Safe breaking Made Difficult.

An improvement which complexities
the breaking open of safes by explo-
sives has been devised recently.
This Improvement consists of an in
nor door of latticework made of metal
The openings or perforations are such
as to permit of the ready passage of
the gases generated by the explosion,
and the framework is therefore unaf-
fected by the discharge, no matter how
serious its effect may have been on the
outside door.
Thus in order to get at the contents
of the safe the burglar is compelled to
make his way through the second door,
AS rule. there is not time for that as
the thief is fearful that the explosion
may be the means of attracting atten-
ton to his operations. If, however, he
finds himself free from observation he
must undertake the task of breaking
through the second door, which cannot
be attacked by explosives, but must be
sawed, filed or drilled.

This is done by means of 4 large rotary
brush, which revOlves directly in front
of tie car wheels, Il gear on the brush
meshing with the gear on the car

trolley track. The theory possesses
undoubted merit, but its practical APP

WOMAN 10 TRAMP At. EIGHTY.

kansas City Cor. Chicago Journal.)
A tramp by choice, Mrs. Matilda
Morgan, showing every one her 80
years of age. fell into the hands Of
the police of Kansas City.
She carries a bundle of bedding and
a cooking outfit on her back and re-
sists the efforts of her relatives to
keep her at home In comfort. She
has a son, a well-to-do farmer, near
Trenton, Mo-, but periodically leaves
his place to wander across the coun-
try. She was convicted of vagrancy
in Kansas City and given "a hours to
leave town.
Mrs. Morgan has been following her
migratory habits many years, just be-
cause she likes them. Incidentally
she has accumulated a stock of juicy
explosives, which she uses when her
appeals for aims are refused, or on
other occasions which seem to her to
warrant strong language.
