Reading Emerson

The second book bought was Emer-
son. and l used always to take credit to
myself that l had discovered Emerson.
My fellow students wouldn't read him.
They always read Carlyle. But couldn t
read Carlyle then. Is l did read
Carlyle 1 felt as if had been whipped, ,
while. after l read Emerson, 1 felt that
] had been stroked down. / think man
should read the books that help him, it
doesn't matter what reputation they
have got l think man should discard
the books that bore him. l think what
Emerson does for you is to teach you to
see With the mind. Emerson never proves
anything. He never works out logic
lie just look at truth and says what he
sees, and you see what he says is right
Emerson was one of the purest and most
unworldly of men who ever lived. He
lived the ripe scholar all the time He
never came down and mingled with the
world and took off his gown. And there
is scholarly purity and unworldliness
about his work. He teaches, for instance.
the great truth that man ought to reiy
upon himself; that God has given him a
certain number of talents, and that it is
his equipment to go through life on. He
mas 10 stand upon his own instincts, and
TO be perfectly contented to be what God
has made him to be, and not anxious To
be anybody else.-Professor Drummond

/ as did those of the Bank of the Metrop-
| oils
The men who handle millions of dol
lars day in the treasury building
laughed at the tunnel idea. One of
them, whose fingers are worn with
corns with the friction Of hundred dol
| lar bills, said:
''As far as this building is concerned,
l do not see what good a tunnel would
do 1t would take any combination of
thleVeS six months to run tunnel un-
der this building, even if they We're al
lowed to proceed without interruption
Then when they had arrived under
the vault what would they do about
1t? The best thing they could do would
pe TO go right out of the tunnel and
abandon the job. They would run their
noses against a thickness of steel and
concrete that would render their visit
practically useless. Certainly an ex-
! pioslon would be necessary, and an ex-
plosion would bring almost inevitable
discovery"
Chief OBrien of the detective bureau
was the only man the reporter could
lind who regarded the tunnel scheme MS
a possibility. why not" said he.
tunnels have been run into banks be-
lore now, though l cannot call to mind
successful one, unless it was that of
the Ocean bank. The discovery of tur-
mel thieves would naturally rest chiefly
win the bank watchman, though
stranSe to say, the principal attempt of
that kind in this city was discovered by
a police officer.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Dr. Leander Starr
Jameson, c. b., the young filibuster who
tried to steal the riches Of the Transvaal
for England, has begun his fifteen
months sentence in Wormwood Scrubbs
prison. But his life in that habitation
of crime and vice will be altogether
unlike that which his fellow convicts
lead.
Briefly stated, Jameson's imprison-
ment is a giganic bluff. But for the
howl of Indignation which has swept
over the world after his disgraceful raid
upon the peaceful Beers Jameson would
probably now be in Africa compounding
new schemes for bringing the Transvaal
under British domination. Something
had to be done. however, so he was

ior IL seems to serve no useful purpose,
except to keep prisoners employed
When there isn't anything else for them
to do
Each tread wheel or mill is so con-
structed that if necessary twenty-four
men can be employed upon it at a time
Inc mill is divided into twenty-four lit
Tie compartments or stalls. Each COM
partment is something less than twenty
Iour inches in width, and is separated
from the adjoining one by high wooden
partitions The mill is connected with
ian, which is so arranged as to give
enough resistance to the mill to make
the words, hard labor" mean what they
say. There are twenty-four steps in the
wheel, which are eight inches apart.
This makes the circumference of the
wheel sixteen feet. The wheel performs
thirty revolutions in each quarter of an
hour, and each man walks on an average
Hfteen quarters of an hour day. So he
ascends something like 1900 feet. or
2400 yards, for a days labor.
Crank labor consists of making 10000
revolutions of crank, which is placed
on narrow iron drum put on legs. with
long handle on one side, which, when
turned, causes q series of caps or scoops
in the interior to revolve. At the lower
part VI the drum is quantity of sand
whlch the cups scoop up and carry to
the top of the wheel, where they emptv
themselves. A dial plate registers the
number of revolutions made A convict

OPINIONS OF FINANCIERS

1t has been many years since the en-
terprising cracksman Of the tunneling
variety attempted to operate against
the banks. This is true, not because
the bank vaults are more strongly built,
but that the police supervision is more
perfect
The old style of bank cracksman
seems to have died with Red" Leary
and with the Imprisonment of old Jim
my Hope. Those OF the old school who
are still on the drilling and dynamiting
lay seem to have gone west.
The recent attempt made at Los An
geles to carry off $500, 900 worth of gold
and silver currency from the First Ma
tional bank by this old-time mode Of
procedure led the New York Herald to
make Inquiries as to the possibilities Of
success any such operation would meet
with in New York at the present day.
According to many bank officials with
whom the reporter talked such a rob-
berry would be practically impossible.
"Tunneling Is rather primitive form
of burglary, and do not take any stock
in it." said Secretary Chase Of the Union
Dime Savings bank. Just look at that
vault Does it appear to be an easy thing
to get into? You see, nowadays most of
the banks are upon the first floor, and
as they generally own the building they
occupy, they are very particular as to
the character of their tenants.
"Our vaults run right down to the first
floor, but we let the basement to daily
newspaper, and yeu know that newspa-
Lii - httt. Ia n
I do not think that successful crime of
that kind could be committed in this
city"
I'he officers of the Chemical and the
Shoe and Leather banks pooh-poohed
the idea of q successful tunnel scheme,
The herald., 1896-08-23

set a steam engine at work in the base
ment, ostensibly for use in the res
taurant, but really to use for drilling
purpose.
''One night in June, however, Police
man Keller, who was on that beat hap
pened to stop close by the bank win
dows. 1t was about 3 o'clock in the
morning and the streets were very quiet
All at once the policeman heard a muf-
fled and continuous humming sound
coming from the bank. He listened
from various points. He went around to
the oyster saloon but saw nobody but a
sleepy cashier and heard nothing but
the putting of the little oyster engine in
the basement. Then he went back and
listened again to the low humming in
the bank
A large wardrobe with side and front
doors was made to order and moved
into the rear basement office under fhe
bank, which had been rented by the
burglars for the occasion. In this was
stored the great quantity of burglars
tools required.
BY surveys made above in the presi-
dents room they We're able to locate the
hole which had already been made
through to the basement. 1t was To-
Gated right were the presidents desk

the burglary, because the colored jani-

that night.
Shnburn, White and Sharkey did the
inside work. The plunder was placed in
black trunk, taken from the vault and
carried in a market car, covered with
green vegetables, to wholesale LIQUOR
store on Fulton street, on the west side
Of broadway.
When the bank people appeared on
the morning of June 9th they were con-
fronted with strange sight. The floor
was Uttered with tin boxes coin and
currency. There was a hole in the floor
of the presidents room. The outer door
of the vault was flung to but not shut.
Bags of coin were still burning. ~ here
was a smell of powder The litter and
coin on the floor were water soaked.
In the basement were half-eaten
sandwiches, a package of United States
bonds, lot of silverware, several hum
dred dollars in notes, dark lantern and
some old clothes. Altogether $76S S79.74
| had been taken. The bank struggled
| along for eighteen months after the rob-
| berry and then failed.

! could be carried out without inside col
| fusion. At least the reporter could not
