AN INGENIOUS LOCK.

Made In New York For an Eccentric
Potentate In India.
A lock for which New York lock-
maker not long ago received an order
taxed the ingenuity Of all the experts
In his establishment 1t is a point OF
honor with the house, well known
throughout the world. that no order
however Ingenious, shall battle the IN
ventive faculty of the designers or the
technical skill Of the workmen. What
ever customer wants he must have
The order in question came all the
way from rajah in India. After IL,
manner of dusky pOtentates. he suf-
fered from the dual possession of dis
honest servants and magnificent dia-
monds. The diamonds had been dis
appearing at an alarming rate. and.
though only seven servants had access
to the box containing the gems. it had
been impossible to discover the culprit.
Whether the rajah dismissed his ret
fnue or put them to death OH suspi-
cion. the thefts regularly continued.
In his extremity he heard Of the
New York house. An American would
have contented himself with procuring
a safe the lock Of which would an
swer to no key but his own. But the
rajah desired something more. He
wanted not simply to preserve his
jewels. but to catch the thief. His Or
der was for safe fitted with eight
different keys. one for each OF his
servants and one for himself. A piece
Of glass about eight inches square was
to be let into the front of the safe
The lock must be so constructed that
upon the opening Of the safe by any
particular key the photograph of the
opener should appear Immediately in
front Of the glass. to remain there till
another key was inserted. Thus 1t
would always be possible to tell who
had last opened the safe.
The clumsy ingenuity of the idea
made 1t difficult enc to realize But
in short time an apparatus was de-
signed which would contain the seven
photographs. This was fastened In
side the safe and made to communicate
with the lock. By clever mechanical
device the key Of each servant as 1t
turned the lock brought the photo
graph into yiew.-New York Tribune.

London's Biz Directory.

London keeps Oh growing, and so
does its directory. the 1908 edition Of
which recently made it's appearance
The London postofilce directory, It is
claimed. is the biggest book published.
This one hundred and ninth edition
of 1t weighs thirteen and quarter
pounds. is eight inches thick and con-
tains 4,G08 pages. One wonders how
much longer twill be possible for
the publishers to keep pace with the
increase Of the population Of the me-
tropolis and confine the record Of 1t to
single volume.

cost is returned to him in increased
profits. Not the purchaser, for he
buys cheaper from the advertiser and
has better assortment and tresher
goods to select from. Who, then,
really pays the advertising bills2 The
non-advertiser, of course. A just pro-
portion of the money he loses by his
lack Of initiative and enterprise finds
its way eventually to the printer, to
advance the cause Of education and
the interests of the community. Who
pays for that advertising which attracts
the people of this town to other towns2
The home merchant not only loses
that trade, out in that loss pays for
the other fellows advertising.

very discouraging to have lawn torn
