Count Sologool), the son j of the famous Uussian author, inher- 1 Iteil at his father's death a huge lor- [ tune, which ho rapidly stiuandored in i gambling and at the end of live years was pVactlcally i)Cii!iiless. Later he married the l^rincess i;hL>- looscheva and received a dowi'y of 51,000,01)0 with her. Once, however, when he was driv- ing ill a diligence over the icn-eover- ed I{ivcr Vistula the ice broke and the diligence fell through. .Sologoob not only saved hiiusolf, but was suc- cessful in rescuing tho lUissian mil- lionaire tea merchant, S. I'opon'. On Popoli's death, ten years ago, a will was found leaving Count Solo- goob his whole fortune. Ihit tho fam- ily of Topoli disputed this will, say- ing that the signature was a forgery instigated by tho Count. He was arrested "and e.xpert ovidenco was cal- led in. The ex])erts were lirn: in their opinion that the signature was false, and .Sologoob was sentenced to life imprisonnient in Siberia.

Jt was plain to see tliat I'ilot was horribly jealous of .lumbo. Ilefore Jumbo's arrival Pilot had been the .star mon- ster of the herd, and he seemed to know that he had heeii .siijierseded as well as we knew it. "One evening at Lansing, Jfich., I'ilot got loo.-e from his chains, and, wilhoiit making any iioi.'o. he work- ed himself ai-oumi in front of .Jutn- . bo's place of honor in the menagerie.

It is tlie Idggcst safe in the world. In this safe are already ileposited iiu)re securities than in any other place in the world. Wealth untold is represented thereby stocks and bonds, jewelry ami silver plate.

The hinge of lliis big door weighs 7,000 iiounds. The door and vestibule weigh .'50 tons, and yet so nicely is the door bahricod on ball bearings that a ba- by night close it. with a gentle pres- ,sun of its tiny finger. The safe is rtii feet long, .'^.S feet wide and nine feet in height. Tho walls are four feet thick. The inlerior is fitted u|i with L'.OOO boxes but !1.000 more will be added as thoy are needed. Formidable as the mechanical appli- ances are for safety they are not di'- peiided on altogether. Day and night men guard the big door. They pace back and forth like soldiers on guard. Three times in the niglit a third watclii Kill walks through the corri- dor to see that the sentinels are at- tending to their duty.
