A TERROR TO BURGLARS.
1t Is an Alarm That Notifies Everybody
When Thief Tries to Operate.

The latest plan to brighten away the
thief who would break in and steal is to
put up sign to the effect that if he tries
it an alarm will be sounded.
A Chicago jeweler has fitted up his
store with electric wires connected to II
burglar alarm, and then give notice to all
whom 1T may concern, on IL sign outside
"'Burglar Alarm; this Bell Will Ring in
Case of Robbery
The idea seems to have struck the fancy
of the shOpkeepers, and there have been
innumerable inquiries, first, whether such
method of wholesale protection is prac-
ticable, ard, secondly, what is the best
way of installing it.
In the case mentioned, IL battery Of six
cells connected with sixteen contacts in
various parts of the store is used. The
wires from these contacts pass to a ten
inch bell, which is placed outside the cor
ner OF the store and protected by II pro-
jectiug cave. Push buttons are placed
about the show cases and shelving and in
the flooring. They are arranged with n
tongue contact, which is caught and held
in place after the circuit is made, even
after the pressure is removed, so that n
slight touch will cause the big bell out
side to ring continuously until the cir
cult is deliberately broken.
The idea is that clerk can hardly be
surprised SO completely by robbers that
he cannot, with hand or foot, touch some
button, with the result of arousing the
whole neighborhood, as the CHATTER of he
gong can be heard for Il distance of three
blocks. At night the street doors and
the safe doors are also connected with
the bell in such a manner that IL person
unacquainted with the attachments will
sound an alarm III forcing an entrance

ELECTRICITY FACTS.

Recent Figures That Show the Enormous
Proportions of,an ''Infant Industry ~ ?,
The editor OF periodical devoted To
the news of electrical development fire.
quently heard during the recent Electri-
cal Exposition some wiscacre remark to
the ladies' in his escort: "All very won
derful, but still we must remember that
electricity is still in it's infancy" The
editor, therefore, at the close of the expo
stition, sent letters to number of gen
tlemen who have spent lifetime in the
pursuit of electrical science, with the re-
suit that he has gathered some statistics
that show that electricity is anything but
III infant industry
1t appears that there are not less than
65, 0OO,O 0O telegraph messages sent in the
United States every year. The number
of telephone conversations is $50, 000 900.
There are 2,700 central electric light sta
tions and 1000 isolated electric light
plants in buildings Of all kinds These
operate about 900, 600 arc lights and 10,
600, 900 incandescents, as we'll as several
hundred thousand electric ..moters. The
electric railways of this country reach
1000, with 10000 miles Of track and 25,-
600 cars. 1t is estimated that directly
and indirectly some 100000 persons
are interested in electricity as their live
1ihood and sustenance.

NIcKNAMEs FOR MONEY.
All the Small Pieces Bear Odd Design

AL the Small Pieces Bear Odd Designa-
lions, and Some of Them Wrongly So.
Few people realize that every piece of
money has nickname. 1t has, however,
and some of the names are very odd
The SlO0 note has but one nickname,
put 1t Is exceedingly appropriate as we'll
as dignified. 1t needs no more, for there
are thousands of persons in this country
who have never seen note of this de-
nomination.
Everybody has seen small change,
though, and the commonness of this spe-
cies of money has suggested scores of
sobriquets, appropriate and the reverse,
grave and gay, effusively funny and
humorously pathetic. The "nickle" as
a.name was suggested by the common
idea that this metal entered largely into
the composition of the coin. 1t is a mis-
homer, us the piece consists of do per
cent. of copper and only 25 per cent. of
the metal which gave it name
"Car-fares," slang name for the
same piece, illustrates the universally
of this method of transportation, while
"chicken feed rs q name net only for
five-cent pieces, but also for other small
change, undoubtedly came from the rural
districts. "Flipperup'' suggests fire.
quent use to which the nickle is placed
in certain circles
pennies" and "picayunes' indicate
the contempt, more pretended than real,
into which our smallest coins have fall.
en-. The latter name like "bit," pre-
serves IL morsel of history not familiar
to general readers. "Picayune," now
used as synonym for the smallest
value expressed in money terms, was
once the name of special coin. 1t was
worth about one half cent, and ut one
time, during our colonial days, when all
sorts of coins passed current at all sorts
of valuations, circulated along the At
lantic coast.
The "bt," now only money of ac-
count and most familiar in the we'll
known form 1.-TWO bits n synonym for
the 25,cen piece, was also at one time a
coin equal in value to one-half the
Spanish pistareen, and worth little
more than 10 cents. When the English
shilling and Spanish pistarecn were sup.
planted by our familiar quarter" the
names remained long after the coins had
disappeared. Shilling" has now final
ly disappeared from us, save along the
Canadian border, where prices are fire.
Quently made in both kinds of money,
but the "bit" we have still with us.
