AN INGENIOUS BURGLAR.
How lie Opened IA Safe without Tools
or Explosives


An extraordinary account is given OF
how safe was opened by robber
who had at his disposal no instrument
of amy kind, hut operated merely with
his finger nail. The person who accom-
plished the feat revealed his intention
Of rohbing the iron safe In hotel to
another young man, who happened TO
be the cousin of the hotel proprietor.
As a matter of course the proposed
scheme To rob was revealed to the own
er OF the hotel and little before mid
night, when 1t WAS to be put into exc
cution, n couple of detectives were CON
ccaled behind the office counter.
A short time afterward the robber
entered the Office geStly, without either
tools or explosives Nhcrcwith 10 open
the massive iron receptacle, the com
blnatton Of which ii was evident he did
not know. He had, however, resorted
10 an ingenious plan of his own.
lie had pared the nail of his index
finger on the right hand until the blood
vessels were exposed. Then by placing
the sensitive wound on tho combina-
tion lock he could distinguish the move
mcnts of the tumblcrs us they fell. For
more thap an hour did he work, aud nt
last there came n sharp click, and he
swung back the doors of the safe.

Decay of ConfucIanism.

Careful observers in China are notic-
ing the gradual decay of Confucianism
Its sway over the minds of the Chinese
lterati is 10y no means what ii WIS
even as recently as thirty years ago
Ii Is true that there is apparently no
marked diminution i'll the number of
ancestral halls, the existence of which
all over the land serves ms an indica
ton of the vitality of the state re
ligion Yet nevertheless the more the
country Is pcrmcatcd with western
knowledge the more are the minds Of
the educated class becoming alienated
from the teachings To which before un
questioning obedience was accorded
The reason for this state of things
ii Is not difficult to comprehend 1t Is
gradually daWning upon the educated
young men of China that knowledge
of the Confucian classics is no longer
what II WIS from n commercial point
of view And the comprehension of
this fact Is sufficient TO account for the
diminishing interest that Is being taken
in the acquisition of Confucian learn
Ing. 1t must also be admitted that us
the broader and deeper knowledge in
troduced and inculcated by western
scholars Is becoming assimilatcd, there
is an ever increasing realization of
how Inadequate Confucianism Is not
wlthstanding its merits, to meet the
requirements of the present day

JOHN o,eRoAT,s HOUSE.
Famous DomiciIe That Was Long
Landmark In Britain,

In the reign of James ". of Scot
land John OGroat and his two broth
ers, Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at
Caithness and bought the lands of
Warse and Dugisby, near the beach at
the mouth of penland firth, the north
eastern extremity of the mainland of
Scotland. In time their families in
creased until there were eight house
holds of the same name. They lived as
neighbors in the greatest peace and am
ity, each year holding a festival in the
original house. At one of these annual
gatherings the question of precedence
arose among the younger members,
and they disputed as 10 whom should
sit nearest the "head of the table" or
enter the room first.
The old grandfather, johnny O'Groat
of history. WAS made arbitrator lie
promised to have all satisfactorily set
tied by the time of the next annual
meeting. Accordingly he built an eight
sided house in which to hold the an
nual Jubilee. This octagonal domicie
was fitted with n door and u window
on each side and round table in the
center. This arrangement made 1t pos
slbIe for each family of the O'Groats
to enter by his own door and to sit at
table which was practically without a
head"
This famous house was long a land
mark In Britain and even to this day IS
one of the Englishman's starting points
of measurement, Lands End TO John
ny O'Groats" signifying from one end
of England TO the other.
