The Robbery.
The robbery of the Burlington north.
bound limited on the night of August

one and was cleverly conceived. The
train was tagged at Marcus, a small
station nine miles south of Savanna
and the engineer stopped, as he was
often tagged for passengers there.

The Spectroscone.

Originally the spectroscope was ap-
pied only to chemistry and in that
limited field proved itself an invaIuabl
aid In accurate analysis. BY holding in
a bunsen flame a platinum wire mois-
tened by contact with the skin the
presence of few grains of salt swal-
lowed a few minutes previously can be
detected with the spectroscope. In
deed. so wonderfully refined is the
work OF the spectroscopic chemist that
he can discover in a substance the
presence of one three-millionth of a
