cutting up the body of the woman who
hired her soon after Major Griffiths be-
lieves that he was prevented from having
her in his own house only through her
learning of his official position. But he
admits it was narrow escape.
There seems to be no doubt at all that
crime does not pay in the sense Of its being
a trade to make money at. The earnings
of the criminal classes fall far below those
of day laborers. the mere ability to work
with the hands at digging being better paid
than the average thief. Yet many of the
most vicious are good workman. and some
of them highly expert in the use of tools.
The major relates that he was annoyed by
having the keys of the prison locked into
a safe while he was building Wormwood
Scrubs prison in 1877. The gatekeeper
had put them in accidentally, and there
was no apparent way Of getting them out
again. 1t was absolutely necessary that
Major Grifiiths should respond to a call
elsewhere, and he bethought him Of asking
the chief warden if he did not have some
experienced "cracksman'' who could be
sent for. A housebreaker. aotorious
through the three Kingdoms. happened to
be in that particular jail under sentence
for fifteen years. The warden sent for him
and he was brought to the office.
Can you open this safe for me?" asked
the major.
DO you mean it. sir?" asked the pris-
oner in turn.
He was assured that it was a serious
question. and though there was nothing
but an ordinary carpenters tool in the Of
flee he had the safe open in less than three

THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
Signal Officers Comment on Mar

Signal Officers Comment on Mar
coni's Latest Successes.
Colonel Alien, Acting Chief Of the War
Signal Service, referring to the cabiegram
in The Times this morning saying that
experiments had weathered a gale in the
English Channel. says there is nothing
wonderful in the fact that Marconi was
able to send messages across the English
Channel yesterday by wireless telegraph
while the gale roared deafeningly around
South Fordham lighthouse and Boulogne.
Had there been thunder and lightning the
electric wave, the medium OF wireless
telegraphy, might have been broken and
the coherer or receiver might have gather
ed lightning shocks. Wind and rain do
not affect wireless telegraphy.
Yesterday in an experiment conducted
by Sergeant Bath in the War and Navy
building electrical experiment stations of
the signal service, at the suggestion of
Colonel Allen a wave was sent through the
heavy wall of the corridor with perfect
effect.
The coherer is a glass tube containing a
mere trifie of silver and nickel filings. 80
per cent silver and per cent nickel. The
armature is a magnet of the decoherer.
The wave causes the filling to cohere-at-
tract the decoherer which separates the
particles again the moment the wave
ceases.
Yesterday the wave-maker, two brass
ball electrodes. were put in the window of
the experiment station facing Fort Myer.
The plant for use at Fort Myer IS over at
the fort but not in place. Lieutenant

ELECTRIC Cabs In Paris.

tfaris Correspondence of the London Telegraph
Members of the Society for the Prevep-
tion OF Cruelty to Animals ought to rejoice.
Tor Paris In year or two will no longer be
called the hell of cab horses. at least.
although it may still remain the purgatory
OF men and the paradise of women, accord
ing to a hackneyed saying. Next month
the General Company Of Vehicles will send
out ITO electric motors. the number be-
ing increased as other cars are ready. 1t
is expected that during the Exhibition year
1000 motor cabs and hackneys will be
running. and that by degrees the $500
facres or sapins now in use will be sup
pressed. The horses-poor. battered old
Rosinantes Of the Paris streets-will be
allowed to die Of age unless strict economy
should impel the company to have them
shot straight off when utterly unfit for
aught but the knife of the knacker. Any
how. the nags used up will not be replaced.
The new motors are to be supplied with an
electric accumulator capable of working
over about 81 miles without need of re-
plenishment
Four kinds of vehicles are to be put in
circulation. First comes the landaulet
open or closed, with four places, and to be
hired at francs the journey, or francs
so centimes the hour. Next comes a coupe
or ordinary sort OF cab or four wheeler,
then the vehicle with rotund interior for
four persons. and the imitation of the ex-
isting hackney of commerce, with a large
shelf seat or strapontin, in addition to the
usual accommodation. All these vehicles,
with the exception of the landaulet, will
run at the tariffs now in use. The delay
in getting out the new motors has been
caused by the difficulty of finding a proper
type Of accumulation. The drivers of the
vehicles will be smart-loooking cabmen,
who seem rather ponderous and clumsy in
their high hats and long coats. The motor
conductors or stokers are to wear white
glazed, fiat caps. black jackets and trous-
ers with yellow piping and gilt ornaments,
bearing the companys monogram In a
comparatively short space Of time Parisians
will talk of calling motor instead Of a
cab. while the word '-cocher" is destined
to be replaced by that of Chauffeur or
stoker. The transformation thus effected
will undoubtedly take rank among the
chief innovations OF the century.

Stories of Crime.
fFrom the Chicago News

One OF the interesting books of the wear.
though the interest is of rather a grew
some sort. is work from the pen Of a
former governor of several English prisons
and an accepted authority on wrongdoers
and their offences, Mysteries of Police
and Crime; General Survey of Wrong

Griffiths. Especially familiar is the writer
with the methods in use in London. and
1t is curious for an American to read that
the French police authorities hold the
police of London in the greatest respect
and copy their methods in more ways
than one. We forget that we compare the
English procedure with our own only to
find the authorities there not so ready to
adopt the latest devices as those in our
large cities; while We get our impressions
of the French from the novels OF Du
Boisgobey and others, without recalling
the fact that it was Edgar Allan Poe who
taught the French how to write these very
stories.
There Is no doubt that criminality ZONES
