UNCLE IKE's HOT SPELL.

Quite positive says he:

The general public has little idea OF
the well-organized plans in operation In
nearly all large city retail stores TO
check thievery, says the head detect
i've in one of the largest dry goods es-
Establishments. By the systematic pros
ecution of thieves the losses do not
amount to one-third Of what they did
three years ago.
Every large retail department store
in New York and Chicago has its regu-
larly organized staff Of detectives whose
duty it is to detect dishonesty in al
most every form inside the store, while
many establishments have force Of
detectives who watch for thieves who
may seek to rob the establishments
delivery wagons when out on their
tours. Part of this force are men and
part women. The employment of wom-
en- in this capacity is absolutely neces-
sary, for women can do excellent work
where men would be worse than use
less For instance, if male detective
should be seen in the crowd at bar
gain sale or at q counter where an I'M
usually large number Of women were
congregated, the suspicious Of any wom-
an shoplifter in the crowd would be inn
mediately aroused and she would trans

would make a chronic thief Of her by
reason of the fact that she has been
arrested and badly scared by threat of
prosecution and Imprisonment, but
whose plea Of kleptomania has been
accepted for the reason that it has
been her first cffense.
I'm watching suspicious persons and
detecting thieves, secret signals and
words are employed that to the unsus-
picious person., or even to the shop
lifters, have no particular meaning, but
which are well understood between the
store detectives. foorwalkers and sales
men and saleswomen. Primarily, per-
sons against whom there seems to be
reason for suspicion are quickly sized
up by the store employe with whom
they come in contact.
"Of course, many shoplifters study
to disarm suspicion both by their gen.
eral appearance and manner of adj
dress. They exhibit no nervousness
keep a keen watch of all that is go
ing on near them, and, possessing plen-
ty of nerve and self-confidence, per-
form the theft at the most opportune
moment, taking care to make no false
move.
Many shoppers carry suit cases, as
do hundreds of honest shoppers, and
on taking their place at counter leave
the suit case partly open at their feet,
so that articles may be quietly dropped
therein when the salesperson is not
looking. A small purchase being made,
it is openly placed in the suit case and
the shoplifter moves away. Other shop
filters carry folded newspaper in one
hand, and while the saleSwOman's at
tention is diverted, slip some article
between it's folds
"When suspicion is directed against
shopper by a salesperson, the fact
is quietly conveyed to one of the de-
tectives, who approaches seemingly as
if wishing to look at some object with
the intention of purchasing it. When
it is shown the detective makes some
objection to it, whereupon the sales
person moves few feet away, appar-
entity for the purpose Of showing anoth-
er article Of the kind wanted. This
gives the opportunity to speak few
words of explanation
Signals are sometimes given to
salespersons by detectives when they
have reason to be suspicious of shop
per who is being waited upon at the
time. Again, words of seemingly no i'm
portance are used by the salespersons
to inform a detective or fOOrwalker
that shopper has been detected in the
act of stealing.
when possible the shoplifter is led
to the private office or room where
persons under suspicion are ques-
toned and searched. Once inside, one
of the male and one of the female de-
tectives are summoned, and the thief
informed she must submit to be search
ed by the female detective, the floor
walker and the male detective waiting

lust outside the door. If the shoplifter
objects. which she seldom does, know
ing that the game is up, the police de-
partment is notified by telephone, and
city detective sent to the store, when
the thief is placed under arrest, taken
ont of the place as quietly as possible
and removed to police station, where
she is searched by the police matron,
and a charge Of theft made against
her. The experienced shoplifter usually
seeks TO make as little disturbance as
possible when caught, relying upon
ouieter methods of getting out OF her
dilemma.

shower of Fish In Australia.

In a communication to the Royal So
ciety Of Queensland, Douglas Ogilby re-
cords the occurrence of shower OF
fishes which fell in Brisbane during
severe hailstorm on Oct. last.
They were identified as the species
known as the trout gudgeon (krefftius
adspersus) Such showers Of small fish
are not unknown in other parts Of the
world. Sometimes after heavy rain
they are found swimming about In the
pools formed on the surface or the
fields
The explanation is that the waters
Of pond or lake have been drawn up
into the clouds by a whirlwind, carry
ing some of the smaller fry with them.
The latter, of course, promptly descend
again in the rain.-London Globe.

Camping Strategists.

A we'll known clubman in New York
likes nothing better than to hunt big
game" in British Columbia. During his
last expedition to that region he was in
camp with friend from Minnesota. To
ward morning, says the New Yorker, he
awoke shivering with the cold. The fire
asleep.
1t isn't nice to get out of warm
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire:
so the willy New Yorker gave his friend
a kick and then pretended to be asleep.
There was no response, and presently
the man from New York tried another
kick.
At this the westerner broke into a
laugh. II did the same thing to you
twenty minutes ago!' he exclaimed,
''and that's how you came to be awake"
Then. of course, both turned out to

BRINGS PINcHING BUGS.

British Steamship Weary of Battle
with Irrepressib1e Pests.
Bombay pinching bugs invaded an
Eveless Eden when they climbed
aboard the British freight steamship
Strathairly at Bombay on July IL, says
the New York Herald. To use the
words Of the Strathairly's second otfi-
Ger, Mr.. Kelso, 1t was pinch all the
way over, and the ship came into this
port yesterday literally on a pinch as
well. The pinching bugs of Bombay
have habit of biting hard, and for
almost 80 days the sailors on the
Strathairly kept up continuous fight
against the little pests.
Visitors to the Strathairly came off
the ship with one or more Of the bugs
clinging to their clothes. If the visitor
did not watch out for them the bugs
would by easy stages reach the face
Of their victim and then-the pinch
ing kiss.
Robert van Fossholler, a Transvaal
sailor on board the ship, thought he
had remedy for the bug plague in a
liquid connection with which he liber-
ally sprinkled the focs'le quarters. He
drove out the bugs and the other men
Of the crew as WELL Then Balm,
Frenchman, the ships chef, produced
bug powder that was warranted to
kill any bug alive. 1t blew great mon
soons the day after the powder had
been sprinkled over the ship, and as
result every particle of food not down
in the stores was made useless.
Captain Herne, Mr.. Duncan, chief of
ficer, and the second saw no humor In
the situation Of the distinguishing
bug plague, and in this view they were
backed up by the crew. Then the
Suez canal was passed through. and
the bugs continued to multiply. There
was a council Of war, and it was de-
cided to ask for advice at Algiers. In
Algiers the commandante, or whatever
that officials title was, came aboard
and investigated and departed with a
dozen samples of the Bombay bug
clinging to his robes.
At quarantine DR.. Doty disinfected
the steamer according to the rules gov
erning ships arriving from far east
ern ports. Everything in the way of
microbes and germs aboard was official
ly disposed of-except the kissing bugs.
They remained as stowaways, and con-
tinued with the Strathairly to the Bush
docks, where they pronienaded ashore
in pairs and quartets, and visited the
Offices on the piers.
