Tooth Marks Betray Thief.

The peculiar shape OF Charles
Mack's teeth is the cause Of his arrest,
and confinement In the county jail at
Omaha, on the charge of burglary. A
grocery store on Twenty-fourth street
was burglarized few evenings since
but the thief escaped. When the police
and citizens were investigating the
case Mack appeared and was very zeal
Gus in his search. Mack has peculiarly
formed teeth. A detective noticed
piece of cheese on a counter bearing
marks corresponding to Mack's teeth
and made him bite another piece. The
marks were identical and Mack was
arrested. The goods stolen from the
store were later found in his house.

USES OF LIQUID AIR.
some Dimoulties Experienced in Concenl
trating Its Power.

tratinE Its Power.
That onderful substance that has
surprised the world known as liquid
air has already become commercial
commodity and Is being sold by the
gallon for common use, just like milk
or molasses. Mr.. Iripler, the inventor,
has organized n company, of which
Judge Vincent of Chicago is one of the
directors, and Is selling rights to terri
tory throughout the United States.
So far as refrigeration Is concerned
liquid mir is a great success, but as a
motive power 1t is still in the expert
mental stage. 1t comes nearer perpet-
ual motion than anything ever invent
ed, because 1t multiplies itself over
and over again in the simplest manner
and can be produced Mt II cost of 10
cents n gallon In ordinary quantities
at cents Il gallon In large quantities.
AT temperature of 312 degrees be-
low zero in n liquid state 1t is lighter
than water and expands 800 times.
That is, one cubic foot of liquid can al
most instantly be expanded into 800
cubic feet OF aid, which illustrates its
mighty force. AS this expansion be-
gins the moment the temperature In
creases and cannot be prevented or re-
tnrded unless the temperature is re-
duced, the stuff is practically uncon-
trollable. Its consumption or exhaus-
ton must continue without Interrupt
ton or 1t will blow everything to
pieces.
was talking the other day with IN
engineer who has been trying to con-
troll 1t. He had worked for months to
devise some way by which 1t could be
applied to automobiles and other horse
less vehicles and to yachts and other
vessels. "a ship that starts from New
York." he said, "nnd goes straight to
Europe could be driven by liquid air
just as easily as by steam and could
manufacture its own power during the
voyage in the simplest manner possi
but, but the consumption of liquid air
must continue just ms rapidly when the
ship stops rs when 1t is going, be-
cause no vessels or tank was ever de-
vised of sufficient strength to hold it.
II we should apply it to horseless car
rlages the escape pipes would hnve to
be open continually whether the ve-
hicle was standing still or in motion,
simply because the stuff is bound to
expand, and If 1t cannot escape it will
burst any bonds that bind 1t. am
quite confident" he continued, that
sooner or later we will he able to In
vent some method Of regulating the
stuff (but for cold storage and all forms
Of refrigeration it is now easily adapt
ed."-Chicago Record.

WONDERFUL CURES BY FAITH.
Michigan Man Who Has Healed 400
Cases by Laying on of H.uds

Michigan Man Who Has Healed 400
Cases by Laying on of Hands
John Grifit. young laborer of
Niles, Mich, is attracting great deal
OF attention by his marvellous power
OF faith healing. 1t Is said that up to
date Grifflt has treated over 400 cases,
embracing nearly every variety OF dis
ease, and that he has effected cure In
each instance. He cannot explain his
power, but attributes 1t to a divine gift
which he believes that he received
when child. He has visions and be-
lieves In everything he dreams. He
will undertake to cure only at certain
times. at night time and in the new
and full moon. Young Griffit is O
bright-looking fellow. apparently quite
intelligent He invariably bestows his
services free. No less wonderful than
his curative feats Is the fact that he
can stop the circulation of the blood
instantaneously, when the body will
become cold as Ice. With no apparent
effort he can as speedily cause the
blood to resume Its natural course. He
is not a member of any church and
was never baptized in any faith. In
case vein is severed he can, without
bandages Of any form, stop the flow Of
blood instantly. The young fellow is
not familiar with the extent of his
wonderful abilities, as he has never yet
met with failure in his attempts to
cure. Altogether he is an extraordi-
nary character and is attracting wide
spread attention, especially in medical
circles. Griffit is "a years old and was
born in Miami county. Ind. At the age
of IA instinct told him that he pos
sessed marvellous powers of healing.
and his first case was that of horse
which was SO badly afflicted with tu-
NOR of the neck that his father was
about to kill the animal, when the boy
interceded and commenced operations,
and in a few days the animal was en-
tirely we'll. His next case was that of
young woman suffering with goiter,
which the boy cured in one week. His
method is to lay hands on patient
and pray.

Exploded A Year. After Being r,r,d.

Exploded A Years After Being Fir,d.
The longest time that is known to
have elapsed between the firing of a
shell and its explosion is forty-four
years. Recently shell which had
been fired into the Russian harbor OF
Sebastopol during the Crimean war at
least forty-four years ago, was haul
ed up by some fishermen, and 1t ex-
ploded on being taken from the wa
ter, killing one of the men and wound
ing several of the others, notwith-
standing the long period which had
elapsed since 1t had left the gun which
fred 1t. Finds of shells are exceeding
ly dangerous, II they happen to be un-
exploded ones, as similar accident
happened not long since at Bolton-le-
Sands, where a dredger named Wilson
fished up one that had been fired from
the artillery camp at Bare, and took 1t
home. An attempt to break 1t up cost
him an eye, foot and broken head,
besides causing serious damage to
property.

WOMEN STEAL A FIRE TRUCK.
Episode In tho Hook and Ladder and
Literary Society Warfare.


In the warfare that is being waged
in East Marion, L. l., over the custody
of hook and ladder truck purchased
by the women of the Literary society
of that place for the use OF the local
fire department the women have met
with their first defeat. The fight has
grown out of the recent action OF the
officers Of the fire companies in having
the village fire department incorporat-
ed. The women of the Literary So
ciety considered that this would de-
bar them from having any say con-
cerning the hook and ladder truck,
and they Immediately put in a claim
for the apparatus. They wanted their
gift returned, but what they intended
doing with 1t is not known. The fre-
men refused to surrender the truck, SO
the other night 1t was stolen from the
truck house. From that time until to-
day the members OF the truck company
secured the country side for traces of
their machine. Today 1t was discov-
cred secreted in barn. 1t was i'm
mediately taken back to the truck
house. The women assert they drag
ged the truck away themselves, but 1t
is understood that number OF male
sympathizers aided In the capture. A
guard will now be placed in the truck
house until the fight is settled.-New
