Thieves Raid Home.-While mem
bers of the Elmer Heck family were
absent from home at 1902 Twenty
fourth street, Thursday, thieves enter
ed the house and stole $40 in money,
bank with some small change in 1t,
and valuable jewelry. The theft was
discovered at o'clock when Mrs.
Heck returned home. Every room in
the house had been ransacked in the
search for valuables. Belief Of neigh
bors is that the robbery may be trac-
ed to an agent who was selling small
articles in the neighborhood during
the forenoon. 1t Is thought that en-
trance to the home was effected be-
fore IL o'clock. The thief, or thieves,
entered via the rear door, using a
skeleton key to open it. They left by
way of the front door, evidently, for it
was open when Mrs. Heck returned
home. In addition to money taken, a
gold locket and collar pin with dia-
mond settings were stolen, and comb
inlaid with gold was taken. Some old
time coins which were highly valued
by Mr.. Heck were among the stolen
articles.

soldier or scholar has had such a single

something like ten cities he received
$1,000 for his frst appearance. For the
first night in another group Of cities he
received $1,000 and In still another
group $500. Travelling in a special car
upon which he lived In most places,
and accompanied by four or FIVE guests,
he ended the tour with S6S0O0 clear Of
all expenses. For that first night in
New York a charity paid Stanley's
agent $4,000. and the receipts from the
lecture were S14,763. On the other

lecture for $25 night IN schoolhouses,

A curious fact concerning birds is
that the tip Of the wing moves at
practically the same speed In every
species. This is $50 feet per minute or
nearly seven and half miles per hour.
Whether 1t is the tiny wren or the
huge stork. the rule holds good. and
even the bee comes within IL. Thus
the bee has a wing only a quarter Of
an inch long. the sparrow's wing is
four inches and the stork's twenty
seven. But the bees wing beats IL 400
times in a minute. the sparrow's 720
and the stork's only 105 times II you
multiply together the length of the
wing and the number Of beats you
will get almost exactly the same result
in the three cases-namely. stork. 2.S35;
bee. 2.s5O: sparrow. 2.ssO But II ever
machine is made TO fly like a bird It
