A Fan rs a Warming Pan.

If one can believe the American
Electrician-and its authority is high
the electric fan that is used to keep
one cool during the summer a also
be used advantageously to heighten the
temperature of a oom during the win
ter, where the steam radiator is either
too small or the steam pressure too
low to maintain a comfortable temper
ature. "Place the fam" says the Elec-
trician, $50 that the current of air Will
blow against a large surface of the ra-
diator,, and in a very short while the
room is changed from cold to warm
The production of that effect in that
way is very hard to understand, and,
therefore, not easy to believe. but the
Electrician ought to know what it IS
talking about, and the experiment Is
one easy to try.

ROBBERS MAKE ZIG HAUL
Banking Company of Genoa, Ohio,
Robbed.
Fifty-two Thousand Dollars Taken From
Vaults Burglars Escape in Buggy
and Hand Car.

Fremont, Ohio.-Three men blew up
the vault Of the Genoa Banking Com
pany, Of Genoa. early in the morning,
escaping after the crime in a buggy
which they had stolen.
Posses went in pursuit Of the rob.
bers and the sheriffs Of the surrounding
districts were notified. Plumber amount.
ingto $4,000, of which $4,000 was in
cash and $4,000 in negotiable paper,
was obtained.
The raid on the bank was made a
little while before dawn. Several
strangers have been noticed in the
town lately, and it is believed they
were looking over the bank and getting
the lay Of the land.
A.heavy explosion awoke several per-
sons living near the bank, and many
dressed hurriedly and ran out to inves-
tigate. The first man to reach the bank
saw two men in a buggy. AS he ap-
preached one Of them levelled a re-
volver at him and fired, the shot going
wide. He saw q third man run out of
the bank and leap into the vehicle. The
horse was lashed into a gallop and the
robbers quickly disappeared. .
On eXa mination it was found that
entry to the bank had been forced with
jimmies. A charge Of nitro-glycerine
was used to open the vault. The job
was clean and workmanlike and had
evidently been done by experienced
men. 80.
The vault door was badly wrecked.
The interior had been rifed, but a large
sum in bills had been overlooked.
The robbers with great GOODNESS had
broken into a barn nearby and har.
messed and taken out a horse and
buggy. Apparently one. man had at
busy in the bank.
A posse of men armed with rifles
and shotguns was hurriedly formed and
pursuit began along the road taken by
the robbers. The pursuing force was
loaded into three wagons.
The trail led to the railroad, where
the abandoned buggy, with the horse
exhausted and dripping with sweat,
was found. A handcar was missing
from a switch at that point. In all
probability the escape was carefully
planned, and the handcar placed there
during the night, before the gang
started for the bank.
The handcar was found later In the
day, the robbers having abandoned it
and started across country, in all prob
ability, after first dividing the plumber
and dispensing.

Calcutta, India.-The deaths from the

Statistics show that in 1903 the NOR
tality in India from the bubonic plague
was 10000. The latest number of
deaths reported, quoted above, while
extra ordinary, is not unprecedented.
The infection recently spread in Bur

This season of the year always favors
its spread.
The Indian Government is making
every effort to eradicate it, destroying
by fire whole sections Of town and
segregating the inhabitants. But ow-
ing to the climate and the sanitary con-
dition of the outlying districts and ma
tive sections of the towns, it is difficult
to cope with the epidemic, which
breaks out continually at fresh points.
