Thomas Gray, author of the 4Elegy,"
had a weakness In the form Of a nerv-
Gus dread of fire. His chamber at ST.
Peters college, Cambridge, being on
the second floor, lie thought it likely
that in case of a fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut off. He therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside of his vim
dow designing BY q rope attached
thereto to descend In the event Of a
flre occurring, This excessive caution
led to a practical joke by his fellows.

Birth Of Aerenauties.

1t was on Aug. /, 1857, that the
seotchman Black of Edinburgh filled
u little bag with hydrogen gas and
watched 1t rise to the ceiling of his
ROOM. and it was right then and there
that the science of a~erenauties was
born. Cavendish had only a little
while before proved that hydrogen gas
was about eleven times lighter than
common air, and 1t occurred to Black
That such being the case. a light bag
inflated with 1t would ascend. The
experiment In his room IN Edinburgh
showed that his surmise was correct.
1t was not long after Black made
his demonstration that Montpelier

and watched it careening through
pace, and the following year. 1888.

MANY CITIES
WANT THE MEN
Police Say Error of Bank
Started the Forgers.

New York, Nov. e-The police ara
holding the three men arrested hers
charged with having obtained aboul
half a million dollars pending an in
vestigatton. The three are wanted In
twenty cities and will not be tried here
If some other city can present 0
stronger case against them. The pris
oners are Charles earliest, Louis L
s~chutzbsrger and Isidor Weiss.
1t was a mistake of a ~bookkeeper In
a Newark bank that gave Schutzber-
ger and Isidor Weiss their first tip as
to how easily cash could be tricked
OFT of the banks, according to the sto'
ny of a headquarters detective. That
was In 1906. sehutzberger's mother
having died and his father having re-
linquished his saloon at ZIG Columbus
street and returned to Russia, Schultz
berger and Weiss went over to New
ark and started a cigar store at liz
Springfield avenue. In those days
they were using their w honest
names.
One day late In 1905 Schutzberger
found that the bookkeeper who had
! balanced his passbook at the Union
National bank had credited him with
S975 too much. Before the bank could
learn of the error the cigar store was
closed and Schutzberger and Weiss
had vanished.
Presently the elder Schutzberger
came back from Russia and announced
to east side friends that his boy was
dead. Dead he remained to his rela-
tives and former crontes until the ar
rests of Tuesday night brought him
to life amid a flock Of aliases. The
saddest part of 1t all from the stand
point of the Newark bank is that that
institution is on the list of those sup
posed to have been swindled by the
trio In 1908, two years after the book
keeper inadvertently started the young
-tobacconists on a criminal career.
The police are 10 clearer to an in
sight into the methods by which the
checks of many banks were duplicated
sand forged. schutzberger and Weiss,
who have confessed a good deal, pre-
fessed to know nothing about the ae-
tual forging of the paper which they
passed. earliest, the leader, who Is
credited with being a shrewder man
than the others, has said nothing. The
tale of an artist so skillful with brush
and india ink that he was able to man
ufacture checks which banks certified
without looking twice remains merely
a tale.
The Pinkertons say that non OF the
checks which have come to light-they
total S217, 900 = ever saw a printing
press. Three OF them were done In
pen and ink, several with q cancels
hair brush and ink and the rest were
made by a gelatin method Of transfer
ence.
The specific charge Is that the three
prisoners passed forged checks for 500
on the Hanover National bank dated
May "a. 1900, signed Eugene Mayer
& Company and payable to "a. Eel
ler.''

KNOX PLEADS FOR TREATIES
In Speech at Cincinnati Secretary De-
fends Arbitration.

In Spesch at Cincinnati Secretary De-
tends Arbitration.
Cincinnati, Nov. 8. - Secretary OF
State Knox delivered a speech here in
support of the general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
now pending for ratification before the
United States senate.
Secretary Knox's speech was the adj
ministration,s formal answer to the re-
port made by the majority of the sem
ate committee on foreign relations
against the treaties. Secretary Knox.
In his speech commended that the trea-
ties as presented by the administration,
do not deprive the senate Of any of its
constitutional rights. He declared that
there was no danger of the Monroe
doctrine becoming involved In arbitra-
ton; that no nation putting itself in
the attitude Of deliberately violating.
that doctrine could expect to find in
the treaty terms of protection against
the consequences of such an act.n
He made further objections adyanc-
ed by the senate committee, with the
statement that the questions of immi-
grafton and territorial integrity also
would be beyond the scope of the
treaty.

LOOK UP LAW
ON The CASE
Parole Jacob BeIafskie on
Short Weight Charge.

Jacob Balafskie, q huckster, of
Seaman street, was tried before Re-
corder Henry w. Kehoe last night
on a charge of having In his possess
sion a scale that gave eight ounces
short weight In a pound and was
allowed to go until the court look
ed up the law on the subject. Hem
~ loft, the sealer of weights and
measures of this city, was the COM
plainant. He charged that he found
Balafskie with a spring balance
scale that gave short weight in his
possession at the open market last
Friday. Balafskie admitted having
the scale in his possession, but said
he did not notice 1t was out of adj
justment and declared he did not
use it.
AS the act concerning weights
an measures provides that a per-
son shall be found guilty whether
or not he uses a short weight scale
so long as he has it in his possess
sion, Ba1afskie is liable to pay a fine
of SIS. The instrument he used was
of the variety with a weighing plate
at the top and a dial underneath,
adjustable with a thumb screw in
the rear. When Sealer loft saw the
scale at Falafskie's stand last week,
be claims the pointer was ON 8 OF.
Thus, If any goods had been sold
by 1t and the indicator had been
caused to point at. / poun, the pur-
chaser would only have received
half a pound.
Articles of the weights and mea-
eures act set firth in the ~c0mplaint
stated that where a discrepancy IA
a scale was not easily to be Q by
Its owner, the sealer should give
two days notice to rectify the same,
but where a discrepancy was easily
to be seen, rs was claimed by the
sealer in this case, the owner be-.
comes liable to a fine of SIS and such
additional costs as may occur.

The amusing mistake once made By
two Abyssinian delegates of the EN-.
peror Menelek to France Is narrated
by the Paris Gaulois. Awed by the
splendor of his gold lace uniform and
the solemnity Of his imposing mani
ner, they mistook the usher at the
door Of the foreign minister's office
for N, de Selves himself. AS they
We're brought into the anteroom the
usher was standing with his hands on
the door handle ready to announce
them But at the sight of his silver
chain his medals, his sword, his gold
topped cane and his three cornered
hat the Abyssinians could not be ex-
pected to know they were in the pres
enee Of a mere servant. So bowling
low repeatedly, they approached him
slowly and With great respect until
they were within reach OF his coattails,
which, n on either side, they seized
II their hands and kissed. The usher
did moi know what to do, but the ,ap
pearanee Of the minister relieved the
situation.

a Hair Trigger Constitution.

Some one has said that animals have
q hair trigger constitution, says Orfsen
SWEET Marden in Success Magazine,
They go off OF the slightest provoca.
ton, because they act from impulse.
They do not know how to control
themselves. The animal instinct dom
mates.
Self control is the first condition of
all achievement. 1t is said that the
first sign of insanity is the loss of self
control. When a person is no longer
the master Of his own acts he is not
only in danger, but any degree of
achievement is impossible to him.
Every thought tends to result in an
act, so that thought always leads. The
mental attitude at any moment Is the
pattern which the life processes
weave. The lives of many Of US are
grotesque crazy quilts.
