HOUSE THAT is BURGLAR PROOF

r ROM a burglars point of view
probably the most remarkable
house in the world is the Morosinl
mansion at Riverdale, N. Y. Many of
the handsome places in that neighbor-
hood had been entered successfully
by the light-fingered gentry, Mr.. Moro
sinis among the number. Determining
to make himself immune from such at
tacks he called a well known electri-
clan into his service, and the result is
a house which is burglar-proof.
The same electric plant which heats
and lights the house Is used to operate
the electric currents which guard the
house, so the cost, Independent of the
first outlay, was trihlng. Electric
wires connect every door and window
i'm the house, and when the current is
turned on no entrance can be made
without both house and grounds be-
coming instantly illuminated by 500
electric bulbs.
When these lights blaze out a set of
deep-toned bells in the north tower
send out a babel of sounds which can
be heard distance of several miles.
Gongs also clang in the servants
quarters and in Mr.. Morosini's sleeping
apartment None of the doors or win
dows are locked. Should a burglar
knowing these safeguards, try % avoid
them by cutting through a pane OF
glass, the result would be the same
The windows are formed of loaded
panes, and in these leads the wires
are hidden. A test of the system is
made once a week to make sure that
it is in working order.

ALLIGATOR FARMING

IT is reported that several French
dealers have recently visited Amer
\ lea to purchase stock for an alliga-
tor farm which they purpose starting in
the south of France. Alligator skin has
become so highly priced throughout
France that the animal dealers believe
it will pay well to raise the alligators
on this, the first farm of it's kind in the
world. Not long ago President Loubet
received a present Of a hunting suit
of alligator skin. This is said to be
growing scarcer yearly. and there is
always a big demand for it for boots,
shoes, handbags, writing pads, port
folios and toilet articles.

ORIGINAL ASTOR HOTEL

r EW people who witness the mag
nificence and luxury displayed IN
the Hotel ST. Regis and the new
Astor hotel or the Waldorf, in New
York, are aware of the fact that the
original Astor house is still standing
and in use as hotel on Mackinac
island, Mich. The frame structure,
built more than a century ago by John
Jacob Astor, was originally the head
company. John Jacob Astor personally
supervised it's erection, making several
journeys from Montreal for that es-
pecial purpose. The old hosiery, with
its whitewashed walls, low raftered

to learn that the old fashioned method
of finding water by means of forked
stick has not gone out of use before
the scientific experts, engineers and
analysts. A recent exhibition of this
was given in England by a Mr. Thomp-
son, who is farmer and breeder of
sheep on a large scale. With a large
party of the experts who use more
scientific methods for finding water
he entered a large field holding the
forked stick in his hands. They walked
up and down the grounds, but were
soon led to an adjoining field, where
the twig seemed to pull the operator
about. After time he was so power
fully affected that he was obliged to
release the stick and rest. When he
again took it in his hands it drew him
TO a spot where he said water would
be found at depth of fifty feet, and
a full supply at ninety or 100 feet. This
was found to be fact to the great
amazement of the scientists.

WHY HEAT REDDENs THE FACE

HE effect of radiated heat on
the nerves which control the
small blood vessels of the skin
makes the face flush. These tiny
vessels, which are normally in state
of moderate contraction, under expos
ure to the heat relax and become dis
tended with blood. In regard to ex-
posure to direct heat the reddening of
the skin, together with the uncom-
fortably warm feeling accompanying it,
may be looked upon as one of the use
full little danger signals by which we
are surrounded.
When from any cause a person has
lost this susceptibility, as in some
forms of paralysis, he may expose
limb to heat until serious injury re-
suits. The face fiushes when near the
fire because it is directly exposed to the
rays of heat, while most of the body is
protected by the clothing. Besides, the
nerves of the face are particularly SEN
sitive and the skin there is most abund-
antly supplied with blood vessels.

ENTERING DIAMOND MINE

TT is quite the thing in svisiting the
gold mines of the west to don suit
able clothes for the trip and go into
the mines. Many notable persons have
done that, and there is in existence a
photograph of General Grant and some
members of his family who made such
an excursion. Visiting diamond mine
a person receives much the same sensa--
tion, for in the depths one realizes that
he is probably surrounded by untold
wealth. The diamond mines of KIM
berley, where this picture was taken,
are the largest in the world and the
company that operates them practical
ly controls the worlds output.
Diggings are of two kinds, wet and
