Staying as they came.
The Turks were reinforced by two
large bodies of infantry and threw
their whole strength against the Ital-

smashing, but the Italians rallied and
drove back the enemy inficting
heavy losses.
The Turkish horsemen and foot
soldiers displayed remarkable BRAY

BURGLAR SMASHED UP

San Francisco, Cali Oct. 27.-An
automobile operated by an electric
burglar alarm in the home of Police
Judge A. B. Treadwell had an encou-
ter with real burglar Saturday night
according to a report made to the CEN
trail police station last night and the
automaton was badly used up.
The dummy was no match for the
burglar and now lies a wreck with
its head crushed. The weapon which
the burglar won the battle with was
a heavy window weight.
In an alcoye at the head of the
stairs stood a well designed figure of
man made of plaster of Paris and
metal
In the hollow head of the machine
made man was an electric battery
which was connected with the house
current so that when any one stepped
on the top step of the stairs the cur
rent was turned on and the man
moved. When the burglar stepped on
that step he undoubtedly thought his
time had come as the figure started
toward him. When he removed his
foot from the step the light went out
in the head, but the thief went at
his enemy in the dark using his win
dow weight as a club.
The wreck of the electric man was
complete The thief made his escape.

produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy. who in 1910 exhibited

marks the era of our present form
OF electric light, though electric lights
had been in use abroad prior to that
time. The exhibition of models and
practical demonstrations of electric
lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted
the attention of scientists and capital
lists in this country, and the first in
candescent lamps and the first arc
system were put to practical use in
a small way in 1873. The Brush arc
light gained favor in the beginning
as the most adaptable for street light
ing, and Cleveland, O.. the home Of
Charles Francis Brush. the inventor,
was the initial American city to adopt
the arc system for street lighting.
Since 1873 both the Brush arc sys-

tenn have developed.-Marc NJ. Rey-

HaIcyon DAYS.

'Alcyone. or Halcyone, the daughter

Latin professor. ':Ceyx was drowned,
and Alcyone on learning of his fate
threw herself into the sea. The gods
were moved by the tragedy of the
young lovers. They brought then,
back to life in the form of halcyons,
or kingfshers, and they decreed that
for the seven days from Dec. % to
Dec. 20 the sea should remain calm
while the sea birds built their nests
upon it. Those seven days. the last

GOLD LEAF.
Made Now Practically as It Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.

Made Now Practically as 1t Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.
In an article on gold leaf in the Mag
azine of Commerce John Mastin says
that just as the date of the discovery
of gold is too remote even to be guess
ed at so is the origin of gold leaf lost
in antiquity.
On some of the most ancient num-
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, ETC., and
in some instances on the coffins also.
1t also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with "thin sheets of
hammered gold'' and skins of gold''-
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least in the eighth CEN
tury B. c., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins
was, at any rate in the eleventh CEN
tury A. D., substantially the same as
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made in the intervening
nine centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot
terry Of the fifth century the gold leaf
used is as thin as that used today, so
that in results obtained also we have
not advanced in the least, but still keep
practically to the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cof-
fins Of the third century A. D. and
most of the Greek vases of the fifth.
