CAN OPEN ANY SAFE.
An Expert Says He Can Do Il Ia
Three Hours With SatchsI Outfit.

IOro0 OOur8 WIKI y SatCUSs Sutssts
One of the most expert "safe blow,
ers" in this country, or in any other
for that matter, is William c. Clark.
now resident of Chicago. Some
foolish friends of Mr.. Clark have
been claiming that he is the only
man who. knows anything about
blowing open safe, a statement
which Mr.. Clark promptly refuted
yesterday in conversation with ~.
porter.
How did you gain your expef*
ence in opening safes?" was asked.
''Legitimately," answered Mr.:
Clark, smiling. when boy .
learned the machinist trade in tbs
Providence, r. l., locomotive works.
When about twenty-one years old |
entered the services Of my present
employer. For three years was as
ISOLATED with Prof. Charles e. Mon.
roe, OF Columbia University, Wash
ington. ID. G. He was the expert on
explosives selected by the Commits
sion appointed by act Of Congress in
1890 to determine by actual tests OF
various manufactures what would be
best for the proposed Government
safes and vaults. These experiments.
lasting three years, were conducted
at Newport, X. /. Lieut.. Rodman
was appointed by the Government to
assist Prof. Monroe, and / assisted
in every test that was made"
"How do you proceed to force open
q safer"
IF the idea is to do it quickly I
usually bore u four-inch hole in the
safe-that is, hole four inches in
diameter. Then little nitro-glycer-
inc does the rest"
"How can you drill such hole in
hardened steel safer"
with compound blowpipe in
twelve minutes i can heat red hot o
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 q 'cat-head' drill we
cut groove an eighth of an inch wide
around q spot four or even six inches
in diameter. once cut four-inch
hole through steel vault door three
and half inches thick in the Mercan-
tile National Bank of New York, in
an hour and fifty-eight minutes"
what tools do you user"
'In addition to the blowpipe and
drill have a small pocket battery, g
coil ofinsulated wire with deton ators,
few wedges, hammer and q half
pint flask Of nitro glycerine mixed
with alcohol. / carry the entire out
fit in q small satchel."
do you always use nitro-glycer-
ine?"
Eyes, it is the best explosive for
many reasons. Put in a bottle with
some elcohol it cannot possibly be
exploded, yet in five minutes time it
can be made ready for use. ALI that
is necessary is to pour water In the
bottle. The alcohol unites with 1t
and the nitro-glycerine settles to the
bottom. 1t doesn't make any report
to speak Of; 1t can be introduced
where nothing else could, and 1t al
ways does the work"
How much Is required?"
From two or three drops TO- half
an ounce for each explosion, depend
ing entirely upon circumstances.
Burglars always use too much. The
most nitro-glycerine ever used on a
safe, and I've opened hundreds OF
them, was four and eight-tenths
ounces. ] have opened every known
make OF safe, except one, and will
wager any reasonable amount that
there Is no safe made that cannot
open within three hours. without i'm
jury to the contents"

clan, calculates that in 1870 the
wealth OF the United States was $48,-
642, 600, 900, or an average OF $3.50 to
each inhabitant; that it was about
500, 600, 600, 900 in 1890, or 81. 900 to
each inhabitant, and that at both
dates it was greater than the wealth
of any other nation. Mr.. Gannett
finds that 5 per cent. of the total
wealth of the country is owned by
millionaires, 81 per cent. by people
worth from 800. 600 to 81, 900, 900
each, rs per cent. by those worth
from $lO, 600 to 800, 600, 81 per cent,
the largest percentage, by those
worth from 81, 600 to $40, 600 each,
and 6 per cent. by those owning less
than 81, 600 each.

M. Lincoln had several reasons for not
admiring exPresident Tyler, and a men
tion of him ON one occasion brought out
an anecdote. "A year or two after Tyler's
accession to the presidency, said Mr.
Lincoln, contemplating an excursion in
some direction, his son went to order q
special train of cars. 1t SO happened that
the railroad superintendent was very
strong Whig. On Bob's making known
his errand that official promptly informed
him that his road did not run special
trains for tho president. 'WhatY said
Bob. Did you not furnish special train

Yes, said tho superintendent stroking
