rifed to see the lad hanging with his
whole body over the sidewalk and
only the toes of his shoes visible,
clutching the angle of the window.

rushing to the window, he pulled the
lad in by his legs and landed him safe

knowledged that young Bryan was

One OF the most startling articles Of
the month is Nikola Tesla's on the pro-
blem OF increasing human energy, in
the June Century Magazine. This
daring genius, who causes both the
learned and the ignorant to marvel,
and who stops at nothing in the hea-
vens or on the earth or beneath it, in
his philosophy or experiments, dis
cusses proposition to increase human
energy by drawing power from the
earth's currents of electricity. With
this new power he proposes to recon
struct the worlds food and drink and
every phase of its industry. Further
more there are the most wonderful
Of the oscillators that he
has constructed to gather these power
full hidden currents, and the energy of
the sun. The article is long and filed
with the most minute detail as we'll as
with unlimited prophecy, but 1t Is pop
ular and understand able. One of the
curious details of it is Tesla's determi
nation to construct an autonatOn that
can think and reason and act for itself.

Mystery OF the Disappearance of Costly
Parcels Solved by Detectives.
Express companies ct st. Paul have
discovered a clever sWindle by which they
have lost a large amount of money and
which has been shrouded in mystery for
a long time. The man who is being look
ed for is known by so many names that it
has not yet been aseertained what his
right name is or who he is. He is a
chemist by profession, and it is by the
knowledge of this art that he has man
aged to operate his swindle. He would
appear in New York at one of the local
express offices with package valued at
$4,000, which he orders sent to some
part Of the, States. He then follows the
package to the place Of its destination,
where, under different name, he will
appear as the party to whom the pack
age was sent. The package is looked for,
but notwithstanding the fact that it is
registered on the books it is not to be
recovered. The sender then returns to
New York, where he presents claims for
loss of valuable property sent in care Of
the company. 1t has been discovered
that, instead of placing property of value
in the box, it contains a consumptiye
chemical preparation which so entirely
destroys the covering of the parcel and
everything in it that not q trace is TO be
found. This has occurred a number OF
times, and from certain indications it
would appear that he is not alone in his
operations, as a number of times the
package has been called for by a woman.

Professional safe-blowers operated IN

places, entered the Federal building
through a skylight and robbed the post
office. 1t is thought that the men escap-
ed TO Michigan City or Chicago or an
early morning train. According to tie
best reports the robbery must have oc-
CURED about l o'clock. Several clerks
were in the building until midnight, and
one of them noticed man hanging
around the building. He did not notify
the officers, however. The next morning
the office was the scene of great confu-
sion. There was a hole two feet square
in the ceiling, directly over the vault.
The maraHders bored a hole in the floor
above and cut through the steel ceiling.
They then used a rope and delivered
themselves down TO the main floor of the
Office; then drilled the safe and worked
The combination. They took all of the
stamps and postal cards in the vault, so
the city was for few hours without
postage. This is the third big burglary
of this kind in a month. Postmaster
