The Romance OF AeIi,1n,

Another chapter has been added to
the romantic history of the sun ele-
ment' by the brief telegram to Prof.
Dewar from Prof. Kamerlingh Dimes
of Leyden announcing that the latter
has succeeded in converting helium
into a solid. Helium was first discov-
cred spectroscOpically in the sun
hence its namely Sir Norman Lock
yer during the total solar eclipse of
1865, the first eclipse at which as
tronomers had the spectroscope at
their disposal. Its existence on the
earth was unknown until 1895, when
Sir William Ramsey found its distinc-
tive yellow line in the spectrum of
cleveiie, and quite recently 1t has been
found associated with radium, which
may possibly prove to be made up Of
helium and lead. Owing to the intense
cold required, all previous attempts
10 solidify helium have failed. though
Prof Dewar reached 436 degrees
Fahrenheit Of frost in his LIQUID air
and frozen hydrogen experiments. 1t
is probable Prof. Dimes has reached
the absolute Zero-45O degrees Fahren-
heit OF frost-to succeed in freezing
helium.

BLESSINGS on New BUILDINGS.

1t is custom in Russia to open all
new buildings and institutions. public
or private, with a religious dedication
Even the proprietary builder of a
small cottage or workshop who can
not afford to pay for the attendance
of priest to bless and sprinkle with
holy water a new structure always
hoists wooden cross, nailed 10 the
topmost pole in the scafolding. as his
dwelling or workshop approaches com
pletion, symbolic of an appeal for
Gods blessing upon the new premises.
This custom appeared somewhat in
congruous on the establishment Of the
government liquor monopoly. when
every vodka store was solemuly
opened with a religious ceremony

CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
TO Outwit Them Detectives Must
Make Use Of Modern Methods.

The methods employed by criminals

come scientific. The criminal of to-
day handles ohloroform. opium.
morphia, with all the cIeverness of a
physician.
Again, the tools used by the modern
jail bird are unrivaled masterpieces.
one amazing proof Of the scientific
knowledge of the modern criminal and
MS keenness in keeping abreast OF
modern discoveries lies in the follow
ing fact: Recently in Marseilles the
huge safe of a bank was RAPIDLY
opened by means of a complicated ap-
paratus which had only been invented
by prominent engineer ten months
previously

ly in cases of forgery, for instance, a
drop OF water was placed on the
forged words. If the paper had been
scratched and its size removed the
water was Immediately sucked in: II
the paper had not been scratched the
drop remained for awhile on the top.
mis- process was primitive and spoiled
the document
Nowadays the suspicious paper is
photographed and on the proof the
marks of scratching are easily detect
ed by clear differences In the color.
photography is used also in the case
OF forgeries made by means of chem
icals.
When a heap of burned documents
is found in the fireplace thin sheets of
glass are inserted between the burned
papers. AS soon as one sheet is on the
glass 1t is rendered less brittle by
means of a special liquid and it Is
unfolded and photographed. The
process is repeated with every sheet.
and after a few hours all the docu-
ments are easily read.
A process formerly used for the
classification of blood stains consist
ed in examining them under the mi
croscope and from the appearance Of
the red globules the investigators
would draw their conclusions as to the
nature of the blood. Unfortunately
this examination gave no result when
the blood stains were not recent
To-day more scientific method is
used. The stain is washed: a few
drops of the water used are poured
into a tube containing some specific
serum from rabbit inoculated with
human blood. When the addition of
water produces in the serum a fine de-
post and gives a misty appearance
to the liquid one can be perfectly GER
tain that the blood stains were human.

The Durms glanced at each other
exultingly.

l come tomorrow night"
The next night Frederika again
stealthily slipped in with fresh papers
containing another days outgoings
and intakings. Again Onkei Carl de-
voured an impense supper and again
the huge pitcher of beer stood be
side him. He calculated awhile and
then announced:
The figures tonight show this man
money makes"
How was it that the figures should
so different be from last night"
growled Herr Durm.
"Sapristi," exclaimed Opkel Carl
that was the mystery OF figures. Per
haps you Herr Strumpff, the Hamburg
merchant. remember? One year the
hgures in his books showed that he
was rich. He owned a carriage and
his family went to the Baths. The
next year the same figures out of the
same books showed that he bankrupt
was"
Onkel Carl drained the pitcher and
left the Durms depressed and disap-
pointed.
For ten days Onkel Carl came reg
ularly supper devouring and beer i'm
oibing. One night his calculations
would point to the speedy ruin of
Holman another to his prosperity.
Onkel Carl admitted the unsatisfac-
tory result but limited that one would
be obliged TO strike an average of
many calculations before a definite
proof of the profit or loss of Hoff-
mans business could be obtained
As Onkel Carls depredations AT
supper and his Gargantuan thirst had
not been unnoted by the Durms and
they shuddered at the prospect of a
long continuance of such expensive
calculations. Another disturbing ele-
ment was the detection of Frederika.s
interest. She did not come each night
and on such nights Onkel Carl merely
ate and drank and did nothing else.
On the eleventh morning the Durms
mad a conference behind their bar
and the expression on their counter
ances evidenced that they had decided
upon some important move. With the
night came Onkel Carl but he saw
no prospect of supper nor did the
great pitcher filled with beer greet
MS thirsty eyes. He stared and sat
down. Presently a light step was
heard and the kitchen door latch
clicked. Frederika came in. her first
appearance for two nights. She shvlv
handed bunch Of papers to her aunt.
Frau Durm took the papers and
without looking at them cast the
punch into the stove

firmly. We give a lunch from now

American pictures than the fasteners.

Moscow's Many Beaqars.

OF the beggars so characteristic of
Russia's ancient capital writer
says: THE old city of Moscow could
not easily be disassociated from the
$4,000 beggars who haunt it's snowy
streets. The city belongs to them;
if the city rats own the drains, they
own the streets. They are part of the
city, they are in perfect harmony with
1t; take away the beggars and you
destroy something vital. Some are so
old and weather battered that they
make the Kremlin itself look older,
and Of those who lie at the monastery
doors some are so fearfully pitiable
in their decreptitude that they lend
power to the churches"
