THIEVES TURN on THE LIGHT.
BY Mistake at a Hospital Switchboard
they Arouse an Inmate.

Three burglars entered St. Mary's Hos
pital in Jamaica, L. l., early yesterday
morning and made an attempt TO rob the
chapel where valuable gold vessels are kept.
They entered through the cellar, and in an
upper corridor, noticing that the electric
lights were turned on, one OF them went
to the switchboard and attempted to turn
them on. BY mist AXE he switched on all
the lights in the building.
This attracted the attention Of a sister,
who notified Dr. Rorke that something was
wrong. Rorke called up the police and
then started a tour Of investigation. On
his approach the burglars ran out Of the
building and we're chased for some distance
by the doctor and the police.

Does Sugar Make SGrengfh /?

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and strength
of the modern maiden, who has most
certainly grown uncOmmonly tall and
proportionately muscular during the
past few years, says an English writer.
1t cannot be that outdoor sports, gym
nastic exercise and so on, have
stretched her out and made her as
strong as she is, because her brothers
have had precisely the same advant-
ages, and they have not developed at
the same rate. 1t seems to me, there
fore, that the secret lies in the fact,
that Of recent years girls have become
far greater consumers of sweetmeats
than ever were their mothers and
Grandmothers.
Time was when we should never
have dreamt of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
It would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And,
what is more, women are not merely
content to eat swcetmeats at our meals,
but they consume them at all times and
In all places between meals. 1t was re-

known as poker. On top of these re-

that Datto Grande. one OF the leading

this game and their estimation of their

his carabaos, wives and raiment, since,
it appears, his opponent had never been
taught how to play, but had relied upon
his untutored skill and the devices
known only to the Moros. The next
thing we may expect to learn will be
that this willy Moro "Ah Sing" has

of all of Mr.. Smiths cast-On clothing.
Many Of the coats, vests and trousers,

them day in and day out, rain or shine,
and If apparently soiled little clean

Astronomers and scientists In gen

modest announcement ma6e by Pro-
fessor Percival Lowell and his
associates at the Lowell Observatory
in Arizona recently that after several
partial successes and some complete
failures the greater canals Of the
planet Mars had at last been photo
graphed.
Hitherto the general public has been
compelled to accept or to reject the
existence Of the Marian canals on the
word of the starsazing fraternity. But
with the accomplishment Of the Har'
ward observers in Arizona everyone
will now have an opportunity to see
the actual photographs In proof OF
what has long been considered a. more
or less of a theory.

taken of the canals some weeks ago
