/ REMARKABLE INVENTION.

A Chicago electrician has arranged
an electric apparatus with which he
cuts steel as a warm knife blade does
cake OF butter He cut a 22-inch
steel heam in twenty-five minutes, an
operation that would usually require
the labor OF six men for the greater
part OF IA working day. AS a safe
opening implement it is wonder.
The electrician can not only open
safes by boring holes into the door,
but he can actually cut the safe itself
In two. Owners OF safes fear that
should his invention become common
property, 1t will be no longer safe to
store valuables In strong boxes.
