The thieves then climbed into the office through a fanlight and opened the door by turning the Yale lock from the in- side. Here they were able to get into the safe and cash register, obtaining over $50 in cash. They also secured a roll of five hundred feet of brake lin- ing, valued at $1 per foot, and a large quantity of accessories of all kinds. In Mr. Stuckley’s garage, entrance was gained in a similar manner. Only a small quantity of cash was obtained and the quantity of supplies was not Little Alfred: “Mamma and papa keep me worried all the time!” a - Little Billie: “What do they do?” thtle Alfred: “Mamma won’t let me stand on my head and papa fusses be- cause I wear my shoes out so fast." quite so large. Luck was with the bandits as about 3.30 am. on Saturday the Hydro went off. It is thought that it was about then that the work was done as there had been a dance in town from which all the merry-makers nad not gone home until after 2 o’clock. On learning of the theft Mr. Saun- ders notified Constable Tindale, who in turn notified the provincial constable for this district. Dissatisfied with what he regarded as very dilatory con- duct on the part of this official, Mr. Saunders went to headquarters in the Parliament Buildings. Toronto. Here he received very different treatment. An inspector and a finger-print detec- tive were sent back with him to Arthur, where a thorough investigation was madeâ€"Arthur Enterprise. W. S. Stuckey, proprietor of the other garage visited, amounted to something over 3400. At present the robbers seem to have made a clean get away without leaving any trace as to whence they came or whither they have gone, al- though it seems probable that the Arthur job was pulled off by the gang that have committed similar outrages in Durham, Mount Forest, Kenilworth, Shelbume, Dundalk, Georgetown, Mil- ton and several other towns in this section of Ontario during recent months. Garages Lost in Early Morning Raid Some time during the early hours of Saturday morning, two of Arthur’s garages were raided by burglars, whose identity still remains unknown.

Few bigger fish have ever been pulled out of the river here on a line, and Mr. Koebke is justly proud One of the largest fish to be pulled out of the Saugeen on a troll for some years was caught on Saturday last by Mr. August Koebke, one of our veteran anglers, who has passed his 74th mile- stone, and whose feat is envied by many of the younger disciples of Isaac Walton. This fish, which was caught on a small bass troll which Mr. Koebke was using for a pike, was a huge mus- kaionge weighing 16% pounds and This follows the interview with Reeve Ham and Alderman Steele had with the Minister last week to ascertain what assistance would be granted should the town undertake to put in sewers. The amount is of course, dis- appointingly small in comparison with a probable cost of approximately $150,000 for a complete installation. It is something to consider, however.â€" Fergus News-Record.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE suits which would withstand pressures up to 800 or 1,000 pounds to the square inch, within which a man could des- cend without subjecting his body and lungs to the pressure. The principal difficulty has been in providing any way in which the diver, once at the bottom of the sea, could see anything, for it was harder to make a glass window that would stand up under pressure, than to make a steel shell which would not be crushed by the weight of water. Dr. William Beebe, the naturalist, recently experimented with a steel sphere shaving a quartz window nearly a foot thick, in which he descended more than 1.100 feet at the end of a cable, to study deep-sea fish life. But if Dr. Beebe had discovered a wreck full of gold at that depth it wouldn’t have done him any good. be- cause there were no arms, grippers, or fingers on the outside of his sphere with which to pick up the treasure. That has been another difliculty in treasure-hunting at great depthsâ€"the difliculty of Operating any sort of grappling device which could be oper- ated from within the apparatus.

He was going down to the bottom of Lake Huron, where the “Chippewa” has lain for more than 50 years with several thousand tons of c0pper ingots from the northern Michigan mines in her hold. The value of her cargo, at the present price of copper, is above a million dollars. One or two eflorts at dredging have brought up some of the capper, so the location of the wreck is precisely known.
