In the centre of the same flat land strip, Banked on both sides by fisher- men's homes, is a large, open square forty yards from the water front. Here stands Plymouth Rock, the first sight of which givesono a mental shock, for, no doubt, fancy has pictured an im- mense boulder rising grandly out of the sea; but, instead, the visitor sees only an oblong, irregularly shaped gray sand- stone rock twelve feet in length and five feet in width at the widest point and two at the narrowest, Across one part runs a large crack which has been filled with cement, and which gives to Ply- mouth Rock a highly artificial appear- ance. The origin of this crack Is a bit of unique history, and bears evidence to the early differences that at times divided the inhabitnts into two fac- tions. For a long time there waged spirited and bitter wrangling between' the op- posing parties, and it even settled down upon the nauch-oberished Plymouth Rock, which one party declared ought to be removed to a more worthy position in the town square, and the other wrano.- - lers protested it should not be moved a 11 inch from its position, even though they had to guard it with their pike and guns. Fluidly the stronger faction drew up their forces around Plymouth Rock, and in attempting to move it up the hill splint it in sunder, which seemed a bad omen for those -who had attempted such a thing, until an ardent Whig - leader, flourishing his sword, and by elo- quent appeal to the other zealous Whigs, convinced them that they should not swerve from their plan of carrying the rock to a place in the town square The portion that first fell to the ground belongs to las," be cried, "and that we will transport with all care and diligence to its proper home." Twenty yoke of oxen drew the Whig' section of Plymouth Rock up the hill, amid the shouts of the throne that pushed forward around the liberty pole which was to mark the new site. The ceremony of dedicating the rock in its new position was very impressive, and the people stood with bared heads and in reverent tones chanted their high- pitched psalms in token of thanksgiving. In the town square this part of Ply- mouth Rock remained for more than half a century, when a committee of the Council resolved to move it back to its ariginal position, and join it, as best they could, to the other half. Accord- ingly, in 1834, on the morning of the Fourth of July, the Plymouth Rock had been reunited in all seriousness to its long -estranged portion, and the nnion made complete by a mixture of cement and mortar. To -day four granite colunnts support a canopy of granite that offers Ply- mouth Reek an indifferent protection against the rain and the sun, and serves to keep back in some measure the thou- sands of sightseers that come to Ply- mouth with only one object in view, namely, to press up around the iron bars, and to gaze through them at the reversed rock, on which they see the single inscription cut in the middle of its face in long, plain figures, "1620." The rock is surrounded by a high iron, railing composed of alternate boat hooks andharpoons, and inscribed with elle illustrious names of 'the forty men who drew up the Pilgrim's compact on board the Mayflower tbat November day as they sighted the coast that henceforth was to me their home, SAFETY OF OCEAN TRAVEL.

WAYS OF NEW YORK BURGLARS, sefety of travel on the sea. Teatime to ita efficiency was recently given b an officer of the Kaiser 'Wilhelm d &lasso, upon wbieli the ttew equiprne ie earned, We have eo frequently de seribed the device in the eolumns of tl Scientific Ameriean. that it is an/Bolen to eay that at the lighthouse or ligh ship there is a bell upon which signa are souoded and that upon the ship carried a receiving device in the for of an iron tank attached to the insid of the petting below the water lin from which wires are to be led to tele lehonee in; the chartroom or on th bridge. One receiver is placed on cm side of the ship, with separate wire train each, and by tile use of the tele phones the officer is able to bear a be that is being struck at a paint men miles distant fee% the ship and deter mine its direction. The officer of the Kaiser Wilhelm etc . Grosse states that on the last trip ever alien the sldp was four miles distan from the mouth of the River Weeer, h plainly made out the signals couveye 1 from the liglasbip there. Furthermore asthe vessel neared Nantucket, an jwhen sae was about four mike disten from the lightehip, be boatel througli the telephone the signal "064" This eon ' sists of six strokes of the bell, a paw and then six more strokes of the bell which is the Nantucket lightehip code signals At About tbe same distance from the Fire Island, light and from the San- dy Hook lightship the respective signals were distinctly audible, The value of tbia device in preventing collisions be- tween approaching ships is evident, for it has this advantage over the foghorn, that the direction of the approathing N'essel, whether from port or starboard, is determined at once by the faet that the sounds are audible to the port or starboard telephone.-Scientifie Amen, can. --,-.--saaa-----1-- , eire Tide ominous bit of parody as espial - The burglars make hay. a laity eppropriate fee New i'orkere et II; this time ef the year whoa so inaay oLt*l- eans have lovIzed op their house* Or rt apartaneata to spend while ia the . wintry, It is in 41;e Yacatiee menthe ethounattrt.Thetilatenj4rghiaaar abeeeckosn1(:htooe ei4tya.nrozuThie mo The night* are so short that ler Oa hardly get to work on job the limo* 9, When folks sleeps eounclest before the ' light begins to break.

In East New York, for example, there bave been so many " !enviers and sneak thieves abroad that , men and women sit up nights with all manaer of firearms handy to repel at- tacks, Five thefts in_the region bound- ed by Bradford and Fulton streets, Ar- lington and Miller avenues, were re- ported recently in a single night. In the eastern section of Harlem 30 burg- laries have oceurred in the last 10days In spite of strongest safes, more cun: Meg electric alarm systems and more complete methods of identifyieg crimin- als, the burglar seems to be feared nowadays much more than he used to be. An evidence of this ie the tremen- dome growth of the burglar' fusionism° bilsIfinttelemor ss intehltahrutunitorayeginfaagorecent ptriaztmer. A cally all effort to insure people against theft proved futile. Companies were organized for this purpose, but after many vieissitudes they ended in failure. Biwa that nearly a deem corpora- tionImmo come into existence, and so large is the business they do that in the last year they paid over 11384,147 in burglary losses. In the same time they collected $1,386,610 in promiume. This inereasing dread of the bur glar is due to the fact that he never was more formidable or more active tban at the present time. In these days of greater wealth those temptations whith are so alluring to the thief have been multiplied. Consequently there are more diamond robberies, and crimes of a sim- ilar character now than in the past. The discovery of more effective tools and more powerful explosives has aleo aid- ed the robber, and although he does not attempt as often as he did to blow up the big city banks, because of their alarm systems arta special patro/s, his ravages in country districts have grown to an alarming extent, At the present time four out of five bank burglaries are committed in towns of less than 1,000 inhabitants. In the last eight years 776 beaks situated in such communities were attacked, with a loss of $1,250,- 000. Safes once regarded as burglar proof have been shown to be little stronger than soap boxes in the' hands of expert thieves and cosequently many' companies will not insure country banks at tImalpLressed with facts like these the government officials at Washington de- cided to instal an electric burglar al - men system in the treasury department in addition to the old-time "strong vaults." As Mr. Taylor, the assistant tsiemcreettary of the treasury, said at the "We have coine to the condusion. that the strongest vault built can be opened or cut by an expert safecracker. With the improved safecracker applianees abroad they can cut through five inches of chrome steel as easily as you or I go through a piece of chees with a ease knife." The modern burglar is also mbre wan•• tonly destructive than his predecessore. His us of "dope," or itroglycerine often causes a. greater damage to a building than the loss made by the theft itself. Even when he fails of getting loot he leaves a scene of wreckage behind.. Of the $1,250,000 in losses occurred by baks, of which mention has already been made, more than $300,000 repre- sented destruction of property. In rob- beries of dwelling houses and awt- nent bouses the damage averages about one-tenth of the total loss It may be seen, therefore, that if thieves are able to break into armor - lad depositories with such ease, they are far nano certain of SUCCQSS in rob- bing private apartments.. There are vet- oes sorts of criminals engaged in this kind of robbery. In winter mottles the nea,k thief and house burglar are those hiefly employed in this vocation, and O summer their ranks are swollen by he "hobo" burglars, -who return from ooting eountry banks and aostofficesaa --New York Tribune. .__ Uformation for the Cook. tBes.ake potatoes thirty to forty nmiutes.
