has been alternate emergence
and submergence, that great physical
changes have come with suddenness,
and that myriads of life forms found
death in the radical change Of con-
ditions that swept them to dissolution in
one fell stroke

Electric Car Heaters.

Electrical heaters are made of wire
Or other electrical conductors placed in
and around non-combustible material,
and heat is generated by raising the
temperature Of the wire by current
taken from the power station Of the
road. The amount Of heat generated
in these heaters is proportional to the
amount of current used. The heaters,
usually four in number, are placed
under the seats Of the car in such a
manner as to have passengers
clothes protected from contact
with them. 1t is necessary to
provide them with some form
of regulating switch, and the cost per
car varies from S35 to $45 installed. In
order to keep the temperature of car,
say at 30 degrees Fahrenheit in mod
erately cold weather, an expenditure of
from 5.33 to 6.66 horsepower per day
Of eighteen hours will be required. Es-
timating the power to cost 90 cents per
kilowatt hour, the cost of heating car
per day will be about as follows: In
moderately cold weather, using 2.66
horsepower. or IS kilowatt hours, 81. 4
cents; using 5.33 horsepower, or y
kilowatt hours, 64.S cents; using 6.66
horse power, or 90 kilowatt hours, 81
cents. TO this cost must be added de-
precautions and repairs, and this can be
taken at 20 per cent Casters Magazine.
