of one of his instruments. It seemed absurdly simple--a plate with a hole in its center; an arc-iight carbon con- nected with an end of wire in an in suldted handle. and a pair of dark eye glasses to protect the eyes from the terrific flash of the Voltaic arc.
 When the premises were wired with electric lighting he would go behind the meter and prolong the two wires, one to contact with the safe door and the other to his carbon-point instru- ment. Then, sticking the carbon through the hole in the plate for a shield, he had only to complete the contact and get a heat of 5000 degrees centigrade on given point of the safe door. If you remember that steel melts at 1.500 degrees centigrade you will understand how he could melt holes in it as a lump of butter. So he would go on making a series of small holes, then holes between holes, and so on. till the metallic center could be wrench ed from its jagged circumference. It was the same when he employed ther- init, German soldering product that gives out an enormous heat, but more and more of late the clean-cut edges of his holes led to the belief that this ill-directed genius actually forstalled in his criminal practice the most sen- sational invention of the present year.

 Suppose it is desired to make a man hole in six-inch boilerplate. By or dinary methods it would take a days work. This machines does it in just four minutes.

The spot is bather in oxygen and becomes so com bustible that the same thin high-pres- sure jet of oxygen goes right through the thick steel plate-and you see it coming out the other side. driving a thousand little sparks like Japanese parlor fireworks.

and the contents taken. Sometimes the aperture would have a jagged circum- ference. as if the steel had been melted like butter, at other times it had a neat clean edge. as if made by some nnimaginable cutting instrument. The rest remained a mystery.
 Now, whenever mystery gets too thick in Paris the police call in cu- rfous character. in no way detective. but a cranky, studious statistician and classiier He may fail utterly, because Ais speciality is limited, but on the oth- CT hand he may bring of a wizardlike success.

 Once he did 1t with me. 'Waite' he said. as I was leaving. From a box he took a pinch of white powder. Bend ing over a leather-covered desk beside which I had sat. he delicately dusted fl over a small surface. Then another pinch; and another. Between times he eazed at the rusted spots through big rnagnifyfng glass. Then. finally, he said: There is your right-hand thumb print; there a middle-finger print; there--yes--the first finger print. You are of the Flo family"
 He is a specialist of the comparative measurement and classification of law nreakers: but he is also very much a specialist of their finger prints-be- cause no two men in the world have fhe same finger prints. Therefore when, three months ago, they called him In fo study a hole in the burglar-proof aafe of a Paris notary, the first thing he asked for was fash-light photo graphs of the safe front and four walls of the room They had been taken be- fore anyone had touched an object-a practice becoming common, for the sake of precious reference documents These photographs he studied with his mOwerful "loupe." or magnifying glass; and only afterward he visited the prem aees He stayed upon the scene an hour. He cut a piece of window-gl and took 1t with him. Then he photo graphed two spots on the safe door and the back of a chair, and door handle and some other things. And 8len he studied three days in his office from enIargements of those photo sxrauhs-after which time he gave the police the name and description of a man.

 I figured it out There seemed to be 256 such possible combinations"
 Divide that number into the 90,000 male adults, and you will already have narrowed down the investigation to an average of $50 parties who are likely to be Messieurs Eeuo.'"
 You had only to examine $50 cards?"
 T do not know how many they ex- amine-that calculation gave rough average. And there are the subtypes. The employees brought me the more likely cards as they found them. But the third day there came one that in stantly struck me The thumb print has a peculiarity that corresponded strikingly with the magnified thumb print from the window glass. Here, look at its central points. See where the innermost loop points up. Then jump two lines to the northwest (were 1t map) and you see very distinct little fork@"
 You can see 1t for yourself. And if you seek you can see many other. And so on, the expert com pared the prints from the glass with the prints on the anthropometric card.
 There soon was no doubt he con- cluded. NO two men in the world could have that ensemble of identities, and no contradictions. The burglar who had made the print on the window glass could be no other than the sub feet of this card. It was Leons card. That is how the police came to hunt Leon, and when they found him. they found the safemelter with him. ."

Chicago Record Herald.
 A hard headed scientific party Is now meditating in a Paris prison. Up to yesterday he had bad celebrity; yet he remained unknown. Today he G known; yet his past remains mys- tery. For Ave years the police of Eu- rope sought him vainiy as the enigmat- teal safe-melter of Paris; and. caught at last by no fault of his own, he re- grets that he ever took partner. Though he was wanted in most of the European cities, 1t was in Paris that he first made himself famous; and pe- riodicaIiy Paris was sure to have some new proof of his attentions-another fireproof safe with a hole burned in tt.
 So he was imagined to be an Ameri- can. Tales of the American burglars use of the electric furnace" had come vaguely to Parisians. though such as had seen Moisson's apparatus mak- ing dynamos at the exposition of 1900 could not imagine the cumbersome thing being fugged around in kit What they perceived was a hole in the doors of their best chrome-steel safes: an arm had been inserted, the bolts shot back, the door swung open
