been an intolerable strain by taxation
on business. and this has caused a
scramble for funds. mounting dehts

Ingenious Smuggling Device.

There is a gentleman in Toronto, for
merly associated with the United
States secret service, who wears a
curious ring that figured in many a
smuggling exploit. 1t is in the form of
a scarab, but opens and reveals cavi-
ty Just large enough to carry one
carat diamond 1t was worn by a
purser on an Atlantic liner, who SNUG
gled in valuable diamond on every
trip.
He was content to carry just the one
stone and in the course Of years built
nm a modest fortune as result of his
operations. The band Of, the ring
springs apart so that the smuggler
could divest himself of it on a sec
ond's notice if he feared arrest. Thus
he would escape the smuggling penalty,
for the American law provides that it
is necessary before conviction can
be made to find the smuggled goods
actually on the person of the accused.
