When You wake UP at 2 o'clock in the

OF wages for 1900 is higher than in 1901

Some Curious Locks.

In the middle ages cunning crafts
men in metal work were wont to eX-
pend much skill and ingenuity in the
designing of locks constructed in such
a manner as to battle the attempt of
any but the initiated to open the
doors they guarded. Many really won
derful examples of the locksmith's art
remain today, pieces of ingenious Gun
ming almost past belief.
Most common of these locks, per
haps, were the apostle locks, SO called
because they were adorned in front
with a tiny figure OF one of the apos-
ties, and the bolts would fly back only
when the hand, the head or some par
ticular part of the drapery of the fig
ure was touched. In the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth certain smith
named Mark Scalst fashioned lock
so diminutive that, although it con-
sisted of eleven pieces of iron, steel
and brass, it weighed, together with a
pipe key, but the small amount of
two grains.

STATION STATION IS CLOSED.
United States Life Saving Station in
This City Closed Friday Even
ing at Midnight.
THE YEAR SHOWS A GOOD RECORD
While No Big wrecks called Out the Life
Saving Crew, Manv Lives Were
Saved by Their Vigilance.

At midnight Friday evening the
doors of the Kenosha life saving sta
ton were closed for the season. With
the closing of the station comes the
disbanding of the crew for another
year. and while no one will remain at
the station during the winter, and
while the beach will not be patrolled
by the members of the:crew, the crew
will almost to man remain in Keno
sha and be ready for service should
they be called out by an emergency.
The year has been an eventful one
for the life savers, and while they have
not been called to the rescue OF any
wrecked boat, they have saved nearly
a score of lives from the peril of the
sea during the year. One large boat
f1oundered near theKenosha beach, and
the Kenosha station removed the crew
from the Winnie Weaver, in a heavy
sea, But other accidents have
called out the department fully score
of times, and there are few venture
some boys in Kenosha who are IN debt
to the crew for saving their lives.
At one time the crew rescued whole
fleet of naptha launches from Racine.
They picked up several small yachts
and assisted in releasing one which
had gone on the beach snear the SAM
tarium. Besides this work the crew
had been called upon several times to
remove bodies from: the lake and har-
Dor.
The crew which went out of COM
mission last night was onesot the best
trained that ever worked at the Keno
sha life saving stationsand our people
will be glad to know that the same
efficient crew wi110be here again next
wear. Near1yssevery one Of the men
have a record as lifesssaver3and all of
them have3 been fearlessssin the dis
charge of their duties.
The crew. consists of NCapt. b. q.
