A Real BURGLAR Proof Safe.

A curious modern invention is to
be seen by a favored few in the
Bank of England. 1t is claimed to
be an absolutely burglar proof safe,
because at night it is lowered into a
subvault of heavy masonry and con-
crete.
When the safe reaches the bottom
of the vault it is fastened down
by massive steel Tugs, operated by a
triple time lock. Until these Tugs
are released automatically at fixed
time no human agency can raise the
safe. AS for breaking through the
subvault and walls of stone and
concrete ten feet thick, even with
dynamite--well, the burglar must
shake his head sorrowfully and adj
nit that he has met his Waterloo in
that safe.-Boston Post.

THE BAROMETER.
II Hung Chang Found Il . DsIusIon
and q Snare.

and = Snare.
One day many years ago Lii Hung
Chang was making a journey from
Tientsin to Shanghai on a steamer
of his Chinese Mutual company.
Being of an inquiring disposition,
he asked many questions about the
machinery and the furnishings of
the ship. What interested him
most was the barometer, and Cap
tain Baker explained it with great
care and described the minutest de-
tails.
Several months after, when Cap
tain Barker arrived at Tientsin at
The end Of voyage, he was inform
ed at the steamship office that Earl
Lii wanted to see him ut the vice
roy's yamen. The captain, judging
from the experience of other men,
expected to receive a reward for
faithful service and, dressing him
self with care, took a rickshaw for
the residence of the greatest man in
China. Upon his arrival he was
shown into the reception room, and
pretty soon Ii Hung Chang made
his appearance, followed by a serv-
ant carrying a handsomely mounted
mahogany box. He put it on the
table, opened it and took out a
beautiful barometer, which had just
arrived from Paris. After Captain
Baker had admired the mechanism
Of the instrument Earl Lii turned to
him and said:
"NOw ] want you to show me
how YOU foretell events with this
thing
"You cannot foretell events with
a barometer" said Captain Baker in
surprise.
"You told me you could" retort-
ed Earl Ii.
81 never did anything of the
kind" exclaimed the astonished sea-
man. 81 told you that by compar-
ing the changes in the temperature
and direction of the wind with the
movements of this instrument we
could anticipate storm, but l did
not say anything about foretelling
events, because that is impossible"
The viceroy stared at the sailor
with establishment and exclaimed:
"IOu are an ignorant, incompe-
tent fellow. Don't you know that
the weather is the most uncertain
thing in the world? Other events
are governed by laws and arbitrary
conditions, from which the weather
is entirely free, and anybody who
can find out what the weather is go
ing to be ought to be able to foretell
ordinary events"
Then, with contemptuous mo-
ton, he dismissed Captain Baker
from his presence and never spoke
to him again.

INVOKING THE SPIRITS.
Queer Superstitions Of the vsddas Of
Ceylon.

S0ytoN.
DR.. C. G. Seligman, writing in
Travel and Exploration, throws
some interesting light on the beliefs
and superstitions of the Veddas, the
strange hill tribes and cave dwellers
of Ceylon: although there is no
clearly formulated idea of death
contagion, the rapidity with which
all Veddas leave the place where a
death has occurred and avoid it for
years shows that some evil quality
is associated with dissolution. Ac-
eording to most Veddas, the spirit
Of every dead man, woman or child
becomes 'yaka' plural 'yaku')
within a few days after death.
Some Veddas. however, say that
when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly and that a surviving part,
which becomes a yaka, exists only
in the case of especially strong, en-
ergetic or skilled men, who have
shown their strength of character
in this world or who have had the
power Of calling the yaku during
their lifetime.
"Sincc each Vedda community
consists Of small number of fami-
lies, usually related by blood and
marriage, the yaku of the recent
dead-called collectively the ne va
ku--are supposed to stand toward
the surviving members of the group
in the light of friends and relatives,
who, if well treated, will continue
their loving kindness to their sur
vivors, and only if neglected will
show their disgust and anger by
withdrawing their assistance or
even becoming actively hostile;
hence it is generally considered
necessary to present an offering to
the newly dead, usually within a
week or two of death. This offering
must consist of cooked rice and CO.
coanut milk, the food that every
Vcdda esteems above all other, but
betel leaves and areca nuts are often
added.
ON each community there is one
man, called 'kapurale,' or 'duggana-
wa who has the power and knowl-
edge requisite to call the yaku, and
this man calls upon the yaka of the
recently dead man to come and take
the offering. The yaka comes, and
the kapuralc becomes possessed by
the yaka Of the dead man, who
speaks through his mouth in hoarse,
cultural accents, stating that he ap-
proves the Offering and will assist
his kinfolk in hunting and often
definitely indicating the direction
in which the next hunting party
should 90. One or more OF the near
relatives may also become possessed.
Soon after the spirit leaves the
kapurale the rice is eaten by the as
sembled folk"

view of decisions by the courts respecting the method OF assessing
railroad main stem. The rule followed by the State assessors
since 1854 has been to assess the main stem at q much higher
valuation than the property Immediately adjoining it because OF
the earning power of the railroad property. In the case OF the
Susquehanna and Western Railroad against the State Board Of
Assessors, not long ago decided, the Judgment OF the Supreme
Court was that such assessments are in excess of the true market
value OF the lands and are illegal. Justice Garrison in another
decision laid down the rule that railroad property could not, by
reason OF its use, be assessed any higher than adjacent property
of the same character. Necessarily the valuation of the State
experts must be governed by these decisions. 1t was Justice
Garrison contention that the railroad company is assessed in the
franchise valuation for the use of the main stem, and that there
fore this value cannot be assessed and taxed a second time
The difference between the old main stem assessments and those
to be made at the market value only amounts to many millions of
dollars and it will not be extraordinary if by the findings Of the
States experts the railroad frstclass property assessment shall
be reduced to an extent to greatly curtail the public income from
railroad taxes.

AND THE
WANAQUE WATERSHED

for the right to acquire water rights and water in the Wanaque
watershed, which is largely located in passaic County, some
twenty-eight square miles being in New York. Newarkphobia hs
afflicted the press of Paterson for years and a proposition of this
character, presented in the sight of the Paterson newspapers, is
like waving a red flag before an obstreperous bull. The under
lying feeling is envy of a big and prosperous and enterprising
n~eighbor. The insensate opposition to a trunk sewer was in
spired by the cry that Newark would be the principal beneficiary
and had put up the job" Opposition to Newark's application
for the Kikeout watershed was that OF the dog in the manager.
Neither Paterson nor Passaic had nor has any idea of utilizing
that source of water supply. But we have given the Paterson
newspapers a fine provocation for new spasms of invective
against Newark and their editorial pages ought to be full OF lurid
rhetoric this week.
