Detectives declared that in all the latest big jewels hauls the victims have been shadowed for months. Here, are.a few of the big “jobs” which have taken place’ this season: Mrs, J. Byrne, an Ameri¢an, Tob- bed of, $60,000 worth of 'jewelry.

Robbery. of 130 gold snuff boxes and ruby set goblets from a house on the Brighton road. i In no case has there been any trace of the missing valuables. Us" ually in the case of common criminals at least “part of the booty turns up here or on the continent. - . Everday the newspapers banner- head jewel hauls. Recently two women said to be agents of “Mor- airty” walked into a jewelry store and asked to be shown a gold bag: When the bag was produced fhe two girls, both of whom were pretty and stylishly dressed, asked the shop as- sistant.to weigh the bag. The young man retired to the back of the shop ‘and the girls calmly put their hands throngh the partition separating the window from the shop, and scooped up two trays full of ‘diamond rings valued at.$95,000- When the young man came back he noticed nothing as the partition had been closed after the theft. The girls calmly asked the weight of the bag, and, being told, they declared it was too expensive. They- smiled sweetly -and walked out. They have not been seen since, but police say they answer the de- scription of “Morairty’s” most arist- cratic women assistants. London is echoing with the theft from a married couple living in Crom- well the following: Twelve dia- mond broaches, rope of 284 pearls, gigantic ruby, formerly in the fez of a famous Shah of Persia; other jewels valued at $50,000. And again the police are bzffled. Rewards already run into tens of thousands of dollars, but the police say such rewards are useless. The master mind, this Napoleon of crime, pays his agents so well that at a paltry bribe they turn up their aristocratic noses. NO “CHANGE IN PROCEDURE “8ame Old Objéction, Same Old Rul Ing,” and Judicial Proceedings Went on Their Way.” ™ A reader was overhauling his old files of Life the other day when he came across a story with a distinct Oleveland flavor. It concerns a once noted member of the local bar, and a well-known judge, who, happily, I8 still numbered among the living. Here {8 the story just as it appeared 26 years ago: “A most amusing reply was made by Judge Neff to an objection made by Attorney Vernon Burke. The replevin sult. of Oapt. Joseph Doville against Coustable Hudson was on hearing. Mr, Burke had continually made ob- Jectlon to certain‘testimony, and every one of the objections was religiously overruled by Judge Neff. “Later, Captain Dovllle was on the stand and the same question came up again. “< object, cried ,Mr. Burke In a stentorian volce. ““What's your objection? asked Judge Neff. “*Same old objection,’ replied the attorney. “*Same old ruling, apswered the judge. ‘Proceed’ "—Cleveland Plain Dealer. éolfiy Bird-Books. A London. bookseller ‘reports that |, many -of the standard works on birds are conspicuous for their high prices. | Thus a copy of “Lilford’s Birds of the| : British Isles” with Thorburn's plates, 15 listed at £75. A complete copy of the “Ibis” runs to £130, and the “Cata- logue of Birds in the British Museum,” ! to £54. Beebe's “Monograph of the|: Pheasants” stands at £50, and Elliot's monograph of the same order at £80. It you want Dresser’s “Birds of Eu- rope” today you must pay £95, and for Gould's “Birds of Europe,” £105. Gould's “Birds of Australia” can be qhtained for £285, and his “Mono- graph of the Humming Bird" for £78. .The, climax' 18 reached by the “Orni- thalogical ‘Bibliography': Relating to| American Birds” that appears in thel| X l‘lm‘ g';,s'rp, and b§’Audubon's “Birds | | of-America,” Which" demands a shelf ,-AR.Jarge a8 an ordlnary dining table for each of its gigantie volumes, and .. is priced at £600.

The survey was made to classify various methods of Constitutional ine struction ini order to obtain the best standard for universal adoption. A contest among grammar school pupils was conducted by ‘the League in con- nection with the survey, and prizes were awarded for the best suggestions for the dramatization, by pageants or char- ades, -of :the principal provisions of the Constitution. ~ School children in only fourteen states zompeted and the dis« covery was made that the Constitution will be remembered as an active: member of the Masonic lodge.

An expedition has left Seattle for' ring sea to search for ‘ambergris,’ which 18 now more precious than gold. There is a-decided shortage of this material, which is used.in perfumery, and .as' yet no substitute .has been evolved. 4 Ambergris is a morbid growth In| the whale's intestines and when eject- ed into the sea floats like the chilled grease on broth, until found. It con- tains a property necessary to hold varlous chemicals in solution. Near the mouth of the Yukon riv- er there is said to exist a virgin field, for ambergris. Actions of various cur- rents tend to congregate all floats into .one gigantic whirlpool, and in the hopes of finding ambergris there, sev- eral hardy fellows are now en route north on the steamer Victoria.
