CAN OPEN ANY SAFE.
An Expert Says He Can Do IL In Thfee
Hours with q Satchel OUTFIT.


ona Of tho most expert .'safe blowers"
in this country, or any other, for that mat
ter. is William G. Clark, now resident OF
Chicago Some foolish frlends OF DIE
Clark have been claiming that he Is the
only man who knows anything ABOUT
blowing open a safe, statement which
Mr.. Clark himself promptly refuted In
conversation with reporter
.How did you gain your experience IN
opening safes?" was asked
"Legitimately, answered Mr.. Clark,
smiling. when boy learned the ma
chinist trade in the Providence locomotive
works. When about II years old L entered
the service of my present employer. For
three wears was with Professor Charles
T.. Munroe of Columbian university, Wash
ington. He was the expert on explosives
selected bv the commission appointed by
act of CONGRESS in 1890 to determine by &C
final tests of safes of various manufactures
what would be best for the proposed gov
eminent safes and vaults. These expert
ments lasting three years, were conducted
at Newport, R. 1. Lieutenant Rodman
was appointed by the government to assist
Professor Munroe and l assisted in every
test that was made.
How do you proceed to force open a
safer"
III the idea is to do it quickly, usually
bore a four inch hole in the safe-that is,
a hole four inches in diameter Then a
little nitroglycerin does the rest
Glow can you drill such a hole in a
hardened steel safe?"
with a compound blowpipe in - min
utes l can heat redhot spot six inches In
diameter. This draws the temper of the
steel and leaves it as soft and easy to cut
as iron. Then with 'cathcad drill we
cut groove an eighth Of an inch wide
around spot four or even six inches In
diamater. I once cut u four inch hole
through steel vault door 80 inches thick
in the Mercantile National bank of New
York in l hour and IS minutes
"What tools do you usef"
"In addition to the blowpipe and drill l
have small pocket battery, coil of in
sulated wire with decorators, few wedges,
hammer and half pint flask of nitro
glycerin mixed with alcohol. carry the
entire outfit in u small satchel"
"Do you always use nitroglycerin?"
eyes, it is the best explosive for many
reasons. Put in a bottle with some alcohol
1t cannot possibly be exploded, yet In five
minutes time it can be made ready for
use. All that is necessary is to pour water
in the bottle. The alcohol unites with it
and the nitroglycerin settles to the bottom.
1t doesn't make any report to speak of; it
can be introduced where nothing else could
and it always does the work"
"How much is required?"
''From two or three drops to half al
ounce for each explosion, depending en-
tirely upon circumstances. Burglars al
ways use too much. The most nitroglyc-
erin | ever used on q safe, and I've opened
hundreds Of Them was four and eight
tenths ounces. l have opened every known
make of safe, except one, and will wager
any reasonable amount that there is no
safe made that l cannot open within three
hours without injury to the contents. "

An interesting discussion has for some
time been going on as to whether repeated
vibrations of iron and steel change the
molecular structure and produce rupture
of those metals. Some of the most expert.
enced metallurgists are of the opinion that
a fracture caused by repeated strains is the
result of u change in the structure, and
particularly that 1brous wrought iron is
transformed into granular under continu-
Gus shocks, while Others regard such an
opinion as entirely erroneous. Numerous
experiments instituted by so practical an
operator as Badchingcr of Munich, In
which bars of iron and steel were submit.
ted to repeated shocks, lead him to the con
clllsion that strains of iron and steel re.
peated frequently, millions of times, bring
about no change of structure. Reference
is also made to certain experiments by
which bar of wrought iron was made to
show in two fractures only few inches
apart two distinct sources of fracture, the
one sharply crystalline, the other fibrous, de
pendent simply upon whether the breaking
force was Il sharp blow or "a slowly applied
load. Another authority points out that
crystalline appearance on the fracture is
caused by tho manner of breaking-that
is, transversely broken fbers show granu-
lar crystalline faces; but, when pulled
apart longitudinally, the same iron will
show II fibrOus structure. Again the iron
in bar may bo crystalline at one point
and fibrOus at another "

BOONE, THE HUNTER.
He Always Carried His Rife and Killed
Much Big Game.

Tho next few years were passed by
Boone amid unending Indian conflicts.
He was q leader among the settlers, both
in peace and in war. At one time he rep
resented them in the house of burgcsses Of
Virginia, at another time he was a mem
Der of the first little Kentucky parliament
itself, and he became a colonel of the from
tier militia. He titled the land, and he
chopped the trees himself. He helped build
the cabins and stockades with his own
hands, welding the long handled, light
headed frontier AK as skillfully rs other
fronticrsmen did.
His main business was that of surveyor,
for his knowledge of the country and his
ability to travel through it in spite of the
danger from Indians created much demand
for his services among people who wished
to lay off tracts of wild land for their own
future use But whatever he did, and
wherever he went, he had to be sleeplessly
on the watch for his Indian foes. When
he and his fellows titled the stump dotted
fields of corn, one or more of the party
were always on guard, with rifle at the
ready, for fear of lurking savages. Whom
he went to the house of burgesses, he car
ried his long rifle and traversed roads not
mile of which was free from the danger
of Indian attacks.
Tho settlements in the early years de-
pended exclusively upon game for their
meat, and Boone was the mightiest of all
the hunters, so that upon him deyolvcd
the task of keeping his people supplied.
He killed many buffaloes and picked the
buffalo beef for use in winter. He killed
great numbers of black bears and made
bacon of them, precisely as If they had
been hogs. The common game were deer
and elk. At that time no Kentucky hun
ter would waste shot on anything so
small as prairie chicken or wild duck,
but they sometimes killed geese and swans
when they came south in winter and lit
on the rivers.-Theodore Roosevelt in ST.
Nicholas.

that thousands of patients have been starv-

profession, that beef extracts, tea, bouillon.
