CRIMINALS great aid to honest men
Criminals as inventors of alibis and
aliases are well recognized, but GRIM
inals whose thoughts have lightly turned
to crooked apparatus, which afterward
have been converted to economic use in
society, are without fame.
And yet the national mints of Ger
many, France and Italy are using
coin making machine which was orig
mated and perfected by Manchester
counterfeiter. whose best-known alias
was Henry Harvey.
Harvey neglected to patent his inven-
ton, however, and instead of living
sumptuously on his royalties he is spend
ing a monotonous life in prison at Port
land, England.
It was in 1895 that certain Manchester
numismatists began to take exception
to certain sovereigns in circulation.
They queried the mint officials to know
why, II sometimes such perfect coins
as the inclosed could be turned out, why
not at all times?
These pretty coins were found to have
been made by Mr.. Harvey mot "Coin"
Harvey, however), and the result was
the imprisoning of the inventor and the
exploitation Of his invention.
Distuybs the rolice.
Three years ago a certain Count
Ether was a disturbing factor in police
circles Of continental Europe. His name
was not In the peerage. but rather had
come into slang use because of the per-
sons faculty for disappearing.
Frits Won Schmidt was the mans real
name, and In three months of 1898 he
and his confederates stole $1O.00O.0OO
from the strong rooms Of Paris, London
and Berlin banks.
In each case a hole was found melted
through the steel plates until the arm
or the whole body of a man might pass
through.
1t was a mysterious series Of crime
that almost paralyzed European money

world over They buy cosmetics by the
carload in futile attempt to restore
vanished beauty; but never stop to con-
slider the fact that all the external APP
plcations obtainable will not improve
looks as will content, happiness and
good nature.
A suggestion that may be new to some
mothers is that any shoemaker will stain
russell shoes black, charging a quarter
for the work. This gives an additional
lease Of life often to pair Of perfectly
good tan shoes that must otherwise be
discarded at the approach Of cold
weather, and which would be useless

girl or boy. The stain is permanent, and,
after polishing, looks as well as a shoe
that started in life black.
/. Umbrella handles have for some time
contained compasses, watches and vast
array of similar effects. 1t remains for
this season, however, to bring out some-
thing new. This is an umbrella handle
in the form of turtle, made of gold
and silver, in the popular Holland gold
and oxidized silver combination. This
form. by the way. is very much in vogue.

centers. Then one day Won Schmidt
appeared, seeking a patent on a new
substance called thermite-a substance
which steelmakers say will increase the
cost of battleship more than one-third
from the present scale.
In exploiting this substance to the
patent office, Won Schmidt showed what
1t would do in melting holes in steel
tempered sheets.
With an ordinary gasoline pot, such
as Is used by painters in warping paint.
this thermite created heat that melted
steel like wax, and In the exhibition
the Perrin police became the most in
terested spectators, putting the dreaded
safe robber under arrest.
School for Crime.
Years ago the police of Paris raided a
school of crime, conducted by Du Chail-
lou. and out of which following Of
small boys with nerves of STEEL had
been preying upon the public purse.
The wonder was how such small
gamins as Du Chaillou employed had
nerves for such work as they were
found guilty OF.
Under stress of an inquisitiOn, the
principal in crime confessed and showed
to the police the first hypodermic needle.
The man had been apt at medicine, but
wrong at heart.
He had sunk so low in the social scale
as to adopt a life Of crime, and he
found that the stimulation of certain
drugs, introduced into the skin by this
needle, nerved boys to any theft.
His crimes were .repudiated. hut the
needle itself Is q boon to medicine and
surgery.
Deep sea diving has been made posi-

years, and for time had been a porter

plans. When he had learned all about
