THE OPERA IN PARIS THE GRAND STAIRCASE. WHO MAKES BURGLARS' XITSf I i IH Mill I I MIIIMIlHUHMHHIII limn ra&$n? will l-.V'h-'??: ifiSr ed upon A SPECTACULAR VIEW IN THE PARIS OPERA HOUSE. Perhaps at no other point con so vivid an impression of the riches and grace of the French capital be gained as at the foot of the grand staircase leading to the interior of the opera house at Paris. The exterior of the building with its colonnade lit with blue mercury lights is familiar to everyone who has been to Paris, but until the visitor has witnessed this scene of shimmering satin and sparkling Jewels he will have missed a re markable sight which only the opera can show him. f few Sbopa Where the Jimmy Ca lie Uouirbt. Every little while, said a London detective, recently, the police arrest a man with a set of burglar's tools 1 his possession, and one naturally won ders where they all come from. It Is easy to buy a gun of any description and the most reputable person would not be alarmed to be seen purchasing the most wicked looking knife ever made, but who would know where to get a jimmy or a device for drilling Into a safe or any of the many tool used by the professional burglar In the pursuit of his calling? There probably are places In the large cities where these things are made and sold to the user, but such places are exceedingly scarce. It may seem a little strange to learn that most of the tools used in burglaries made by mechanics who are look' as respectable men in the iity. When a burglar wants any particular tool made he goes to a mechanic who can do the job, and pays him perhaps five times what it is actually worth for making the tool and keeping quiet about it. Many de tectives can recall cases of this kind that have come to light in London. One in particular occurred some years ago, when an escaped convict named Williams went to a blacksmith in the East End and got him to make a lot of drills to be used in safe crack' ing. He personally superintended the tempering of the steel, but when the Job was nearly completed it leaked out, and Williams was arrested. In this instance the blacksmith knew nothing of the use to which the tools were to be put. Most of the tools used by burglars are secured in the same way. The only regular establishment ever discovered where they were made was In the East End. This was years ago, and the place was soon pounced upon IjjgjfrvAtion Arkansas leads among the states in the production of bauxite, her output being more than 60 per cent of the total last year. Holland has a new law forbidding the adulteration of butter, under pan alty of Imprisonment, which may reach one year. The brilliancy of a limelight- used in a demonstrating lantern can be in creased by slipping it over an ordi nary gas maTitle. The United States government main tains fifty-seven wireless telegraph stalons and has ninety-six vessels fitted out with the apparatus. A professorship of aerostatics has been founded In Gettingen Universi ty, and schools for training aeronauts are to be established in several Ger man cities. The word "tungstoller" has been coined to define the fixture used to hold a group of tungsten electric . lights in proper position to give the best ser.vice. Austria limits the number of drug Btores to the number of Inhabitants of a district or city, and the need of an additional one must be clearly shown before the license Is Issued. The geological survey Is erecting at Pittsburg a testing plant for structu ral material that will be able to han dle girders C5 .feet long and give them a tension of 10,000,000 pounds. Government tests have shown that many coals which are too high In ash and sulphur for economical use under boilers or for cooking may be made commercially valuable by proper wash ing. Messrs. Henri and Stodel recently demonstrated to the French Academy of Sciences the practicability of steril ' lzlng milk by means of the ultraviolet rays emitted by mercury vapor lamps. Milk thus treated can be completely sterilized in the cold. At the same meeting of the academy Mons. A. Gascard showed that milk to which potassium bichromate has been added as a preservative keeps much better In the dark. The Yana language of northern Cali fornia represents a distinct linguistic stock, and had formerly three dialects, one of which is now extinct. It pos sesses two forms of speech, one of which is employed by men speaking to men, while the other Is used In all other cases. Practically, the language has only nouns and verbs, the adjectl lves, adverbs, numerals, Interrogative pronouns and conjunctions being form ed from the verbs. In the Calaveras National Forest there are two groves of big trees. In the North Grove, in Calaveras County, tnere are ten trees eacn naving a diameter of 25 feet or over, and more than seventy having a diameter rang ing between 15 and 25 feet. The tree called the "Father of the Forests." which now lies on the ground. Is esti mated to have had a height of 450 feet, and a diameter, at the ground, of mora than 40 feet. The bark on these trees runs from 6 Inches to 2 feet In thickness. Besides the giant sequoias, there are hundreds of sugar pines and yellow pines from 8 to 10 feet In diameter, and ranging to 275 feet In height ARNOLD'S TREASON EXPECTED. The New York Building Code, sea Revolutionary Letter Lately Sold Telia of Ilia Tory Friendship, An interesting historical letter, re- tlons 153-155, provides that, on the latlng to Benedict Arnold's treason, refusal of an owner of an unsafe Gen.

Coughing is one of the nuisances, that no one has been able to abolish In churches or In theaters. A physician however, claims that the coughing nui sance Is a mere question of acoustics. "There Is a subtle connection be tween the eaF and the throat," he said "When the ear Is strained the throat Is affected and a cough Is the result. "When we can hear perfectly In church or theater It never occurs tc us to cough. But when we bend for ward, straining every nerve to catch the actor's or preacher's muffled syl lables, then we find ourselves coughing every little while. Build auditoriums with perfect acoustic properties, and I warrant that the thunderous choruses of coughs, so common now among U3, will be no more heard." tiff. auu maite u again habitable.
