I Burglary s Science? The modern burglar is a scientist and inventor in his way. Recently a new tra in safe Jircakiug and other brandies of the cracksman's art has opened, and the famous jimmy, so Jong rampant on the suufs-ful burglar's coat of arms, is to lie euiicrscdcd by more convenient la bor saving tools. In Marseilles the other day a gang of ingenious cracksmen entered a banker's cilice armed with a Ktel saw of the newest construction and a handy little gas engine. There was no need for the exercise of muscle, nor was there any necessity for a good strong wrist at the saw, as there was at one time in the niiuals of famous robberies. Tho little engine was started, the saw put in the proper place and the connections made. Sweating themselves serenely upon a couple of chairs near at Land, these modern burglars watched the true and rapid work of their appli ances. The big safe might have resisted for hours the force of human bauds, but t he ?. vr, impelled by the engine, it could lint stand against. The stout iron safe promptly yielded up its contents of t vi r JuO worth of gold and bonds, and in a quarter of the time it would have taken to have committed the robbery nndtr tho old conditions the burglars were well out of the building with their boot v.

One can always learn from other chiefs at a distance who they are and something of their character. In approaching them always staid word of your coming and get, if possible, in formation in advance of the feeling of the chief toward whites. Upon nearing the village send on ahead to announce your arrival and wait until your mes senger returns with some of the villa gers to escort you to their chief. Greet the chief civilly and ask him to send caie of his poople to show you a good place fcr your tent, if you decide to camp in the village, which I have done iuvariably in this country, though it is not always advisable in every part of central Afri a. When you have rested, the chief will come to see you. Then state to him your business, talk frankly with him mid rr-1 : ! plainly your ue:d.s v.lKtliir Voj v.ujC guides or tc buy fixxt.

As Wo Contemplate the harces Made by Infant Science. We Marvel t tbo Ko ulta Whleh Will Follow WHen It BesehM tbo if of Manhood. Already science has made neighbors rf erstwhile far sundered places. Al ready the feat of girding Uio earth in 40 minutes, once ascribed to magical power, has teen left hopelessly behind by a new and scientific Puck. Already privacy has become well nigh impossi ble, even that of cue's bodily interior brirz nd longtr guaranteed. Already science has so far conquered the enemies cf life that the living are jostling each other for el ixiw room, and already the nations sletji if thcy"CT sleep wnu their fingers on the tn..r of the latet magazine rifle. If this t the case m the green tree, what may we expect in thedry? If infant science, only 75 yeH old, ha brought this about, what will sx-ifi in a state or inanliootl no I .r us. Another qa-stiou intrudes itself lure: Is the transformation, so far as it has gone, a gain? Are we the lietter or t!.o liant.it r for the aclneveiu nts .t appui seit nee, or did mt ii, - fore the new cre ator was born, live a more numau we say a more divine life than is pos sible l'mw? M- IiTthclot has no reply to such queries. He is tho embodiment if tlie spirit which wrests from nature ever new powers and turns them loose npon mankind to fulfill their destiny. It is not for tiK man of science to dis criminate, f ir how dtus he know what goes to mukc a new earth? He also must fulfill his destiny. Souietinies we read that tho age of romance has passed, but ask the interna tional congress of applied chemistry and you will probably hear that it is only just beginning; that the most fan tastic dreams cf our most, imaginative men are to w hat will be as huuiLle prose is to highest poetry. Who can doubt it? Who can forbear sometimes from at tempting a conception of the "new earth?" And how little way can he whose imagination is most compact ad vance w ithout a 6tagger and a fall? It is no wonder that science lifts her head and surveys the future with pride. M. Berthc lot promises a new man as well as a new earth. Given the secoud, the first is a necessity, for the old Adam in a reconstituted Eden would soon fall from grace again, unaided by the ser pent, in w hom, by the way, he no lon ger believes. Once more imagination runs riot. This new man wkut is he to her The new woman we know well enough to make description superfluous. Tho real question is whether we are to argue from this feminine to the as yet undetermined masculine. Let us hope not, for otherwise the lookout is ex tremely bad. It may be, however, that the new man cf applied science will ex emplify the myslerious law regulating forces which neither increase ncr di minish, but swing backward and for ward like the pendulum of the tides. As the woman becomes more and more munuidi of course, without being manly will the new man become more aud more womanish? We should like B.rthelot to consider that point in the light of science, which is now, ap parently, cur only guide. Much de pends on the solution of the problem. and it is a very serious consideration that nothing in the past can help us to it M- Bertbelot is reported as saying that "the entire social organization ie being transformed amid conditions for the comprehension of which the past offers no suggestive precedents or data. As Mr. Gilbert observes in a state of embarrassment, "Here's a pretty how d've do!" We are at sea as to tho new man, without rudder or compass, aud it is a mere toss up whether e may not turn out to be 6iniply an T J woman. Our personal concern, truly, is very wnalL The man of the present will last our time, and, with all his faults, he is eood enough for us, especially a we know nothing Utter. But we are taught to identif v ourselves with the race, and. iloincr so. tha ouestiou as to man 500 r . . vears hence is one not only of uncer tainty but of painful interest We shall not be able to repudiate him, but, on the other hand, ho may disclaim us, just as many people nowadays scorn fully reject tlie theory of man's descent from the ape. The subject is thus seen to be one of a very disquieting nature. and the sooner the international con gress of applied chemistry or other learned body throws further light upon it the better. Surely science can give some inkling of what its own Adam is likely to be. We do not ask for particu lars of his Eden, because we know that a railway will run through it, aud that suffices, but curieisity as to the recreate i gardi uer are inevitable. "A good man and an angel," exclaimed the late esti tnable Dr. Young, "these between. How thin tlie barrier!" We will hope for tho angel, though science may not recogniz's such a creature.

As a matter of fact, not only has it been steadfnstly coining the bullion in its vaults, but It has leen coining into standard dollars the seigniorage, or profit which it makes from the coinage function, anil which amounted last month alone to f W.O'.W. The Govern ment is, therefore, "doing something for silver" right along all it can law fully do. in fact, and more than it at tempt to h for any other interest.

In 1S72 it cost 24 J cents by water and 3.1J cents all rail to bring a bushel of grain from Chicago to New l ork. In 1S95 it cost 4J ccutu by water and 121 cents all rail. . In 1S73 the freight rate over all rail roads in the United States averaged 2 1-5 cents for each ton of freight earri cd one mile. In lS'J-5 the rate was less than I of one cent. In 1S73, on the New York Central, passenger engineers averaged $S0 ; in lXit-j, $150 a month ; freight engineers then ?'!0t now earn f'W-$75 ; tralnnie-n then S.T0-S35, now earn f 45-ort ; track men then 81 cents, now earn f 1.35 a day. Here is proof that wages do go up though prices go down.

This par ticular bird showed himself in advance of his fellows in many ways. He strut- tod alxuit the farm and made himself use ful by attacking and driving off hawks which came to tho place. Then evil days fell upon him. Yielding to the wiles of some of his species he soared off one day in their company and has never sine'e been seen about that particular neck of woods. from Virginia he came one fall e".ay throe yean ago, and aroused not only curioKity but also some alarm.

The following year the bell buzzard de parted for pastures new. He was heard of now at one place and then many miles distant a few days lat?r. It is certain that he has been seen in south-eastern Pennsylvania, in Maryland anil in Dela ware. For some time he was ltust sight of, aud it was thought that at last a bul let had reached him, but last fk he pet in an appearance here again, and began to renew old acquaintances. On Satur- dav afternoon Mrs. Ueo. It. Hummers, of Duitield, in this county, seven miles from Chambersburg, heard a bell tinkling near the house. Her husband is a ntuck dealer, and Mrs. Summers thought a bell wether had gotten away from her hus- lutnd's flock of sheep. On going out of tho house she could not see s shee p iu sight. Mi.-s Aukebrand, a neighlxtr, heard the same tinkling lssll, came out of the hone aud looked in vain up and down the road for the bicyclist she thought was coining. While the two women stood chatting shout tho n-inr, they heard the MX again overhead, ami on limiting up saw a big turkey buzzard circling around and around over them.

Ordinarily speaking it is not easy to get two pairs of shoes for the price of one, tiot even if tlie swell goes oil his own thoroughfare and descends to Kighth avenue or the Ilowery. Simp ly enough, the other day, however, this transaction was accomplished by a menilier of the smart net, who goes to an equally smart shoe-maker in llroad way. lie selected a divinely piinted pair of patent leathers and had the right shoe tried on. If fitted perfectly and the pair were sent home. They were donned in a hurry and the first weath er tlu-y e-neountered turned out floppy. The left boot wasn't uncomfortable.but felt differently from the right and be ing examined on return, proved to be not a niatph.

The State Gazette of Ktnporla, Kansas., throws light on the conditions that pre vail in Kansas and some of the other Western States. Ills the blight of cal amity Populism that is cursing that state, as the State Oazctte well says, In the fol lowing words: To-day the Kansas Department of Ag riculture sent out a statement which in dicates that Kansas has gained less than 3X10 people in the last year. There are about lyiu families in the state, auu there were about 10,000 babies born in Kan, ami yet so many people have lea the state that the natural increase H cut down to less than 2000 net. This hat been going on for eight years. If there had been a high brick wall around the state eight years agi, and not soul had been admitted! or permitted to leave, K visas would half a million souls lietleroif than she is to-day. And yet the nation has increased in popula tion. In live years 10,fK).fH people havo been added to tho national population. yet instead of gaining a share of this say i &lnnn Kansas has spj-arertly teen s plague spot, anil in tli very gtnteu ef j t no wor!d ha !o.si population by the ten j tho'i'-Mii"' every year. Not dily has she lost population bul she has lost wi-Kiin. tvery inoiiijcU man iu tho state who ouuid get out ith out great loss has gone. Kvery month in every community sees someone who has aliltle montiy pick up and leave the state. This has been going on for eight years. Money is leiiig drained out all the time. In towns where ten years ago the re were three or four or a hidf a dozen ni'iney Icii'lmg concern" "liinitlntitig in dustry by furnishing capital there are none or one or two that are leioking after the interest and principal already out standing. Whai's tho matter with Kansas? We all know; yet here we are at it again. Wo have an old inosH-buck Jae-k-soman, who snorts and howls lieeause there is a lath tub in the state house; wo are running that old Jay for governor. We have another shabby, wild-eyed, rattle-brained fanatic who has said openly in a dozen speeches that "the rights of the user are paramount to the rights of tho owner;" we are running him for chief justice, so that capital will oome tumbling over ilse'if to get iuto the state. We have raked the ash heap of human failure ia the state, aud have found an old hoopskirt of a man who has failed as a business man, who has failed r an edi tor, who has failed as a preacher, aud we are running him for congressman-at-large. He will help the looks of the Kansas delegation in Washington. Then we discovered a kid without a law prac tice, and have decided t vote for him for attorney general. Then for fear some hint that the state had become respectable might percolate through the civilized portions of the nation, we have decided to send three or four harpies out lectur ing, tilling the peoplo that Kansas is raising hell and letting corn go to weeds. Oh, this j.s a state to be proud of 1 We are a people who can bold up our heads. What we need here i hss money, less capital, fewer white shirt and brains, fewer men with business Judgment, and more of those fellows who loast that they are "just ordinary old clod -hoppers, but thatthy know more in a minute aliout finance than John Sherman." We need more men who are "piwtcd, who can bellow about the crime of who hate posterity, and who thiuk that lsv-ause a man believes in national honor that he is a tool of Wall street. That's the stun". live the prosperous man the dickens. Legislate the thriftless Into ease; whack the Binding out of the creditors and tell the delitor who borrow ed money live years ago, when the mon ey in circulation was more general than il is now, that the contraction of the cur rency gives him a right to repudiate. Oh. ves. Kansas is a great state. Here ar people tleeitig from it by tho score every day, capital going o:tt of the state by U.e hundreds of dollars, and every in dustry except farming paralyzed, and that crippled hceatise its product have to go across the ocun Lui'oro thoy can find a burring man at work who e-ati afford to buy them. It's don't stp this year. Let's drive all the . dectnt, self-rope-ting men out of tho state. Let's keep the old clod-hoppers who know it all. I-t's encourage the man who is "jtosted." He can talk, and what v.e need is not null hands to eat our incut, nor fa.-tory hands to eat our wheat, nor citios to oppress the farmer by con sumiii'4 hU Uer and eggs nd chickens and produce; what Kansas needs is men who i-.n talk, who have large Ieisare ttt argue t!o ourroney qiie.Uioti whiio their wives wait at homo f.r that nicklo's worth of blueing..

The pessimistic statement heard so often that farming is a losing business at the present price of wheat is disprov ed by the fact that thousands of new farms are ocnel every year in tlie Northwest. A steady migration of far mers is coming into Minnesota all the time. North Dakota has received a large army of new settlers during the past few months. From South Dakota also, cj.ti ; rp irts of th setting in of a tile of new agricultural population. The facts about farming in this region me, that while a man who hires all his lalior and tries to work a large amount of laud and live like a man of means is very likely to become bankrupt, the man who tills the soil with his own hands and lives savingly, gets ahead year by year. The prosperous fanners, however, long ago found out that it is uot safe to bank on one crop. They raise wheat regularly, but they raise something else and always have a few head of cattle to sell in the full ami a few hogs to convert into pork. Thele is mure hard work done by farmers now than there used to be in the flush times, and there is less sitting around the country taverns and stores telling stor ies aud smoking ten cent cigars; but no level headed, thrifty, Industrious fann er is getting behind because of the hard times. On the contrary.the whole hulk of farm mortgages iu our Northwest ern States is being steadily reduced, and this fact tells the story of the actu al condition of our agricultural classes Northwest Magazine.
