liar quality is that it is extremely sem
sitive to light. In fact, it is as sensi-
tive as the eye and TRANSMITS this pc
culiarity to an electric current.
That is the reason why its use as
burglar alarm was suggested to a
French inventor, and this is how he
made use of it: While held in the
dark a selenium coil will not permit
an electric current to go through it
very fast. In fact, the current has
difficulty getting through it at all.
Light, however, makes current pass
through it with greater strength, and
the ,tiniest bit of light will cause
variation.
This Frenchman, therefore, built
himself little instrument with a
selenium coil as it's central mechan-
ism. When he left his place of BUSH
ness for the night he opened the box
containing the coil, which was so ar
ranged that any light shown in the
room would fall on it: An electri-
cal apparatus was attached to the
coil.
It was so adjusted that when light
fell on the coil the current would rush
through it with sufficient strength to
cause an alarm bell to ring. This bell
could be placed anywhere
away if desired. And there could be
any number of the coils made to pro-
tect a house, one for each room, With
connections at the nearest police sta
ton. AS soon as the would-be bur-
glar struck light or flashed a dark
lantern he would start the machine
sending out its call for help, with the
result that he wouldn't be able to get
very far along with his burglary.
There haven't been any of these
machines made as yet to go on the
market in this country, although
patent has been applied for on them.

ENGINEERS KICK
 ON NEW ORDER
Object to Being Made Respons- ible for Defects in
 Locomotives

New Haven, July 2S.-At the meet ing Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers held here yesterday after noon there was manifested much dis satisfaction with the order recently is sued by the road changing the respon- s1o1lity for the condition of the engines and placing it henceforth upon the en- g1neer who runs it. In the past it has been up to the motive power depart ment to see that the engine is in first class shape when it leaves the round house and the engineer has had no re- sporsibility except for the running of it. Under the new rule the men claim they have been made responsible for the condition of the engine, they must notice it's defects and see that when 1t is turned into the round house at the end of the trip these defects are report ed and taken care of The men claim that this Is a hardship on them, inas- much as the driving of these big en- zines at high speed gives a man suf-
 1cient to take care of without taxing him with responsibility and duties connected with the mechanical perfec- ton of its parts.
 No action was taken on this matter at the meeting, but there was much talk about it among the men. There was no action taken either in regard to the dropping recently of number of engineers for drinking. The men reel tAs acC1On very SoreIy,- cIa1In1nS that the men who are being dropped are not hard drinking men but among the best on the system, with years of experience and they have been detect ed by spotters taking a drink outside of working hours. The men declare they have no fault to find with the dropping of real drinking Tmen and that the union will take up no defense of any man dropped for intoxication, but if the company is going to drop men for simply taking a drink they declare they should start higher up and there will be but few men not hit by the ac- ton which results.

PEST THREATENS
 POTATO CROP:
 WARNING ISSUED

Washington, July 29-Warning against a pest that threatens every dinner table in the land was issued today by the Department of AgricuI- ture against the potato tuber moth, which is working havoc with the po- tato crop in numerous parts of the country and whose ravages threaten to prevent the planting of the vegetable in many places of the winter supply. The pest is especially prevalent In California. and Texas, the Department reports, and through shipment of early potatoes it is being introduced broad cast throughout the United States.
 Exlerts of the Bureau of Entomolo- gy urge potato growers to look care fully over the potatoes they dig and destroy every potato and vine that shows the slightest signs of the moth. Special attention, they add, should be given to these potatoes, on which the subsequent crop depends. Fumiga- ton with carbon bisu1phide is recom- mended.
 The scientists utter warning against moths in planting and har- vesting potatoes and declare unless protective and defensive measures are adopted at once there will be a sert- ous reduction of the potato crop.''

FOUL PLAY IN
 DEATH OF MAN
 FOUND DROWNED

Waterbury, Conn.,, July 2s.-Investi- gation is being made today by the au- thorfties to determine responsibility for the death of Adam Muzekevicze, whose bruised and battered body was taken from the Naugatuck river yesterday near the Riverside Cemetery. The au- topsy performed 1aG4 night shows that the head was bruised in several places and there was a two inch gash on the back of the skull laying bare the bone, that the neck bore marks of choking and that the shoulders and back were a mass of bruises indicating that the m an had been severely beaten. These injuries, the physicians who perform q the autopsy say, were sufficient to have caused death.
 There was no. water in the lungs, which were filled with air, an indica- ton, the physicians state, that the man was dead when the body entered the water.
 Robbery, it is thought, may have been the motive. The dead man. who was Lithuanian and had been in the country about four years, had been employed at a local brass foundry
 He was last seen alive, it is said, on Friday of last week.
 The police were notified Saturday night by friends of the dead man, who were worried over his disappearance.
