UP-TO.DATE BURGLAR.

The modern burglar is adopting mod

a recent burglary in France illustrates
this fact, says the New York Journal.
A gang of ingenious craeksmen en-
tered a bankers Office armed with
steel SAW of the newest construction
and n handy little gas engine. There
was no need for the exercise of muscle,
nor was there any necessity for good
strong wrist at the saw as there was
at one time in the annals of famous rob
berries.
The little engine was started, the
saw put in the proper place, and the
connections made. Seating themselves
serenely upon a couple of chairs near at
hand, these modern burglars watched
the true and rapid work of their nppli-
ances.
The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force of human hands, but
the saw. impelled by the engine, il
could not stand against. 1t promptly

THE ARK-BORN MAN.

which of NOah's Descendants First Saw
the Light in the Ark?
Hundreds of ancient cleaners of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give us to understand that
Cush was born on the ark, says the ST
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was a child born on the sacred
vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one
of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that
no person should leave the ark who
had not gone on board in the regulation
manner. The weight of the evidence
as it is given by the Talmudic writer's
is to the effect that Cush is the person
referred to by the old-time mystery
cleaners when they speak of the lark
born" man. The sacred books, as well
as the scores of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, etc., are
silent on the subject. In reprint of
one of the rare old Saxon Chronicles"
is found a clew to the mystery, and an
other slight hint in an explanatory note
in Herbert's 'Nimrod." In the Saxon
Chronicles" the following occurs:
"Bedwig was the son or Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herbert's note in
"Nimrod," colume ii, page 81, says
"Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark, his posterity were, in
u peculiar sense, descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no di-
rect references to the fact of Cush be-
ing actually born in the ark, he speaks
of him in several places as "Cush the
arl-born." The Talmudic writer's dis
credit the Bedwig story, but declare
that Cush was born on the day that

THE ANTS TALKED.
How a Naturalist Proved They Conversed
with Each Other.

with Each other.
1t is becoming the general belief
among naturalists that all living cres-
lures have some communication with
each other, at least to the extent OF
making their wants, fears, etc., known
to others of their species. A writer on
ants recently investigated the matter
as far as those interesting little insects
are concerned. He saw a drove of
ants of a small black variety, which
were apparently moving to new quar-
ters, those going in certain direction
all carrying eggs or sick and helpless
relatives, while those moving in the
opposite direction appeared to have
just deposited their burdens and to be
returning for another load of "house-
hold Effects
They were probably pretty well
along with their work, judging by
the leisurely way in which they
would frequently put their heads
together, as though chatting about
their new quarters, or some other
interesting subject 1t being Il
question in the naturalist's mind
whether they were really talking or
not, he hit on the expedient of murder
ing one of their number to see if the
others would run and tell what had
happened. He says: "The eyewitness
es of the murder FASTENED away and
laid their heads together with every ant
they met, whereupon all would turn
and scamper away. No more

PREVENTIVE AGAINST COLDS.

Germans Novel Method of Keeping the
Feet Warm I'm Cold Weather.
Warm feet during wet weather are
the best preventive against so-calied
"colds" and their often dangerous con-
sequences. Rubber shoes and cork soles
have been pretty generally used to avoid
getting cold and wet feet, but new and
very curious means to warm the feet
has recently been patented by Paul
Wonneberger, of Gruna, near Dresden,
says the Philadelphia Record. He calls
his invention "heatable Shoes Within
the heel of the shoe, which is followed
out, there is a receptacle for glowing
substance, similar o that used in the
japanese hand-warmers. Between the
soles, ilnbedded in as estos covers, there
is rubber bag, which is filled with wa
ter. The water is heated above the
heel. and as it circulates while the
wearer of the shoe is walking it keeps
the entire neither surface of the foot
warm. A small safety valve is provided.
and the bag cannot burst. The warmth
given by this sole never rises above
70 degrees Fahrenheit, and viii last for
about eight hours. The shoes are little
heavier than ordinary ones, and the
sole is but slightly thicker than that of
the so-called wet weather boot.

ITS FATE is DUBIOUS
STATUS OF THE POsTOFFICE BILL
IN LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS-.


Indianapolis patriots, interested In securing
an appropriation from Congress for new
federal building, have not laid down their
arms, although they fear the city IS again
the victim of a Irritation Senator Turpie
has ucceeded in getting passed in the Sem
ate his appropriation bill. and through the
efforts of Congressman Henry and Over
street the committee in the lower house
IS favorable to it. But alas and alack! there
is great cry being sounded for economy,
and grave obstacles endanger the apropria-
ton bill in the House. The indianapolis
committee. composed of men from the Com
mercial Club, the Board Of Trade and from
the professions, is prepared to go to Wash
ington on the first notice that they are need
ed, for IL the appropriation bill can obtain
a hearing In the House, the committee will
march on to Washington to make a last de-
ternfned stand. Lee Nixen, ex-city clerk
and present secretary to Congressman Over
street, describes the situations there in the
following words:
.scongressmen Henry and Overstreet have
been working untiringly to get the appropri-
alton bill passed. believe the House COM
mittee will give a favorable report on the
Turpie bill, but that will not insure a
passage. If the bill Is placed on the calen-
dar It will not be considered this term. for
it cannat be reached. The only hope is to
have It made a special order Of business,
and IL there Is the slightest objection to such
course the Indiana congressman are pow
erless."
..Mr. Henry and Mr.. Overstreet are do
ing what they TO have the bill made
q special order OF business. IL they succeed
the bill may pass. but the present indications
are not fiattering to success Every other
city in the country is asking an appropria-
ton for something. An effort Is being made
to hold down the appropriations. 1t must
be remembered that an election is coming
on. and that the policy Is strictly economical
There Is horror expressed at anything TO
suggest 1iberality, and congressman who
expect to be returned do not want another
expensive Congress, such as the billion
dollar one The bill will receive a favorable
report, and hope be passed, but 1 am
afraid it canno. be- II 1t fails TO pass the
people OF indianapolis may rest assured that
congressman Henry and Overstreet have
done everything within their power to secure
the desired ends The other Indiana Con-
gressmen are with them in the fight, but
OF course their efforts ara not quite so great
Is those Of Messrs. Henry and Overstreet."

TURPIEys CHEAP APPEAL.
He Knows that Speaker Reed Ii Hold
ing Up Appropriation Bills.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March sl--The Senate
bill appropriating 100000 for a new public
building at Indianapolis was received in the
House to-day. Candor conpels the state
ment that it is not wise TO look for the
passage of the bill at the present session
of the House. Indeed. the statement OF
Representative Milliken, of Maine, chair
man of the public buildings and grounds
committee, at session OF the committee
to-day. that Il was not he who was holding
back public building bills. but Speaker Reed
himself, verifies The accuracy OF his state
ment. There have been some idle state
ments sent out from Washington regarding
order forbidding any bills carrying money
except the appropriation bills. The action
Of The House last Friday. when the appro-
feated. has been cited as proof that Mr..
Reeds authority had been successfully re-
sented. All this is rubbish. Mr.. Hanleys
naval Affairs committee in his fight for six
battle ships instead of four was interpreted
In these DISPATCHES as indicating that the
"mutiny'' against Mr.. Reed, in favor OF a
liberal policy for public buildings. had been
crushed.
The attitude of the House yesterday and
to-day towards the sundry civil bill indi-
Gates that this view is entirely correct The
Speaker Is again in absolute control OF the
House The sundry civil bill will pass the
sibly even tomorrow. Senator Turpie Is
spreading the report tonight that ne be-
lleves his bill can pass the House IL Mr.
Henry and Mr.. Overstreet make the proper
efforts Senator Turpie knows the
dlsingenuousness OF this assertion. He
knows perfectly well that Mr. Reed
has ordered that no public building
bills shall pass AT this session His state
ment. therefore. is simply cheap appeal
Tor comparison between his efforts in the
senate and the work OF Messrs. Henry and
Oyerstreet in the House.
