EXPERT SAFE OPENING.
A Proposal to an Expert from Burglars
Through a Detective.

Opening refractory vaults. safes and
burglar-proof chests is a science in it
self, and is surrounded by the utmost
secrecy by those who make a living
cut of 1t, says the Chicago Post. In
a talk man who has been in the
business 40 years said:
The essential qualifications which
a successful safe opener must possess
Is an intimate and instructive know
ledge of the mechanism and workings
or every variety of combination lock.
He must be born to the profession
and possess acute mechanical concep-
ton.
Nearly every obstinate safe which
am called upon to open presents
unique conditions demanding new and
individual treatment. The nature of
the difficulty must be correctly dag
nosed In advance, or the lock will
remain obdurate, for machinery does
not move by chance.
The biggest bait ever held out to
me came in the form OF proposal
a oHi ~ htN''liN' Win WiOlii 1 W us wen
acquainted. It had been supposed
that the locks made by n certain firm
OF safe manufacturers were proof
against the manipulatioas OF burglars
and experts. But few DAYS before |
was approached by he detective
had been called upon 10 open one OF
these safes and had succeeded. The
Incident gave rise to much comment
"As | was sitting alone in my Office
the detective entered and asked me if
] did not wish to M 7'Se some money.
! replied that | vas in the business
for just that purpose. lie then ques-
toned me closely as to my ability to
open the particular kind OF lock in
question. When satisfied that / was
easily able Ia do so. he said:
III tell you how you can grab off
a hundred thousand dollars without
the least trouble The boys know
whore there is n safe of this kind
which contains 5000 900 in paper cur
rency 1t is easy TO get at, and all
you'll have to do is to walk in, after
they have opened the way, unlock the
safe, take out 100000, and leave the
remainder for them. 1t is the easiest
kind Of money"
BY the boys" the detective meant
a notorious gang of burglars which
had been conducting a series of daring
operations. | told the detective that
! had been mucn given to card play
ing in my youth, thus acquiring
strong preference for lone hand
and that this prediction had become
too firmly fixed to be changed. He
took the hint, and left my office as
soon as possible.

DRAGONS HORN TRUMPET.
New Musical Instrument Devised by
a German Manufactures.

Germany is not only fertile In com
posers, but II would seem also in in
strument-makers, says the Berliner
Signale. 1t Is but a short time since
Ritters viola-alta became known since
that we have heard something about
a Violate and a 'cellono. or similar
names, and the newest invention IL .
dragon horn trumpet. The new instru-
ment Is oval shaped and terminates in
a horn. representing a dragons tongue
in the middle The cup-shaped mouth
piece Is bent like that brass clarinet.
The dragon-horn trumpet possesses
three valves and an apparatus for the
regulation Of the sounds. which allows
the player to pass without ceasing TO
blow from the loudest forte to the
softest piano. The timbre Is described
as partaking Of the corno di caccia and
that of the trumpet whence the name.
The happy inventor is G. W NORTH,
OF Berlin.

There was not the remotest chance of

the brigade chief himself known the
story or my wrongs. he would most
probably have rejoiced to think that
his buried wealth was destined to aid
me in carrying out so elaborate a plan
OF vengeance, All difficulties smoothed
/ themselves before me--obstacles were
taken out of my path-my way was
made perfectly clear-each trifling in
cident was a new finger-post point
ing out the direct road that led me to
the one desired end. God himself
seemed on my side, as He is surely
ever on the side OF Justice, Let not the
uhtaithful think that because they say
long prayers or go regularly and de-
Vouuy to church with meek faces and
piously folded hands, that the Eternal
Wisdom is deceived thereby. My wife
could pray-she could kneel like a
lovely saint in the dim religious light
of the sacred affairs, her deep eyes up
turned to the blameless, infinitely re-
proachful Christ-and look you each
word she uttered was blasphemy
destined TO come hack upon herself as
curse. Prayers are dangerous for
liars-it is like falling willfully on an
ulright naked sword Used as an
honorable weapon the sword defends
snatched up as the last resource of a
coward it kills.
