SLIM CHANGE FOR BURGLARS
"Safe" in New York Banking House Might Be Said to Be Gibraltar f@-... If VaultS

The building occupied by the bank ing house of Morgan, in New York, is said to contain the strongest security vault in the world, vault that is proof against fire, water, mobs and burglars.
 The vault is twenty-three feet wide, twenty-seven feet deep, and thirty three feet high, outside measurement, and divided into three stories. The walls, which are two and half feet thick. are made up of Harveyized nickel-steel armor plate, surrounded with rock concrete, which is rein forced with double and treble sections of 125-pound nickel-steel rails. The main door of the vault is round, and three feet thick, and when closed makes an air-tight fit with the door frame. Although the door, with it's bolt work and hinges, weighs fifty tons, it can be swung with one hand.
 The vault is equipped with the very latest and most complete system of time and combination locks, burglar alarms and electric lights. It is guarded night and day by patrolmen, whose work Is made easier by pass ages round the four sides, underneath the bottom, and across the top, and by mirrors so placed that they can see around the corners.

EXPLAINS HOW EMARY'SLAMB'
 WAS WRITTEN

TACOMA, Wash, July 26. - Mrs. Laura B. Downey Bartlett, local author and pioneer of the northwest, has a piece of wool from the most famous lamb that ever lived-the lamb re- sponsible for the childhood rhyme about Mary and her little lamb.
 The small bunch of wool from Marys lamb was handed down to Mrs. Bartlett, who has a tiny book that tells the full history of the episode and explains how the celebrated ovine happened to take such a prominent place in juvenile literature. The book contains pictures of the original Mary and of the barn in which the lamb was born.
 Marys lamp, according to the nara tive, was one of pair of twins. Its mother kicked it aside and refused to have anything to do with it. Mary found it, stiff with cold and well-nigh starved, and begged to have it brought into the house. There she wrapped it in a blanket and nourished it on warm milk and oatnip until it grew into a great pet and an inseparable com- panion.
 Then one morning, the book recites, when Mary and her brother Nat were on the way to school, they found the lamb following them. Mary desired to send it back, but Nat thought it would be rare sport to see a lamb in the school room, so the children en-

BLIND MAN ODDLY GIFTED
Gave Correct Answer in Forty.Five Seconds to Problem involving
 Billions in Figures.

Some years ago the London Lancet cited a remarkable case in which eX- tTaordinary ability in arithmetic cai- culation was associated with general mental inferiority, if not actual in sanity.
 The patient was completely blind, and was able to make elaborate cal culatiOnS, such as square root Of any number running into four fig ures, in an average of four seconds, and the square root of any number running into six figures in six sec ends.
 These are mere trifes, however, compared with the following:
 He was asked how many grains of corn there would be in any one of 64 boxes, with one in the first, two in the second, four in the third eight in the fourth and so on in succession. He gave the answers for the fourteenth (S, S,192), for the eighteenth 031, ,072) and the twenty-fourth (S,38S, ,608) in simultaneously, and he gave the fig ures for the forty eighth box Q40,- 737, ,498, ,355, ,32S) in six seconds.
 Further on the request to give the total in all the boxes up to and in cluding the sixty-fourth he furnished the correct answer (1S,446, TAI ,O73,- 7O9,55S,615) in 45 seconds.-Sclentific American.

couraged it to come. School had not yet opened, and the lamb was secreted in, the huge, box-likel affair that pro- vided a desk for Mary before the teacher appeared.
 School was proceeding with it's usual decorum when the lamb, cramped for room, began to strike it's hoofs on the side of the desk, and thereby made known it's presence to the teacher, who with some difficulty, persuaded it to go outside.
 As it happened, John Roulsone, Jr., freshman at Harvard, came to visit the school that day and the episode struck him with such force that he wrote the famous jingle on the subject and presented it to Mary. The verses soon became nationally known.
 Mrs. Bartlett, who owns the book and the bit of wool from the lamb, is one of the best known historical re- search workers in the northwest. She has recently completed a history of the state of Washington which has been adopted as textbook in the state public schools.

Add Maqnetic Influence.

A strange phenomenon, due, accord ing to scientific authorities, to still un- explained magnetic influences, has for a whole month been observed daily in London. Watches and chronometers have been stopping suddenly. It has been useless to take them to the matchmaker, who could not detect the trouble, nor remedy it. After the lapse of an hour or two, however, the watches begin going again, and >all that is needed is to set them at the right hour.

WEST VIRGINIA
 TO INDICATE HER POSITION

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July. 26. - West Virginia is preparing to launch nationwide campaign of vindication.
 A long series of industrial troubles, dating from the Cabin and Paint Creek wars in 1912-1913, to the march of min CTS against Logan County in the late summer of 1921, has brought the little Mountain State into disrepute through out the country
 Newspapers and magazines have launched saIvo after salvo of abuse upon West Virginia, characterizing the state as a sort of habitat of arch-crim- inals and gunmen. ruled with the iron hand of an invisible government.
 Outside of the circle of mountains and rivers which surround West Vir- ginia it is generally supposed that the inhabitants are mainly mountain des peradoes who "pack" big automatics with long Winchesters between their knees.

 Mountain communities have al ways suffered because of their roman tictic character, it is pointed out Chi cago may be rocked with the explosion of bombs of an industrial war, band of highwaymen may steal half mil lion dollars from a New York mail truck-these crimes are interesting and dramatic. Yet they lack some of the picturesque detail of the mountain crime. With the Southern mountains as background it's easy to throw in the bitter feud, the muzzle loading rifles and the rendezvous in a wild, craggy hollow for local color.
 All this makes for headlines and front pages.
 The life of the majority-the ordi- nary town and country existence, quite like that of any other state-is forgot ten for the depredations of the min ority.
 A lot of miners have been living in tents. They were inspected by Rabbi Wfse's committee. And true enough they have suffered. And, yet, they are not nearly as unfortunate as thousands of occupants of metropolitan tenement houses.
 West Virginia is spending millions for roads and schools. The develop ment of the. country, while naturally difficult because of the rough topo- graphy, is making progress, and of ficials and leaders in civic work have expressed the hope that the State will take it's place with others of America, provided some of it's enemies from without forget their animosity and lend rather than withdraw, the helping hand.
