CRIME IN CHICAGO.
Activity of Burglars Makes Burglary
Insurance UnprofitabIe.

Chicago, May 12.-The activity of bur-
glars has made burglary insurance in Chi
cago Improbable. The announcement
that a new high schedule of rates on
burglary insurance will go into effect
here on June 1 has brought to light some
startling facts in connection with this
Glass of insurance.
Representatives of prominent insurance
companies acknowledge that in the last
ten years the Chicago agencies handling
burglary insurance have sustained loss
of from $4,000 to $4,000. in spite of the
fact that the rates here are from % to 40
per cent higher than in New York, Phil
adelphia, and other large cities.
During the last five years the number of
burglaries and thefts in Chicago has in
creased to an alarming extent insurance
men say. Several companies have either
stopped taking risks. or have transferred
their business to some other company.

aid of pilots can sail or steam along
side the immense docks and piers. where
their cargoes can be loaded into railroad
cars and run direct for 5000 miles into
the city of ST. Petersburg. Five large
piers had been constructed each sup

ships could lie at the piers and load and

dry docks. one intended for ordinary
ocean steamers and the other designed to
accommodate the largest vessels of war
or commerce.

The terror in which submarine
boats have hitherto been held by
ocean vessels in time of war promises
to be entirely dissipated by the APP
pearance of simple apparatus, which
the inventor, J. b. Millet, calls ships
ears"
With this new device secret sub
marine attack is, the inventor claims,
made impossible, and all the former
disadvantages of the bell buoy and
the lighthouse, particularly caused by
a heavy fog, are done away with, for
the new ears" catch sounds under
the water and locate exactly the point
of the compass from which they
come.
In making use of the idea of trans
hitting sound signals under water the
originators of the scheme, A. J. Mum
dy and Prof Elisha Gray of Boston
were pioneers. When they started
their work in the summer of the Span
ish war they had no idea of making
"ears" for vessels, but when the re-
suits were finally turned over to Mr..
Millet last year he soon had his work
running on the lines on which it was
finally completed.
The principle Of the invention has
been established largely by expert
ments, but the method had not been
made practical. Mr., Millet undertook
to make it so and has apparently sue
ceeded.
The invention has been installed on
steamers of the Metropolitan Steam
ship company. and for four or five
weeks these vessels have been using
the apparatus constantly for the pur

pose Of testing its accuracy under all
conditions.
The captains of the steamers have
reported to the officers of their com
pany that they have been able, in
variably, to locate at three miles dis
lance the Boston lightship, upon
which a submerged bell was being
rung, when the vessels were approach
ing at full speed.
A striking instance of the efficacy
of the device occurred a short time
ago when steamer was approaching
the Boston lightship on her return
from New York. Owing to a severe
gale, which had been blowing for sew
eral days, the seas were mountain
Gus. AS the steamer came up Boston
bay the lghtship was obscured by
rain and fog. Not hearing the fog
horn on the lightship the captain
of the steamer turned to the signal
apparatus and, adjusting the ear
pieces. Immediately heard the sub
marine bell and got his direction. Five
minutes later, having proceeded on
his course, he heard the whistle on
the lghtship for the first time.
The receiving apparatus of this
unique submarine telephone has two
receivers, one for each side of the
vessel in which it is installed These
are enclosed in iron cases, screwed
into the hull of the vessel below the
water line. A connection is made by
house where the telephone box is
placed.

I don't blame you, as know you never

rocks like monkey, and now sits

BY heaven! there she is and he sig

er that swept around the point under
sail and anchored half a mile from
the shore.
THE excitement was now intense,
and bets were freely taken about the
result. They of the schooner saw
that they dare not approach nearer TO
the shore, and were evidently afraid
to send a boat through such a treach-
erous reef
THE sheriff danced with glee at

said:
Would you oblige me with your

establishment, as Chatlern had never

When matters were at a deadlock

the prisoner. All eyes were turned on

that the occupant was the sberIff's

Nearer and nearer crept the little
boat, lodging through the network OF
rocks till at last it was so near that

unselfish devotion Of the unfortunate

The sheriff was beside himself with

hazardous feat was performed
by Mrs. John Ali, wife of pioneer
who lives at the mouth of the Homi-
Homi river, and a young woman from
Boston.
The two were sightseeing up the
Homi-Homi, and had arrived at the
great waterfall at the foot OF the
upper canon. Seeing that a tree had
fallen across the canon above the
waterfall, making a rude bridge, and
desiring to cross to the other side,
the two climbed around the falls 20
the top of the canon and walked
across the log.
The Boston girl took the lead and
the log swayed dangerously as they
crossed. The distance from the log
to where the foaming waters beneath
pitched over the precipice is between
300 and $50 feet. Both the women
passed safely over, and did not real
ize, until later. that they were the
first persons, so far as known, who
had made the perilous trip, where
slip would mean instant death.
Since Mrs, Ali and her companion
made the trip the ranchers have been
bantering one another to follow suit
but none has yet made the attempt.

his ears. the listener can ascertain
whether or not there is any danger
or warning of danger ahead, and
where 1t is located.
This method is so accurate that the
steamers using the system have often
found their direction within one
point, and by little maneuvering of
the vessel a captain can always get
his direction with accuracy.
The vibrations which he hears are
initiated by the bell that is hung over
the side OF the lightship or suspended
in the water at the end of a cable
from a lighthouse or bell buoy. The
bells are struck by hammer exactly
like a bell in the air, only with more
force. These vibrations are taken
up by the receiver on the sides Of the
vessel and transmitted through the
telephone.
A type Of apparatus designed for
fishing boats or small vessels OF any
kind includes a receiving box, with
ball receiver, which is lowered into
the water. 1t is obvious that some
sounds would be too delicate TO pene-
trate the side of a vessel. To meet
this case, a receiver has been invented
which is lowered directly into the
water and picks mp sounds of com
paratively small intensity.
To appreciate the importance of
this iEcention to the maritime world
it is only necessary to consider that
at the present moment there are no
sound signals in the air which can
be trusted.
