a HOUSE WITHIN A HOUSE.
How O New York Inventor Solves
Problem,

How New York Inventor oolveB Il
Problem,
A New York inventor thinks he has
solved the problem of how to prevent
the walls of homes from cracking. The
inventor has a system that he calls
changing walls" They form house
within house. They are fastened TO
the exterior walls, but by a system Of
shifting attachments that leave the in
ner wall stationary when the outer
walls settle down or move. Thus there
is never any cracking Of the walls or
ceilings or the decorations, and the man
who has adorned them at great expense
may feel entirely at ease about them.
These walls are made in plates OF
any size, according TO the taste Of the
purchaser. They can be made Of plas-
ter or cement, aud can initiate marble
exactly. They are nodded and thus
the most delicate carvings, containing
the finest lines and shades, can be re-
produced upon their surface. These
plates have screw projecting from the
| back side. This screw Is fastened TO a
| fat bar, which Is nodded into the
cement or plaster. When the plate Is
put up the screw fits into kind OF slot
| in the outer wall. This slot will allow
the screw to shift up or down or from
side to side. Thus while the outer wall
moves, the inner wall, though attached
to IL, remains stationary, the shifting Of
the screw in the slot permitting this.
The plates are put up until the wall Is
covered, fitting into each other with the
simple tongue and groove. Nearly all
the weight OF this interior wall rests
upon the floor, while the screws merely
attach it 10 the inner wall aud prevent
it from falling in any manner.
The plates may be OF any shape or
size, and the lines Of junction will assist
In the decoration OF the wall. While re-
tanning complete and perfect wall that
cannot be cracked, the inventor holds
that this kind will admit OF much more
decoration than any other. The model
from which the plate is nodded may be
carved in any figures desired, and thus
It can be reproduced to inhnity.
Besides the beauty and permanence
OF this system OF interior and building,
the inventor says IL has another ad-
vantage scarcely inferior TO the first.
4 Luis is Oh ZIG sSolC VI nCoibi. bdlc
method the interior and the outer wall
are about five-eights of al inch apart.
The air can circulate freely between
them, and the impure and noxious gases
and contagion which accumulate In the
walls OF ordinary buildings are de-
stroyed.
The same system Is used in the con-
struction OF ceilings, except that in this
case the weight must rest upon the
screw, which, however, is capable OF
sustaining many times the weight OF
the plate as long as the building will
stand. Thus all danger from falling
pIastes, such as occurs In ordinary
houses. Is removed.
With this system applied to wall and
ceilings very beautiful interior effect
can be produced. A man may have his
room lined with these holdings as deli
cately drawn as the carvings on the
walls OF u kings chamber.

CoLumBIAN SALARIES.
Wages OF 400 Years Ago Contrasted with
Those OF To-Day.
lriI

0atcQgo Mail.
Queen Isabella Of honored memory
contributed 1, 1900 maravedis for the
building and equipment of the feet OF
three vessels with which Columbus dis
covered America. This looks, and was
at that time, q liberal contribution.
Without IL the voyage could not have
been undertaken, and the probability is
that we should not now be about to open
the Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago. How much, Ia American
money, is q maravedi. Professor Ruge,
in the Glob,ts, says that coin had very
fluctuatiay value during the time OF its
commercial Importance, the latter por-
tion Of the fifteenth and the first portion
of the sixteenth centuries. 1t was a
small coin of Moorish origin and worth,
10 Columbus's time, about three.quar-
ters of an Americn cent OF the Cleveland
period.
BY the estimate Queen Isabela's con-
tribution was equivalent to s., 200. The
city Of Palos contributed, on coDpul-
sion, enough more TO bring the total
cost of the feet up TO 81, 500 1t is evil
dent that material and labor were very
much cheaper in the year 1893 than in
the years OF 1923.
The salaries paid to Admiral Colum-
bus. his captains and crew will interest
labor unions in Chicago. Columbus re-
ceived 1880 marks or $500 per annum,
about 1918 per week. The captains,
Martin, Juan and Anton Perez, S192
each per annum; the pilots, Sl2s 70 sl53
each; the only physician who aceompa-
MED the expedition had salary OF
SIS. so per year. The sailors received
their board and SEA per month, and Ii
is hardly TO be wondered at that they
undertook to get up strikes several
times against continuing the voyage.

A Young Woman Who Has Been Upcon-
scious for Eighteen Days.
ORANGE, n. j., May Zone Of the
most remarkable cases which has been
known to New Jersey pathologists is
that OF Miss Mary Mccain, a young
woman who fell from South Orange
horse car on April 18th and has since
lain on bed in the Orange Memorial
Hospital in q state OF coma, and with
out once regaining consciousness.
During her IS days Of unconscious
ness, the young woman has been under
the constant surveillance and treatment
Of two physicians, and has been exam
ined by number OF specialists, but
nothing can be doue to bring her out or
the cOmatose condition.
Miss Mccain was employed In a
household in Newark as housemald.
On April 10 she started to visit the Or
phans' Home In South Orange with a
bundle Of presents. While on the way
up the road toward THAI village all the
passengers left the car except her. The
driver was behind time and dashed his
horses into run. The girl became
frightened and the driver and conductor
laughed at her and urged the horses
even faster. Finally her fright over
came her reason and she rushed to the
rear platform and jumped off. She was
picked up senseless, and since that time
she has not moved nor spoken. The most
detailed examinations have failed to find
any fracture or conclusion, and the ply
sicians believe that clot of blood has
formed on the brain. The skull will be
