ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
A Merry Gangs Clumsy Work In a Pawn
Shop and the Arrest.

A novel but nervy attempt at rob-
berry was made at Albiez * Yoder's
pawnshop in Main street, just below
Park, between and 10 O'Clock Friday
night. A gang of five fellows sur
rounded the front window, in which a
number of diamonds were displayed,
and while his companions admired the
flashing display. one Of the gang who
was shielded by the others. bored an
inch hole through the lower sash of
the window. y wire with a loop at the
end was passed through the hole and
the thieves were just preparing to rake
out the dimand when Mr.. AlbieZ dis
covered what was going on. He Sc
cured a good look at all of the fellows
who were in the deal before they dis
covered that they had been seen and
ran off down street. Mr.. Albiez said
nothing about the affair until yester-
day forenoon, when he called at police
headquarters and gave a description
of the would-be thieves.
From descriptions that he gave, on
GERS Kohl and Wey concluded that
they could locate two or three of the
men, and in company with Mr.. Albiez
they visited a cabin in Aluminium

streets. The cabin was occupied by II.

promptly identified by Mr.. Albiez as
being three Of the men who attempted
10 steal his diamonds. The fellows
were all in bed when the officers ar
rived and the latter patiently waited
on the outside until they dressed.
Miller got into his clothes more rapidly
than the others, and sneaking out Of
the back door he made a run for IL and
he was fully two blocks away when
he was discovered. He made a great

Tho Factor Of Safety In Bioyclas.

The manufacture of the modern bicy-
cls presents one Of the most complex and
delicate problems known to mechanics.
TIE reason is that what scientists term the
''factor of safety is lower in the bicycle
than in almost any other mechanical prod.
uct. In high pressure guns, for instance,
the factor of safety is even as great as 20
THAT is, guns are made 90 times as strong
as is theoretically necessary for the strain
they are to bear. In ordinary guns the fac
tor of safety Is 10, in boilers it is about 6,
in bridges usually 5 and in almost every
other form of machine it is at least 4.
Such wide margins of extra strength are
deemed as an offset to errors in theoretical
computations or defect in material con-
structlon. With the modern light con-
structlon in bicycles it is reduced to
very small margin, being as low in in
stances as 1913. Such being the case, it
can be understood readily why the makers
OF standard high grade machines main
tain rigid system OF inspection. In fact,
every well appointed bicycle factory has
thoroughly equipped testing department,
In order that there may be no misoaloula-
tons or guesswork in the material enter
