Nitro-GIycerine VIII Conquer Nearly Any
Safe in Short Order.
In opening a modern bank safe the
burglar putties up the entire joint or
crack. except for about an inch at the
top and bottom. a well of putty is
then formed about the top crack,
where it is uncovered, and two and a
half or three ounces of nitro-glycerine
poured into it If the safe is not pro-
tected by felt or rubber, ii will require
but three or four minutes for the glyx
rering to distribute itself over the en-
tire joint of the door and drip out at
the lower crack. An ordinary detonat-
Ing cap, such as is used in exploding
dynamite. lis inserted in the upper
well and the fuse lit When the explo-
sion occurs the door comes off When
the operation takes place in the vault
there is rarely any noise more than
Fifty feet away.
The burglar does not carry nitro
Tlycerine with him. He goes to hard
ware store and buys few pounds of
dynamite, which he breaks up in con-
venient vessel, as a wash basin, covers
with alcohol and allows it to stand
until the glyceriue has all combined
with it The alcohol and glycerine are
then poured off, and an equal amount
OF water is added: the water and the
alcohol combine, and the nitro-glycerine
sinks to the bottom, where it is ready
for use.

No slaves to Fashion.

The spirit of independence is ever,
day becoming more and more noticea
BILE characteristic of American womer
in regard to dress as well as in many
other regards. Opposition and ridicule
seem rather to stimulate than damper
the ardor of women who. in the matte,
of gowning, dare to be free and are in
fiexibly bent on being so. Every
woman of good sense and cultivated
taste may be safely left to Judge fol
herself what is betting, and those &c
whom these tributes may not be vouch
safed will. in spite of criticism, follow
their own viii, whim or inclination
