A lock that can be locked from one
side without key by the simple turn
of the door handle. and that when so
locked cannot be opened from the
other side of the door was patented
recently by Anders Gustaf Anderson
of New York. This lock is intended
for use on the doors of such apart
ments as bathrooms, private offices
or doctors consulting rooms, in which
the certainty of absolute privacy is
desired without the use of a key.
The bar on which the handles are
turned turns a bar that presses
against the two arms of the bolt,
thereby drawing this back with the
tongue which fastens the door. A
tumbler falls into place when the han
die on the inside of the door is turned
When it has fallen the door is locked
so far as the outside handle is con-
cerned, for the latter handle cannot
move the tumbler and this is in such
position that the bolt cannot move
back until the tumbler has been turned
out of the way, which can be done
only from the inside.

SKY MARAUDER IN AIRSHAFT 7
Birds Cling FearfuIly to Fire Escape
While Sparrow Hawk Hovers
Near.

A servant maid in an apartment on
the fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
dozens of sparrows that were hud-
ding on fire escape and window sill
did not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced onward and upward
into the airshaft and discovered the
reason
A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on its
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in the airshaft, but below the roof
level Occasionally, when the marau-
der's keen eye glimpsed sparrow
which hadn't taken refuge it darted
like flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made a captive and
scared out of the airshaft .
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon, but it was at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawks appearance.

What Poems Believe.

Just as the religion of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence of the
saints. so does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him see
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places.
Naturally, much of this superstition
has come down with the traditions of
his Aztec forbears, whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
