Thieves Up in Science

Any given house once entered the
scientific German can open the strong
est cast-iron safe by means OF an oxy-
hydrogen blowpipe, which produces
heat so intense as to melt any metal
against which il is directed. The fol-
lowing plan is also practiced: A re-
cent chemical discovery has produced
a preparation known as thermite. If
a portion of this is placed on the top
of safe heat is generated so power
full that the toughest steel cannot
Withstand it and a hole is burned in
any desired portion of the receptacle.
Doubtless these are the men who are
now crowding into England in such
numbers under the designation Of
German workmen; at the same time
those who have been already convict
ed in Germany often adopt an Eng
lish name so as to conceal their iden-
tity as far as Observation-Disclosures

Treasure in the Sea

An Italian company has been
formed to recover bullion sunk in
Vigo bay 200 years ago. 1t has found
one Of the old galleons at the very
outset of it's search, an anchor,
chain and some cannon having been
brought up as evidence. The salvors
have hopes of raising the vessel bod
lily and removing the contents at leis-
ure. Vigo, town in northwest Spain,
has figured at least four times in the
annals of English war In 1889, the
year after the invincible armada, Sir
Francis Drake and. Sir Ohm Norris
wound up an expedition to Portugal
by capturing Vigo, burning the city
and ravaging the country. 1t was in

accounts five galleons were among the
prizes, which had on board 100000
pieces of eight, besides merchandise
of equal value. Of the silver four

goods about five millions. Four mil
lions of plate were destroyed, with
ten of merchandise, and about two
millions in silver and five in goods
were brought away conformity by the
British and Dutch.

That adult mosquitoes live through
the winter is evident to all who have
seen and felt them on the first warm
days of early spring, says writer in
the Literary Digest. Now we are told
in addition that larvae and even the
egg of the insect may survive great
cold. Says writer in the Revue
Scientifque: r... . -.
1T is well known that mosquitoes
hibernate in the adult state; a certain
number Of these vexatious insects
PASS the winter in various retreats
in slaughter houses, granaries, cellars,
etc, and IN the spring they resume
active life and multiply their kind.
Hibernation, however, does not always
take place in the adult form only
the larvae can also pass the winter
with safety. This has been shown by
the observations Of John B. Smith
made during the winter of 1901-1902
and at the end Of 1902. The winter

Some Odd Ideas About Bees.

ooHe Ooo lucas 6nooS Docs. s
In old days the situation of bee
hive was matter of prime impor-
lance. It was to be placed always on
the south side of a stream or water
and never in place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious
to bees. A little gravel was to be put
down in the neighborhood of the
hives, as In windy weather the bees
needed small stones to carry about,
in their flight as counterpoises. The
beekeeper was recommended to shave
ard keep his head close-lTopped, long
hair on head or face being extremely
offensive to his charges, and in at.

He Could Preach.

In the early days of Methodism in the
West a circuit rider. if he had large field
to cover, was sometimes permitted to
! have colleague, who was frequently a
| young minister, and just beginning to
preach. The Rev. John Thompson was a
circuit rider in somewhat thnly settled
portion OF Illinois more than fifty years
ago. The colleague assigned to him was
Brother John Smith, an excellent young
man, but with very little experience as a
preacher.
One Sunday Mr. Thompson had an APP
pointment at a small meeting house in
the country, but having a severe cold he
asked his young assistant to 90 along
with him and preach the sermon, and the
latter, in duty bound, obeyed orders.
Brother Smith had never undertaken
to preach in the presence of his more ex-
psrienced co-laborer, and when, after the
opening services, he rose and gave out
his text, he was visibly embarrassed.
He stammered through few sentences,
hcsitated, made another effort, and came
to a dead stop.
whats the use, brethren ?" he said
sitting down, 81 can't preach"
Brother Thompson saw that the case
was one in which heroic measures were
necessary.
Young man." lie whispered sternl in
his ear, Won get up again and preach
that sermon or I'll take you opt in the
grove after this meeting is over and give
you hard spanking, as sure as your

ated quicker. Brother Smith rose to his
feet again, his hesitation all gone, and in
ringing tones he preached sermon that
is still remembered by aged survivors of
that old-time congregation as the most
fervid and eloquent discourse they ever
heard so young man deliver.
