I - Saves All Wasted With Other Stoves For Hard Coal, Soft Coal or Lignite The waste of gas in burning hard coal is shown by opening the magazine cover of an ordinary base burner, when the oxygen supplied fills the entire stove with flaming gas. Cole's Hot Blast Stove burns this gas in hard coal which, in ordinary stoves, escapes, on account of their leaky con struction, causing great waste and endangering health and life when it escapes into the rooms. In the ordinary maga:.ine hard coal stove, three-fourths of the coal is partially consumed in the magazine) where it gives off no heat, as it is not in contact with the radiating surface. The one fourth of the coal in the fire pot must be kept at a white heat combustion to throw the heat into the 'rooms, thus causing great waste. Cole's Hot Blast The combustion chamber and the magazine are combined in this stove and the Combustion is Perfect. The stove is filled to the top of the inside cast iron coal is burned under perfect control by means of the abso lutely air-tight construction of the stove giving perfect con trol over the drafts. The coal is kept at a slow, economical cherry red combustion and as the heat is in direct contact with every square inch of the sensitive steel radiating sur face, all the heat is radiated into the room where it is wanted and not blanketed in and sent up the chimney. Hard coal at Cherry Red Combustion burns 48 hours, while at white heat it is consumed in from 2 to 5 hours. Sold Under a Positive Guarantee We Guarantee Cole's Original Hot Blast to use less hard coal for heating a given space than any base burner with the same heating surface. Requires attention only morning and night with hard coal. Warm rooms day and night. No escaping gases to endanger life. The heat wasted up the chimney with other stoves is saved. Burns Any Fuel Saves Half Cole's Hot Blast is not only a perfect hard coal stove, but is generally recognized as the most econom ical and cleanest soft coal stove made. Soft coal is half gas and a $3.00 ton of soft coal or a $2.00 ton of slack is made to do the work of $9.00 worth of hard coal, as the gas half is utilized as a heat producer. It burns soft coal, hard coal or wood without any change of fixtures. Scientific Construction Cole's Original Hot Blast has an absolutely air-tight and gas tight construction throughout, bv reason of its numerous patented improvements. The patented Hot Blast draft saves the gas. A patented steel collar connects the elbow draft to the stove body and cannot be made to leak air by action of the fiercest heat. The patented compound hinge on the ash door cannot warp and the dcxir closes air-tight by its own weight. The heavy fire box protects the joints, where other stoves burn out first. The guaranteed smoke-proof feed door prevents smoke, soot or dust from escaping Into the room when fuel is put into the stove. Perfect cleanliness, therefore, from soft coal. CAUTION. Like all original improvements, Cole's Original Hot Wast has nianv imitations: They are failures, because they do not have the above patented features. The words " Cole's Hot Blast from Chicago " will be found on the feed door of every Cole's Hot Blast. None genuine without it. KEYSTONE HARDWARE CO. SOLE AGENTS Near Postoffice. Reynoldsville, Pa.

The Nerve, Skill and Patience IIlii. I lily oil In the Itohlieiy of Ilona kauu; Ilnnk Vaults Extensive anil Suceessfnl 'I'unneilnK Operations. lu the whole catalogue of during bank robbi-rioa there Is no utory more amazing than that of the robbery at I'.ic Hongkong branch of the Hunk of Western India, for not only did the cane display the most ualunlslilng dar ing, skill uud patience on the part of the robbers, but their success has never been equaled by other bnuU breakers. It was generally understood that the safes nnd vaults of the Western bank were about the strongest ever built, and the robbers of course, knowing tills, decided to attack the bank in a way they believed the builders had never nnticljmted, and therefore uot provided for. They rented a house on tile opposite side of the street and set tled down to live like simple minded gentlemen. Some three months later the manager of the bank had occasion to visit the vaults, and, to his utter amazement and consternation, he discovered that the principal safe, which a day or two before had coulaiue;! upward of 50,01)1) in bullion and other valuables, had been emptied of everything. It tlid not take long to throw the respon sibility for this astonishing change on the simple minded gentlemen over the way, but when u visit was paid to their abode it was found thut they, too, hud disappeared. While living quietly uud respectably, evincing no inclination to hide them selves, but showing their faces fre quently nt the windows and walking in the streets like the most honest folk, the robbers constructed a tunnel con necting the basement of their domicile with the units of the bank. To uc coinplish this they dug n shaft down to a suliicient depth to enable tlieni to tunnel under the road without being heard by passengers or risking a col lapse of the earth,-and they cut on upward shaft, giving them access to the vaults, where, one day when the bank wits closed and they knew the safes were loaded with valuables, they quietly broke in nnd cleared away everything worth taking. One can easily appreciate the cour age and patience of these men. They had to cut a tunnel between eighty and ninety feet long, sulliclently high nud wide to allow the passage of two men carrying a heavy chest; they had to dispose of tile immense amount of earth displaced In cutting the tunnel without any one knowing, and after twelve weeks' incessant labor in cut ting the tunnel they had yet to make a way through the concrete Hour of the bank and break into a safe of excep tional strength. The cutting of the upward shaft under the bank partic ularly must have been an uiixIouh task for the robbers, since at any moment they might have betrayed themselves to some oils,- above, and it speaks vol umes for the care with which they labored that no -one suspected them or what was happening until they had made their escape with 5o.()t)() worth of valuables, the carrying away of which, apart from anything else, must have been far from a simple mutter. An equally surprising feat was per formed by the thieves who stole 40, 000 worth of diamonds from a Klmber ley bank some years ago. While the tunnel In this case was only about twenty feet long, owing t the fact that the thieves Were able to avail themselves of a big main drain to ap proach the bank secretly, other dillicul- ties that had to be overcome were much more, formidable than In the Hongkong cane. The safe in which the diamonds were deposited was one of sue'-remnrkablo strength that before entetTg on their enterprise the thieves evidently decid ed it would fie hopeless to attempt to break into it nt the sides or door, as. the work might occupy too much time. nnd that It would be necessary for them to attack it nt the back, which, being built Into a wall, they could work upon after bank hours, perhaps for days togethir If necessary. And this decision was arrived nt despite their knowledge that the wall Into which the gnfe was built was three feet thick and built of solid granite. Tl'.ey started operations from the drain running down below the street on which the bank fronted by digging a tunnel twenty feet long on a level with the bunk's vaults. This tunnel, cut through exceedingly tlilllcuit ground, opened on the foundations of the build ing, which were, on the one hand, too deep to be passed under, and, on the other bund, so thick and solid four feet of the strongest masonry tunt hlnety-nine men out of a hundred would have nlinndosed the enterprise if only because of the risk of cutting a pnssngo through such a wnll beneath the feet of an office full of clerks nnd ever pass ing pedestrians In the street. Hut the thieves had a fort una In diamonds In view and were men not easily fright ened or disheartened, and they not only cut a way through the foundations, but through two other walls little less for midable, before th,ey came upon the "mil wall Into which the safe wns otillt, and they made n way through this latter and the massive steel buck of the safe in such n quiet, workman like style that not a sotd suspected any thing was amiss until one of the bank ofllcials went to the safe nnd found It cleared of 10,000 worth of exquisite diamonds. Against these two astonishingly suc cessful enterprises stands the attempt. on the Mexican branch of the National Rank of America, when failure attend ed the tiller es not because they were any less daring or workmanlike, but owing to the sheerest bad luck. They constructed n tunnel from a house they rented to the vaults of the bank, but failed by n few hours to reach the val uables, worth an enormous sum of money, owing to an accident. It chanced that when these men had tunneled a distance of some thirty yards and arrived Just within the vault where the safe was some of the beams they had used to shore up the tunnel collapsed, causing a slight subsidence of the bank's foundations. At the same time the manager happened, quite con trary to his custom, to go to Ids olHce, and he wns surprised to find a diffi culty in openl '.g the door of the room. A cursory examination wns enough to show him that since closing time the wild of his room had sunk slightly, causing the door to prws on the floor. rrobahly this circumstance alone would not have shattered the thieves' scheme, since the manager would have waited till the morning to call n build er In, by which time the safe would have been emptied, but while he was considering the matter the thieves in the vault below were making frantic efforts to repair the damage tj the tun nel sufllciontly to enable them to com plete their task before daybreak, and the manager heard them working be neath his feet. The consequence was ho Immediately took a light and a re volver and descended to the vault. Two men suddenly appeared before him. He shot one dead, but the other disappeared In a manner which utterly ballled his comprehension till he search ed the' vault and came on the mouth of the tunnel, which, of course, ex plained everything. London Standard. HALLE'S CAKE DANCE. An Ancient 'Ceremony That In Snereil to (he Snlt Workers. Halle, the little fiertnnn salt making city, whose inhabitants nre supposed to be descended from un early race of different blood from the modern fJor mans, has a curious fete of lis own, which has been celebrated annually for many centuries. On that day the masters and the salt makers, clad in red ma titles, follow to church the cuke of the feast, borne aloft by a youth, accompanied by his sweetheart. After the religious rites follow a banquet nnd a dance to the music of instru ments specially devoted to the pur pose. The fete originated . In an Incident that took place so long ago that tho very date has been lost. A mill be longing to the commune wns burned, nnd the family of the miller was saved by the salt workers. When the mill wns rebuilt the commune voted to the salt hollers In perpetuity an annual cake of 100 pounds, to be blessed, car ried In piMcrnslon and then eaten sol emnly to the music of drums nnd fifes. The ceremony had been going on thus for generations when In 1370 thero wns n new lire In the city which de stroyed tho city ball, but spared the salt works nnd the dwellings. Then tho pious commune adopted n resolu tion thanking God for what he had spared nnd declaring that thereafter the cake bearer nnd the salt masters nnd their men should mnko the proces sion clad not In black, as formerly, but lu tunics of ardent red, with plumes of the same color In their caps. The date nf the fete was also changed from St. Peter's nnd St. Paul's day to ftt. John':) day. the longest day In the year. Since 1378 this order has been faithfully ob served. The cut of the tunic has varied somewhat with the fashion prevailing, but the style of Louis XV. predomi nates. Thus nppear the carrier of tho cake and his sweetheart, nnd thus is clad Hie halberdier. After the banquet the men and maidens of honor, being those who in years before have carried the cake, decorate with red popples the crowd that presses In the public square. Then In the midst of a spot protected by barriers the men and mnlds of hon or execute not a enke walk, but a cake dance, a grave function In, which one must neither spenk nor smile. The dunce Is not complicated, but the music Is of a special character, and this gives the whole a peculiar distinction. In the evening there Is a dance of a gayer character nt an Inn. The waltz here begins reully at 4 o'clock In the after noon and Is continued until dawn. The red linbits are put away at the end of the fete, not to be brought out again for a yenr. They descend from father to son and are preserved with the ut most care. Ilusbund (during the spat) I wish you were some place where I would never see you again.
