The sultan's heir is not his eldestU som

succeeds. Such is the law of Islam, and
the fruitful source of dynasty murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became power, says the London Echo.
The sultan has four brothers; not one,
only, as was lately alleged. This eldest
brother is Rechad Effendi: that Is to
say, he is the eldest after ex-Sultan
Murad ", who, being insane, is not
counted. The third brother is Waredin,
and the fourth SULLIVAN. The sultan's
eldest son, Prince Selim, has no earthly
chance of succeeding his father. He
has too many uncles and uncles' sons
for that. But Prince Selim is lucky, if
he knows il, for he is not dangerous"
He lives IA life of freedom, whereas the
heir is, by the custom of the Ottomans,
a kind of life prisoner

ELECTRIC PROTECTIONOF SAFES
Lining So Arranged That the slight
est Break VIII Raise Alarm

The latest idea for the protection Of
money and valuables is 10 have the safe
which contains them secured inside a
cabinet, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. Where a safe is kept in vault,
the vault serves the purposes of a cabi-
net. In either case an electric lining
is used, consisting of strips of metal
mounted in connection with thin metal
sheets, so arranged that even a pin
thrust through the cabinet and pene-
trating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened.
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised. until time-lock has dsconnect-
ed it from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation il is made of steel and
placed within hood lined i'm the same
way as the cabinet. ANY attempt AT
tampering with it will cause an alarm
TO be sounded as i'm the case of the cab
met. The door is held closed by heavy
lag bolts, the partial removal of any OF
which will give warning signal. There
are several of these lag bolts. and be-
fore the door can be opened they have
oil 10 be removed. which requires p
considerable length of time.

WOOD MOSAIC OF SAWDUST.
Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material

ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of new process OF
floor mosaic. says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood. as
sawdust, wood -four and fine shavings,
are treated first with mixture OF shell
lac and alcohol, and then with a cement
made of curd and Stacked lime While
this mixture is still damp, it is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size.
and placed under pressure The iuint
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After few
minutes the compound is tahcn out 81
the molds when it is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
of an oily nature, be present. rs it would
prevent the cement from being all
sorbed into the pores of the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color of the woods used is taken
into consideration. then the wood Itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before
In spite of its hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection Of wood, 50
that it is particularly well adapted for
use as floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings,. An important
advantage over all other processes OF
manufacturing mosaic floors is that il
is not affected by any change Of tenn
