YOUR HAND ON YOURHEART
New ''Secret Sign" of tho Metal Polisher,
and Buffers Union.

New 'Secret Sign" of tho Metal Polishers
and Buffers Union.
Though the labor unions are getting
tired of the old grips and passwords
which used to hold them together, they
are still in favor Of signs to identify
members at meetings. Among the or
ganizations which have abolished grips
and passwords and still stick to the
signs is the International Union of
Metal Polishers, Buffers, Platers and
Brass Workers. This organization has
established an entirely new sign to be
used by members when they are enter
ing union meetings and leaving them.
1t has issued statement giving the
sign to he used in future. The statement
says
"The proper sign to be made in the
future ON entering or retiring from q
room where there il meeting Is b.
placing the left hand over the heart and
raising the right perpendioularly over
the head. The president will answer by
placing the left over his heart. All signs
made previously will be discontinued. u
Nobody is supposed to know anything
about these signs except the members OF
the union, and they are not supposed to
give them away. The meetings are Sc
cret and only those who can give the
signs will be admitted. Each member is
to carry his duebook to the meeting. II
they have not their duebooks, they are
looked upon as nonunion people, unless
they are vouched for by the financial
secretary. ry.-New York Sun.

Opened In Ten Minutes.
A few weeks ago printed in this COL
umn statement made by Chicago
burglar to the effect that electricity could
be utilized for opening safes and that
the work could be done quickly, quietly
and safely.
This hint evidently set the electrical
experts to thinking and the safe manu-
facturers to experimenting, for 1t has
been practically demonstrated in this
city within the last ten days that no safe
is burglar proof" providing the bur-
glar can utilize electricity in his work.
Several of the best safes in the market,
guaranteed to be burglar proof" have
been entered by means of the electric
carbon within ten minutes, and those
who have watched the experiment are q
unit in declaring that the application Of
electricity to burglary means the praoti-
cal abolition of heavy Aafes 1t Is de-
clared that the safe Of the future will be
built just heavy enough to protect
against fire, and here it's mission will
end.
Since this matter has attracted so
much attention, it may not be amiss to
name the man who discovered that 1t is
possible to melt hole through several
inches Of solid steel and iron in few
minutes with an ordinary stick Of car
bon. The credit for this discovery rests
with Chicago's own peculiar criminal
puzzle, "Sleepy" Burke.
One day in 1898 Burke was going
through the Electrical building at the
Worlds fair and saw an experiment
there which Immediately interested him.
An exhibitor was burning holes through
various metals by electricity. He ex
planned to the intensely interested Mr..
Burke that the heat generated by the
electricity almost instantly took the
"temper" out Of the hardest metals
even case hardened steel-and that the
softened metal could then be melted al
most as Asily as lead. SLEEPY" thank
ed him and passed ON. That little ex-
pertinent, however, marked q new era
in safemaking and in the development
of crime. Prank 8. Pixley in Chicago

AN EIGHT TON MOLLUSK.
The Giant Octopus Cast Up Florida's
Shore Has Been Photographed.

SnOfe Has been Photographed.
The huge mollusk ashore ON the beach
Of Anastasia island continues to attract
the attention Of scientists. DR.. De Witt
Webb has received instructions to spare
no expense in obtaining series of pho
tographs Of the carcass, and with this
end in view he engaged four heavy
horses, dozen men, and with three sets
Of tackle went to South Beach for the
purpose Of raising the heavy object from
its bed in the sand and placing it upon
board platform so that it could be
photographed and examined ON all sides.
When the party reached the mollusk,
the tide was found to be favorable for
work, and after several hours Of labor
the great mass was hauled from the sand
in which it was imbedded and placed
on platform of boards. The men at
work, who are in the habit of handling
heavy weights, state that the carcass
weighs fully eight tons. What it weigh
ed when alive must be imagined, but it
must have been great, for the mass has
been ashore for nearly two months, and
if it is true that it fioated from the arc
tic regions it lost its tentacles and shell
en route. The shape of that part of the
mollusk that was imbedded in the sand
is similar to that which was exposed
from the time it came ashore, but an
other series of photographs will be tax
en-, as view Of the entire mass can now
be obtained since it has been placed on
the platform. These photographs will be
sent to the Smithsonian institution and
to Yale college for the purpose of classi-
fication. Florida Citizen.
