BURGLARS STEAL PATROL
WAGON TO HAUL LOOT
Rob Police Station of Horses
and Vehicle

The police at the Potrero station
have been puzzled since Tuesday night
to account for the disappearance of
the patrol wagon and team. When a
call came for the wagon about 8
o'clock that night it was nowhere to
be found.
search was started and about 4
o'clock next morning the wagon and

The general impression is that bur
glars had taken possession of the rig
to carry away their loot while the
men on station duty were either asleep
or paying a visit to some friends.

voyage the risk was parceled out
among larger number Of the patrons
Of the coffee house.

Of Mirror.
PlatinizeL glass consists Of q piece Of
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of a liquid charged with plati-
mum and then raised to a red heat.
The platinum becomes united to the
glass In such a way as to form an odd
kind Of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency. and yet II one places it
against a wall and looks ut It he sees
his image as in IN ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side. as when It is placed in a window.
It appears perfectly transparent. like
ordinary glass.
BY constructing a window Of plati-
nized glass one could stand close behind
the panes In an unilluminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside. while passersby looking ut
the window would behold only q fine
mirror or set Of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained Invisible.
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid of this glass.
In one a person seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror approaches 1t
to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back. where
upon It instantly becomes transparent.
and the startled spectator finds him
self confronted by some grotesque fig
ure that had been hidden behind the
glass.-Harper's Weekly.
