all the fanfares since last January,

Yet It remains to be seen whether
the note can be made the basis for
fruitful negotiations, since it leaves
two chief points unsettled. 1t prom
ises neither the abandonment Of pas
sive resistance in the Ruhr nor per-
mission for the creation of a demiii-
tarized autonomous German Rhine
state.
The necessity OF such concessions
is admitted in nearly every quarter.

declarations in the past. cannot make
such concessions now.

MOSCOW, June 9.-Accounts of In
terviews which Irving T. Bush Of
New York has had with government
leaders and Russian business men
are displayed at great length by the
newspapers.
In one of these talks Mr.. Bush is
quoted as saying that the develop
ment of Russian industry through
American capital and credit is pos
sible, but that Russia, primarily, must
win the confidence Of America by
guaranteeing the integrity of the fu-
ture and recognizing past American
investments.

as an example the National City

BERLIN, June st want a re-
liable burglar who happens to be
out Of jail" read a recent appli-
cation to the Berlin police from
jewoler. proprietor Of big new
establishment on Potsdamer Platz.
Inquiry showed that the dealer
in precious stones wanted an ex-
pert cracksman to test the safety
appliances and locks of his new
establishment. While the detec-
tives were unable to guarantee the
reliability" of any of their ac-
quaintances among cracksmen at
liberty, they were able TO supply Il
man whose skill in his irregular
calling was above question.
Within one hour the ex-burglar
was able to displace one of the
iron bars which safe-makers had
guaranteed to be thief-proof, and
in short time made his way into
the shop. He offered so many sug-
gestions about safety devices and
alarms that the jeweler has en-
ployed him regularly to inspect
the construction work-under the
supervision of the proprietor.

who sat staring into unseeing dis

Old Pres Gibbs was short in his

1t was characteristic of Sally that
she should keep the sickening truth

of her, too, that she should decide to
see old man Gibbs first.

circumstances, will endure a hundred
centuries and pass through naked
fire uninjured, is presently destroyed
by the juice of a lemon or other

changeable, will, when secluded from

A week later an auditing company
down in Springfield sent up man
whose remuneration was to be the
stupendous sum of twenty dollars
per day.
Auditor Barriwell was tall, slen-
der, bookish- appearing man of thirty
eight or forty, with clothes slightly
behind the prevailing fashions and
pair of tortoise-shell spectacles
astride a straight nose. He was very
quiet and precise in all his move
ments, and went about reducing the
Telegraph's finances to fundamentals
in a manner that made the sum paid
him seem well expended.
Old Preston Gibbs went away on
a vacation during the audit. Happy
Sally knew all there was to know
about the accounts and she stayed
with Barriwell hour after hour and
evening after evening, sitting things
down and building up a new set of
books item by item.
Suddenly we began to take note
that something was happening to
Happy Sally. She had pretty hair
when 1T was dressed properly. Hith-
erto II had been-well, just hair. She
gathered it up now, all the stray
strands and "scolding locks" and did
as a shock that Happy Sally after
all was a really pretty woman.
AS Barriwell continued his work In
our office day after day we began to
realize other things: Happy Sally
was dressing differtntly. She bios
somed out in dainty organdies and
poplins-even for the office.

The HOrograph.

THE need of a device that will reg
lister very small fractions of
second is apparent when it is con-
sidered that in races airplanes or
automobiles are started separately
and that frequently the elapsed time
between the start and the finish of
two machines is extremely close,
making the ordinary stop-watch
methods of timing entirely made
Quate.
1t has been found that when half
dozen experienced and conscientious
observers hold stop watches each in
variably will give a different report
on the time made by the airplane or
automobile.
A solution of this problem has been
found in the horograph. This instru-
ment is operated by electricity in
connection with electro magnets and
is almost as rapid In action as the
electric flash itself. 1t indicates the
elapsed time of an airplane or auto-f
mobile to the hundredth part of
second and prints permanent recor4
of this time in figures on a paper
ribbon.
A statement of an actual accom-
plishment will perhaps give q better
idea of the almost incredible rapidity
with which the horograph works. A
car travelling at the speed of 80 miles
an hour covered lit feet every sec
ond, which means the depth of
city block at every tick of a pendu-
lum clock. The horograph has given
a printed record of the time of each
of two cars travelling at speed of
80 miles an hour when the front
wheels Of one car were overlapping
the rear wheels of the car in front.

Submarine Thawing.

THE use of electricity for thawing
frozen water pipes of city houses
is no longer uncommon. An unusual
undertaking, however, was the sue
cessful application of the process TO
a six-inch submarine main, 100 feet
long, that, resting on the bed of the
East river, connects North Brother
Island with New York city.
When an ordinary waterpipe is to
be thawed both ends are cut, and the
passage of a comparatively small
electric current through the resistant
pipe metal generates enough heat to
melt the ice in the pipe. Although
the same general plan was followed
with the frozen submarine main, all
the conditions were so difficult that
it took five days of applying powerful
electric currents and of constant
pumping with pressure of eighty
pounds to do the work.
