ecIENcE sAFFLED THE BURGLAR.
A cyclometer Was the Means of
Bringing Him to Justice.

Science sometimes battles the bur
glar whose knowledge is not strictly
up-to-date. A thief who broke into a
house the other day lelsurely packed
his plunder In a compact bundle. then
added bicycle to the stolen articles
and rode off. So far he had exhibited
commendable common sense. for 1t
isn't every thief who is clever enough
to steal the means of transporting his
stealings TO his own lair. But he had
overlooked the fact that attached to
tho wheel was a cyclometer which reg.
istered the exact distance ridden by
the thief on his journey home. When
pursuing justice caught up with the
burglar he had disposed OF all his plum.
der except the wheel. The little cy-
clometer's record of distance travelled
proved the case against the thief, for II
registered the exact distance from the
house to the thief's quarters.

WHITE HOUSE CANES.
Call for Souvenirs That Cannot Be
Complied With.

Colonel William II. Crook, the vet
eran disbursing officer of the White
House, sometime ago arranged to give
few canes of historic value to his
friends. When the interior of the
Executive Mansion was being torn to
pieces by the contractors who are re-
modelling the building, Colonel Crook
obtained some of the flooring in the
room used for so many years by pres
idents. He was especially careful in
selecting portions of the flooring over
which Lincoln had walked, sat and
done business In the trying days of
the country's history. No man in
Washington knew better the habits
of President Lincoln around his Office
than Colonel Crook. whose first work
at the White House was as bodyguard
for the great war executive. Many a
day and night Colonel Crook, who was
then n policeman on the city police
force. remained with and near to Pres
ident Lincoln. His mind is full of
"reminiscences Of Just how the fcmous
President worked. what kind of a desk
he used. how he handled himself, and
other details of personal interest. on
obtaining the flooring from the par
ticular spot he had selected Colonel
Crook sent the timber to wood work
wan and had dozen or so canes made
!cr presentation to his friends, who
appreciated most highly the gifts be-
cause they were confident OF their
historic value. Mention Of the canes
was made in the Washington Star.
With the consequence that during the
9st two mouths Colonel Crook has
2cen unable to meet the demand, and
e has been kept busy with gratui-
tous correspondence. Several female
| organizations of benevolent and
charitable nature in Washington have
gathered hundreds of pieces of timber
and almost every article from the
wreck of the interior of the White
House, and propose to convert them
into small souvenirs to be sold here
| and elsewhere, the proceeds to be
used by the organizations in their
work. The relic hunting at length in
terferred so seriously that visitors to
the grounds had to be shut out. and
the few who were admitted got in by
a card from the superintendent in
charge.

Poor, debt-ridden Portugal, with her
people breaking into revolt because
the government dares to make an ar
rangement by which her foreign creo-
itors will get portion of the interest
due them. forms a pitiable contrast
to that nation in the days when her
people were the greatest traders and
colonizers in the world; when Da
CANA doubled the Cape OF Storms
and "the gorgeous East poured in her
lap all gems in sparkling showers"
With a population of 100000. she is
burdened with an outstanding debt of
over $685., 100000, about evenly divided
between external and internal obliga-
tions. and, as a side issue, has float
ing debt of something like 100000, 900.
With large balance of trade
against her and an annual deficit in
her budget, 1t seems like a hopeless
task to try to put the little kingdom
of the Lusitanians on a paying basis.
Yet Portugal has resources which, II
developed, would add greatly to her
wealth and paying ability, and colo
nies, now a burden upon her, which
she might dispose of for sums sufti-
cient to go a considerable way toward
rehabilitating her finances.
There are between 100000 and s.
100000 acres of land, capable of pro-
ducing rich crops, now lying unculti-
waited in the kingdom. She possesses
considerable mineral wealth, but for
want of coal and cheap transportation
large proportion of her valuable
mines remain unworked and new ones
are seldom or never opened-Chicago

Ihey Are NOW Being Successfully

Roentgen rays are now being sue
cessfully employed in Germany for
treatment of animals. Professor
Hoffman. director of the Royal Veter-
mary Hospital in Stuttgart, has en-
ployed them with uniform satisfac-
tion. He began by using the rays on
dead horses in order to establish the
time OF exposure necessary for vari-
GUS parts of the body and organs

OF a live race horse which had brok-

dunn timid and well-behaved animals
have been photographed with the
rays apparatus without special pre-
cautionary methods If familiar with
the noise of the camera outfit. Un-
manageable horses have been proto-
graphed after being harnessed with
heavy blinkers and dosed with sooth-
ing medicine. X-ray pictures of ami
mails, Professor Hoffman says. are of
highly practical value, enabling the
detection OF variety of diseases.
