PROFITS AND pEcENcY


ways Dependent Upon the Latter.
Some five years ago the late big
Tim" Sullivan was quoted as saying
that the well-known song, They Say
Such Things and They Do Such Things
on the Bowery," had lowered rents and
real estate values on that famous
thoroughfare by fully % to 80 per cent.
The illusions stick, and people would
not 60 there. A few weeks ago the
receivers Of the Hotel Rector in New
York changed its name to Claridge's.
No one who remembered the refer
ences to "Rector's" in such plays as
''The Easiest Way" or who has savor-
ed the fieshy atmosphere Of that popu-
lar musical comedy, ''The Girl From
Rector's," is at any loss to understand
why this change was made. What
would the respectable people Of Alton,
ILL.,, for example, say to a man who had
been in New York and had stayed at
'Rector's?" It would be a confession
Of moral bankruptcy! With their
usual delicate indirection, our papers
say that the name was ''redolent
of champagne and lobster" Ger
tainly the Hotel Rector failed to make
money despite every advantage of To-
cation, structure and management.
And now comes word that San Fran
cisco has wiped out the world-famous
"Barbary Coast" on the ground that
'It would hurt the Panama Pacific Ex-
position" The coast has been closed
before-but always it's influence has
been too strong for honest officials and
its spoils for dishonest ones. The
coasts power was that of the united
dive keepers and their gangs of re-
peaters and habitues, first Of all; then
the men who profited by 1t, landlords
and merchants; finally the tolerance
of sight-seers, who considered the
coast their playground. So great was
this influence that at one time, when
the Coast was closed during a period
Of reform, the leading merchants OF
the city petitioned the police commits
sioners to reopen it. Only one news
paper in San Francisco, the Bulletin
dared publish the names Of the leading
merchants who had signed that petit
ton. But business men have learned
lesson since then. They know to-
day that the profit in the waste and
wreck of human life is, in the end illu-
sorry. No community can get any
thing out Of booze, gambling and pros
titution save impaired values, falling
rents, higher police expenses, loss, de-
graduation and death.-Collier's Week

flung 1t forcibly down upon the pave
ment in front Of the other.
The householder naturally pulled up
short, just in time to save his feet,
while the burglar, turning sharply
down a side alley, disappeared from
view.
The latter case calls to mind one
which happened in Devonport, or rath-
er In Stoke, which is the residential
suburb Of that town. A naval officer
was aroused at about 3 a. m, on win
ter morning by hearing slight clatter
downstairs. He picked up a sword and
went down and located the sound as
having come from the dining room.
There was a good deal of silver
there, and he at once made up his
mind that burglars were after 1t. He
tried the door, but found 1t fastened
from the inside, so went out Of the
front door and rushed around to the
window.
But the thieves had foreseen this
manoeuver. AS, he reached 1t one of
them flung a handful Of pepper into his
face, and as he reeled back, choked and
half blinded, they both jumped out and
took to their heels.
One of the smartest tricks ever play
ed by burglar was in house in the
suburbs of Worcester. The man broke
in at night, and, after packing up some
silver below, ventured upstairs to see
what he could find. The master Of the
house spotted him, and called his son.
They located Mr.. Sykes in a first
floor front room. His shadow was
plainly visible on the blind, outlined
apparently by a candle or lantern. The
father kept watch outside in the front.
while the son went for policeman
When he returned with the officer the
shadow was still plainly visible. But
when they went up and entered the
room, behold there was nothing but an
effigy made with pillows and suit of
clothes.
The intruder, seeing that he had
been discovered, had rapidly construct
ed this to personate himself, and had
then cleared Off by means Of a rope

TRICKS OF BURGLARS
Ingenious Schemes Used by Robbers te
Prevent Pursuit and Capture.

The wise burglar considers no,
only how he may enter, but also how
he may escape. He has the whole
thing planned out before embarking or
his venture, and nothing is left to
chance.
When he is at work in a room he
usually locks the door on the inside
or if there is no lock he simply props
chair with its back hard under the
door handle, thus making it quite i'm
possible for any one to come in upon
him Unexpectedly.
Sometimes his ordinary precautions
fail, and he is driven to take others on
the spur of the moment. These are Of
ten of the most extraordinary charac-
ter, and may end in doing serious dam
age to life and property.
An instance in point occurred not
long ago at Hopwood, near Reditch. A
tradesman's wife was alone in the
house at night when she was aroused
by creaking sound. Opening her eyes
she saw a rough-looking man in the
room. Evidently he knew his way
about, for he tip-toed to a chest OF
drawers and took out a small cash box
which held a sum of about SIS. With
great presence of mind the lady re-
Trained from screaming: She waited
until the man was out of the room
then sprang up and hastily put on a
dressing gown.
Then she ran out, but on gaining the
top of the stairs was met by blaze OF
flame The thief, who had evidently
heard her get out of bed, snatched up
pile of newspapers in the passage
below, and, heaping them on the stairs
set fire to them.
1t was impossible to pass the barrier
of fire, and though fortunately help
came in time to put the flames out the
burglar got clean away.
Even more cunning was the ruse OF
thief who raided house on Woburn
street, w. C. The tenant, hearing a
noise outside his bedroom door, jump
ed up and discovered that his watch
and chain were missing. Without wait
ing to put on slippers, he bolted down.
stairs, and was just in time to see the
thief rush out of the front door. He
gave chase. The thief glanced around,
saw that his pursuer was barefooted,
and, taking a bottle from his pocket,

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
System of Tubes That Run the Length
of Thar Bodies.

System of Tubes That Run the Length
of Their Bodies.
Landlubber animals have lungs and
sea creatures have gills. But insects
have neither one nor the other, says
the Chicago Tribune. They have a
complex system Of tubes running
throughout the whole length Of the
body by means Of which air is convey
ed to every part Of the system. AS
they are destined hin nothing
but air, they are strongly supported
to guard against collapse from pres
sure.
This support is furnished by means
Of fine thread running spirally with
in the walls of the tube, much in the
same way. There are generally two
of these tubes, which run the whole
length of the insects body.
Many flies, as larvae, live in the wa
ter. Arranged along each side Of their
bodies is a series of exceedingly thin
plates, into each Of which runs Sc

and absorb the oxygen contained in
the water. The tail ends in three
featherlike projections. BY means Of
these the larvae causes currents of
water to flow over the gills and thus
their efficiency is increased.
The gnat also lives in the water as
a larya, But II has no gills. There
fore it cannot breathe the oxygen in
the water, but must breathe air. This
is done by means Of spicade situa-
ted at the tip of its tail. Indeed, the
tail is prolonged into little tube. The
larva floats along head downward In
the water with this tube just above
the surface to enable it to breathe.
After some time it is provided with
two tubes which act in the same man.

'The governors statement, as pub
lished this morning, August IL, 1911

fectly.
"When the value of the collateral

was below the required amount, of
course 1t was a matter of business for

IN the loan at the then market prices
was approximately $4,000, considered
ample to protect the loan. (Signed)

TO ENJOIN USE OF NAME
OF SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
rFrom n staff Correspondentl

TRENTON, N, J., Aug. 11.-Vice-
Chancellor Emery, in the Court of
Chancery, has advised the issuance
of temporary injunction restrain
ing the American Company from

Piled for by Mum & Co, publishers

The two parties to the suit entered

These contracts were terminated
by Mum & Co. in June 1911. At
that time the Encyclopedia bore on
it's title page as publishers the

strain the defendants from further

after the contracts were terminated.
The vice. chancellor says he will hear
counsel as to the terms and condi-
tions of the injunction before its ef-
feet goes into operation.
