MAGNET FIGURES
IN ROBBERIES

BERLIN, July 1.-THE German pro-
vincial police are endeavoring to
roundup a gang of hotel thieves work
ing an entirely new trick variously
known as "the magnet" or "the moth
and the candle" Hotels are selected
in the provincial towns which have no
electric lights and few, even among
the best, have that. Usually rich
farmer or traveller is picked out as
the victim. A beautiful young woman,
called the magnet" rents an adjoining
room. Late at night the victim is
awakened by light knock on the
door and a shy but sweet voice stam-
mers out that it's owner is in difficulty.
Her candle or gas light has been ex-
She has no matches.
The victim can't resist that voice.
He opens the door of his room and sees
in the dim hall a picture in bewitching
negligee, downcast eyes and blushing
cheeks The victim, whether young
or old, feels that galantry demands he
should aid beauty in distress. No, he
demures at giving her matches. He
insists upon going to her room and
lighting her candle or gas himself.
The lady stands at the door of her
room; rarely will she enter while the
farmer is there. She is
very modest The victim is in no hur-
y to leave.
When he awakens in his own room
lext morning he finds he has been
'obbed, of money and jewelry. Con-
ederates of the magnet" slipped into
he room while the magnet" was hav-
ng her candle or gas lighted.

LAY OF BIRD LIFE BY NOTED PLAYERS

part OF New England which has ever
been made. In the sanctuary one sees
various curious contrivances for bird
comfort-food bells and food houses, mini
allure bathtubs on the top of tree stumps
and boxes with paddle wings.
The result of these things was three
fold-hrst in the number of birds that de-
cided that Merden was an excellent place
TO take up residence: second, in the local
interest in bird conservation that was
aroused by means of this practical OBJ
ject lesson, eliminating in the masque,
which may later be played in Washing

Representatives. and last. through the
demonstration of the vast amount of in
terest in bird conservation lying dormant
throughout the country. If the current
opinion of New England is any indication
of the state OF mind of the nation. Il
will not be long before the bird conserva-
ton movement has branched through the
whole country, for while lecturing for the
Massachusetts Audubon Society the orig
ipator of the Meriden sanctuary was i'm
pressed by the genuine interest taken in
birds in almost every town that was visit
ed. 1t was evident, he said. that num-
bers had attended the lectures not only
to be entertained, but to learn how they
might help the great cause OF bird pro-
lection. The Meriden sanctuary for the
wild birds of the countryside. followed as
an experiment and next came the recent
maRque which was designed to make the
effect OF this far reaching.

DESTINY OR PROVIDENCE?

'.Ir the first place. the Hebrew words,
translated boz the common version of the
Bible. prepared a great fish,, do not mean
that God created 81 FISH for the specific
purpose OF swallowing Jonah. but rather
that God allotted or appointed great
fish for that purpose. or. in Christian

PURSUING SCIENTIFIC METHODS.

IF, however. on the other hand. this
narrative is regarded by many intelligent
and scholarly persons as veritable his
tory. then the case is different and the
story is such as may demand reinvesti-
cation.

record. this fact should be kept in mind.
