great deal of interest, mingled perhaps
with CONSERVATION, has been excited by the
announcement of Scotland YARDS lat
est discovery kit of electric burglars
tools" One of the implements described
was an electric drill, the power for which
was carried in a case like an opera glass
receptacle, slung over the shoulder when
not in use, and giving the safe breaker the
appearance of a gentleman WHO treQuents
the race course. A very slight lnVeSuga-
ton however, Of the claims of the electric
motor as an aid to burglary shows that
here is little opening for the science In
that direction. because until research has
evolved a better way of storing the cleo
trio energy than is yet known, the accumu-
lator necessary to supply driving power Tor
a drill capable of cutting into modern
safe would have to be carried on a wheel
barrow, if not on truck. 1t was not pos
sible TO learn at Scotland Yard yesterday
the exact details of the wonderful tools,
as they have been sent to Sunderland to be
used in evidence against the prisoner cap
tured in Soho last Saturday. But enough
was learned to justify the belief that the
owner, whoever he may have been, only
used the instruments in an eX. erlmental
way. His possession OF them, ndeeds
speaks more for the persuasive capacity OF
the agent who effected the sale than 1t does
for the scientific attachments of the alleged
burglar.
The head of a prominent firm OF electric
appliance manufacturers says that to over
come the mechanical resistance OF boring
into an ordinary safe it would be essential
to have accumulators capable of supplying
at least one-half a horse power for three
hours, and that such a storage battery
would weigh fully two hundredweight. To
supply light while the drilling was going
on would take an even heavier appliance.
Another authority said that to do efficient
work an electric drill must be equipped
with a storage battery capable of develop
ing at least two horse power, and that even
then the ordinary ratchet or hand drill
would be fully as useful, if not quite as
peditious This gentleman said that great
deal of attention has recently been paid to
the matter of electricity, as arranged for
burglars in America. 1t has even been cal
culated that a properlyequipped safe-open
err could get into the strongest receptacle
by means of the arc principle. BY this
plan the burglar would connect the safe
with one. pole, of the light supply Of the
building in which he was operating, then
hold a carbon rod connected with the other
pole to that portion of the steel box where
it was desirable to effect an entrance. The
electric arc would thus be formed, a fierce
heat resulting which no metal can with
stand and a hole would soon be burned
through. There is only one drawback to
this ingenious idea. The conducting pow
ers of the wires feeding such an apparatus
would he taxed SO far beyond the normal
that the automat tic cutoff would come into
play and leave the burglar currentless.

bicycle Hysterin.
New York Evening Sun.


Bicycle hysteria is the latest. Not as a
fashion or fancy or freakish assumption,
but stern, hard. unacceptable fact that a
nervous femininity would like TO get away
from. but can't. Those who are just learn
ing to ride are most subject to il, il being
a frailty of the novice rather than the
adept. 1t is usually due TO some fright or
fall received right at the start. The hys-
terra shows itself in a sudden and violent
shaking not unlike an ague chill in gen
oral effect and is experienced by the victim
just as soon as she mounts the wheel.
After time, of course, it passes off. but
while ii lasts il is most unpleasant. Very
often the victim has TO be supported until
the seizure passes away. 1t would be no
use TO dismount, as she would simply have
TO go all through it again with each fresh
attempt, The attack seems TO be iaevita-
