hat the burglar needs for breaking open
a safe by this latest process is provided
by the owner of the safe. 1t is found
in every modern office building. 1t is
readily accessible and it makes no noise.
1t is plain, everyday electric power.
No suspicious looking toolbag is need
ed by the u~p-to-date burglar; he carries
no gunpoWder to endanger his own life
and alarm the neighborhood with the
sound of it's explosion when the time
comes for bursting open the safe: there
is no necessity for painfully laborious
drilling through hardened metal while
every moments delay means risking a
term in states prison. All the burglar
wants is a set of carbons such as are
found in any electric street lamp and a
supply of copper wire. With these in
his pocket the scientific burglar saun-
ters out to crack a safe. Should he be
arrested before he gets to the place he
intends to rob he has nothing about him
that is discriminating. "Jimmies'' and
false keys are not carried by honest citi-
zens and many a burglar has been nab
bed with these on him convicted with
out having satisfaction of knowing that
he has earned a term in prison. But
the burglar who travels with no more
formidable toolbag than a pocketful of
carbons can pass as an electric lineman
or several varieties of honest workman.
The method Of using the carbons is so

access has to be gained to the office in
which lies the safe whose contents have
aroused the BURGLARS cupidity. This is
usually easy. So much so hat no burg
lar counts it an obstacle worth consider
ing. Every business man recognizes
this. Hence the necessity for tho
hur"lar-nroof safe at whose door Bill
Sykes is supposed to stand helpless.
When the modern Sykes gets to this
door he looks around for the nearest
electric i"ht Wire. So many are ut
han in the office buildings of every
larg city that it is very easy to discover
one. 1t may be necessary to tap a
wire on the roof of the building or a lit
tie gymnastic work may be required in

The newspapers of the country have,
from time to time, published articles upon
the work of taking the Twelfth Census of
the United States and its newly acquired
possessions. Suffice it to say, however,
that the preparatory work in this con-
nsction is SO far advanced that a few
days only will be necessary to find the
enumerators fully equipped with the
!, required blanks and instructions to per-
form their duties with accuracy and
within the time specified by law. In
: this connection, l wish also to say, that
the public has no conception of the
enormous quantity of printed schedules,
2 blanks, circulars, envelopes, cards, etc.,
that will be distributed to the enumera.
tors and canvassers to facilitate them in
their work of gathering the statistics
relating to the population, manufacture,
agriculture, and the numerous other
industries that will be included in this
Census.
At this age of civilization, when it is a
rare thing to find a man, woman, or child
over the age of eight years, who cannot
read or write, you will readily under
stand why SO much literature and printed
matter is needed. 1t is the intention of
Hon. w. r. Merriam, the Director of the
Census, to leave no stone unturned in
securing a concise and accurate count in
all the branches named, and he thinks
this can best be reached through the
medium Of printers ink.

into details, as the subject is too broad
to do it justice within the allotted
space. The object Of this article is
to direct your attention, or rather to
enlighten you, upon the modus operandi
Of the use of the card record (of which
a cut appears below in reduced form), for
ascerta:ning the population and other
information incident thereto. There will
be eighty millions OF these cards-one for
each living inhabitant.

Quong Wah from the stern of the

water was disturbed. A long, curling
arm shot through the air with the
whizz of lariat and grasped the body

itself around one of the seats and

squirmed helplessly in the bottom OF
the boat. The men then attacked the
tentacles that were gradually crush.

The monster then gave up the fight
and settled beneath the water. The
dismembered arms measured nearly Is

friends of the fishermen and converted
into stew that is looked upon as a
famous oriental delicacy.

fair to make at least twenty-five bar
rels a day. The well was put down to
the Keener sand a distance of eleven
hundred and siXty-five feet and it will
be shot as soon as arrangements can
be made. Wells in this sand uzu7lly
are not large producers as are those
drilled to greater depth, but there
are at present several profitable fields
in which no well is below the Keener
sand.-Cambridge Sun.

The Glories of the Future state.
(By j. r.. Barnes.)


(By j. r. Barnes.)
AS we have natures like to God,
We cannot rest ON earth for long;
We need to rise above the sod,
To gain a life for glory strong.
For this God gave His only son,
To come and die. our souls to save;
And when on earth our work Is done,
To reign with him beyond the grave.
True faith in Jesus is sign
BY which we know our future state;
Our love to Him and hopes combin
To prove its glories very great.
How great those glories are to be,
We cannot need on earth to know;
But when with angels we shall see,
The countless sources whence they go
To reign with Him we must adore,
We shall esteem complete success;
The more we know, to love Him more
Insures perfect blessedness.
Our glory then will be to praise
The triune God-head one in three;
For all their great and gracious ways
That crown our boundless jubilee.

EXPLORER ON ALASKA LINE
II. NJ. white Declares Yukon valley,
Including I<londiI<e, Should
BE Ours.

Richard Mansfield White, an explorer
and mine owner. from New York, in an
interview at Skaguay. maintains that
the stated boundary line, ten leagues
from the sea, is crossed by numerous
streams, and therefore cannot be the
boundary which it is sought to locate.
II find,' he says, that line between
Alaska and Canada at distance of ten
marine leagues from the winding of
the coast is crossed by more than 13
rivers or streams, emptying into the
Pacific ocean between Portland canal
and the one hundred and forty-irst me-
ridian, and that from that fact alone
there cannot be summit or divide of
drainage nearer than the said ten ma
rine leagues. and therefore the conten-
tion of the British that the boundary
should, approach nearer to the coast
than the said ten marine leagues is not
tenable. Also the SUBMITS of White
pass and Chilkat pass cannot be taken
as the summit of the range of noun
tains which extend in a direction paral-
lei to the coast from the fifty-siXth de-
gree of north latitude to the point of
intersection of the one hundred and
forty-first degree of west longitude, for
these SUBMITS are continuous for that
length, but are only the SUBMITS of
passes between mountains, locally, and
not the summit of such an extensive
range of mountains as the treaty con-
templates"
Following this contention, the ex-
plorer maintains that the whole of the
Yukon valley, including the Klondike,
should be a part of Alaska proper and
the domain of the United States.
