Entrance to the office building was made through the celiarway. There was about $10O in cash in pay envelopes taken by the burglars, but a tin box containing money was not disturbed. It is evident that the watchman was so timed as to be quite distance from the office when the safe was blown open and that he was probably shadowed while the safe crackers were at work.

DYNAMITE AS 1T EXPL0DES.
II Follows, as Lightning Does, the Line
Of Least Resistance.


It is the popular impression that dy-
Mantle seeks the line Of greatest re-
s~istance. Place a quantity of black
powder on a rock and light 1t with a
fuse. 1t will fash. simply scorching the
stone. Place a piece Of dynamite on
the same rock. and the rock will be
shattered; hence the reasoning that
dynamite follows the line Of greatest
resistance.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. however. The black powder
takes fire and explodes much more
slowly than the dynamite. so that the
elastic air that incloses 1t. as it does
everything. gives way gradually and
the force Is lost In the atmosphere.
With dynamite the explosion has been
so sudden. the attack on the air SO in
Simultaneous. that for a fraction Of a
second it actually resists. The force Of
the dynamite is so tremendous that 1t
cannot wait. and it is turned into the
rock. which for the instant becomes the
line of least resistance.
An illustration Of this may be seen
during a display O. lightning. A fork
Of 1t strikes across the sky. 1t packs
the air so densely that it a no longer
make rapid progress in that direction.
and it turns aside to follow the line of
least resistance. 1t cannot wait for the
air to yield. 1t is the same with dyna-
mite.-Harper's Weekly.

organ. wv
1t had been known for some time
that Mr.. Munsey had been trying to
purchase the Press. and in a state
ment from him which was published
in the Press he said that he has been
trying for years to get a New York
newspaper equipped with an Asso-
.ciate Press franchise to complete the
chain Of newspapers which he al
ready owned.
This il not Mr.. Munsey's first ex-
perience with a New York newspa-
per. He purchased the New York
Daily News several years ago, but
abandoned it after a short trial, and
it went out of existence.
The New York Press was founded
in 1884 a. a protective tariff news

first assistant postmaster general un-
der President Hayes. "A short time
later Robert p. Porter bought an in

FIRST DAILY NEWSPAPER.
The Courant Started in London Two
Hundred Years Ago by a Woman

a woman published the first daily
newspaper in the world. IL was call
ed the Courant and made its first
appearance in London an March IN.
Before that time the news
had been dispensed weekly or. In a
few cases OF very progressive edi-
tors, semi-weekly.
1t is said that 1t was Issued by
|"E. Mallet against the Ditch at
Fleet Bridge Behind that noncom-
initial e. was Elizabeth" II was
the imagination OF a woman that
first conceived the idea that man
would want to have the news every
morning with his breakfast. and with
the charactistic impulsiveness OF her
sex she put the idea into operation.
The Courant's two column were
printed on only one side OF the sheet
and contained such items as the fol-
lowing:
"'Tis believed that the Earl or
Portland is by this time at Paris"
"Here is talk as if 900. 900 pistols
were transmitted hither from France
for bribing some persons to favor
the designs OF that crown"
There were no pictures % adver-
tisements. The Courant lived several
years, and since its appearance the
world has never been without a daily
newspaper. A copy, the very first Is
sue, in fact, Is preserved in the Brit
ish museum. Elizabeth Mallet had a
style and a mind Of her own, as is
apparent from the following para
graph from that first issue:
"The Courant Gas title shows) will
be published daily. being designed
to give all the material news as zoo
as every post arrives. and is confined
to half the compass to save the pub
lie at least half the impertinence OF
ordinary newspapers"
She also promises that the editor
will not take upon himself to give
any comments or conjectures or his
own. but will relate only matter OF
facts, supposing the other people 70
have sense enough to make reflec-
lions for themselves Advertising

Natures Signs Of Rain.

Many happenings in nature are
indicative of wet weather. Rain may
be expected when any OF the fol-
lowing things take place:
When the perfume Of flowers Is I'M
usually noticeable, because damp
weather conveys the odor OF flowers
more effectively.
When the swallows Fly low. be-
cause the swallows live on insects
that fly low when the upper stratas
OF air are moist.
When ducks and geese dash water
on their backs, because by wetting
the outer coats or feathers before "a
rain they prevent the drops from
penetrating through the open fea-
theirs to their bodies
When horses and cattle stretch
out their necks and sniff the air. they
smell the increasing fragrance pre-
ceding a rainstorm.
When spiders hide. because they
know wet weather will drive flies
away and their webs will not snare
any food.
when wild flowers and many
plants close, because they are very
sensitive and fold their petals to
protect the stamen from the rain
drops.
