BURGLAR HAS LEGAL RIGHT In England He Is Considered to Have Right to Life, If Not to Liberty. it seems that the English burglar has a very definite right to his life, if not to liberty and the pursuit ol happiness. The Law- Times discus ses the matter at some length and seems to think that if you shoot a burglar except In a positive defense of your own life It may be nearly as unpleasant for you as for the burglar. A man may defend his person or hit property, but he must use no more violence than is absolutely necessary He may not fire at a burglar before he has begun to burgle, even though he knows that he intends to burgle. He may not fire on him after he hae finished burgling and merely to prevent his escape. If he does, and kills the burglar, he will be guilty of man slaughter. You may not kill any man merely because he Is assaulting you ot stealing your goods. You must prove that your own life was in danger. But there is some compensation for these disabilities. A burglar is usually caught by the police and, when caught he will be tried at once, and will usually find himself Irrevocably in jail on that same day. And If he was armed he will cease to be a danger to society tor a good many years. 11 any appeal be allowed it will be heard in the course of a tew days and decided on the spot. ODD BOX OFFICE REQUESTS Visitor in New York Who Wanted Seat 9, Row T, Asked for Seat Ninety. A visitor from out of town appeared at the Metropolitan box office recently. "I would like to have seat No. 90,” she said to the man behind the grating. “There is no such seat In the house," he told her. "But there must be,” she insisted. “A friend of mine in Troy told me it was the beet seat in the house, and to be sure and get it, if possible." The ticket seller thought a moment and handed out a ticket. It was mark ed, Seat 9, Row T. “That’s the nearest thing to “ninety I can give you.” said he. When the buyer had departed he said: "We have all kinds of funny ro quests. The other day a funny chap came along and asked for the dog seat I told him dogs were not allowed. Thea he said: “Well, give me K 9 then.’ ” —New York Journal. Age of Peat. Natural peat, as Is generally known, is the product of the partial decay of mosses and other plants that grow in swampy places or In damp and foggy regions. Dr. Berglus, a German chemist, is said to have produced artificial peat by subjecting a mixture of cellulose and water to a pressure of more than 6,000 pounds to the square inch and heating the mixture to about 240 degrees centigrade. This treatment continued for twenty-four hours trans forms the pulp Into a product the con stituents of which are identical with those of peat Calculations based on this new process show that at a temperature as low as that of the earth, it must have required 7,000,000 years to form the deposits of natural peat This estimate agrees roughly with the calculations of geologists.—Youth's Companion. What Makes the Corn Pop? Every one knows and likes that humble but cheerful dainty, pop-corn. But how many can tell what makes the corn pop? A writer In Harper’s Weekly explains: A kernel of pop-corn is filled with tightly packed starch grains. The interior of the kernel is divided into a large number of cells, each of which max be likened to a tiny box, the waits of which are strong enough to withstand considerable pressure from within. Upon the application of heat, the moisture present in each little box is converted into steam that finally escapes by explosion. The grain of corn then literally “turns Inside out,” and is transformed into a relatively large mass of snow-white starch. Helpful Remedies. Do you know that equal parts of turpentine and ammonia will remove paint from clothing no matter how hard it may be? Saturate the paint two or three times and wash the spot with warm water and soap. If the hands are covered well with soap and it is allowed to dry before polishing the stove, the polish will not adhere to the hands and will wash off without any trouble. To remove the dust from radiators Is an easy task if you possess an electric fan. Place this article on the floor in front of the radiator and apply the current; move the fan up and down until every particle of dust has been blown from the crevices. Depth of the Sea. The loftiest mountains in the world are something over five miles high, 1 but there are ocean depths of over six, miles. The German survey ship Planet sends word that she has made the deepest sounding thus far taken. About forty sea miles off the north coast of Mindanao, the largest and most southerly of the Important islands of the Philippines, the Planet found a depth of 32,078 feet. In other! words, the Pacific where the sounding was taken has a depth of 6.07 miles, txceeding by 482 feet the greatest lepth hitherto shown. —Dundee Ad ver-
