The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-06-05

There IS a Chinaman in San Fran
cisco whose name is Lee Chung. But
1t is not Mr.. Chung's name which at
tracts notice; it is his trade.
Some years ago he entered into
contract with the Six Companies to
exhume tho bones of all Cinnamon
who had died in this country. The
Six Companies found that it was hard
to induce Cinnamon to come here I'M
less it was stipulated that in case OF
death their bones should be finally
buried in China,
So they engaged the services OF
Mr.. Chung as their agent in the carry
ing out of this agreement. He keeps
track of the remains of all the clients
of the Six Companies that have died
and sees to 1t that they are carefully
boxed up and sent back to China.
His duties take him to all parts OF
the country, and he has sub-agents in
all the large cities where Cinnamon
have settled.
His contract makes in incumbent
upon him to prevent the bones from
being mixed. They are separately
packed in white muslin bags and nc
bone must be broken or sawed. Each
set of bones is labeled and carefully
recorded in the Six Companies office
when and where buried, when ex-
hurned, when shipped to China, and
the account finally closed with the re-
ceipt for the bones from the dead
mans relative.

Chita was a cat that lived on a
ranch in Fresno county, California.
One morning she appeared in the
kitchen with six kittens, of which she
was intensely proud. AS there are all
sorts of rats, mice, gophers and even
squirrels and rabbits to feed on, kit
tens are. never killed on ranch, so
Chita was allowed to remain in full
possession of her newborn family.
One day while she was out foraging
vicious dog stole into the kitchen
and killed all the young kittens.
For many days afterward poor Chita
wandered listlessly around the place,
mewing piteously. Then, suddenly, she
disappeared.
1t was thought that some dog had
caught her, too, and that she had met
the same fate as her kittens. But a
week later she turned up.
She was discovered early one morn
ing in the same box where she had
cared for her little kittens. She arose
and came out on the floor.
In the box were 1--WE little jackrab-
bits, so small that they could hardly
move. Chita had gone out into the
fields and robbed some mother jack
rabbit Of her family TO replace her
own.
For some weeks chita nursed her
new family as she had done her old
but presently the little jacks showed
most 'uncatly" disposition to hOr

this hayward tendency and tried Ia

sleep, and off goes the weapon, prob
ably wounding the sleeper or his bed
fellow.
Do not attempt to jump out of bed
and grapple with a burglar In your
room, for the same reasons that you
should not try to shoot him. Lie per-
fectly still until he has left the room
and then endeavor to brighten him off
and remove the danger to your life in
the manner already described.
Notifying the Authorities.
Once "a burglar has become fright
ened it will not take him long to make
his escape. He generally leaves win
dows unlocked and doors open so that
he will lose no time in getting away
either before or after the job is fin
ished. Whenever he can he departs
by the rear, as he is not so likely to
meet any one in the alley as in the
street. If your room has window
opening on the rear, you can witness
the fellows departure therefrom and
know that the coast below is clear

for you to venture downstairs to sum-
! mon the police several minutes after

will have to make several movements
preliminary to aiming at him, while
he can simply whirl about on you and
bang away. His advantage may. be a
matter of seconds only, but seconds
count in such a situation.
l firmly believe that a revolver I'M
der a pillow is more dangerous to it's
owner than TO the criminal it is meant
to protect him from. What have l a
pistol here for, if not to shoot?" the
owner asks himself when he sees a
burglar in his room, and he forthwith
reaches for it and thereby puts his life
in jeopardy. He also uses the same
line OF argument when he hears bur-
glar below stairs; he goes to the head
of the stairs and fires away, forgetting
that his pistols flash gives his location
away to the enemy, who is shrewd
enough not to fire first under such cir
cumstances. Then, too, if the sleeper
is ever so restless, he may knock the
revolver to the floor, or touch the trig-
ger with a hand thrown about in his

But before you go after the authori-
ties do not neglect to impress upon
the other members of the household

his business-or a piece of wire left
behind may be sufficient evidence to
the trained eye and mind to put the
detectives on the right track and lead
to the ultimate capture of the Grim
inal.
For the same reason, if neighbors
have been attracted to your house by
your adventure, keep them from walk,

their footprints with those of the bur-
glar. Important evidence is frequently
destroyed in this manner. And do not

A Census of Ant Colonies.

A German naturalist recently made
a census of ants. He arranged an APP
pliance that permeated an ant hill
with sulphur vapors until all the in
mates were dead. Then he carefully
dug up the entire colony and put earth
and all into a bag, which he carried
to his laboratory.
The sorting and counting of the
ants required more than a week of
steady work. He found 22,5SO ants
and 1880 larvae in it.
The investigator was not satisfied
with this: for he argued that some
ants must have escaped and that many

Several years earlier, in the same
town, a butcher met death under sim
liar circumstances. and about the same
time another Brooklyn citizen endeav-
ored to rush downstairs upon the in
truders, but before he had gone ten
steps he received three bullet balls
through his body.
Brooklyn is not unique in this re-
speot. 1t is simply representative. Ev-
cry city can show a long record of
murders committed by burglars.
A burglar always goes about his
jobs armed. and that burglar is a rare
exception who prefers capture to TAX

and all.
Precautions Against Burglary.
To reduce to the minimum the
chances of burglary of your house, see
to IT that no stranger not properly
vouched for is let past your door.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
for burglar or his confederate, a
day or two before he enters your house
under cover of darkness to present
himself at your door with some such
information as: I'm the gas man.
and I've come to look over the pipes
and fixtures" or, I'm the plumber,
and Mr.. Smith. my boss. said 1 was
to see that everything was all right"
or I'm building inspector and want
to see If the fire escapes are in good
working order"
The man is admitted without ques-
ton, and while he goes about from
room to room, ostensibly examining the
gas fixtures. or the plumbing, or what
not, he also takes in the sideboard with
its display of silver, the various dress
ing tables with their burdens of sill
yer toilet articles, and the general ar
rangement of the house. Then, when
he has secured all the necessary infof-
nation, he leaves, to return that night
or the next.
Never admit or let any one be ad-
mitted to your house without the
| proper Endorsements; and 4 you also
refrain from promiscuously displaying
your silver, you need have little fear
of burglars. A burglar does not, as a
rule, enter a house on which, in the
language of the street, he cannot ''get
line"

o. the workers. no doubt, had been
away from the colony.
Being aware of the trait that makes
ants crawl in hordes over any new
object near their colonies, he laid
broad pieces of smooth wood in their
paths and scraped the ants off into
receptacles of alcohol at intervals
This process was continued for a
whole week. till the hill was depopu-
lated.
Five ant hills were thus examined
in one summer and the census showed
that they had the following popula-
tions: 53,01S, 67,470, 1888, 1854 and
47.S2S ants, all of which were workers

What to Do When in
Danger from a Burglar
BY A. L. DRuMMOND,
OF Drummond's Detec tive Agency.

Note-The author of this article is
q member of the famous detective
family, the father of which was for
merly chief Of the United States
Secret Service-Editor.
How many times we have all heard
this bit of conversation:
Nov, what would you do if you
should awaken to find burglar in
your house,"
"Well-why-ahem-I hardly know.
I couldn't say until the occasion
arose.
Yet the proper course to follow in
such a situation is simple. 1t is
exercise the GOODNESS and caution Of
true courage.
Above all things, if you aspire to
be courageously cautious. do not rush
out from your room in an attempt to
corner and capture the burglar. There

are two good and sufficient reasons
against such a foolhardy procedure.
In the first place, the intruder will
have YOU at a decided disadvantage.
You have just awakened and your
ewes are unused to the darkness, while
his have been peering through it for
some minutes and are keen in his be-

is, while, from previous exploration
or exterior investigation, he has To-

favor. for white stands out in black
surroundings. Even though you essay

to creep upon him unawares, his ears
are as sharp as a watch dogs, and he
hears insignificant noises that yours
fail to catch. Every step that you
take is known to your adversary,
crouching somewhere before you IN
the sheltering darkness. You are en-
tirely at his mercy.
The Result of FooIhardy Action.
In the second place, try to corner a
burglar and nine times out of ten he
will shoot, and shoot TO kill. How
many times have each of us read in
the newspapers of this or that man

night he thought he heard a burglar.
He went hunting for THE intruder,
who sprang out of closet and shot
him dead.

BY Marion Olcott Prentice.
TO Develop the Chest and Arms-My
landlady objects to my fastening an
exercise outfit to the wall in my room.
Is there any other way one can de-
velop the chest and ar1ns?-Agnes.
Realizing the difficulty and obiec-
for attaching exercising outfits to the
wall by girl who boards away from
home, I give a simple method for
strengthening the chest and arms which
can be performed in ones own room
without the aid of any appliance, except
the ordinary armless cane-seated chair.
Wear only loose bath slippers to protect
the feet and a gymnasium suit consist
ing Of blouse and knickerbockers; fail
ing in this a low-neck sleeveless knitted
undervest and short petticoat.5 of thin
muslin will answer very we'll. The
main point, is to wear nothing which
will prevent the free use of the muscles.
Always ventilate the room just previous
to the exercise to insure pure air and
do not forget to breathe deeply, which
will materially assist in strengthening
the muscles, aside from the. immense
blood. Place the chair in an open
space about four feet from the wall,
grasp the front edge of the seat firm
ly with the right hand and the top
edge of the back Of the chair with
the left hand; stretch the legs back
chair, % z@ resting t on the @ toes ssov with heels
against the wall, or any firm object,
keep the body rigid and by. bending
the arms lower the body until the up
per part of the abdomen or waist-line
touches the chair edge; then raise
by strengthening the arms. Of course
the greatest strain comes upon the
arm which grasps the front edge Of
chair. Then reverse the movement
by standing on. the opposite. side of
front edge of chair and right hand on
back of chair. Practice only a few
minutes at time at first to avoio
strain and overfatigue. It may be
quite impossi BILE to keep the body anc
arms rigid at first, but a few minutes
exercise each day will soon show a de
cided control until you can easily holt
the prescribed position.
